10,000 years of Indigenous fisheries informs future Great Barrier Reef

该项目旨在记录数千年来原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民在塑造大堡礁鱼类资源方面的作用。通过对考古动物遗迹的新颖分析，该项目期望产生关于人类行为如何改变海洋系统和改变鱼类群落的新知识。预期的结果包括建立对管理当代鱼类种群至关重要的欧洲前基线数据，以及人类开发动态大堡礁的长期前景。好处包括将土著渔业管理纳入保护议程的框架，以及突出珊瑚礁的深厚人类历史，以支持未来的社会生态复原力。

This project aims to document the role of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in shaping the fish resources of the Great Barrier Reef over millennia. Using novel analyses of archaeological faunal remains, this project expects to generate new knowledge on how people’s actions transformed marine systems and modified fish communities. Expected outcomes include establishing pre-European baseline data essential for managing contemporary fish populations, and a long-term perspective on human exploitation of a dynamic Great Barrier Reef. Benefits include a framework for integrating Indigenous fisheries management into conservation agendas and foregrounding the deep human history of the Reef to support future social-ecological resilience.
