How does indigenous storytelling communicate best practices for coral reef management on Ulithi Atoll?
Check out our YouTube channel at youtube.com/@onepeopleonereef to watch our latest video mini-series on indigenous marine management in the context of ecological change:
In “Cultural cohesion & ecosystem wellbeing in the face of global social & environmental change”, Magul Rulmal discusses the importance of intergenerational connection & storytelling as the foundation for sharing indigenous knowledge & values with younger generations.
In “Strategies for adaptive coral reef management, focusing on traditional practices”, Nicole Crane highlights the importance of incorporating modern science into the existing cultural & social landscape to ensure indigenous communities can adapt their marine management strategies in the face of ecological change.
In “Invasive & Outbreak Species (eg: Montipora coral)”, Michelle Paddack describes the unique underwater landscape of the coral reefs in Ulithi. Disturbances, like typhoons, present an opportunity for invasive & outbreak species to overtake a reef & decrease the diversity of corals in an ecosystem.
In “Fisheries & impacts of fishing”, Milo Tasopulu compares the impacts of different fishing methods on different fish species & describes how community-supported fishing regulations can lead to recovery of fish populations & ensure long-term food security for the island communities.
