“…Translational ecology (TE) is a field that aims to rapidly address urgent ecological problems via scientist/stakeholder partnerships (Schlesinger 2010). Methods for TE operate at the knowledge–action boundary using process‐oriented tools and techniques, with the goal of increasing collaboration and trust and producing actionable science and robust decision making (Enquist et al 2017; Angeoletto et al 2019; Chen and Jin 2019; Ward et al 2020). In this paper, we examine diverse methods for incorporating TE principles into recreational fisheries research based on selected case studies from South Florida (Figure 1).…”

Recreational fisheries are complex social–ecological systems that are influenced by a variety of increasing stressors. In Florida (USA), recreational fishing is a US$9.2 billion industry and a vital aspect of the state's culture. However, many targeted species remain unregulated and understudied, which hinders identifying population declines or important ecological interactions. The complex nature of recreational fishing means traditional data collection and analysis methods for assessing stock status and trends are not always appropriate or feasible. Recently, fisheries scientists have begun to recognize the value and importance of angler knowledge, behavior, and collaboration, and how angler‐derived data can complement existing biological data and provide new insights. The purpose of this study was to present an overview of three methods for involving anglers in research and provide case studies from South Florida that demonstrate the success of these approaches for assessing and managing recreational fisheries.

“…Today’s environmental workforce will be asked to plan more action‐oriented ecology research that provides solutions to environmental problems causing social injustices (White et al 2015, Ward et al 2020). Should environmental justice scholarship remain “somebody else’s problem” for applied ecologists?…”

Environmental injustice can be expressed through lack of access to resources, unequal exposure to toxins, and limited access to knowledge about the unsustainable environmental practices that impact communities (Bullard 2018). The ecological processes that contribute to the "perfect storm" of conditions that create environmental injustices are well documented in applied ecology scholarship; yet the human dimension or the co-production of research on those impacts seem to fall into the range of "somebody else's problem." In a literature review of the last 15 years of research published in the Ecological Society of America's family of journals, we explored the intersections of environmental processes and social justice issues, searching for themes, gaps, and opportunities. The resultant is a collection of articles on environmental justice topics that includes issues on access to resources and unequal exposure to environmental hazards and pollutants. This collection highlights gaps in the integration of natural science with social justice topics along with the need for stronger integration of interdisciplinary knowledge that is co-produced with community stakeholders and researchers to build a robust interdisciplinary field of climate justice and global environmental sustainability.
