Knowledge co‐production: A pathway to effective fisheries management, conservation, and governance

Abstract: Although it is assumed that the outcomes from scientific research inform management and policy, the so‐called knowledge–action gap (i.e., the disconnect between scientific knowledge and its application) is a recognition that there are many reasons why new knowledge is not always embraced by knowledge users. The concept of knowledge co‐production has gained popularity within the environmental and conservation research communities as a mechanism of bridging the gap between knowledge and action, but has yet to be… Show more

“…Second, knowledge co-production is an innovative, flexible, and reflexive concept, allowing coproducers to (re)discover, (re)evaluate, and (re)negotiate principles and approaches to match the context and intent of their initiatives and partnership coalitions (Mach et al 2020;van Kerkhoff and Lebel 2015). Third, the inclusion of diverse actors increases the potential to produce actionable science and knowledge that will translate to policies and decision-making (Armitage et al 2011;Beier et al 2017;Hill et al 2020a), generating more reliable, representative, and feasible routes to addressing complex challenges, from fisheries management to climate change (Aminpour et al 2021;Beier et al 2017;Bremer and Meisch 2017;Cooke et al 2020). Fourth, its inclusion of diverse knowledge systems allows for epistemologies, or ways of knowing, to be (re)asserted or challenged through attempts to grasp how others view the world, yielding the potential to shift power relations and overcome conflicts between different value positions and worldviews (van der Hel 2016).…”

“…Similarly, collaborative case studies that bridge diverse knowledge systems have surged in the twenty-first century, particularly knowledge co-production projects with and for Indigenous peoples (Alexander et al 2019;David-Chavez and Gavin 2018;Klenk et al 2017;Miller and Wyborn 2020). In response, scholars are building an indispensable catalog of interdisciplinary case studies, conceptual treatments, literature reviews, and coproduction frameworks to condense decades of findings (Albrechts 2012;Beier et al 2016;Bremer and Meisch 2017;Cooke et al 2020;Djenontin and Meadow 2018;Jagannathan et al 2020;Norström et al 2020;Voorberg et al 2014;Wyborn et al 2019). Reviews and syntheses provide collective guidance for drawing from and deploying knowledge co-production principles in theory and practice.…”

“…MEB approaches seek to connect distinct knowledge systems (Alexander et al, 2019), often through parallel lines of Indigenous and Western scientific inquiry (Tengö et al, 2014), but mechanisms and successful examples of this or equivalent approaches in practice, especially in an aquatic or fisheries context, have been few and far between (e.g. Cooke et al, 2020; Laidler, 2006; Mackinson, 2001).…”

“…There are examples of the successful use of multiple modeling approaches to aid in resource management decisions (e.g., SEDAR, 2015SEDAR, , 2020Xiao and Friedrichs, 2014;Kaplan et al, 2019) and the current literature provides guidance on best practices of selecting, calibrating, and validating ecological models for natural resource decision-making (e.g., Schmolke et al, 2010;Link et al, 2012;Rose et al, 2015;Heymans et al, 2016;Fath et al, 2019). There has also been recent momentum on the use of action science to facilitate coproduction of fisheries management strategies (Cooke et al, 2020). Here, we present how using two food web models can provide a broad and robust view of system dynamics, making a considerable step toward co-production.…”
