Guardians of Marovo Lagoon

In Hviding's case, the gap between the social and natural sciences is bridged as he deftly draws on conceptual frameworks from social and cultural anthropology, cultural ecology, history, and marine biology. As he tells the story of the people of Marovo Lagoon in New Georgia in the western Solomon Islands, his focus is on customary marine tenure, a topic that has been surprisingly neglected by most anthropologists working in the Pacific.
