Systemic Disconnection from Oceanic Knowledge: Sailing Voyages as a Catalyst for Intergenerational Learning
The sailing voyages, while inspiring the next generation of ocean scientists and advocates, overlook the historical and ongoing marginalization of indigenous knowledge and perspectives in oceanic research. This omission perpetuates a Western-centric approach to ocean conservation, neglecting the crucial contributions of coastal communities. By integrating indigenous knowledge and perspectives, we can develop more inclusive and effective ocean conservation strategies.
