Marine management relies on scientific knowledge and expertise but is also inherently political, as it deals with aspects of resource access. Both local knowledge of practitioners and stakeholders' world views, values, and perceptions are important, adding to the scientific knowledge base and to understanding the management context. This chapter synthesizes existing literature and reviews on stakeholder participation. We analyze two marine management cases using eight key features of participation. The analyses illustrate that a participatory process can still not be successful if an underpinning participatory philosophy and clear objectives are lacking, participation is delayed and not well institutionalized. Clarity is needed about the participatory philosophy and process objective. The goal can be sharing knowledge or negotiating a decision. The increased need of stakeholder knowledge requires clarity about which of the two is driving the process. Rules of the game, including roles, responsibilities, and mandate need to be clear to all participants from the beginning.

This study shows that European Union (EU) fisheries are likely resilient to climate-driven short-term stresses, but may be negatively impacted by long-term trends in climate change. However, fisheries’ long-term stock resilience can be improved (and therefore be more resilient to increasing changes in climate) by adopting robust and adaptive fisheries management, provided such measures are based on sound scientific advice which includes uncertainty. Such management requires regular updates of biological reference points. Such updates will delineate safe biological limits for exploitation, providing both high long-term yields with reduced risk of stock collapse when affected by short-term stresses, and enhanced compliance with advice to avoid higher than intended fishing mor...

The fact that an observer has to stay on‐board for the duration of the trip results in clustered samples and effectively small sample sizes, whereas the aim is to make inferences regarding several trips from an entire fleet. From this perspective, sampling by fishermen themselves (self‐sampling) is an attractive alternative, because a larger number of trips can be sampled at lower cost. Self‐sampling should not be used too casually, however, as there are often issues of data‐acceptance related to it. This article shows that these issues are not easily dealt with in a statistical manner. Improvements might be made if self‐sampling is understood as a form of cooperative research. Cooperative research has a number of dilemmas and benefits associated with it. This article suggests that if the guidelines for cooperative research are taken into account, the benefits are more likely to materializ...
