Including Indigenous Knowledge in Ocean and Coastal Evidence-Based Decision-Making Webinars

After a short presentation, attendees will be able to ask any questions they may still have about the process. These sessions will contain the same information and they will also be recorded and posted online when available.

The Lenfest Ocean Program is interested in funding projects that elevate Native Americans in sharing their traditions, culture, knowledge, and wisdom to improve evidence-based decision-making for the management, conservation, and restoration of coastal marine species, habitats, and ecosystems. Until recently, Native Americans’ ways of knowing were not considered in planning and management decisions, prompting recent calls to rectify this situation. Thus, the Lenfest Ocean Program is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to support:

  • identification, analysis, and/or communication of Indigenous Knowledge and wisdom (where it is culturally appropriate); and
  • engagement approaches that facilitate the inclusion of this knowledge into ocean and coastal management decisions.
