Haenyeo Voices: Merging Tradition and Science to Monitor Reef Changes

The Haenyeo Voices project explores the effects of environmental change on Jeju Island's reefs by combining Haenyeo divers’ Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) with scientific monitoring, using 3D modelling, to assess transformations and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

Professor Niki Alsford and Dr Sojin Lim will draw upon more than four years of ethnographic work with Haenyeo communities to highlight the cultural, ecological, and social dimensions of these changes.
