Fávllis-presentasjon om Social-Ecological Timelines

10. november holdt Camilla Brattland og Jørn Weines en presentasjonen om sosio-økologiske tidslinjer på konferansen Time series analysis in environmental science and applications to climate change.

Abstract “Social-Ecological Timelines and climate change narratives in Finnmarkfjord fisheries”:
Based  on  research  conducted  through  the  Fávllis  network  for  Sami  fisheries  research,  this paper presents examples of socio-ecological timelines (SET). The concept was developed as a tool  for  analysing  social-ecological  change  at  a  small  spatial  scale.  Experiences  from attempting  to  compare  and  integrate  science  and  local  knowledge  on  fjord  ecosystems  is that there is little overlap between the two, because the data represent different spatial and temporal   scales   and   very   different   methods.   Until   recently,   marine   scientists   have concentrated on large-scale ecological systems such as the Barents Sea, and the research on fjord  ecology  that  started  in  the  1990s  is  limited in  scope  and  cannot  produce  long  time series. The experience-based knowledge of local fishers on the other hand, is limited to their harvesting  space.  Fishers  can  recollect  long-term  trends  and  events  of  ecological  change throughout their fishing  career,  which  brings  a  much  longer time  perspective  on  ecological change in the area. To represent such timelines is challenging, however, and to integrate it with marine science and climate change research even more so. This presentation provides some examples of SET from climate change narratives developed from interviews with fjord fishers in Finnmark, and discusses some of the challenges and advantages to including SET in ecological and climate change research.
