Indigenous peoples and local communities' bio-cultural knowledge at the interface of marine research
2020
Globally,
the governance and management of land and sea resources by Indigenous peoples
and local communities has existed for tens of thousands of years and continues
to exert influence over a quarter of the worlds’ surface today (Garnett et al
2018). Yet the primacy of Western science still overshadows the bio-cultural
knowledges of Indigenous peoples and local communities. To move beyond
exclusions and disenfranchised worldviews, science theory and practice must
begin to embrace, engage, respect and support Indigenous peoples and local
communities’ bio-cultural knowledges. We draw on the marine research sector,
specifically fisheries, to demonstrate where knowledges are providing useful
expertise and call for multidisciplinary approaches to co-productions of
science. (Prepared for Nature Communications review).
