Impacts of fishery policy on the distribution of access and community benefits
This paper provides an illustration of how fishery policies, particularly relating to transferability of licenses and quota holdings, can alter the distribution of fishery access, rights and benefits across fishing communities. Such distributional changes have consequences, but these are rarely made explicit within management, and there is too often a lack of effort to predict, monitor or mitigate those consequences. As seen in this paper, the la…
Best bang for your buck: Considerations for cost-efficiency in knowledge co-production
Knowledge co-production is a key strategy of collaborative engagement between research and management to achieve better outcomes. Whereas the principles of knowledge co-production in support of evidence-informed policy-making are increasingly understood, our understanding of its cost-efficiency - putting benefits in relation to its cost - is in its infancy. Here, we approach this gap by exploring the key considerations for ensuring that the benef…

Expanding infrastructure ontologies: Integrative and critical insights for coastal studies and governance
Diverse knowledge insights are essential to inform action on bringing about transformations in how societies live with changing Earth, ocean and coastal systems. However, knowledge forms typically used in governance systems are stubbornly limited. This paper analyses the extent to which an expanding ontology of the concept of ‘infrastructure’ can contribute to building more integrated knowledge for governance in ocean and coastal contexts. This p…
Foresighting future oceans: Considerations and opportunities
Full spectrum sustainability and a theory of access: Integrating social benefits into fisheries governance
The United Nations has identified access to and benefits from fisheries resources as key sustainable development challenges. The business-as-usual management approach focusing on a limited set of biological and economic considerations has not adequately addressed widespread global calls for governing the distribution of access and benefits effectively and equitably. Our paper develops a novel approach for incorporating social science analysis of …

A comparison of sustainability objectives: How well does the Canadian Fisheries Research Network framework compare with fisheries, forestry, and aquaculture certification schemes

Ten tips for developing interdisciplinary socio-ecological researchers
Practical use of full-spectrum sustainability in the Bay of Fundy
It is increasingly recognized that sustainability is composed of four key components: environmental, economic, social (including cultural), and institutional (or governance). Fisheries and coastal management systems, however, are heavily weighted toward biophysical and ecological aspects, thus leaving the "human dimension," i.e., social, economic, and institutional, relatively neglected. Full-spectrum sustainability (FSS) is an approach to resour…
Key principles of marine ecosystem-based management
Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) has gained international popularity in recent years, but the lack of consensus on its definition has precluded the use of a universal implementation framework. The large number and variety of principles that make up EBM, and the diversity in perspectives among key management players, has impeded the practical application of EBM. Agreement on a list of the essential ingredients of EBM is vital to successful applica…

Blue Blanket Island (39WW9) an Historic Contact Site in the Oahe Reservoir Near Mobridge, South Dakota
The Blue Blanket Island site (39WW9), a small, fortified, proto-historic Indian village on an island in the Missouri River, in Walworth County, South Dakota, was partially excavated by a River Basin Surveys crew in August 1961. One centrally located earthlodge, sections of the fortification, storage pits, and middens were excavated. Artifacts were scanty but architectural details were informative. The lodge was 18 sided with a short entry wayto t…
Frank H. H. Roberts, Jr., 1897-1966
died of a heart attack at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on February 23, 1966, at the age of sixty-eight years, six months, and twelve days. His ashes were interred at Arlington National Cemetery in a simple, military, graveside service that seemed most appropriate for a man of his modest and unassuming nature who nevertheless has left such a masterful imprint on his lifelong profession. James Bryant Conant once said, "Each honest …

Taxonomy and Chronology in the Central Plains - Middle Missouri River Area
In April 1953 Gordon C. Baldwin, John L. Champe, Carlyle S. Smith, Wesley R. Hurt and the writer made a brief field trip to the Fort Randall and Oahe Reservoir areas in South Dakota. The discussions of cultural rela tionships of archeological materials from this and related areas which developed on that trip culminated in a spontaneous, informal gathering upon the party's return to Lincoln. The Smithsonian Institution staff in Lincoln, the staff …

The Hogge Bridge Site and the Wylie Focus
The Lavon Dam and Reservoir, under construction by the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, is one of the many projects throughout the country which will soon obliterate information relating to the prehistory of North America. This particular project is located on the East Fork of the Trinity River in Collin County, Texas, 21 miles northeast of Dallas. It was scheduled for completion in January, 1952.The Trinity River is one of several maj…
Administrative Problems of the River Basin Surveys
Within the River Basin Surveys, Smithsonian Institution, administration and scientific research are closely integrated but separate efforts. The one depends upon the other and vice versa, throughout, yet they require different kinds of orientation. This basic principle of simultaneous integration and separation can and should be applied to all anthropological research. Problems that must be met in administration are those of finance and the fisca…

Culture Chronology in Texas
This brief statement is presented as a summary of the archaeological sequences as they have been postulated to date in the Texas area. It is a compilation of the results of investigations by.several dozen archaeologists who have worked in the area during the past quarter century or more. Necessarily it is brief and only a bare minimum of description of each cultural group has been included. Also, the sequential alignments are for the most part te…

A Note on Some Large Pits in Certain Sites Near Dallas, Texas
During August and September, 1948, the writer made an archaeological survey of the Lavon Reservoir area in Collin County, Texas. This was a project of the River Basin Surveys program of archaeological salvage, undertaken by the Smithsonian Institution, with the cooperation of the Corps of Engineers and the National Park Service. This reservoir is being built on the East Fork of the Trinity River near Wylie, Texas and approximately 25 miles northe…
A Corner-Tang Artifact from Oregon
During the cataloging of a collection of some 650 tiny projectile points from the banks of the Columbia River in Columbia County, Oregon, an unusual specimen was brought to light. All but five of the points in the collection are under 3/4 inch in length and are proportionately narrow and thin. The five larger specimens were, then, immediately outstanding. Of these, one is of the corner-tang variety. It is 2.13 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 0.36 i…
