Drawing on the voices of Pacific peoples and their descriptions of the ocean as territory and a source of identity, we debunk the idea of the ocean as a static or transient place, arguing instead that it is a core element of 'territory', place and belonging. International cultural heritage law offers a pathway for leveraging these narratives into international legal regimes, including the development of international mobility regimes. To the extent that Pacific peoples are set to bear the brunt of the costs of the Anthropocene, and because their relationships with the ocean provides innovative ways of rethinking the design and implementation of international law, it is imperative that their voices are brought to the fore.

To compensate for a lack of research in this area, we also address some of the projected mental health implications resulting from disasters linked to climate change, such as flooding, hurricanes, and cyclones. This broader scope enables the identification of areas where more research into mental health concerns related to climate change in the Pacific is needed. In closing, we provide recommendations for further research into the mental health and well-being of Pacific peoples and suggest ways to develop resilience to the effects of climate change.
