Bridging modern aquatic conservation with indigenous knowledge: educational strategies for enhancing marine ecosystem protection

Marine ecosystems should be conserved, as it is long overdue, given the environmental impacts of human activities. Most new trends in marine conservation do not address the issue of protecting marine biodiversity and the unsustainable use of marine resources. The experience and knowledge of indigenous people in utilizing resources, conserving ecological and biodiversity, and protecting ecosystems are incomparable. This paper will demonstrate whether marine conservation strategies have incorporated indigenous knowledge and how the protection of marine ecosystems will be enhanced. This contribution presents an education framework that reveals how a reinforced focus on this approach will help attract community participation, promote the community's overall healthy behaviors, and support the sustainability of conservation objectives. By focusing on the interaction between individual culture and practice and community ecosystem health, the education process can enhance community marine resource management. Communities susceptible to environmental impacts are empowered and build resilience, enabling the development of healthy marine ecosystems. This new input of educational theories into the conservation of marine resources in the community offers the promise of securing the preservation and restoration of the marine ecosystem, so that future generations can enjoy the same benefits.
