PROJECT HIGHLIGHT:

This project will combine methods of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge and Western-biased Science to understand how two non-native seaweeds may be impacting the native ecosystem and will engage in community conversations regarding food sovereignty as well as subsistence and it’s use in ecological management.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

Biodiversity conservation of our planet’s unique ecosystems necessitates a diversity of

PROJECT HIGHLIGHT:
