By Tim S Gray (auth.), Tim S. Gray (eds.)
The chapters specialize in 3 major subject matters: first, what worth does stakeholder participation deliver to fisheries governance? Its advocates declare that participation improves the standard of decision-making; resolves conflicts; and raises compliance with rules. nevertheless, critics argue that participation is usually pointless, useless, high priced, time-consuming, and beauty. the second one topic is the connection among the participatory mode and the present swap from unmarried species-based fisheries administration to the ecosystem-based procedure (EBA). In what manner does widening the level of public participation give a contribution to the EBA? 3rd is the vexed query of the connection among fishers’ experiential wisdom and fisheries technological know-how: how a long way does fishers’ wisdom enhance our knowing of the marine setting?
The significant message of the ebook is that whereas stakeholder participation is helpful, it includes with it obligations in addition to rights: all stakeholders have a public accountability to behave as stewards for the marine environment.

Example text
In chapter 19, Douglas Wilson and Alyne Delaney also refer to the problem of the scale of the fisheries that are being managed, in a detailed analysis of the production of scientific knowledge for the EU’s CFP. Their aim is to evaluate the way in which stakeholder participation is having an impact on the generation of the formal scientific advice that informs the governance of EU fisheries. Their conclusion is that conventional fisheries science should recognise its limitations; accept the fact that the boundary between objectivity and subjectivity is blurred; and engage in a co-operative exercise with fishers to find “serviceable truths” leading to “more flexible fisheries governance as well as better science”.
This role includes the designation of Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) to protect marine habitats and species; Special Protected Areas (SPAs) to protect seabirds; and Marine Nature Reserves (MNRs) to protect ecosystems, under powers derived from EU Directives. Such designations often entail restrictions on fishing opportunities. In addition, NCAs have an advisory/advocacy role, promoting the THEORISING PARTICIPATORY FISHERIES GOVERNANCE 21 ecosystem-based approach in forums such as RACs, local partnerships, and official reviews of fisheries policy.
There are even examples of fishers as environmental stewards – indeed, for some researchers, the future lies with fishers adopting the mantle of stewards of the sea (EFEP 2004). This leads us to another criticism of environmental stewardship – that it appears to marginalise, or even demonise, the fishing industry: fishers see the environmental movement as a threat. However, if we take the view that the environmental stewards are the general public, then fishers are included in their ranks, along with all other stakeholders.
