公民科学往往被视为促进社区参与海洋资源管理的一种手段。然而，由于利益攸关方对以这种方式收集的数据的价值和效用的看法，其在这一领域的潜在贡献受到限制。在澳大利亚，由于没有足够的资源向管理部门通报该国漫长的海岸线，这种情况更加严重。本研究采用了系统思维方法来映射利益相关者的公民科学在西澳大利亚州的概念模型。这表明，必须发生根本性的政策转变，以涵盖所有利益攸关方的观点，并在当前以科学为中心的讨论之外，就公民科学的作用和效用达成共识。
Citizen science is often envisaged as a means to promote community participation in marine resource management. However, its potential contribution in this field is limited by stakeholders' perceptions on the value and utility of data collected in this way. This is exacerbated in the Australian context by insufficient resources to inform management regarding the country's extensive coastline. The present study employs a systems thinking methodology to map stakeholders' conceptual models of citizen science in Western Australia. This shows that a fundamental policy shift must occur in order to encompass the views of all stakeholders and converge on a common understanding of its role and utility of citizen science beyond the current science-centric discourse.
