| Summary: | Altered ocean conditions caused by climate change are causing shifts in the distribution of marine species. As a result of these biogeographic shifts, coastal Indigenous communities are experiencing significant social, economic, and cultural impacts associated with declines in culturally important species (CIS). There are concerns that this may further exacerbate losses that have occurred due to colonialism. Due to the complexity of the social-ecological systems that have evolved around CIS, it is of vital importance to evaluate the effects on both the social and ecological aspects of the system. This research is the result of a collaborative project with the Haida community of Skidegate which investigates these impacts upon the traditional marine food system and opportunities for building adaptive capacity. A mixed-methods approach was used: 1) analysis of projected relative abundance of CIS within 100 km of Skidegate under two climate scenarios and 2) interviews and a focus group with knowledge holders. ... |
