Abstract

The imperative to include stakeholders and rightsholders in fisheries management over the past 30 years has led to many changes in management regimes around the world, a key one being a move toward collaboration and co-management. This is reflected, for example, in Canada, where the newly revised Fisheries Act (2019, c.14, s.3) incorporates this imperative in part by citing “community knowledge” as a component in decision making for fisheries management. However, the lack of a formal definition makes it unclear what exactly is meant by “community” and when and how community knowledge can play a role in management. To investigate what community contributions to fisheries management can entail, and who these communities might include, we conducted a scoping literature review using the Scopus database to synthesize common outcomes from research on community involvement in fisheries management toward the goals of ecological, social, economic, and institutional sustainability. Enablers and barriers for successful collaborative initiatives were identified, covering conceptual, logistical, and communication-related factors. Key recommendations were compiled from a range of case studies to map a path toward full-spectrum sustainability for fisheries. From these principles and practices, we ultimately identified major considerations for the Canadian context, including the need to (1) clarify the distinction between fishing communities and the fishing industry; (2) strengthen social networks and communication channels to facilitate collective action; (3) track and transparently share successes and failures in collaborative efforts and outcomes; and (4) more explicitly consider community well-being as a fisheries management objective. From our synthesis, there are lessons to be learned for fisheries (social) scientists and managers working to enhance evidence-based fisheries management, whether within Canada or in other collaborative management settings globally.

The post Community knowledge as a cornerstone for fisheries management first appeared on Ecology & Society.

社区知识是渔业管理的基石
在过去 30 年中,将利益相关者和权利拥有者纳入渔业管理的必要性已导致世界 各地的管理制度发生了许多变化,其中一个关键变化是转向合作和共同管理。例如,加拿大新修订的《渔业法》(2019年,c.14,s.3)将 "社区知识 "作为渔业管理决策的一个组成部分,从而在一定程度上体现了这一要求。然而,由于缺乏正式定义,"社区 "的确切含义以及社区知识何时以及如何在管理中发挥作用并不明确。为了调查社区对渔业管理的贡献,以及这些社区可能包括哪些人,我们使用 Scopus 数据库进行了一次范围性文献回顾,以综合社区参与渔业管理的研究的共同成果,从而实现生态、社会、经济和制度的可持续发展目标。我们确定了成功合作倡议的有利因素和障碍,包括概念、后勤和沟通相关因素。我们从一系列案例研究中汇编了关键建议,为渔业的全方位可持续发展绘制了路线图。从这些原则和实践中,我们最终确定了加拿大的主要考虑因素,包括需要:(1)明确渔业社区和渔业之间的区别;(2)加强社会网络和沟通渠道,促进集体行动;(3)跟踪并透明地分享合作努力和成果的成败;以及(4)更明确地将社区福祉作为渔业管理目标。无论是在加拿大还是在全球其他合作管理环境中,渔业(社会)科学家和管理者都可以从我们的综述中吸取经验教训,努力加强基于证据的渔业管理。

期刊介绍: Ecology and Society is an electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the rapid dissemination of current research. Manuscript submission, peer review, and publication are all handled on the Internet. Software developed for the journal automates all clerical steps during peer review, facilitates a double-blind peer review process, and allows authors and editors to follow the progress of peer review on the Internet. As articles are accepted, they are published in an "Issue in Progress." At four month intervals the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue, and subscribers receive the Table of Contents of the issue via email. Our turn-around time (submission to publication) averages around 350 days. We encourage publication of special features. Special features are comprised of a set of manuscripts that address a single theme, and include an introductory and summary manuscript. The individual contributions are published in regular issues, and the special feature manuscripts are linked through a table of contents and announced on the journal''s main page. The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and the life-supporting ecosystems on which human wellbeing ultimately depends.
