ABSTRACT Recreational fishing extends beyond catching fish, by connecting individuals with nature, generating environmental stewards, and contributing to local, regional, national economies. Multi‐ inter‐disciplinary research, integrative management, policy approaches can support better assessment of potential impacts recreational on social‐ecological systems. Transdisciplinary thinking supports managing fisheries effectively, but poses challenges for researchers managers balancing specialized expertise innovative, boundary‐crossing perspectives in light limited funding a rapidly changing environment. The World Fishing Conference (WRFC) serves as the leading global scientific forum addressing these challenges, fostering interdisciplinary exchange among scientists, managers, makers, stakeholders. Papers this special issue represent output last WRFC Melbourne, Australia, 2023. By reviewing content papers published present issue, we illustrate critical role collaborative spaces, such series, bridging different innovation, thereby securing adaptive management conservation response changes. Evaluating development over three decades highlights how conference series represents think tank serving entire network professionals globally.
