Beschreibung

Ocean Nets Modernize delves into the transformation of Polynesian fishing practices, examining the shift from traditional, sustainable methods to motorized fishing driven by the rise of tourism. This evolution significantly impacts both the marine ecosystems and the cultural fabric of Polynesian communities. The book unveils how the introduction of motorized vessels, while initially boosting fish yields, has created complex challenges for these island societies. For instance, traditional Polynesian fishing was deeply interwoven with their cultural beliefs, a stark contrast to the increasingly commercialized practices of today.

 
The book progresses by first exploring pre-colonial Polynesian fishing techniques, emphasizing sustainability, then examining the adoption of motorized vessels and the growth of tourism. A key focus is the demand for specific fish species to cater to tourist consumption. This comprehensive approach highlights how external economic pressures and technological advancements have altered traditional ways of life, influencing everything from economic development to environmental conservation.

 
Ultimately, the study connects to environmental science, anthropology, and economics, providing a holistic view of the challenges facing Polynesian communities as they navigate globalization.

Most people think I save dogs, but really they saved me.
Niall Harbison is a dog hero based in Thailand. He spends his days feeding, caring for and rescuing the many street dogs he comes across. With every rescue there’s a story. Like the sweet gentle McMuffin who was found with many tumours and hours from death, only to be nursed back to health. She now lives with Niall and is a popular member of the pack. Then there is King Whacker – who escaped a vicious attack and is now ruling the nest living up to his name as the king of the all good dogs. And who could resist the puppy eyes of little Rodney, the beautiful dog with big paws who is melting millions of hearts around the world.
Originally from Dublin, Niall was the owner of a successful advertising company. After selling it, he moved to Thailand where his addictions – drugs and alcohol – almost got the better of him.

His aim is to help 10,000 street dogs.
This is his story.
