In this episode of People, Places, Planet, host Natalie Triana is joined by ELI Senior Attorneys Jessica Troell and Sofia O’Connor for a \"Freshwater and Marine Tenure 101.” They explain what freshwater and marine tenure are, why they matter, and how they shape the ways communities access, use, and manage water and ocean resources. \nJessica and Sofia break down the systems that govern freshwater and marine tenure, from national laws to customary and Indigenous practices, and explore why secure tenure matters for Indigenous peoples, small-scale fishers, women, and other communities. They discuss how insecure tenure can leave communities vulnerable to competing demands, environmental degradation, and other large-scale activities. \nThe conversation also examines gaps in existing legal frameworks, including fragmented laws, limited recognition of customary and Indigenous rights, and permitting systems that may not work for communities. Finally, Jessica and Sofia explore promising approaches to strengthening freshwater and marine tenure and share examples from ELI’s work around the world.  \nTo learn more about ELI’s work, explore the resources below: \nWhose Water?
