They provide essential ecosystem services, such as regulating the global climate, supplying food, and supporting biodiversity. However, these vital ecosystems are under threat from pollution, overfishing, climate change, and habitat destruction. In this context, the role of indigenous tribes in ocean conservation has gained increasing recognition for their traditional knowledge, sustainable practices, and cultural heritage that emphasize living in harmony with nature. This article explores the crucial role indigenous tribes play in preserving our oceans and why their involvement is essential for effective ocean conservation.
