Knowledge co-production: A pathway to effective fisheries management, conservation, and governance

Steven J. Cooke et al.

Summary: Although scientific research is expected to inform management and policy, there is often a gap between scientific knowledge and its application. Knowledge co-production is seen as a mechanism to bridge this gap, but has yet to be fully embraced in fisheries research. Co-production is an iterative and context-dependent process, with best practices that can facilitate the generation of actionable research through respectful and inclusive partnerships.

Conservation lessons from taboos and trolley problems

Mark W. Schwartz

Summary: Despite governments passing conservation laws, adopting policies, and making plans, they often fail to effectively implement them due to the costly sacrifices required, the trade-offs between different values, and the emergence of taboo and tragic conflicts in decision-making processes. Psychology, ethics, and behavioral science play important roles in addressing the challenge of making difficult trade-off decisions in conservation.
