渔业的有效管理依赖于渔业、管理人员和科学家之间的高度信任。这项研究探讨了目前的信任程度，渔民在英国（英国）渔业的管理和科学机构，英国制定新的管理措施以外的共同渔业政策，脱欧后。进行了一项调查，以检查信任，以及渔民对当前管理目标和工具的意见，并调查参与合作计划的情况。我们共收到来自英国渔民的43份回复，代表了各种船只大小和渔业类型。这些参与者对调查中几乎所有机构的信任程度都很低，然而，个人回答之间的差异很大。渔民的管理目标与Defra 25年环境计划的几个目标一致。然而，增加海洋保护区的覆盖面是最不受欢迎的目标。更多地使用选择性装置是最受欢迎的管理工具，而海洋保护区仍然是最不受欢迎的。更令人惊讶的是，那些以前与科学家和管理人员合作过的渔民表现出更高的信任度。根据我们的研究结果，我们建议增加使用渔业科学伙伴关系和共同管理作为增加信任的关键，因为英国寻求改革和改善其在英国退欧后的渔业管理。虽然我们的样本量相对较小，但我们希望我们的研究为更广泛的分析全球渔业部门的信任以及如何改进铺平道路。
Effective management of fisheries relies on high levels of trust between the fishing industry, managers and scientists. This study examines the current levels of trust that fishers have of governing and scientific bodies in United Kingdom (UK) fisheries,as the UK develops new management measures outside of the Common Fisheries Policy, after Brexit. A survey was conducted to examine trust, alongside fishers' opinions of current management goals and tools, and to investigate participation in cooperative schemes. We received a total of 43 responses from fishers across the UK representing a variety of vessel sizes and types of fisheries. These participants had low levels of trust in nearly all the institutions included in the survey, however, there was high variation between individual responses. The management goals of fishers aligned with several goals from Defra’s 25-year Environment Plan. However, increasing the coverage of marine protected areas (MPAs) was the least popular goal. Increased use of selectivity devices was most favoured as a management tool, while MPAs were again the least popular. More encouragingly, those fishers who had previously collaborated with scientists and managers showed higher levels of trust across the board. Based on our results, we recommend increased use of fishing industry-science partnerships and co-management as key to increasing trust as the UK seeks to reform and improve its management of fisheries after Brexit. Although our sample size was relatively small, we hope our study paves the way for more expansive analyses into trust in fisheries sectors globally, and how it can be improved.
