The oceans have played a vital role in sustaining human communities since the pre-neolithic era (Marean et al., 2007). Currently, global annual consumption of seafood amounts to an impressive 107 million tons a year (Laurenti, 2007). Humans have also used marine biota as a source of weapons, tools, adhesives, tanning materials, pigments, adornment, musical instruments, recreation supplies, storage items, shelter, fuel, and medicines (Narchi, 2011). There are few societies in the Americas in which marine ethnobiological knowledge is as vibrant and self-evident as that displayed by the Seri people of coastal Sonora, Mexico. The Seri are the southernmost nomadic hunter-gatherer and fishing society of North America. Having roamed much of the Midriff Island area of the Sonoran Desert for at least 2000 years, their culture is characterized by a seafaring tradition, an extensive use of marine resources, and an overall reservoir of ethnobiological knowledge not commonly found in hunter-gatherer literature.
