This Dissertation Improvement Grant in the Science and Society Policy Studies in Science, Engineering, and Technology focuses on a qualitative study that will extend prior NSF supported research to identify a comprehensive range of Hawaii's marine resource stakeholders (HMS), and will provide insights about their informational exchanges. The study will employ the Social Actor Model, developed through prior NSF-funded research by Lamb & Kling, to examine the dynamics of community involvement in the management of marine resources. This empirically derived and theoretically supported approach will guide a systematic exploration of the concepts of marine resources co-management in concert with concepts about informational exchanges to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the developments taking shape across different communities of practice. This approach constructs a view of HMS as social actors, each as part of an institution, both enabling and constraining interactions, affiliations, environments and identities. NSF will support the collection of data that addresses three basic questions central to the objectives of this research. First, how do selected Hawaii's marine stakeholders obtain and use information on the local marine environment? Secondly, which factors influence the formation of groups and alliances among Hawaii's marine stakeholders? And third, how does environmental information shape Hawaii's marine stakeholders' practices, identities, affiliations and interactions with other groups and agencies (and in turn become shaped by them)? These questions will be addressed through a series of interviews and related participatory data gathering meetings, accompanied by document review and network analysis. The interviewing will focus on stakeholders in three distinct sites around the Hawaiian Islands, and will be conducted over the course of one year in partial fulfillment of the doctoral dissertation requirements of the University of Hawaii. The sites will vary in terms of key HMS characteristics, operating under different institutions and different contexts: one site will focus attention on mostly extractive activities, another will focus on exclusive conservation, and the final site will balance both extractive and non-extractive uses. This research will provide a characterization of the informational exchanges among Hawaii's marine stakeholders, and will explain how these exchanges shape the uses and management of the local ocean resources. This research will also identify and describe some successful partnerships among diverse stakeholders in ways that will help other researchers develop further studies of environmental activities more generally.

在科学，工程和技术的科学和社会政策研究的这篇论文改进补助金侧重于定性研究，将扩展以前的NSF支持的研究，以确定一个全面的范围夏威夷的海洋资源利益相关者（HMS），并将提供有关他们的信息交流的见解。该研究将采用社会行动者模型，通过先前的NSF资助的研究由兰姆克林开发，以检查社区参与海洋资源管理的动态。这一从经验中得出并得到理论支持的方法将指导对海洋资源共同管理概念的系统探讨，并与信息交流概念相结合，以更全面地了解不同实践群体正在形成的发展。这种方法构建了一个HMS作为社会行为者的观点，每个人都是一个机构的一部分，既可以促进也可以限制互动，从属关系，环境和身份。NSF将支持收集数据，解决本研究目标的三个基本问题。首先，选定的夏威夷海洋利益攸关方如何获得和使用当地海洋环境的信息？其次，哪些因素影响了夏威夷海洋利益相关者之间的团体和联盟的形成？ 第三，环境信息如何塑造夏威夷海洋利益攸关方的做法、身份、从属关系以及与其他团体和机构的互动（反过来又受到他们的影响）？这些问题将通过一系列访谈和相关的参与性数据收集会议加以解决，同时进行文件审查和网络分析。面试将集中在夏威夷群岛周围三个不同地点的利益相关者，并将在一年的时间内进行，部分满足夏威夷大学的博士论文要求。这些地点将在不同的机构和不同的背景下运作，在关键的HMS特征方面有所不同：一个地点将主要关注采掘活动，另一个地点将专注于独家保护，最后一个地点将平衡采掘和非采掘用途。 这项研究将提供一个夏威夷的海洋利益相关者之间的信息交流的特点，并将解释这些交流如何塑造当地海洋资源的使用和管理。这项研究还将确定和描述不同利益攸关方之间的一些成功的伙伴关系，以帮助其他研究人员更广泛地开展对环境活动的进一步研究。
