Abstract
    Coastal Indigenous Peoples around the world continue to rely on marine ecosystems as central components of culture, tradition, food, livelihoods, and self-determination. Their ecological knowledge has been recognized as important to integrate within resource management and environmental conservation strategies, yet there is a need for much broader inclusion and recognition for their world views in national and international policies. For Indigenous Peoples, fisheries and marine ecosystems form a fundamental part of culture and can be used to convey knowledge and traditions beyond the use or management of resources themselves. Many of the challenges faced by coastal Indigenous peoples are shared with non-Indigenous communities that are similarly exposed and vulnerable to multiple pressures from global climate and economic change, and a focus on equitable policies need not only benefit Indigenous communities. Nevertheless, we must recognize that the cultural importance of fishing as a fundamental aspect of self-identity is particularly salient among coastal Indigenous peoples, for whom the practice of fishing can be as important as the catching of fish.
