These practices support ecological health, cultural preservation, and community well-being, often working alongside government and conservation efforts. Overall, it’s a holistic approach that recognizes Indigenous people's deep connection to their land and sea, fostering sustainable futures through respect, knowledge, and responsible stewardship.
