Globally, capital investments are intensifying extraction and contestation over resources in frontier spaces, yet most discussion has focused on terrestrial frontiers. This paper shifts this focus to bring a scaled political ecology approach to examine the access dynamics of fisheries trade in the maritime frontier of Palawan province, the Philippines. We adapt the linked concepts of access and exclusion to highlight how access dynamics unfold at multiple scales. At the local scale, social relations of class and ethnicity serve as important markers of difference that inform control over access to fisheries resources. At the regional scale, we show how engagement in fisheries trade is also shaped by broader historical and geographical contexts of migration and land use change. Access dynamics unfold at multiple inter‐related scales to heavily influence the differentiated social outcomes of expanded fisheries trade.

菲律宾巴拉望省海洋边境的渔业准入

在全球范围内，资本投资加剧了对边界空间资源的开采和竞争，但是大多数讨论都集中在地面边界上。本文转移了这一重点，以提出一种规模化的政治生态学方法来研究菲律宾巴拉望省海洋边境地区渔业贸易的准入动态。我们采用访问和排除的链接概念来突出显示访问动态如何在多个尺度上展开。在地方范围内，阶级和种族的社会关系是差异的重要标志，它标志着对渔业资源获取的控制。在区域范围内，我们展示了移民和土地利用变化的更广泛的历史和地理环境也如何影响了渔业贸易的参与。
