Millions of people worldwide are dependent on biodiverse marine habitats. These important habitats are subject to a variety of stresses and are thus experiencing severe degradation. How should they be managed? What frameworks are most effective in managing their use and in their conservation? This doctoral dissertation research examines the political dynamics of collaborative co-management of natural resources and the intersections of indigenous and other frameworks in driving management strategies. The research tests theories in cultural anthropology to understand how different relationships with the environment are expressed and resolved in dynamic ecological settings. It trains a doctoral dissertation student in theory and methods in scientific cultural anthropology and the work will be disseminated broadly to academic and non-academic audiences. This research pursues three objectives: 1) to compare understandings of human-environment relationality among indigenous and non-indigenous conservationists; 2) to examine how different understandings of relationality are incorporated into co-management policy and practice; and 3) to examine associated political dynamics. It uses ethnographic methods, including semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and social-ecological network analysis. The work develops a new analytical framework for incorporating different worldviews into the analysis of human-environment relationships. The work also contributes to our knowledge of how different perspectives and objectives are prioritized in co-management arrangements, ultimately informing the development of policy that engages local communities in sustainable resource management.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

全世界数百万人依赖生物多样性海洋栖息地。这些重要的栖息地受到各种压力，因此正在经历严重的降解。他们应该如何管理？哪些框架最有效地管理其使用和保护？这项博士学位论文研究研究了自然资源协作共同管理以及在驱动管理策略中的共同协作和其他框架的交集的政治动力。该研究测试文化人类学中的理论，以了解如何在动态生态环境中表达与环境的不同关系。它在科学文化人类学的理论和方法中培训了博士学位论文专业的学生，​​这项工作将广泛地传播给学术和非学术受众。 这项研究追求三个目标：1）比较土著和非土著保护主义者中对人类环境关系的理解； 2）研究如何将对关系的不同理解纳入共同管理政策和实践中； 3）检查相关的政治动态。它使用人种学方法，包括半结构化访谈，参与者观察和社会生态网络分析。这项工作开发了一个新的分析框架，将不同的世界观纳入人类环境关系的分析。这项工作还有助于我们了解如何在共同管理安排中优先考虑不同的观点和目标，最终告知政策的制定，该政策使当地社区参与可持续资源管理。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的，这是值得的。
