  abstract = {{H}ealthy and protected coral reefs help island systems in the tropics thrive and survive. {R}eef passages link the open ocean to lagoon and coastal areas in these ecosystems and are home to an exceptionally diverse and abundant marine life, hosting emblematic species and fish spawning aggregations. {T}heir multiple benefits for the islands and their peoples (e.g., for transport, fishing, socio-cultural aspects) remain yet understudied. {D}rawing from qualitative interviews with fishers, scuba divers, and surfers along the coast of {G}rande {T}erre in {N}ew {C}aledonia, this study highlights the multi-faceted importance of these keystone places. {I}t shows that reef passages are locally deemed 'communication zones' between coastal and oceanic spaces and species, and have significant un(der)explored ecological and socio-cultural roles. {U}nderstanding and protecting these ecological and cultural keystone places will strengthen both the reef ecosystems and the people dependent on them.},
