Abstract

This article explores, with particular reference to the Icelandic context, how fishermen's knowledge differs from that of professional biologists and to what extent the former could be brought more systematically into the process of resource management for the purpose of ensuring resilience and sustainability. An important recent attempt at bridging the gap between Icelandic fishermen and marine scientists is the so-called "trawling rally"-a procedure whereby a group of skippers regularly follow the same trawling paths identified by biologists for the purpose of supplying detailed ecological information. The author feels that while the trawling rally is a useful and interesting experiment, it is important to look for alternative ways of engaging fishermen, of using practical knowledge of fishing for the purpose of sustainable resource-use and responsible management.
