Globally, an increasing recognition of the importance of ecosystem-based management (EBM), Indigenous resource management (IRM), and Indigenous-led research and management is emerging; yet, case studies within scholarly literature illustrating comprehensive application of these theories and philosophies are scarce. We present the collaborative management model for the Heʻeia National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) as a contemporary Indigenous Community and Conserved Area (ICCA) that has synergistically operationalized these principles, as well as one that approaches research as a reciprocal collaboration with the Indigenous people and local community (IPLC) of place. The Heʻeia NERR was designated in 2017 through a process led by IPLC members in Hawaiʻi. This research framework is aimed at informing EBM within social-ecological systems. It, therefore, serves as an example of a program designed to demonstrate and provide practical solutions for adaptive resource management. The framework of the Heʻeia NERR embraces the values, perspectives, and IRM strategies that have been foundational for the people of the Pacific to thrive sustainably in the context of limited resources for millennia. As a program, the Heʻeia NERR aims to build bridges between coexisting worldviews as a means of informing policy in the realms of conservation and sustainability. We do this by weaving together conventional and Indigenous science to collaboratively develop research and collaboratively produce new knowledge. We examine these issues through the lens of holistic ecosystem services that consider both the reciprocal benefits that humans provide to nature as well as the full range of existential benefits that humans gain from nature. Research collaborations between the Heʻeia NERR and its partners (University of Hawaiʻi, state and federal agencies, and Indigenous-led NGOs operating in the community) are grounded in Indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) with applications that will guide a future of enhanced ecosystem services in a changing world.

为适应性合作管理提供信息的合作研究：Heiaia国家河口研究保护区的框架

在全球范围内，人们越来越认识到基于生态系统的管理（EBM），土著资源管理（IRM）以及土著人主导的研究和管理的重要性；然而，学术文献中的案例研究很少能说明这些理论和哲学的综合应用。我们将介绍Heiaia国家河口研究保护区（NERR）的协作管理模型，该模型是现代的土著社区和自然保护区（ICCA）协同实施的这些原则，以及一种将研究作为与土著人民和土著人民互惠合作的方法地方社区（IPLC）。伊拉克国家卫生研究院通过IPLC成员在夏威夷领导的程序，于2017年指定了该病。该研究框架旨在在社会生态系统内告知EBM。它，因此，它用作旨在演示和提供自适应资源管理实用解决方案的程序的示例。He'eia NERR的框架包含了价值观，观点和IRM策略，这些策略是太平洋地区人民在几千年的资源有限的情况下可持续发展的基础。作为一项计划，HeéeiaNERR旨在在共存的世界观之间架起桥梁，以此作为在保护和可持续发展领域内宣传政策的一种手段。为此，我们将传统和土著科学融合在一起，共同开发研究成果并共同产生新知识。我们通过整体生态系统服务的视角来研究这些问题，这些服务既考虑了人类为自然提供的互惠利益，也考虑了人类从自然获得的全部生存利益。Heiaia NERR及其合作伙伴（夏威夷大学，州和联邦机构以及在社区中运作的由土著领导的非政府组织）之间的研究合作以土著和地方知识（ILK）为基础，其应用将指导增强型生态系统服务的未来在瞬息万变的世界中。
