JAKFISH (Judgement And Knowledge in Fisheries Involving StakeHolders) is a researach project that started in April 2008. The objectives of JAKFISH are:

1. To examine and develop the institutions, practices and tools that allow complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity to be dealt with effectively within participatory decision-making processes.
2. To examine how scientific information is used and what types of roles scientists play in the formulation of policies.
3. To study how the current scientific processes take into account the multi-objective nature of fisheries management.
4. To synthesise the obtained views and to redefine the institutional role of science in EU polices to improve the overall governance in CFP.

JAKFISH develops institutions, practices and tools for dealing with scientific support to policy under high uncertainty. The project will focus on European marine governance, particularly on fish harvesting.
