Traditional Knowledge BOEM Alaska Region advocates for obtaining, using and inclusion of ‘Traditional Knowledge’ across all of our research and studies projects, programs and activities. Not only does it make sense, but it is critical to our missions. In more than 40 years and over 400 research projects and studies, scientists continue to affirm the significant impact and value of the input, insight and contributions provided by the Elders and the people. http://www.boem.gov/uploadedFiles/BOEM/Newsroom/Publications_Library/Ocean_Science/OS_12_apr_may_jun.pdf
