This book investigates the ways in which human reconnection with the ocean and coast is a desire and bid for a reconnection with human sensory experience on Earth. In seeking to examine the sensory, temporal and spiritual human experience of the ocean and coast, as well as the cultural dimensions of those experiences, it seeks to offer deep insight into what it really means to ‘rehumanize’ ocean and heritage management in Africa, and by extension, the world. The author proposes that rehumanization involves deepening emerging concepts of human-nature interaction; perceiving nature as consisting not only of potentially sentient entities and qualities, but considering that these have their own, not yet fully discernible logics and processes. This book also suggests that the interaction between humans and nature – specifically the ocean – be considered as a locus for a radical decolonization of identity in Africa, since it involves consideration of African connection with the ocean, not via the violent processes of slavery and colonization but via processes of adaptation and co-resilience with nature.

Voices from the Sea examines the relationship between human rights and ocean heritage through a wide range of scholarly, professional and community perspectives. It considers underwater cultural heritage, maritime knowledge, navigation traditions, cultural identity, environmental change and the rights of island and coastal communities. The volume argues that ocean heritage cannot be separated from questions of power, sovereignty and justice. Shipwrecks, sacred seascapes, ancestral routes, fishing grounds and maritime practices are not simply objects or traditions to be preserved. They remain part of living cultural worlds and are closely tied to memory, belonging, political claims and the right of communities to determine their own futures. Particular attention is given to voices that are often marginalised in international heritage law and policy, even though these communities are among those most affected by climate change, militarisation, displacement and environmental degradation. The book also addresses the place of underwater cultural heritage within global debates on identity, responsibility and the governance of the oceans. The contributors offer a broader understanding of ocean heritage, one that recognises the rights, knowledge and histories of the people most closely connected to the sea.
