Co-Sustain – Collaborative Sustainable Innovation co-designing small-scale fisheries governance approaches
European Observatory
CO-SUSTAIN is an interdisciplinary research project led by Dr Ruth Brennan under the sponsorship of Prof. Poul Holm. From October 2018 to October 2020, Dr Brennan will work closely with the Irish Islands Marine Resources Organisation (IIMRO) to co-design and test innovative governance approaches that promote good governance, foster marine stewardship and contribute to sustainability goals while meeting the need of fisheries-dependent coastal communities to flourish. This interdisciplinary research will be focused on the four island groups of Donegal, Mayo, Galway and Cork on the Irish west coast. It will draw together marine science (natural and social), political ecology, law, environmental governance, environmental history and gender studies.
