“First Nations People have vital information to share with the wider culture, including government, about how to look after our oceans. They have been talking about two-way thinking for generations now, Tim says. By this, he is referring to a desire to share the knowledge they have absorbed from living continuously in the natural world for tens of thousands of years, and for that sharing and respect to be reciprocated.”
Ali Gripper, Saltwater Cure: True stories of the transformative power of the ocean

“Our science, arts and social policies will only benefit if we listen, he says. ‘Aboriginal people have 60,000 years of experience and expertise to deploy and to offer the rest of the culture, and we ignore this at our peril. I know senior scientists in several fields who’ve copped to this in recent years and who say they wished they’d woken up to it decades ago. The future of our oceans – indeed our planet – depends on deeper knowledge married to an ethic of restraint. The science community has come to realise this. Indigenous stewards have always known this.”
