This project exists within the greater Living with Water (LWW) initiative which aims to create a regional framework for integrated coastal flood management in Lower Mainland, BC. The purpose of this component of LWW is to provide a base of knowledge that describes values-based approaches to coastal flood adaptation.Lived and landscape values, and adaptation knowledge from Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, and Squamish Nations provide the core foundation for the work. As a researcher, it is my role to engage with and challenge settler adaptation and research ontologies in order to work towards a decolonized research framework that challenges relations of power and path dependency in adaptation policy. The values-based approach will create a foundation of knowledge that supports coastal flood adaptation strategies for the region through identification of community values and how they are spatialized.
