Indigenous Relationships and the Ocean: Stories of Connection and Conservation with ONC

Indigenous relationships with the ocean reveal powerful ways of understanding stewardship, culture, and conservation. This episode highlights how Indigenous communities have long held knowledge that connects people with marine ecosystems, guiding sustainable practices and deep respect for biodiversity.

Indigenous relationships are also about resilience, as communities navigate challenges like climate change, resource extraction, and policy that often ignores traditional voices. By listening to these stories, we see how honoring Indigenous knowledge strengthens conservation efforts and creates opportunities for partnerships rooted in respect and reciprocity.

Indigenous relationships remind us that conservation is not just about science; it is about people, stories, and traditions that teach us how to protect the ocean for future generations.
