CHOW 2021 offered an opportunity to examine how exclusionary practices and systemic racism negatively impact conservation, science, and policy. And, how anti-oppression and anti-racism work will improve the health and quality of life of people, as well as the sustainability of our ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes and the communities that depend on them.<\/p>\n<p>We are grateful to our generous sponsors, partners, and all our participants.

Representatives from across the country and the world offered traditional blessings and tributes to their lands, communities, and waters that sustain them. The opening plenary soon followed, offering discussion on how to build a just movement for ocean and coastal conversation. Among other key take-aways, panelists highlighted the need for a focus on transfer of power and sharing of resources vs. mere conversation, a need for the uplift of groups already doing JEDI work, and a need for people-focused conservation.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Plenary Sessions- Day One&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Providing for Communities: Food Security and Justice&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1594662530207-522deb16-f4bf&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Providing for Communities: Food Security and Justice\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2gorIxnGvU4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speakers: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ambrose Jearld Jr., PhD, MS.

Yet, as our panelists highlighted, they remain on the periphery of U.S. ocean and climate policy. Speakers noted the myriad ways in which U.S. policy making structures make it challenging or impossible to meaningfully participate in dialogue and voiced a desire to be included. Panelists also noted that funding for local education, climate change resilience projects, community support, and conservation efforts should constitute top priorities going forward. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Resilient Coastal Communities&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1594662530934-ea84e0c9-9f38&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Resilient Coastal Communities\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bOGDiiZGbGE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speakers<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Monica Patrice Barra, Ph.D. (moderator), Victoria Herrmann Ph.D., Sandy Ha Nguyen, Colette Pichon Battle, Esq.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seascapes and coastal landscapes are experiencing rapid change as the climate crisis accelerates, with many communities working to define the future of their health and livelihoods to ensure survival. This inspiring panel highlighted just a few of the individuals striving to protect the quality of life in their communities. They discussed the exclusion of indigenous voices in the design of actionable climate solutions, noting that \u2018resilience\u2019 itself is a colonialist term which obscures the systemically racist and prejudiced structures that have forced these communities to be resilient in the first place.

This panel highlighted the importance of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tangible steps to create connections between indigenous and local knowledge and wisdom and western science and institutions. A few of these included treating knowledge givers as consultants (not volunteers), to eliminate competition for funding between tribal nations by increasing resources available, and emphasizing that scientists ought to be students of transdisciplinary and holistic knowledge, rather than perceiving themselves as the experts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Exploring the Intersection of International Policy and Communities&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1594655868821-a41a2c09-4d59&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Exploring the Intersection of International Policy and Communities\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ynlF97WbgoI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speakers: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nathan J.

Panelists <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">emphasized the importance of recognizing and ensuring strong representation of indigenous people and local communities in international and national policy discussions, that organizations and governments working in the ocean space must account for the voices, rights and needs of indigenous people and local communities in their deliberations, and that financial support ought to be provided local communities to ensure their involvement is possible, among other conclusions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Plenary Sessions &#8211; Day Three&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Opportunities for Federal Policy to Deepen Justice and Equity&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1630422078170-34ad92cd-c2ac&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Opportunities for Federal Policy to Deepen Justice and Equity\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VS8Zyg9AvG4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speakers: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russell F.

Congress is also considering legislation to reauthorize the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act and address climate change and the ocean. This plenary examined federal legislative and executive policies that can move us towards a deeper integration of justice and equity principles.
