Marine conservation from a First Nations' perspective : a case study of the principles of the Hul'qumi'num of Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Evidence for the decline of marine biodiversity is being noted worldwide (Pauly and Watson, 2003). Indigenous peoples around the world have a key role to play in marine conservation efforts. With the collapse of many fisheries stocks, including stocks in the Georgia Strait of British Columbia, Canad...
