Book Fishery Co Management

Download or read book Fishery Co Management written by Robert S. Pomeroy and published by CABI. This book was released on 2005 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, there has been a shift in the governance and management of fisheries to a broaderapproach that recognizes the participation of fishers, local stewardship, and shared decision-making.Through this process, fishers are empowered to become active members of the management team,balancing rights and responsibilities, and working in partnership with government. This approach iscalled co-management.This handbook describes the process of community-based co-management from its beginning, throughimplementation, to turnover to the community. It provides ideas, methods, techniques, activities, checklists,examples, questions and indicators for the planning and implementing of a process of community-basedco-management. It focuses on small-scale fisheries (freshwater, floodplain, estuarine, or marine) indeveloping countries, but is also relevant to small-scale fisheries in developed countries and to themanagement of other coastal resources (such as coral reefs, mangroves, sea grass, and wetlands). Thishandbook will be of significant interest to resource managers, practitioners, academics and students ofsmall-scale fisheries.

Book Structures of Scientific Collaboration

Download or read book Structures of Scientific Collaboration written by Wesley Shrum and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How technology and bureaucracy shape collaborative scientific research projects: an empirical study of multiorganizational collaboration in the physical sciences. Collaboration among organizations is rapidly becoming common in scientific research as globalization and new communication technologies make it possible for researchers from different locations and institutions to work together on common projects. These scientific and technological collaborations are part of a general trend toward more fluid, flexible, and temporary organizational arrangements, but they have received very limited scholarly attention. Structures of Scientific Collaboration is the first study to examine multi-organizational collaboration systematically, drawing on a database of 53 collaborations documented for the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics. By integrating quantitative sociological analyses with detailed case histories, Shrum, Genuth, and Chompalov pioneer a new and truly interdisciplinary method for the study of science and technology. Scientists undertake multi-organizational collaborations because individual institutions often lack sufficient resources--including the latest technology--to achieve a given research objective. The authors find that collaborative research depends on both technology and bureaucracy; scientists claim to abhor bureaucracy, but most collaborations use it constructively to achieve their goals. The book analyzes the structural elements of collaboration (among them formation, size and duration, organization, technological practices, and participant experiences) and the relationships among them. The authors find that trust, though viewed as positive, is not necessarily associated with successful projects; indeed, the formal structures of bureaucracy reduce the need for high levels of trust--and make possible the independence so valued by participating scientists.

Book Collaborative Research in Fisheries

Download or read book Collaborative Research in Fisheries written by Peter Holm and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the ongoing transition of fisheries governance, from top-down command and control towards a more transparent and participatory form. It focuses on the emergence of research practices and advice frameworks that allow co-creation of common knowledge bases for management. Drawing from 8 years of research in GAP, a two-stage 7th framework EU project, the book offers a critical examination of how knowledge practices in fisheries governance are changing. The entry point for this research is a series of practical experiments in the unchartered terrain of collaborative research. To gain insight into the ongoing transition in European fisheries management, GAP initiated and carried out 13 Case Studies in different settings across Europe. In each case study, a team of fishers and marine scientists worked together to identify, plan and implement research projects intended to make a difference. The cases vary. They take on different management issues and shape the collaborations in different ways. The extent to which they succeed in realizing their objectives also differs. They are all contributing important insights into the possibilities of co-creating knowledge for management purposes. The book delves into the individual experiences of each case study as well as the lessons they contribute as a whole. The examination concludes that while research partnerships are not always easy to establish, they are an important step towards better fisheries governance. Without a common knowledge base for fisheries governance, co-created through collaborative research practices, sustainable fisheries will remain out of reach.

Book Integrating Fishermen and Their Knowledge in the Science Policy Process

Download or read book Integrating Fishermen and Their Knowledge in the Science Policy Process written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the boundaries between science and non-science, including different forms of expertise, when citizens with experience-based knowledge (EBK) are included in the science policy process through cooperative research. This study focused on industry-science cooperative research between fishermen and scientists in the Northeastern U.S. Ethnographic research primarily consisted of semi-structured and informal interviews and direct observation of the science-policy process, as well as a review of relevant fisheries science and management documents. Five different types of cooperative research with fishermen were examined in eight case studies: real-time data collection in the Illex squid fishery (chapter 4), the Northeast Regional Cod Tagging Program (chapter 5), gear selectivity/bycatch reduction research in the Loligo squid and whiting fisheries (chapter 6), industry-based surveys in New England and the Mid-Atlantic (chapter 7), and an industry-science advisory panel to improve the federal resource survey (chapter 8). Stakeholder perceptions regarding cooperative research were examined using the social science method discourse analysis (chapter 9). This dissertation concludes that fishermen and their experience-based knowledge are being incorporated at important stages into scientific research through cooperative research. Cooperative research functions as an effective boundary institution. It allows for translation, communication, and mediation across the boundaries of diverse knowledge cultures. Cooperative research makes fishermen's knowledge more relevant or usable in the large-scale fisheries science policy process either by making it fit the requirements of the scientific method or by aggregating it to a scale more compatible with science-based management. This research found that capacity building (such as learning or the sharing of expertise between fishermen and scientists) and boundary-spanners (those individuals who are able to span the boundary between science and non-science) facilitate the effectiveness of cooperative research. In addition, the peer review process is a critical site of boundary management. However, peer review of cooperative research is not dominated entirely by scientists, but instead includes an "extended peer review" process that includes participation by fishermen and other stakeholders.
