Stakeholder Involvement in Fisheries Science: New Approaches and New Partnerships

Thursday, August 23, 2012: 10:15 AM-12:00 PM
Meeting Room 2,3 (RiverCentre)
Stakeholder involvement in fisheries issues is increasing and cuts across traditional boundaries between scientists and citizens. These partnerships now support novel outreach programs, stakeholder involvement in management decisions, and even citizen scientists collecting research or monitoring data. This approach is being revolutionized by changes in electronic communication. This symposium will illustrate what can be achieved by showcasing outcomes from a broad range of partnerships , with emphasis on identifying attributes and processes that made them successful.
