  My MA research focuses on the coastal historical ecology and zooarchaeology of shellfish in Barkley Sound, BC, Indigenous governance, and marine resource management. I am looking at presumed to be rare shellfish taxa on the Northwest Coast, including gooseneck barnacles, turban snails, chitons, cockles, limpets, sea urchins, and abalone. I am interested in how these shellfish are represented in archaeological samples and ethnographic reports, specifically how the conventional collection and analysis methods may not be catching the whole picture. Additionally, I am interested in how the legal environment regarding Indigenous marine resource management and harvesting relates to shellfish. Show less
