“…Through Dankel et al (2015); Hackett et al (2008); Holm (2003) and Wilson (2009), it becomes even clearer that Mode 2 research can indeed be characterised with Ziman's acronym PLACE. However, given that ICES has for a long time (if not always) responded to its clients request, and has increasingly done so from the 1950s and 1960s onwards in response to the growing management ambitions of governments (Gezelius et al 2010;ICES website); is the conceptualised shift from Mode 1 to Mode 2 ideals really relevant for fisheries science?…”

The role of science in fisheries management in Europe: from Mode 1 to Mode 2

The transformation of fisheries science in an applied context ('Mode 2') sciences is controversial within the scientific community. To investigate this issue, the conceptual shift from 'traditional academic science' (Mode 1 science) to 'modern post-academic science' (Mode 2 science) is used. The paper uses EU fisheries science with focus on ICES research as illustration for gaining new insights in the consequences and dilemmas of the transformation, in regards to the production of knowledge for policy-making in fisheries management. Hence the main question to be discussed in this paper is: what does the new kind of more applied 'Mode 2 science' mean for reliability, credibility, trustworthiness and quality assurance? This study, therefore, mainly demonstrates what such a transformation may imply to the scientific community and what consequences it might have for the way fisheries science is practised, and perceived in a political context.

“…In the northeast Atlantic Fisheries from 1945 onwards, crises and discontent with the implementation of conservation measures have been identified as key drivers behind demands for reform. However, key obstacles such as the costs of agreement among diverse participants over decisions regarding distribution generally tend to create a default situation of institutional inertia (Gezelius and others 2010). Some governance systems have had more success than others in overcoming inertia.…”

This article investigates recent reforms of the Greenland coastal fisheries in order to contribute to the general lessons on reform and policy networks in the context of a changing Arctic stakeholdership. It analyses participation in fisheries governance decision-making by examining the emergence of discourses and policy networks that come to define the very need for reform. A policy network is identified across state ministries, powerful officials, banks and large scale industry that defined the need for fisheries reform within a ‘grand reform’ discourse. But inertia characterised the actual decision-making process as reform according to this ‘grand reform’ discourse was blocked by a combination of small-scale fishers’ informal networks and the power of the parliamentary majority. After a parliamentary shift in power the new government implemented the ‘grand reform’ gradually whilst new patterns of participation and exclusion emerged. In this process, the identities of the participating participants were reinterpreted to fit the new patterns of influence and participation. The article argues that fishery reform does not necessarily start with the collective recognition of a problem in marine resource use and a power-neutral process of institutional learning. Instead, it argues that fishery reform is likely to be the ‘reform of somebody’ and that this ‘somebody’ is itself a changing identity.

The regional management of fisheries in European Western Waters

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A survey of past and existing management measures applied to different fisheries in European Western Waters is analyzed as a typology of co-management between governments and stakeholders. Faced with increasing constraints on accessing fish stocks, management measures have evolved toward fishing rights individualization, limited access and various other specific measures. Restrictions on access have changed fishermen's behaviour in several significant ways. A comparative analysis, based on qualitative data collected through interviews and focus groups, is developed for fisheries from the following European countries: France, Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom. Past and existing individual harvesting rights in the four countries are reviewed and compared.
