Their deep connection to the environment ensures the sustainable use and protection of resources like the Dungeness crab, highlighting the importance of traditional practices in modern conservation efforts.

Indigenous Knowledge

The Indigenous memories were used as information and to help the marine animals from being extinct

Indigenous people took good care of their marine animals and cared for them. They used everything they had usefully.

What surprised me/how I felt

What surprised me: Yelloweye can grow nearly to a meter and are one of the world’s longest-lived fish species – one caught in Alaska in 2013 was 121 years old
The research that the scientist were doing surprised me and how much effort they put in this
The Indigenous elders care a lot about their land and wildlife

As biodiversity loss and climate change loom large over our planet’s fate, the projects they were working on began to model healthier, less extractive relationships between biologists and the communities in which they work

Dungeness crab is the most important crab species harvested in the country’s western province. They took care of these marine animals because some were really important to them.

Indigenous people (like Mason) fought for its tribal rights, many members of his community seemed to show deference to the Canadian government’s approval

What I learnt/what we can learn

marine animals are really important to the indigenous people
We can learn that age doesn't matter and if you speak up, you can make a difference
memories can also save what you care about most, only if you tell your memories
Indigenous people will do anything to save the species

Some scientist like R.J. Hamiliton wanted to explain the Indigenous knowledge
