how BOEM has applied Traditional Knowledge in decision-making in the North
Slope Borough, Alaska, including applying information from both knowledge
systems to monitor subsistence whaling practices and using Traditional Know
ledge in environmental impact assessment. Applying Traditional Knowledge pr
oduces decisions that are more inclusive, creates mutual understanding, and
enhances respect for Traditional Knowledge and science.\nInstructions for
