The topic of Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) and related terminology has attracted considerable scholarly debate inspired regulatory interventions across Europe. Yet little attention been paid to the general public’s awareness or understanding this term its implications for marine policy. We employ a unique representative data set (n=542) from United Kingdom (UK) examine (i) extent which public is aware concept Management, (ii) demographic correlates such understanding, (iii) whether converges with scientific notions definitions. Our headline finding that vast majority adults in UK have never heard EBFM. Participants who attempt explain what they understood by EBFM associate it primarily protecting environment safeguarding fish stocks. While broadly conforms notions, very few respondents mention socio-economic aspects, considerations, reliance on science/data climatic issues. Examination reveals people work sectors, more regularly, higher sustainability issues, are financially better off likely Among those attempted definition, older were maintaining stocks, education whose family members worked sector, aspects. Data climate themes less be mentioned had Public support can pivotal successful implementation fisheries management, but our findings suggest there remains significant gap addressed between scientific/regulatory In regard, we offer some insights communication among public.
