He is my hero and this is his accomplishment as much as it is mine. Next, I would be remiss without acknowledging the tremendous and never-ending support of my mother and chief editor, Mary Anne Woodrom; my dad and step-mother, Harold and Marilyn Woodrom; and my sister and assistant editor, Rebecca Reid and my brother-in-law, Lynn. My brother Roy Woodrom, whose generosity with his frequent flier miles sent me to ECOnference 2000, which set me on my path to study sea turtles as an undergraduate at Texas A&M. The rest of my extended family, especially my aunt Dr. Sandra Luna McCune for her editing assistance, also deserve acknowledgement for always being there for me regardless of the paths I choose to take.

Some participant-observer empirical materials derive from 1997–99 when the researcher was working for the Governments of Kiribati and the United Kingdom: the views expressed in the paper are those of the researcher and do not necessarily represent those of either government. A grant from the University of Canterbury to allow the researcher to visit Nikunau and Tarawa in 2009 is acknowledged. Comments on earlier versions of this paper from Hegnes Dixon, Dick Overy and two anonymous reviewers associated with the 8th Australasian Conference on Social and Environmental Accounting Research in Christchurch are appreciated, as are comments from participants at that conference and the 11th Conference of the European Society for Oceanists in Munich.

  • Forbidden Sea Turtles: Traditional Laws Pertaining to Sea Turtle Consumption in Polynesia (Including the Polynesian Outliers)
    [Downloaded free from http://www.conservationandsociety.org on Thursday, August 05, 2010, IP: 71.111.187.206] Conservation and Society 8(1): 84-97, 2010 Article Forbidden Sea Turtles: Traditional Laws Pertaining to Sea Turtle Consumption in Polynesia (Including the Polynesian Outliers) Regina Woodrom Rudrud University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Honolulu, HI, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Throughout the Pacifi c regions of Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia, sea turtles are recognised as culturally signifi cant species. The specifi cs of human–sea turtle interactions in these regions, however, are not well known, in part because ethnographic and historic reports documenting these interactions are scattered, requiring extensive archival research. Ethnographic and environmental data collected over a ten-year period are analysed to assess patterns of human–sea turtle interactions prior to (and sometimes beyond) Western contact. From the ethnographic data for Polynesia, a region-wide pattern emerges where sea turtle consumption was restricted to special ceremonies when the elites such as chiefs and priests but no one else ate turtle. Only in two countries did this pattern differ. Environmental data does little to elucidate explanations for this region-wide treatment of sea turtles as restricted food sources, as there is no correlation between environmental variability and the presence or absence of these restrictions. Instead the results of this research suggest such practices may have been part of an ancestral Polynesian society, developing
