“…Dispersed fruits and seeds of the charismatic baobab tree and migratory marine mammals such as whales, who hitch a ride on ocean currents, strengthen interspecies relationships, and more-than-human solidarities (George and Wiebe 2020;Rangan 2019;Stevens and Wanhalla 2019). Although these charismatic species are often accompanied today by curious marine scientists, wildlife scientists, citizen scientists, conservation biologists, as well as satellite tracking devices and acoustic sensors, in the precolonial era, they had different companions.…”

“…Ancestral and migratory whales are "acoustic beings" who whisper and sing as they use echolocation in their long transoceanic journeys to nurseries in warmer waters. These whispers are heard by women shore whalers, Indigenous whalers, Indigenous story holders, and Black artists (Harrison 2023;Russell 2012;Stevens and Wanhalla 2019;Yin Han 2021, 224). Irresponsibility in the form of sonic violence unfolds, however, when the ocean is saturated with anthropogenic sonar blasts, whale carcasses sink to the seafloor and become "whale snow" (Yin Han 2021, 225).…”

Oceans in the colonial Anthropocene are haunted by the brutal racial logics of slavery, indenture, plunder, violence, death, and multispecies extinction. This brutality manifested through uneven burdens of climate extremes, global warming, ocean acidification, sea level rise, pollution, and threats from offshore energy extraction, chokes the “life force” of oceans that sustain planetary belongings and futures. Global agreements on climate change, biodiversity conventions, sustainable goals, and laws of the sea increasingly attempt to transform dystopic planetary futures through openness to Indigenous and local knowledges. But these overlooked Indigenous, Black, Brown, and southern intellectual traditions of belonging and responsibility in settler colonial, postcolonial, and post-apartheid societies have always existed alongside white, western Euro-American ontologies of the ocean. As subaltern southern and Indigenous scholars, our privileging of ontologies of the ocean amid the racial, colonial, and capitalist logics that continues to suffocate people and the planet, seeks to do more than enrich white, western, English-speaking Euro-American institutions. We, therefore, face ethical dilemmas as we assemble and prioritize strands of literature in our decolonial, polyphonic place-based ocean storytelling that seeks to advance new directions in Environmental Geography.
