Context
Fishery policy is a
knowledge-intensive policy field in which expertise is often contested. At
the same time, the policy field offers a wide variety of ways to organise
expertise, as well as interesting questions about how to do so. These
include debates over the value of local knowledge (fishermen about their
fisheries), national bias in the presentation of stock assessment and
means to counter this, co-operation between national research centres,
uncertainties in stock assessment, etc.
Specific topics
 | The organisation of the
International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (potentially also
historical) and its advice to EU policy makers. |
| The organisation of expertise for
EU fish quota |
| Local knowledge in fisheries (and
its validation) |
| Research policy of fisheries
research |
| Eco-labels for fish |
| Expertise and marine reserves |
| Conservation of Norwegian coral
reefs |
| Conservation of the Wadden Sea |
| Operation of the Dutch
‘Biesheuvel groepen’ |
Examples of interesting questions
| How is local knowledge taken up
(or not) in fisheries research? |
| How is stock assessment expertise
organised? |
| How are uncertainties in stock
assessments dealt with? |
Suitable for students who…
| have a solid training in Science
and Technology Studies (e.g. PSTS master), especially for questions
related to modelling, uncertainties, local knowledge |
| Students with a background in
policy studies or European Studies with an interest in fisheries, fishery
policy. |
Opportunities
| Quick access to material,
contacts, and previous research on this topic |
