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于生物多样性的海洋生境。这些重要的生境受到各种压力，因此正在经历严重退化。应该如何管理它们？在管理其使用和保护方面，什么框架最有效？本博士论文研究探讨了自然资源的合作共同管理的政治动态，以及土著和其他框架在推动管理战略方面的交叉点。该研究测试了文化人类学的理论，以了解如何在动态生态环境中表达和解决与环境的不同关系。它培训一名博士论文研究生掌握科学文化人类学的理论和方法，并将向学术和非学术受众广泛传播这一著作。 本研究追求三个目标：1）比较原住民和非原住民保育者对人与环境关系的理解; 2）研究如何将不同的关系理解纳入共同管理政策和实践; 3）研究相关的政治动态。它使用民族志方法，包括半结构化访谈，参与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与环境关系的分析。这项工作也有助于我们了解不同的观点和目标是如何在共同管理安排中优先考虑的，最终为制定让当地社区参与可持续资源管理的政策提供信息。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
