Natural resource governance is inherently complex owing to the socio-ecological systems in which it embedded. Working arrangements have been fundamentally transformed throughout COVID-19 pandemic with potential negative impacts on trust-based social networks foundational management and transboundary governance. To inform development of a post-pandemic new-normal management, we examined trust relationships using Laurentian Great Lakes North America as case study. 82.9% (n = 97/117) fishery...
Abstract The management and conservation of fisheries aquatic resources are inherently applied activities. Therefore, when knowledge generated from research monitoring, or that is held by practitioners other actors (e.g., Indigenous elders, fishers), fails to inform those decisions, the persistent gap between action reinforced (i.e., knowledge–action gap). In healthcare realm, there has been immense growth in implementation science over past decade so with a goal understanding bridging...
Abstract Research results are often not easily accessible or readily digestible for decision-making by natural resource managers. This knowledge-action gap is due to various factors including the time lag between new knowledge generation and its transfer, lack of formal management structures, institutional inertia uptake. Herein, we reflect on Great Lakes Fishery Commission’s Science Transfer Program evolution from ‘Mode 1’ (i.e., scientists conduct research autonomously) toward 2’...
