and dominant understandings of

and new materialist theory, marine
and auto-ethnographic research,
and novel tool testing practice.
This work presents a process of
place-based learning and narrative
generation. Demonstrating the
potential power of worlding
and mythology to engender new/old
understandings and generate
empathy between human actants
