Description:As climate change reshapes marine ecosystems, the dynamics of fish stocks are undergoing rapid transformation. Understanding these shifts and their multifaceted impacts demands more than just scientific inquiry; it necessitates a fusion of knowledge, collaboration, and action. However, the translation of cutting-edge research on the changing distributions and abundance of fish stocks into actionable strategies remains a daunting challenge. Climate change considerations are a relatively new area for fisheries management in the US, and there is often a gap between the scientific research being produced and the management processes through which it can be applied in practice. To address this gap, this research utilizes a co-productive workshop approach to elucidate and assess the current trajectory from scientific inquiry to management practice in the context of climate-impacted US fisheries. The workshop and subsequent analyses yielded 27 actionable recommendations and two strategic pathways. These pathways were designed to concentrate efforts on two critical fronts: 1) enhancing venues for collaboration between scientists and managers; and 2) establishing a cooperative framework for defining and prioritizing goals for climate-resilient management. Post-hoc analyses grounded these pathways within established frameworks and literature related to implementation science and science-policy connectivity. Tangible examples further exemplify the recommended actions and demonstrate the practical significance of this work for enhancing resilient management of fisheries in the face of climate uncertainty.
