“…Nursey-Bray et al (2013) note that researchers and decision-makers need to 'understand how knowledge works in practice… [and] re-construct or transition the notion of "science as knowledge" into "all knowledge types" into policy'. On a localized scale, particularly in developing countries, Hastings et al (2012) suggest that ENGOs can facilitate scientific programs and function as key players in 'bridging disciplines and knowledge systems'. However, fishery scientists generally supported the fishing activities of the vessel and considered the vessel's quota to be conservative .…”

“…Alternatively, Hastings (2011) suggests that ENGOs, as drivers of social licence, act as the 'boundary organizations' that are associated with both the scientific and policy communities, and are ideally situated to close the science-policy gap in issues such as in natural resource management. On a localized scale, particularly in developing countries, Hastings et al (2012) suggest that ENGOs can facilitate scientific programs and function as key players in 'bridging disciplines and knowledge systems'.…”

Contemporary Challenges in Environmental Governance: Technology, governance and the social licence

The process through which societal actors can exert direct influence on the behaviour of organizations has gained increasing attention over the past two decades and is increasingly referred to as 'social licence' or 'social licence to operate'. This paper documents the rise of social licence and analyses the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT), governance and the social licence. We argue that contemporary social licence and the increasingly prominent role societal actors have in private governance has been facilitated by technological innovation in the fields of media and communications, allowing interest groups to have a far greater reach, and direct interaction and engagement with the public, other interest groups and the industries concerned. Now, a larger population can rapidly contest traditional practices regardless of national borders, the issue concerned or the actors involved. The unpredictable, dynamic and subjective nature of social licence has prompted concerns regarding legitimacy of stakeholders, the information they disseminate and outcomes they promote. Subsequently, in an attempt to maintain political and corporate legitimacy, business interests are demanding more adaptable regulatory regimes. These political dynamics are resulting in the proliferation of network style governance that can adapt and cope with changing information, attitudes, values and beliefs. As a result a new era of experimentation and trialling alternative governance regimes has been born.

“…Analysis of interview transcripts resulted in 996 different initial codes, 309 focused codes, and 35 theoretical codes which were then combined into categories, subcategories and knowledge based criteria to develop a PSMS. When combined, these codes allowed sustainability themes to emerge directly from the data, rather than from a "preconceived coding scheme" [60].…”

“…Such other types of knowledge are conceptualized in terms of, for example, experience-based knowledge (Bergh€ ofer et al, 2008), traditional ecological knowledge (Berkes and Turner, 2006), fishermen's ecological knowledge (Holm, 2003), and local (ecological) knowledge (Gerhardinger et al, 2009;Bundy and Davis, 2013;Clarke et al, 2013). Moreover, the diversity and the situated character of this knowledge are expressed in terms of the different knowledge systems that are involved in coastal governance (O'Toole and Coffey, 2013;Gerhardinger et al, 2009;Clarke et al, 2013;Evans, 2010;Hastings et al, 2012). Second, the coastal governance literature proposes a variety of approaches for connecting or integrating these disparate kinds of knowledge.…”
