BUILDING COLLABORATIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE IN ATLANTIC CANADA'S LOBSTER FISHERIES (WP5)

International research has identified social and economic factors as crucial in developing scientific understandings about the relationship between humans and the environment in contexts where the distribution of fish changes due to climate and ocean changes. FOCI’s Work Package on ‘Building Collaborative Interdisciplinary Research Infrastructure in Atlantic Canada’s Lobster Fisheries’, led by Dr. Paul Foley, uses the co-construction research model initiated in the Canadian Fisheries Research Network to develop and test social science methodologies to build capacity for industry-led collaborative research infrastructure in Atlantic Canadian lobster fisheries. This work will gather and integrate new biological data on lobster with new data on social and economic performance of the fishery into a full spectrum sustainability framework that can be used to inform adaptive decision-making in support of harvester, coastal community, and regional resilience in the face of rapid climate and ecosystem change.
