We don't need to give an anthropocentric voice to the ocean. We need to give more power to marginalised ocean-dependent communities that LIVE AS ocean since they exist.

In small island states, conservation is daily vigilance, not spectacle. In the Cook Islands, Birdman George showed how checking traps, guarding harbors and sharing knowledge kept kakerori and Rimatara lorikeets safe. Persistence, not plans, made extinction less likely.

In small island states, conservation has often depended less on formal institutions than on vigilance: watching harbors, checking traps, noticing what does not belong. The work is repetitive,…
