Indigenous Knowledge and Use of Ocean Currents in the Bering Strait Region

In this webinar, Julie Raymond-Yakoubian of Kawerak, Inc. will present a recently completed project on indigenous knowledge and use of ocean currents. She will share perspectives on the importance of traditional understandings of ocean currents as a critical aspect of the body of knowledge held by communities in the region, how this knowledge was collected, and the modern-day practical applications of this knowledge for marine policy, planning, and safety considerations. Examples of where this knowledge is currently being used will also be presented.

Webinar co-sponsored by the NOAA National Marine Protected Areas Center, the EBM Tools Network, OpenChannels.org, and MPA News. Please visit the link above to register for the webinar.
