"Cape Cod Fishermen and Scientists Working Together for Sustainable
Fisheries"

In New England and around the world, fishermen and scientists are working
together to keep fisheries sustainable while confronting environmental
change and human impacts. Small-scale fishermen and shellfish farmers are
working with scientists to understand the effects of environmental
variability and reduce the impacts of fishing. These collaborations build
relationships between the fishing and scientific communities, in addition
to providing valuable information for management of sustainable fisheries.
True collaborative research involves inclusion of all parties from the
beginning, from project inception to presentation of results. Owen Nichols
will present some case studies from his native Cape Cod, telling the
stories of how and why such collaborations form and how we all work
together to build mutual trust and understanding while overcoming the
challenges of differing perspectives.

Owen Nichols has been Director of Marine Fisheries Research at the Center
for Coastal Studies since 2008, where he conducts research in collaboration
with Cape Cod fishermen and shellfish farmers.
