Beyond Borders and States: Modelling Ocean Connectivity According to Indigenous Cosmovisions

The article describes some common features of Indigenous sea cosmovisions (through examples from Oceania and the Arctic region), from which an understanding of ocean governance rooted in the interconnectedness of all life and the importance of protecting water and people emerges. Hence, the model of...
