Report from the Workshop
\n“Memorial University - Community Research
\nPartnerships: Resource Management in Marine
\nand Freshwater Environments”

From 21 to 22 of August 2008, the Leslie Harris Centre of Regional Policy and
\nDevelopment hosted a workshop at Eastport, Newfoundland. The workshop was entitled
\n“Memorial University – Community Research Partnerships: Resource Management in Marine
\nand Freshwater Environments.” Its purpose was to bring together faculty and staff of Memorial
\nUniversity, policy makers, and community members to discuss the issues and opportunities
\nsurrounding the Indian Bay watershed and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) (see Appendix A,
\nAgenda). The workshop featured two research projects supported by the Harris Centre Applied
\nResearch Fund, and consisted of presentations and question and answer/discussion periods on
\nresearch partnerships in Indian Bay and MPAs, an evening presentation from Dr. Art May, and a
\nsession of panel discussions led by representatives from governments, unions, and community
\norganizations (see Appendix B, List of Participants).
\nWorkshop participants, stakeholder organizations, and the public more generally
\nspeaking will have access to this report. While the workshop itself generated considerable
\ndiscussion and debate and helped to facilitate the exchange of information about both marine and
\nfreshwater fisheries management, it is hoped that this is merely a beginning. That is, the aim of
\nthe workshop was in part to begin a discussion, and it is hoped that participants, as well as any
\nother interested parties, will provide comments and feedback both about the meeting that has
\ntaken place, about future possibilities for engaging in dialogue about the management of these
\nresources, and the role of university research in informing dialogue and resource management.
\nGiven the diversity of the representatives at the meeting, it is not surprising that the
\npresentations and panels inspired discussion of a wide array of topics and that a plethora of
\nviews, interests, questions, and concerns emerged from the workshop. Generally speaking,
\nhowever, a myriad of comments, questions, suggestions, and so on revolved around two basic
\nthemes – governance and knowledge mobilization. The following report, therefore, is organized
\naround these subjects.
