9320498 Finney This project supports the dissertation research of a student from the University of Hawaii, studying resource conservation by a fishing community in the Solomon Islands. The student is testing the theory that traditional peoples are natural conservators of their environmental resources. By conducting participant observation, time allocation analysis and economic and household surveys, the student will test the hypothesis that fishermen stop exploiting particular resource locations when the yields decline to the average yield for the area (thus leaving a given location or "patch" before it is degraded, and so conserving it). This project is important because it will advance our understanding of indigenous knowledge in tropical marine environments; it will evaluate the role of territoriality in conserving aquatic resources; and it will contribute to our understanding of human foraging strategies as they relate to resource management and conservation. This sort of knowledge will be valuable to add to our repertoire of resource conservation strategies in a world of threatened environments. ***

9320498 Finney该项目支持夏威夷大学一名学生的论文研究，研究所罗门群岛渔业社区的资源保护。这个学生正在检验传统民族是其环境资源的自然保护者这一理论。通过参与观察、时间分配分析以及经济和家庭调查，学生将检验这样一个假设，即当产量下降到该地区的平均产量时，渔民就会停止开采特定的资源地点（从而在退化之前离开给定的地点或“斑块”，从而保护它）。这个项目很重要，因为它将促进我们对热带海洋环境中土著知识的理解；它将评价属地性在保护水生资源方面的作用；这将有助于我们理解人类觅食策略，因为它们与资源管理和保护有关。这类知识对于我们在一个环境受到威胁的世界中增加资源保护策略的储备将是有价值的。＊＊＊
