Meetings

In September GAP partners attended a conference in the EU Parliament on renovating the CFP to improve communication between Fishermen and Scientists. Some important issues were related to improved data collection involving industry. This implies we are on good track with our GAP2 development. Report under: http://www.gap1.eu/Results/Reports.htm

Proyecto GAP1: Good practice guide to participatory research between fisheries stakeholders and scientists

16/12/08 ,

Nuestro grupo de investigación participa en el proyecto GAP1: Bridging the gap between science and stakeholders liderado por el CEFAS y en el que se integra un consorcio de 16 socios científicos y 15 organizaciones de pescadores. En nuestro caso, además, lideramos uno de los workpackages (Knowledge and perspectives). Este proyecto h sido financiado por el Programa Ciencia y Sociedad del 7º Programa Marco de la Unión Europea:

GAP1 is phase 1 of a three-phase programme that aims to explore the complementary nature of alternative knowledge, investigate how to combine it in ways that will enhance understanding and management of natural resources. It paves the way for stakeholders to become actively involved in the delivery of scientific information.

Together, the stakeholder and scientist participants in GAP1 will initiate cooperative research by making plans to combine knowledge in future participatory research. They will engage through a series of European and regional workshops.

Tied to knowledge, GAP1 is an evidence-based approach that uses participation as the vehicle to improving understanding on fisheries research and management issues of common concern to stakeholders, scientists and policy makers. This is a pre-requisite for fostering the mutual respect essential for successful future collaboration.

El proyecto acaba de publicar sus primeros resultados en forma de una guía de buenas prácticas para la investigación participativa en que se integren pescadores y científicos. Este informe es el resultado de un taller celebrado en Julio en Londres donde los diferentes socios aportamos nuestras experiencias en este tipo de investigación y analizamos sus aspectos metodológicos. Esta es la referencia y el archivo del documnto final para descarga:

Mackinson, S., Neville, S., Raicevich, S., and Worsøe Clausen, L. (eds) 2008. Good practice guide to participatory research between fisheries stakeholders and scientists.  GAP project deliverable 1, 23p. (pdf).

Estam guía aparecerá en breve publicada en papel y se editará también una versión resumida. A lo largo de 2009 se irán publicado otros resultados del proyecto y, entre otros, un portfolio de casos de estudio que estamos compilando dentro del workpackage que coordinamos.
