Coastal areas face a variety of complex challenges, with uncertain and mostly negative consequencesfor Indigenous and non-Indigenous coastal communities. This is especially true for seagrass (Zostera marina, eelgrass) meadows, which provide essential services to communities, have diverse values associated and are exposed to multiple stressors. Because the mechanisms driving eelgrass meadows predictability are still poorly understood, using monitoring data to produce reliable forecasts based on these predictions remains a challenge. To tackle these challenges, conventional science must consider coastal areas as coupled social-ecological systems (SES) where settler, Indigenous values, norms and local ways of knowing interact. The inclusion of different perspectives in ecosystem monitoring is essential to co-design monitoring strategies that can effectively track physical, biogeochemical, and ecological changes through space and time. In addition, weaving diverse ways of knowing into ecosystem monitoring and social dynamics can greatly improve predictions and the sustainable management of marine and coastal SES under climate change. It is also powerful in bridging the gap between the different end-users, rightsholders and stakeholders that make up coastal SES. Our approach aims at weaving multiple ways of knowing to develop holistic monitoring to feed coupled social-ecological forecasting models on eelgrass meadows in New Brunswick and support inclusive sustainable management led by Indigenous and non-Indigenous coastal communities. This seed grant funding will be used to reach the first step of this overall objective: co-designing with partners meaningful and inclusive goals and protocols for later developments and funding applications.

沿海地区面临着各种复杂的挑战，对土著和非土著沿海社区造成了不确定的、大多数是负面的后果。海草（大叶藻、鳗草）草甸尤其如此，它们为社区提供基本服务，具有多种相关价值，并面临多种压力。由于驱动鳗草草地可预测性的机制仍然知之甚少，使用监测数据来产生基于这些预测的可靠预测仍然是一个挑战。为了应对这些挑战，传统科学必须将沿海地区视为耦合的社会生态系统（SES），定居者，土著价值观，规范和当地的认知方式相互作用。 在生态系统监测中纳入不同的视角对于共同设计监测战略至关重要，这些战略可以有效地跟踪空间和时间上的物理、地球化学和生态变化。此外，将不同的认知方式融入生态系统监测和社会动态，可以大大改善气候变化下海洋和沿海SES的预测和可持续管理。它还能有力地弥合构成沿海社会经济地位的不同最终用户、权利持有人和利益攸关方之间的差距。我们的方法旨在编织多种方式来了解发展整体监测饲料耦合社会生态预测模型在新玩法的鳗草草甸，并支持由土著和非土著沿海社区领导的包容性可持续管理。这笔种子赠款资金将用于实现这一总体目标的第一步：与合作伙伴共同设计有意义和包容性的目标和协议，用于以后的发展和资金申请。
