12 The superimposition of different authorities A new-caledonian peculiarity This example deserves a little attention the State the New Caledonian government the three Provinces Customary law the Customary Senate that enacts rules that can substitute for law the communes 12
13 New Caledonia Superimposition of different authorities (environmental and economic development competences ) French gouvernment Government of New Caledonia Search and Rescue Region (SRR) Exclusive economic zone EEZ (188 nautical miles) Territorial waters (12 nautical miles) Reef Inland waters Coastal strip (300 m) ZPG : area of "50 geometric steps", 81 m (or 40 m) from the upper limit of the shoreline Earth Provinces Customary law Municipalities Lagoon Ground Subsoil 13
14.. therefore, the direction of maritime affairs of New Caledonia had to make the following diagram to explain to the different carriers of projects the distribution of the competences between the different authorities (environmental and economic development competences ) 14
15 New Caledonia Successful planning process with the creation of a Marine Protected Area "Coral Sea Nature Park" on a large marine area, including the entire EEZ (without the Grande Terre lagoon) with a 2018-2022 management plan approved on 19 March 2018 in a "" governance (New Caledonian government and Provinces), outside the European Union. inland and territorial waters managed by the Provinces, municipalities (South, North and Loyalty Islands) Pacific ocean (New Caledonian basin) Protected marine area [ 2018 ] In the entire EEZ "Parc Naturel de la mer de Corail" managed by the Government of New Caledonia (Lagoon not included) Lagoon / unoccupied territory Lagoon / inhabited territory 15

23 How does this reading grid work?

25 French overseas territories : How did they integrate aquaculture into planning? Now let's take a look at the four examples, to see how different, or authorities have integrated aquaculture into the planning of the marine and coastal area 25

And a major development project. a marine fish farming industry on Hao Atoll and its surroundings,...; all these projects must be integrated in a master plan for aquaculture (which is being developed) throughout Polynesia Diazabakana, A., Binet, T., Rochette, 11 September J. 2016. 2018 Etude / d optimisation Gran Canaria d une aire marine gérée DML à l échelle / French de Ministry la ZEE polynésienne. for an Ecological Recommandations Solidary et orientations.

37 French Polynesia : Social the project of installing a gigantic fish farm on an island of a very large archipelago : - where it is, in fact, the power of the island that finally decides to host this gigantic project, - within a very large EEZ that and authorities can only plan within the framework of a very large "managed marine area" project. Level of governance Equitable The objectives pursued by decision-makers are, in this case, essentially economic Level of governance Livable and social Sustainable Viable Economic Ecological 37
