Project 2 Project on conservation of genetic diversity of fish being used for stocking reservoirs in Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Santa Caterina and for conservation of endangered stocks in the Pantanal and the Uruguay River basin led to protocols still in use today in all of these areas, as well as building fruitful institutional partnerships with academia, industry, and government. Project 3 To improve the artisanal fisheries of the mid-São Francisco – incorporating community organization, multi-stakeholder conflict management and fisheries comanagement, community policing, value-added processing and environmental education. This project had its greatest successes through the window of environmental education and stewardship.

Study area (1) United States: northeast region (2) Brazil: northeast and southeast Main Research Projects Project 1 Title: A Survey of Social Capital and Attitudes toward Management in the New England Groundfish Fishery PI’s: Daniel Holland, Patricia Pinto da Silva Study area: Northeast United States Key themes: collaborative management, social capital, New England Groundfishermen http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/publications/crd/crd1012/ The New England groundfish fishery is undergoing a major transformation with the expansion of the ―sector‖ allocation program. Sector allocations are meant to provide fishermen with greater control, flexibility, and economic efficiency in their fishing businesses, while simultaneously fostering sustainable management through catch limits and improved monitoring. The program gives substantial management responsibilities to groups of fishermen and makes members of sectors jointly liable if the sector exceeds its catch allocation or commits other regulatory violations. These new arrangements represent a significant departure from past management regimens that have not required collaboration between fishermen or joint accountability. The success of any individual sector will likely depend on the attitudes and capabilities of the sector members, the skills and commitment of the sector leaders, and on relationships among the members – including their degree of trust and ability 45 to collaborate. The value of these relationships and the ability to cooperate is commonly referred to as ‗social capital.‘ Social capital can yield benefits that flow from the trust, reciprocity, information, and cooperation associated with social networks (Putnam 2000). In the spring of 2010, a telephone survey was conducted of Northeast Multispecies (groundfish) permit holders. A total of 542 permit holders were interviewed. This total comprised 244 permit holders who had signed up for sectors, 56 active vessel owners who were not planning to participate in the sector program, and 242 permit holders who were not active in the groundfish fishery in 2009. The primary purpose of the survey was to develop a baseline of social capital in the groundfish fishery, both as a whole and then disaggregated by individual sectors and common pool vessels. Permit holders were also asked questions about the current state of the fishery and the current management system to be able to track the socio-economic impacts of the sector allocation system on these individuals over time. A follow-up survey will be performed in approximately two years to evaluate if – and how – social capital has changed, and to assess the role of social capital in the success of sectors and the sector management system. Project 2 Title: Fishing, food systems & sustainability Pi’s: Patricia Clay, Patricia Pinto da Silva & Julia Olson Study area: US & Beyond Key themes: Food systems/sovernity; community supported fisheries; certification programs Consumer social movements directed towards food systems have become increasingly prevalent as a way of merging social and environmental concerns. Such market-based movements encompass a variety of strategies, such as certification programs that certify products based on a variety of criteria, to local and slow food concerns that seek to reconnect communities with food and local businesses. At the same time, emergent scholarly concerns have raised critical questions about how alternative these alternative markets truly are, and about what notions of sustainability inhere in their visions of community and ecology. In this respect it is informative to compare the more recent entry of fishing groups into these consumer social movements, both for the ways they converge with and differ from other agricultural products. Although a concern with the family farm—as well as tendency to equate national security with food and agricultural security—has long connected terrestrial food production with other cultural concerns, fisheries have tended to be regarded more as resources. Dominant constructions in the U.S. have tended to both privilege issues of resource management and to construct resource management as primarily biological. Fishery certification programs have also tended to reproduce the biological emphasis, for most in practice utilize biological criteria in assessing sustainability of a fishery, even if their definition is in theory broader. Not only do certification programs often provide advice that contradicts each other, they usually rate entire stocks, at best singling out particular gears as sustainable. Yet a given fishery may be fished in multiple ways by multiple groups, which raises important policy questions that often crystallize around place-based concerns. Moreover, fish is also food. Movements to both address consumer concerns and to find ways to add value to reduced stocks require building new relations and institutions. This project 46 aslo considers how we can better govern for sustainable food systems, rather than just resources, in fisheries.
