Stakeholder Partnerships
Our interdisciplinary research teams work in close partnership with stakeholders to maximize the relevance and potential value of research for decision-making. Our collaborative approach rests on a foundation of mutual respect, open communication, and a belief in the value of diverse ideas and experiences. Current stakeholder partners include tribal governments, state and federal agencies, non-governmental organizations and the private sector.
“Anytime you can get experienced fishermen, who have lived their lives on the water, together with university researchers, who have the richness of their scientific background, generally, good things happen.”
—Will Hopkins, Executive Director, Cobscook Bay Resource Center
