Description:

The past decade has seen a significant investment in collaborative fisheries research, within the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank ecosystems, to increase data collection and to improve relationships amongst and between marine fisheries stakeholders. Since 2000, more than 250 research projects have been funded, partnering more than a thousand stakeholders. While many agree that industry-science collaboration has been beneficial, the extent to which collaboration has impacted regional fishery stakeholders intellectually, socially, economically and in management policy has not been documented. To that end, New Hampshire Sea Grant and the Northeast Consortium have partnered to facilitate the Collaborative Research Visioning Project. This project looks back at the collaborative research in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank and allows the individual coastal communities that surround it to give their input on how the investment in collaborative research has impacted fisheries research and management capacity, economic opportunities for fishermen, and communication within the region. The clear message throughout is that the impact of collaborative research has been great and a future loss of research opportunities would be significant. An increase in the ability to conduct research was a frequently cited impact. Collaboration has improved relationships, trust and communication between science and industry and between fisheries and fleet sectors. In addition to the social impacts, economic benefits included enhanced gear efficiency, new fishery opportunities, and help to sustain fishing operations. Most participants felt that a loss of funding in the future would significantly limit research capacity and the capability for science and management to address local, emerging or regulatory priorities. Less funding would result in fewer science and industry members participating, the outcome of which may be fewer opportunities for stakeholders to work together, build trust and network.
