Project Summary:
This research is part of a five-year research project that aims to enhance the capacity of civil servants, Indigenous and non-Indigenous community leaders, and economic stakeholders participating in transboundary fishery governance networks operating in Canada and the U.S. to coordinate their activities and collaborate across organizational boundaries. The project brings together a community of scholars from the U.S., Canada, and the Netherlands. The project team will employ a mixed-methods approach to examine different alliance networks underpinning transboundary fisheries governance in the Salish Sea and Gulf of Maine marine regions shared by Canada and the U.S.
Dr. Sohns is leading research on the factors affecting inter-organizational collaboration among partners who play a role in protecting (directly or indirectly) the North Atlantic Right Whale in the Gulf of Maine.
