  abstract = {{R}esource management and conservation require the definition of planning units ({PU}s), i.e., the spatial domain where management decisions are applied. {PU}s are either pre-established in size and shape following management constraints or are data driven({DDPU}s) by overlay of multidisciplinary data layers. {T}he trade-offs between these two approaches have not been investigated previously for small tropical islands and their characteristics. {H}ere, we use resource density, fishing pressure and susceptibility to mortality for a giant clam fishery in a small {F}rench {P}olynesia atoll to discuss the suitability and impact of the two approaches in conservation management. {A}ggregation to pre-established {PU} grids highly affected data even for {PU} as small as 2500 m(2), with higher loss of spatial information for density and fishing effort. {B}y contrast, {DDPU} rendered well small scale patterns of interest but reduced redundancy. {O}ur results stress the importance of considering the initial patterns of data in the definition of planning units, and we suggest a 3 steps process to identify adequate trade-offs between {PU} size, {PU} redundancy and data loss to properly draw practical recommendations for small islands.},
