“…For meaningful JKP that involves knowledge transformation (Carlile 2004), stakeholders should be able to leave their "knowledge comfort zone" and willing to consider tradeoffs. Therefore, as it is part of a political process, knowledge co-production comes at a cost (Stange, van Tatenhove, and van Leeuwen 2015).…”

Kolguev Island in the Russian Arctic has a unique tundra ecosystem and an indigenous Nenets population whose livelihood is traditionally based on reindeer herding. The Nenets faced a major crisis in 2013-2014 when the reindeer population collapsed. Widely different explanations for this collapse were put forward. This lack of a shared perspective points at the failure of genuine joint knowledge production (JKP) in the island's UNEP-GEF's ECORA project (2004-2009). The ECORA project aimed to achieve integrated ecosystem management by stimulating dialog and mutual learning among indigenous people, state agencies, and scientists. This paper analyses the failure of ECORA's JKP, using a recently developed framework of conditions for successful JKP. The results suggest that ECORA met none of these conditions. It failed at bringing the scientific and indigenous knowledge systems together, and the produced knowledge did not resonate with indigenous people's perception of living in Kolguev.

“…Trends towards RBM like arrangements are observed in Europe as stakeholder organizations increasingly get involved in management (Hegland & Wilson, ; Holmes et al., ; Stange et al., ). Deploying RBM ideas, the 2014 CFP reform aspires to reduce micro‐management and move towards regionalized management, enabling regulations to be adapted to specific areas.…”

“…Fourth, resource user organizations need to foster leadership and develop the organizational capacity, know‐how and the mechanisms for conflict resolution required to take on responsibility for management functions. These abilities are typically developed over long time spans, although recent experience with the Advisory Councils in Europe have helped (Hegland & Wilson, ; Stange, van Tatenhove, & van Leeuwen, ).…”

A framework for results‐based management in fisheries

et al. 2017

We present a framework for results‐based management (RBM) of commercial fisheries. The core idea of RBM is to reduce micromanagement by delegating management responsibility to resource users. The RBM framework represents an industrial organization approach to co‐management and comprises three defining processes, conducted by three independent “agents”: (i) an “authority” defines specific and measurable and achievable objectives (outcome targets, OTs) for the utilization of fisheries resources, (ii) resource user organizations (termed “operators”) take responsibility for achieving these OTs and provide documentation that (iii) allows independent “auditors” to evaluate the achievement of OTs. Using incentive mechanisms, notably deregulation, RBM grants operators the flexibility to develop and implement innovative and cost‐effective ways to achieve OTs. The feasibility of implementing RBM in five European fisheries was investigated in cooperation with relevant stakeholders through artificial planning processes and computer simulations. The operators involved were enthusiastic, and new management plans were drafted based on the framework. These included socioeconomic OTs in addition to traditional stock objectives, encompassing an ecosystem approach. Several issues are in need of further research to consolidate the approach and prepare the ground for practical implementation, including: the specification of the legal and regulatory framework required to underpin RBM, details of transitional arrangements when shifting towards RBM (including cost‐sharing) and the development of necessary organizational capacity for operators. Initially, we therefore envisage the framework being applied to high‐value single‐species fisheries, with a limited number of participants, which are adequately represented by a competent organization.

“…The challenges encountered when trying to reach consensus on management measures for the Farne Deeps functional unit clarified how far such a constellation of actors as the Farne Deeps sub-group, the Nephrops Focus Group, and ultimately the NSAC, could take a collaborative mixed-actor knowledge production process before encountering politically sensitive issues and handing it over to managers for further work and decision-making (Stange et al 2015).…”

Boundary spaces, objects and activities in mixed-actor knowledge production: making fishery management plans in collaboration

This paper investigates knowledge production in collaborations where the actors have different knowledge and interests. Building on boundary object theory, a conceptual framework is developed to analyse knowledge exchange in two stakeholder-led collaborations to make fishery management plans. The framework introduces boundary spaces to conceptualise the dynamic interaction between objects and activities. Within boundary spaces, actors can share, transfer and translate their knowledge, and common understanding can emerge. The collaborations analysed aimed to produce management plans for the Nephrops (Nephrops norvegicus) fishery in the North Sea and the boarfish (Capros aper) fishery in the Northeast Atlantic. Several boundary spaces were identified in each collaboration. During the production phase, the emerging management plans took on multiple representations as boundary objects that facilitated knowledge exchange. Activities were essential, as these created entry points for different actors to become part of the boundary spaces where they could contribute to knowledge production. Fishing industry representatives in the North Sea Advisory Council and the Pelagic Advisory Council played key roles in initiating and coordinating activities. The case studies demonstrate that Advisory Councils take on pro-active roles in initiatives that aim to expand the knowledge base for European fisheries management. Direct engagement was instrumental to create ownership of the problem addressed in the various collaborative settings that emerged during the management plan initiatives.
