description: This Report documents the presentations given at the World’s first international conference on the management value of the resource knowledge of small scale, indigenous and commercial fishers. The conference was inspired by Dr Robert (Bob) Johannes, whose 1981 Book ‘Words of the Lagoon’, was the first serious study in this area, and was co-hosted by the UBC Fisheries Centre, UBC First Nations House of Learning and the BC Aboriginal Fisheries Commission. Over 200 people representing 23 countries and 36 North American First Nation representatives attended. The conference sought to provide a way to ‘step beyond’ fishers’ frustration that their knowledge is ignored and scientists’ standard position that the knowledge is anecdotal, and can not easily be captured in the reports, tables and graphs they are used to. In total, 48 papers and 26 abstracts of papers were presented during the three days of the conference. These case studies and presentations included Indigenous, Artisanal, small scale and industrial marine and freshwater fisheries in tropical and temperate environments. Species range from turtles and dugongs, through temperate trawl and tropical multi-species fisheries to the aquarium trade. The conference followed themes relating to the use of fishers' ecological knowledge about fishing practices in environmental management; the relationships between fishers' expertise (knowledge) and management; methodological issues/methods for obtaining and accurately representing fishers' knowledge; the ethical issues relating to collaboration between TEK practitioners, managers, academics and industry; and the valuation of fishers' knowledge from an ecological, economic and social approach.

His 1981 book ?Words of the Lagoon? opened the eyes of fisheries scientists to the knowledge, insight and values of those who spend their working lives on the water. The attendance of more than 200 people from 60 countries, Indigenous peoples and Aboriginal organizations is a direct tribute to his ability to bring people together. A fearless and prolific researcher, Bob put tremendous effort into getting natural and social scientists and fishers to harness their collective wisdom to solve management challenges. In spite of serious and ultimately terminal illness, Bob attended the conference long enough to make a keynote speech and challenge us to establish an institute for the research and application of Indigenous fishers? knowledge at UBC. We?re working on it! Dr Bob Johannes being presented with Kwakwaka?wakw artwork by Kla-kisht-ke-is Chief Simon Lucas at the ?Putting Fishers? Knolwedge to Work? workshop in Vancouver, 2001.
