Abstract

It is important when considering the environmental spaces and places in which Pacific islanders live, to beware of false and divisive boundaries, when in fact there are numerous pluralities and overlaps, ‘grey areas’, or ‘fuzzy boundaries’. Similarly, the regulation of who can have access, who can control, who can benefit and so on, may be regulated by several sources of ‘law’. This not only means that there may be a number of sources of law pertaining to environmental matters — which is one of the problems of determining what is the environmental law of any place, but that there is a plurality of legal sources that are distinct, but which may overlap.
