Ames, Ted Putting fishermen's knowledge to work: The Promise and the pitfalls. UNSPECIFIED.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Indigenous fishermen's knowledge often gets dismissed for being subjective, anecdotal, and of little value to today's fisheries and centralized management strategies. Yet, fishermen have spent much of their lives accumulating intimate, fine scale ecological information that is not otherwise available. Pitfalls encountered during efforts to access fishermen-based information during the mapping of historical Gulf of Maine spawning grounds of cod and haddock are reviewed and the strategies developed to overcome them are included. Current and future roles for fishermen's knowledge in managing coastal fisheries are examined. Various ways to integrate the local place-based information of fishermen into current management strategies and potential for introducing a new local management paradigm are explored.
