Research Interests
Liana Talaue-McManus is interested in human-environment interactions in the coastal zone. Over a period of 15 years and while undertaking plankton research, she developed participatory tools to engage major stakeholders including central government and local coastal communities in a collective process of analyses and planning for their marine resources. In the Bahamas Biocomplexity Project, she is analyzing current institutional structures and functions that influence decisions regarding the design and implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs). as well as fishing and tourism uses of the marine environment using government-based indicators. To date, she has completed a study on marine food consumption by both residential and tourist populations as a proxy for harvest pressure, and another on the diving industry of the Bahamas. An ongoing study on the boating industry will be completed in 2004. Her studies will complement ethnographic work to be done at the settlement scale.
