Abstract To construct more sustainable ways of using coastal resources, collaboration between society, decision makers, and scientists is highly advocated. Some social sectors consider that scientists do not adequately participate in the problems of society, and that although scientific knowledge continues to grow, socioecological problems are worsening. The generation of scientific knowledge, as well as its dissemination to address societal problems, should go beyond what traditionally has been done. The exchange of information among stakeholders is essential in the management of socioecological systems and the importance of understanding these flows is increasingly recognized. We investigated the role that scientific research has played in small-scale fisheries on the southern coast of Jalisco, Mexico. We used Social Network Analysis to visualize and understand the information flow between three sectors: fishers, academia, and government. Our findings suggest that the geographical distance between the actors plays an important role and defines many of the interactions between the sectors. In addition, distrust, language differences, lack of cooperation and leadership within the fishing organizations, and a lack of empathy between the actors, are all obstacles that actors face when discussing actions plans. The governmental sector has the ability to collect and disseminate information, yet it has not done enough to share the information in an effective way. While academia is a reliable and constant source of information, it has a peripheral role in the social network and there is a lack of communication strategies in place to enable the data generated to be utilized effectively. This study may provide an alternative pathway for research institutions to understand their role when examining issues in the regions where they work.

墨西哥太平洋中部沿海小规模渔业的科学研究和信息流

摘要 为了构建更可持续的利用沿海资源的方式,强烈提倡社会、决策者和科学家之间的合作。一些社会部门认为科学家没有充分参与社会问题,尽管科学知识不断增长,但社会生态问题却在恶化。科学知识的产生及其传播以解决社会问题,应该超越传统的做法。利益相关者之间的信息交流对于社会生态系统的管理至关重要,并且越来越认识到了解这些流动的重要性。我们调查了科学研究在墨西哥哈利斯科州南部海岸的小规模渔业中发挥的作用。我们使用社交网络分析来可视化和理解三个部门之间的信息流:渔民、学术界和政府。我们的研究结果表明,参与者之间的地理距离起着重要作用,并定义了部门之间的许多相互作用。此外,不信任、语言差异、渔业组织内部缺乏合作和领导以及行动者之间缺乏同理心,都是行动者在讨论行动计划时面临的障碍。政府部门有能力收集和传播信息,但在有效共享信息方面做得还不够。虽然学术界是可靠且持续的信息来源,它在社交网络中扮演外围角色,并且缺乏适当的沟通策略来有效利用生成的数据。这项研究可能为研究机构在审查其工作地区的问题时了解其作用提供了另一种途径。
