For millennia, the existence of many indigenous peoples across the world has been closely intertwined with the sea, their livelihoods and culture being deeply tied to marine and coastal ecosystems, whether exclusively or partially. Yet, the rights of indigenous peoples depending on marine and coastal ecosystems are threatened throughout the world, including by: land and ocean grabbing; commodification and overexploitation of marine resources; pollution; criminalization of indigenous peoples’ fishing activities; lack of participation in development and conservation initiatives affecting their territories; disregard for their ways of life, traditional knowledge and management practices; and climate change, which adds an additional layer of challenges to indigenous peoples’ lives and livelihoods. These are amounts to a situation in which the food security of many indigenous peoples is jeopardized, and their cultural practices are disrupted. Moreover, some communities are pushed into unsustainable practices when faced with increasing pressure and competition over their territories, and many of them are at risk of further marginalization and exploitation, including becoming victims of exploitive labour practices in the fishing industry, among others.
