Mr David Totorea

Associate - Research and International Law

David brings focused research capability in international law, fisheries, environmental governance, and economic sovereignty. His fieldwork on the Bina Harbour Fisheries Project - spanning Indigenous Terrain Mapping, Environmental and Social Framework documentation, and Beneficiary Mapping - gives him a rare on-the-ground command of the legal and social foundations that determine whether a project survives.
