Abstract

Conceptualizing South Pacific fisheries as embedded in ‘a sea of connections’ allows to highlight the multiple meanings, dimensions and expressions of ocean connectivity from/in Oceania. Between May 2018 and October 2022, the socPacific (soc for Sea Of Connections) project explored the large web of socio-cultural, policy and geopolitical connections within which fishing and fisheries management practices occur in the South Pacific region. Fiji, New Caledonia, and Vanuatu were the core geographical focus of this interdisciplinary, multi-level and multi-stakeholder research. Here, we offer an overview of the contexts and networks in which the project developed and unfolded, as well as of its main results, most of which have now been published in international peer-reviewed journals. This overview is intended to disseminate the results of this recent research as widely as possible among researchers and other actors with an interest in Oceania.
