Navigating Our Way reflects the broader insights and diverse voices revolutionizing marine conservation. This volume brings together an array of scholars, practitioners, and experts from multiple fields, creating a network of trans-disciplinary and multi-cultural perspectives to address the complex problems in marine conservation. Larry B. Crowder, a leading voice in the field, has curated contributions on a wide range of topics, including critically endangered species in the Bahamas, Argentinian penguins, and the ecosystems of our coral reefs. The book delves deeply into human relationships with nature, the development of climate-smart solutions, and the governance of collective action. Committed to inclusivity, this volume also includes conversations across the disciplines of natural sciences, social sciences, and governance, incorporating both Western and Indigenous knowledge traditions. This volume is highly relevant to marine conservation scholars, practitioners, managers, and students, and anyone interested in preserving our marine environment.
