How to Participate
Fishermen can participate in collaborative research in a number of ways.
The foremost way is for a fisherman to bring forth his observations and ideas
and suggest a possible topic to research. The MFP can then help find
scientific partners and funding. In addition, a fisherman can be paid to
participate in focus group meetings and individual interviews with
researchers. He can also rent his vessel to be a research platform, which is
known as cooperative research. Ocean research is very varied and other
opportunities to participate are available.
To get involved contact the
MFP Collaborative Research Coordinator
