Oceania Chondrichthyan Society acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands and seas throughout Oceania and the wider Indo-Pacific region in which our society and its members live and work. We pay our respects to the First Nations peoples whose deep and enduring connections to Country, Land, Sea, and Sky Country have guided sustainable practices and protected ecosystems for thousands of years. We honour their custodianship, knowledge systems, and continued leadership in ocean and coastal stewardship. We recognise that lands were never ceded and extend our respect to Elders past and present, and to the next generation of Indigenous leaders in marine sciences.
