This book explores the knowledge, work and life of Pacific coastal
populations from the Pacific Northwest to Panama. Center stage in
this volume is the knowledge people acquire on coastal and marine
ecosystems. Material and aesthetic benefits from interacting with
the environment contribute to the ongoing building of coastal
cultures. The contributors are particularly interested in how local
knowledge -either recently generated or transmitted along
generations- interfaces with science, conservation, policy and
artistic expression. Their observations exhibit a wide array of
outcomes ranging from resource and human exploitation to the
magnification of cultural resilience and coastal heritage. The
interdisciplinary nature of ethnobiology allows the chapter authors
to have a broad range of freedom when examining their subject
matter. They build a multifaceted understanding of coastal heritage
through the different lenses offered by the humanities, social
sciences, oceanography, fisheries and conservation science and, not
surprisingly, the arts. Coastal Heritage and Cultural Resilience
establishes an intimate bond between coastal communities and the
audience in a time when resilience of coastal life needs to be
celebrated and fortified.
