[SEMCO] Friends of Monomoy Nat'l Wildlife Refuge-Free Event!

[Kristen MacDonald]

Join us for a talk with Owen Nichols Wednesday July 26th! Free and open to
the public.

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.

Cape Cod Fishermen and Scientists
WorkingTogether 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. I will
present some case studies from my 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.
