Mobilising cultural heritage in UK marine fisheries

小规模渔业实践中蕴含着海洋文化遗产：传统生态知识、海洋景观、历史登陆点、传统船只以及与之相关的所有技能和物质文化。在环境、代际和技术变化的基础上，英国脱欧后，渔业部门正在经历转型，这些变化可能会进一步减少渔业的有形和无形遗产。我们如何利用这一文化遗产在渔业管理中推动更大的可持续性，以免为时过晚？目的和目标（该项目将解决的研究问题）该项目将解决的研究问题包括：调查继续存在并与英国渔业社区相关的历史和文化实践和知识，以及不再发生但存在于记忆中的实践，通过相关活动，并体现在历史文物，建筑和景观中。方法还将探索捕鱼行为的证据为什么以及如何随着时间的推移而改变（或保持不变）。在个人和社区层面评估这些做法过去或现在所获得的利益，包括经济、文化、建筑环境和供应方面的利益。探索与渔业社区内持续的传统和/或遗产实践相关的价值观和叙事，以及这些在不同社区之间的差异程度。为了回答这些研究问题，将使用几种互补的方法，包括历史，考古和民族志方法。将采取个案研究的办法，选择2至3个地理和文化上不同的渔业社区进行详细讯问。确切的地点将根据学生的兴趣和旅行能力来确定，但将包括苏格兰和英格兰的地点。

Maritime cultural heritage is embedded in the practice of small-scale fishing: traditional ecological knowledge, maritime landscapes, historic landing places, traditional vessels, and all their associated skills and material culture. The fishing sector is going through transitions post-Brexit on top of environmental, generational and technological changes that are likely to further diminish the tangible and intangible heritage of fishing. How can we use this cultural legacy to drive greater sustainability within fisheries management before it is too late?Aims and objectives (What research questions the project will address) The research questions the project will address include:Investigation of the historical and cultural practices and knowledge that continue to exist and be associated with UK fishing communities, as well as practices that no longer take place, but which exist in memory, through associated activities, and embodied in historic artefacts, buildings and landscapes. Approaches will also explore why and how evidence of fishing practices have changed (or remained the same) over time. Assessment of the benefits that were or are gained from these practices at the individual and community levels, including economic, cultural, built environment and provisioning benefits. Exploration of the values and narratives associated with continuing traditions and/or heritage practices within fishing communities, and to what extent these differ across communities.To answer these research questions, several complementary approaches will be used including historical, archaeological and ethnographical methods. A case study approach will be taken, whereby 2 to 3 geographically and culturally diverse fishing communities will be selected for detailed interrogation. The exact locations will be determined based upon student interest and ability to travel but will include both Scottish and English locations.
