How does this compare to Dr. Marino's ethnography where she discusses how the Inupiat have worked with various agencies to come up with a relocation plan and the issues that appear to be obstacles rather than benefits for the Shishmaref population.

Local community faced several difficulties in partnering with state and federal agencies. First difficulty faced by local community was governance engagement requirements which included very different skills such as public speaking, social media usage, community organizing and outreach, drafting legislation, political strategizing, and networking. Fragmented resource management was another difficulty followed by narrow jurisdiction along with lack of ability to adapt rules to real conditions. Choosing partner with states agencies also emerged as a challenge in order to restore local level fisheries governance. Crucial challenges associated with this included community time monopoly, government regulation legitimacy, bureaucratic delays and risk of undermining informal community efforts. In order to enhance community engagement, face to face outreach and felicitation was carried out. Another challenge that came across the local community while partnering with state and federal agencies included balancing public access with community control. To conduct this, a permit was required to carry out sustainable practices.
