In recent years, ocean governance has called for strategic action and science‐informed policy to work towards the sustainable development of ocean, most notably as part UN Decade Ocean Science Sustainable Development (2021–2030). This common framework identifies integration scientific knowledge in a key process deliver solutions responding current challenges, opportunities, transformations posed by global change oceans. article presents methodological approach identifying ocean‐related research outputs documenting research‐based documents that inform governance. Specifically, this study builds on an analysis references included Second World Assessment report (a) identify describe cited distinct chapters report, (b) relevant through citations from Assessment, (c) compare both datasets examine position literature within broader ecosystem research, (d) present method topically could be integrated future assessments. Our findings show referencing practices across expert groups higher reliance high‐profile sources compared dataset outputs.

Abstract Spanning the boundaries between research and decision-making is critical for supporting environmental management. One way to do so through knowledge brokers who, among other things, work build social networks decision-makers researchers, facilitating their interaction exchange of knowledge. While brokering has received increasing attention in literature, gaps our limit effective recruitment implementation, which demands a better understanding personal attributes needed success. Such an also necessary support evaluation activities. Therefore, this study, we investigate question ‘what are most important being broker at interface management’, how evaluated. We study Australia’s National Environmental Science Program (NESP) employs range professional brokers, 14 whom participated study. Specifically, performed quantitative ranking exercise (Q-methodology) online survey. Results show that were interpersonal competencies unifying nature. As such, Being good seeing opportunities collaboration, able tailor communication different audiences, ask questions highly ranked attributes. In dimension evaluation, survey results NESP mainly evaluated metrics relating immediate delivery engagement (mostly measures) medium-term impact on end-users (qualitative measures). However, participants envisioned options capture impact/value by evaluating long-term impacts efforts throughout full process value addition line with goals, strategies, required The new generated findings offers applied contribution practice brokering, suggesting distinct complex career whereby complementary skill sets appear relevant perform all tasks along timeline. emphasize need bespoke approaches tailored towards diverse contributions progression maximise outcomes.

Abstract The management and conservation of fisheries aquatic resources are inherently applied activities. Therefore, when knowledge generated from research monitoring, or that is held by practitioners other actors (e.g., Indigenous elders, fishers), fails to inform those decisions, the persistent gap between action reinforced (i.e., knowledge–action gap). In healthcare realm, there has been immense growth in implementation science over past decade so with a goal understanding bridging delivering on evidence-based decision making. Yet, within sciences, concept not received same level attention. We posit, therefore, an urgent need embrace enhance conservation. this paper, we seek describe what it offer communities. For our context, define as scientific study processes approaches promote systematic uptake monitoring findings practices into routine practice making improve effectiveness explore various frameworks for consider them context science. Although barriers challenges putting lack capacity such work, time engage reflection, funding), also much way opportunity several examples where efforts already underway. conclude highlighting needs related realm span methodological approaches, albeit common theme involve (and relevant actors) research.

In the context of accelerated climate dynamics and uncertainties surrounding change research, collaborative approaches to knowledge generation are increasingly cited as a pathway needed for navigating complexity challenges. There is widespread consensus that researcher-community joint expertise deepens our understanding climatic changes. However, how this unfolds in practical settings lacks rigorous empirical support landscape contemporary environmental studies. The article focuses on intrinsic process expert exchange creating knowledge-in-action space meaningful community-researcher partnerships. Addressing these issues draws upon experiences facilitating public events diverse audiences different countries varying scale, format level engagement.

Abstract A gap exists in the literature on how to implement theories of knowledge exchange (KE) into practice within an environmental management context. To support improved KE, we conducted a scoping review evaluating 56 empirical case studies globally identify enabling conditions for implementing effective KE. Identified were organized core capacities framework, which highlighted essential elements KE from organizational, individual, financial, material, practical, political, and social capacity dimensions. Results show that major enablers relate practitioners' individual organizational including ability practitioners (often boundary spanners) establish trust with relevant actors through their interpersonal relationships possessing sufficient background skills facilitate collaborations across disciplines sectors. We also identified main challenges engaging (e.g., insufficient long‐ term funding projects, lack build network, inadequate accessible manner), outcomes impacts can emerge work. find often perform quantitative evaluations provide instantaneous measurable effectiveness but do not capture impact are best achieved qualitative approaches.

Abstract Multilateral environmental governance regimes like the Antarctic Treaty System are pivotal in addressing today's wicked transboundary socio‐ecological problems and central to their success is facilitation of constructive knowledge exchange (KE) between research policymaking communities. Consequently, literature now ripe with studies that aim uncover elements enable or hinder KE successes across diverse settings. Yet, context, practices comprise science‐policy interfaces remain empirically under examined. Here we contribute by exploring perspectives 31 practitioners develop our understandings successful policy contexts Consultative Meetings Committee for Environmental Protection. By adopting a reflexive thematic analysis, identify 11 enablers 9 barriers overlapping, interconnected complex. According practitioners, face pervasive barriers, such as often overshadowing effect politics, deficiency incentives large‐scale problems, certain institutions portray strong boundary spanning expertise, which despite many challenges identified, serves facilitate support evidence‐informed decision‐making. However, extent spanners influential leadership varies, while acknowledging an important enabler success, raise several questions regarding potentially unexplored assumptions underpin current practices. As share desire foster inclusive, iterative multidirectional dialogues among other identified improvements, suggest harnessing reflexivity humility within these processes will be critically ensuring existing asymmetries inequities not reinforced guise improved ways working.
