Ocean Nets Modernize

Ocean Nets Modernize delves into the transformation of Polynesian fishing practices, examining the shift from traditional, sustainable methods to motorized fishing driven by the rise of tourism. This evolution significantly impacts both the marine ecosystems and the cultural fabric of Polynesian communities. The book unveils how the introduction of motorized vessels, while initially boosting fish yields, has created complex challenges for these island societies. For instance, traditional Polynesian fishing was deeply interwoven with their cultural beliefs, a stark contrast to the increasingly commercialized practices of today.

The book progresses by first exploring pre-colonial Polynesian fishing techniques, emphasizing sustainability, then examining the adoption of motorized vessels and the growth of tourism. A key focus is the demand for specific fish species to cater to tourist consumption. This comprehensive approach highlights how external economic pressures and technological advancements have altered traditional ways of life, influencing everything from economic development to environmental conservation.

Ultimately, the study connects to environmental science, anthropology, and economics, providing a holistic view of the challenges facing Polynesian communities as they navigate globalization.
