 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The project will investigate how different actors in the marine sector, including fisheries, make use of scientific knowledge, how the roles that scientists play help formulate policies and how governance approaches can be developed which enable policy decisions to address uncertainty and complexity based on research and with the participation of stakeholders. The project will collect and build on experiences from a diverse range of EU policy areas which address interactions between human activities and nature. The main objectives of the proposal are to examine and develop the institutions, practices and tools that allow complexity and uncertainty to be dealt with effectively within participatory decision making processes. The proposal will develop these institutions, practices and tools in respect to European marine management with a particular focus on fish harvesting and marine spatial plannin via two linked strategies. Where Strategy One is to develop tools to facilitate participatory decision making processes based on recently developed bio-economic modeling techniques. While Strategy Two carries out a sociological analysis of the practices and institutional forms that can most effectively involve the wider community in debates over developing science-based policies.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

A drive to involve all stakeholders in improving how fisheries are managed and for reconciling differences between sectors could represent the key to sustainable fisheries.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Fisheries represent an increasingly important food source for Europe and the world, but their management is often beset by environmental concerns, a lack of transparency and a host of uncertainties. The EU-funded project 'Judgement and knowledge in fisheries including stakeholders' (JAKFISH) aimed to involve all stakeholders in managing fisheries in order to improve the management of this valuable food source. The project looked at practices, tools and available literature on the topic to develop its novel approach.

Armed with a wealth of background information, the project team conducted four case studies and invited different stakeholders to address the challenge of managing the fisheries. It revealed how participatory modelling could facilitate discussions between scientists and stakeholders, increase learning and enhance legitimacy, as well as foster a common set of values, interests and opinions. Another objective involved clarifying the impact and roles of institutions and social networks in managing fisheries.

In more detail, the project examined how participatory modelling helps in natural resource management. Its members designed a fisheries management simulation game to further its aims and reconcile stakeholder needs. Case studies examined within the modelling mechanism included development of harvest control rules for western Baltic herring and Mediterranean swordfish. Another case study involving the Nephrops or Norway lobster in the North Sea looked at communication dynamics among stakeholders and whether they were able to overcome their differences.

Moreover, the project team investigated how scientists interact with decision makers and stakeholders in dealing with complexity and uncertainty. Through these efforts, JAKFISH furthered knowledge on managing data-poor stocks and fisheries that generate bycatches of other species, as well as stocks that mix and migrate over different areas.

The project assessed different models of cooperation among stakeholders in order to advance long-term management plans for stocks that are shared over many countries with different interests. These observations and modelling insights will help bridge gaps among stakeholders such as fishermen, consumers and policymakers, contributing to more sustainable management of Europe's fisheries.
