Participatory Research and Co-management in Fisheries

Spain Galicia Case Study

In February 2015, GAP2 hosted an International Symposium on Participatory Research and Co-management in Fisheries in Barcelona, Spain.  The event allowed us to celebrate and reflect on the work of all GAP2 participants and partners over the last four years concerning participatory fisheries research in Europe and abroad.

GAP2’s purpose is to demonstrate the role and value of stakeholder-driven science within the context of fisheries’ governance. Put simply, we bring scientists, fishermen and policy makers together. The three day event comprising of moderated conversations, interactive presentations, workshops and a field trip proved to be extremely successful – with a particularly collaborative atmosphere!
