Fisheries Policy, Science & Fishermen
Narrow focus of scientific management advice
=> need for eco-system approach
Mapping the un-mapped
Fisheries Management mainly from EC at large scale and focus on biology nearly to the exclusion of social and economic dimensions
=> need for “stakeholder engagement” to increase legitimacy and assess regulatory impact
Participatory GIS
Sophie des Clers 17 June 2008 Mapping for Sustainable Communities

Mapping the un-mapped (1-Fishing)
Local scale activity maps in the Thames estuary
Fishing activities outside Harwich
=> Fishermen communicate
=> Fishermen stake their grounds in the face of increasing development at sea
=> Fishermen demand joined-up policies (transport, industry, environment, fisheries, …)

Mapping the un-mapped (1-Fishing activities) Central Ports Northern Ports Southern Ports Greater Thames Estuary 2000-01

Mapping the un-mapped (1-Fishing)

Map the un-mapped (2-Ecology)
Seasonality and essential fish and shellfish habitats
Climate change effect on marine species (starting)
=> science not ready to respect lay experts?

Mapping the un-mapped (2-Ecology)

Mapping the un-mapped (2-Ecology) Voluntary Marine Biodiversity reporting

Participatory GIS
Greater Thames Estuary: individual maps put together and validated by “focus” group
FisherMap in Finding Sanctuary in SW: cited as an example of “stakeholder participation” - or not really?
Climate change effects on marine species: back to individual maps, similar to National Biodiversity Network reporting, bring on retired fishermen
