0238539AswaniCustomary sea tenure occurs when identifiable groups of people have rights to access resources that are in principle excludable, transferable, and enforceable. This CAREER project is a five-year study that integrates research on customary sea tenure institutions and marine resource utilization in New Georgia, Solomon Islands, with a long-term educational program designed to include American students of Pacific Island descent in research and educational activities. The research focuses on key socio-cultural, economic, political, environmental, and historical factors that affect human common property regimes. The project will assess the major historical, social, cultural, economic, and political conditions of customary sea tenure institutions in the region. This will include the historical, social, political, economic, demographic, and ecological factors that may allow some institutions to succeed and others to fail in terms of environmental sustainability, social equity, and institutional endurance. The institutional conditions best suited to adapt to contemporary demographic, economic, political and social changes will be analyzed. Studying the dynamics of common property institutions and the factors that enhance cooperation amongst social actors in this case study will advance our understanding of the conditions that encourage stakeholders to protect their marine resources. The broader impacts of this research, aside from advancing the career of a young social scientist, will be its value to conservationists and policy makers in the Pacific Region. The new knowledge created by the project will to help them understand which sea-tenure programs are likely to generate successful management programs and which are likely to fail, which will help them to formulate fisheries management initiatives like marine protected areas (MPAs). The educational component of this research also has broad implications. The involvement of Pacific Island students, a group that is often underrepresented in the sciences and humanities, will give participants training in qualitative and quantitative methods that expand across disciplinary boundaries. This training will be invaluable for the participants' future research careers in science, and will enhance the participants' environmental awareness and education.

[0238539]当可识别的人群有权获取原则上可排除、可转让和可强制执行的资源时，习惯上的海洋权属就发生了。这个CAREER项目是一项为期五年的研究，将对所罗门群岛新乔治亚州的习惯海洋权属制度和海洋资源利用的研究与一项长期教育计划结合起来，旨在让太平洋岛屿裔美国学生参与研究和教育活动。研究重点是影响人类共同财产制度的关键社会文化、经济、政治、环境和历史因素。该项目将评估该区域习惯海洋权属机构的主要历史、社会、文化、经济和政治条件。这将包括历史、社会、政治、经济、人口和生态因素，这些因素可能使一些制度在环境可持续性、社会公平和制度持久性方面取得成功，而另一些则失败。将分析最适合适应当代人口、经济、政治和社会变化的体制条件。在本案例研究中，研究共同财产制度的动态以及促进社会行动者之间合作的因素，将促进我们对鼓励利益相关者保护其海洋资源的条件的理解。这项研究的广泛影响，除了推动年轻社会科学家的职业生涯外，还将对太平洋地区的保护主义者和政策制定者产生价值。该项目创造的新知识将帮助他们了解哪些海洋权属计划可能产生成功的管理计划，哪些可能失败，这将帮助他们制定渔业管理倡议，如海洋保护区（MPAs）。这项研究的教育成分也有广泛的含义。太平洋岛国学生在科学和人文学科领域的代表性往往不足，他们的参与将为参与者提供跨越学科界限的定性和定量方法方面的培训。这项培训对参加者未来的科学研究事业将是无价的，并将加强参加者的环保意识和教育。
