“Fishermen and scientists using each

Collaborative research is increasingly being funded by government
and private organizations. Collaborative research funds require that fishermen
and scientists work together on fisheries research projects. This can
mean:
- A scientist uses a fishing vessel as a research platform; the vessel crew adds their expertise including seamanship, fish finding and gear handling.
- A scientist and fisherman work together to formulate, get funded, execute and analyze a project. Either the fisherman or the scientists can be the initiator and driving force.
- A group of fishermen get together to do a study or survey, consulting a scientist as needed to ensure scientific validity.
