| Summary: | No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.European fishing industry stakeholders increasingly engage in collaborations with scientists to improve the knowledge base for fisheries science and management. In this paper, the roles of industry stakeholders in collaborative initiatives to make long-term management plans are investigated. We argue that, in such contexts, fishermen’s associations can fill roles as bridging organisations by connecting actors from different knowledge domains. Two case studies on mixed-actor collaborations to make management plans were re-analysed with focus on the bridging needs that emerged. The first case is the Irish-Danish initiative to generate a knowledge base to support management of a new fishery for boarfish (Capros aper) in the Northeast Atlantic. A management plan presented to the European Commission by the Pelagic Advisory Council was one of several tangible outcomes produced within this science-industry collaboration. The second case is the ... |
