Society-based solutions to coral reef threats in french pacific territories
Résumé
Here, we give an overview of coral reef situations in the pacific French territories in a context of global change (especially threats linked to global change). We first characterize the coral reefs in New Caledonia, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna, specifying their location and specificities, their vulnerability and threats they face. We also emphasize the economic and cultural reliance on coral reefs by local communities and other inhabitants. Secondly, taking into account the natural and anthropogenic threats on coral reefs in the French pacific territories, we discuss the ecological solutions to environmental change, focusing on mitigation and adaptation strategies. Finally, we propose some socioeconomic solutions for the region at different scales, with a special focus on enforcement measures and sociopolitical issues.
