Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Fisheries Management – Current Topics in Fisheries
FISH 506F / ANTH 461 Credits: 3
This course will focus on the role of traditional & local ecological knowledge in environmental assessment processes and in the development of resource management plans. Natural resource management approaches have long been critiqued for highlighting bio-economic features over cultural and social aspects of the human/environmental interface. Practitioners have come a long way over the past several decades and are now open to incorporating local systems of knowledge into management plans. The difficulty is how to do this.
