Is sustainable development a motor or a constraint for the professionalization of the pearl oyster industry in Tahiti
2016
This article reports the results of a survey of the pearl
oysterindustry in French Polynesia territory. Its purpose is to examine the perceptions of the priorities for the development of this industry towards
sustainable development. These perceptions were apprehended by a survey of pearl
oysterfarmers and other stakeholders of the sector (management authorities, scientists). After describing the methodological protocol of these investigations, it comes to confront the priorities chosen by professionals (i.e. pearl farmers) concerning
sustainable development, with the perceptions of others stakeholders in the sector. Secondly it comes to build a typology of the priorities of pearl farmers concerning
sustainable development. This analysis enables the assessment of the degree of convergence within the sector, which is the base material for defining a shared
action planat the territory scale. This is the first study compiling data of surveys of various professionals and stakeholders of the pearl farming industry in such a large area in French Polynesia.
