An investigation of Indigenous knowledges and nutritional health and wellbeing benefits and values of seafood for supporting Indigenous fisheries development

Aboriginal fishing businesses in the Northern Territory are aiming to improve the livelihoods of community members through providing access to a nutritious, diverse and culturally significant food supply. The relationships between Indigenous health and wellbeing and seafood for Indigenous Australians is not well understood. The proposed research aims to address this knowledge gap and contribute new knowledge to ensure the development of Indigenous fisheries is sensitive to health, nutritional and wellbeing values and meanings of culturally important seafood.
