Abstract:
Inadequate and inequitable distribution of research capacity and resources limits both the opportunity for leadership and participation in science. It also results in biases of effort, poor and misinterpretation of global patterns and the availability of limited usable knowledge for current challenges. Increased participation in ocean research and decision-making is needed to account for many stressors and challenges. The current intergovernmental attention on the ocean (e.g. UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development) and the development of technologies that permit exploration and accelerate exploitation suggest that it is timely to focus on the ocean and its stewardship. Employing the principles of co-development, co-production and co-dissemination, this paper uses a case study of a deep reef project in Seychelles to illustrate some activities that can be employed to magnify research outcomes and legacy. We provide examples that range from ministerial briefings and planning meetings to joint fieldwork, grant allocation and co-authoring outputs. These activities helped us to align priorities, promote authentic interactions and focus on equitable science. Finally, reflecting on our experiences, we acknowledge the benefits brought by respectful and long-term partnerships, the variety of activities needed to develop these and challenges of maintaining them. In the future, we also want to include more opportunities for regional peer-to-peer learning and technology transfer.
摘要:
研究能力和资源分配不足和不公平限制了领导和参与科学的机会。这也会导致努力的偏差,对全球模式的不良和误解,以及应对当前挑战的可用知识有限。需要更多地参与海洋研究和决策,以应对许多压力和挑战。当前政府间对海洋的关注(例如联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年)以及允许勘探和加速开发的技术的发展表明,现在是时候将重点放在海洋及其管理上了。运用共同开发的原则,共同制作和共同传播,本文以塞舌尔深礁项目为例,说明了一些可用于放大研究成果和遗产的活动。我们提供了从部长级简报和规划会议到联合实地考察的例子,赠款分配和共同创作产出。这些活动帮助我们调整优先事项,促进真实的互动,关注公平的科学。最后,反思我们的经历,我们承认尊重和长期伙伴关系带来的好处,开发这些所需的各种活动以及维护它们的挑战。在未来,我们还希望为区域对等学习和技术转让提供更多机会。
