Indigenous Fisheries Science

渔业为世界各地的人们提供粮食系统、生计和经济、健康和福祉、文化和身份认同等方面的支持。随着全球气候变化和其他环境压力扰乱渔业，其后果可能是深远的。作为加拿大土著渔业科学研究主席，Nisga‘a Nation的Andrea Reid博士正在转向土著渔业方法，以寻找可持续的渔业解决方案。她正在建立一种包容和公平的科学方法，这种方法尊重、互惠、相关，并对她研究的渔业系统中涉及的所有人负责。里德和她的研究团队与土著社区合作伙伴一起，遵循Etuaptmumk(双眼看到)的Mi‘kmaw概念，将西方和土著科学和工具结合在一起，造福于所有人。以太平洋鲑鱼等具有重要文化意义的鱼类为重点，他们正在进行真实世界的渔业实验，并使用概率建模工具来综合关于土著渔业状况和未来的数据和知识。他们还将Etuaptmumk引入加拿大东海岸和西海岸以渔业为基础的冲突，创造出改变未来保护冲突的工具。最终，里德博士的研究将为加拿大及其他地区渔业可持续性和公平性的长期愿景提供依据。

Fisheries support food systems, livelihoods and economies, health and well-being, culture and identity, and much more, for people all around the world. As global climate change and other environmental stressors disrupt fisheries, the consequences can be far reaching. As Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Fisheries Science, Dr. Andrea Reid of the Nisga'a Nation is turning to Indigenous fisheries approaches to find sustainable fishing solutions. She is building an inclusive and equitable approach to science that is respectful, reciprocal, relevant, and responsible to all involved in the fishing systems she studies.Dr. Reid and her research team along with Indigenous community partners are guided by the Mi'kmaw concept of Etuaptmumk (Two-Eyed Seeing), bringing together Western and Indigenous sciences and tools for the benefit of all. With a focus on culturally-significant fish, such as Pacific salmon, they are running real-world fisheries experiments and using probabilistic modelling tools to synthesize data and knowledge on the state and future of Indigenous fisheries. They are also bringing Etuaptmumk to bear on fisheries-based conflicts on Canada's East and West Coasts, creating tools to transform conservation conflict in the future. Ultimately, Dr. Reid's research will inform a long-term vision for fisheries sustainability and equitability in Canada and beyond.
