Using local ecological knowledge to identify shark river habitats in Fiji (South Pacific) [PDF]
Local ecological knowledge (LEK) and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) have the potential to improve community-based coastal resource management (CBCRM) by providing information about the presence, behaviour and ecology of species.
