Abstract

This is a case study involving tensions between two aspects of the Triple Bottom Line environmental and human (social) impacts. It concerns an indigenous Fijian community, rather than a business organization, but the author believes the issues involved to be relevant for anyone concerned with the appropriate evaluation and use of information on ecological events‘, especially in a traditional-cultural context in which there is no apparent opportunity for a win-win solution between environmental and social interests.
