GENERAL DESCRIPTION
<p style=<"font-size:95%">Stakeholder involvement is perceived as an important development in the
European Common Fisheries Policy. But how can uncertain fisheries
science be linked with good governance processes, thereby increasing
fisheries management legitimacy and effectiveness? Reducing the
uncertainties around scientific models has long been perceived as the cure
of the fisheries management problem. There is however increasing
recognition that uncertainty in the numbers will remain. A lack of
transparency with respect to these uncertainties can damage the credibility
of science. The EU Commission’s proposal for a reformed Common
Fisheries Policy calls for more self-management for the fishing industry by
increasing fishers’ involvement in the planning and execution of policies
and boosting the role of fishers’ organisations. One way of higher
transparency and improved participation is to include stakeholders in the
modelling process itself.
The project Judgement And Knowledge in Fisheries Involving Stakeholders
(JAKFISH) was a three-year project consisting of 10 partners from the EU
and Norway. It is a distinctive project in that it provides an integrated
approach to stakeholder involvement into fisheries management. It aimed
to examine and develop the institutions, practices and tools that allow
complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity to be dealt with effectively within
participatory decision-making processes; to examine how scientific
information is used and what types of roles scientists play in the
formulation of policies; to study how the current scientific processes take
into account the multiobjective nature of fisheries management; and to
synthesise the obtained views, redefining the institutional role of science to
improve overall governance in the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).
The synthesis of the project is captured in two main synthesis documents:
1. Analyses of the lessons from participatory modelling studies
2. Policy brief on institutions, practices and tools to address complexity,
uncertainty and ambiguity in participatory fisheries management.
