Bolstering conservation outcomes by integrating human behavioural science

本项目旨在确定如何通过行为干预措施改善渔业合规情况。偷猎是阻碍全球可持续渔业的最顽固的问题，然而，由于对如何影响行为的理解有限，减少违规行为的努力往往失败。该项目将借鉴行为科学的关键理论和方法，以经验评估社会规范干预如何影响一系列珊瑚礁渔业的渔民合规。这将大大提高我们对如何利用心理、社会和文化维度来减少偷猎的理解。最终，该项目将为影响渔业和其他环境方面的行为提供实际指导。

This project aims to determine how fisheries compliance can be improved with behavioural interventions. Poaching is the most tenacious problem hindering sustainable fisheries worldwide, yet efforts to reduce non-compliance often fail due to limited understanding of how to influence behaviour. This project will draw on key theories and methods from behavioural science to empirically assess how social norms interventions influence fisher compliance in a range of coral reef fisheries. This will significantly improve our understanding of how to lever psychological, social, and cultural dimensions to reduce poaching. Ultimately, this project will contribute practical guidance to influence behaviours in fisheries and other environmental contexts.
