Evidence-based decisions about Canada's natural resources typically come from formal assessments that engage stakeholders only as critics of scientific knowledge developed without their participation. This kind of passive engagement fails to capture potentially valuable knowledge held by community members as part of the scientific process, limiting understanding by scientists and buy-in from stakeholder groups. By studying how ideas become quantified, this research aims to transform how community knowledge about natural resources can become part of the process of evidence-based decision making. Specifically, the research will develop new methods to help accurately translate ideas held by community members into quantitative models that can be evaluated scientifically. In doing so, the project aims to figure out how best to capture community-held scientific knowledge so that the diverse views of Canadians are reflected in fisheries stock assessments and associated management decisions. The work is unique in elevating the value of non-scientific views within the formal scientific process and will help to bridge the gap between fisheries science and stakeholders through new avenues of active engagement.

关于加拿大自然资源的基于证据的决定通常来自正式评估，这些评估仅是在不参与的科学知识的批评者的情况下吸引利益相关者。这种被动参与未能捕获社区成员作为科学过程的一部分持有的潜在有价值的知识，从而限制了科学家的理解和利益相关者群体的买入。通过研究思想如何量化，这项研究旨在改变社区对自然资源的知识如何成为基于证据的决策过程的一部分。具体而言，该研究将开发新的方法，以帮助将社区成员持有的思想准确地转化为可以科学评估的定量模型。在这样做的过程中，该项目旨在弄清楚如何最好地捕获社区控制的科学知识，从而在渔业库存评估和相关的管理决策中反映出加拿大人的各种观点。这项工作在提高非科学观点在正式科学过程中的价值方面是独一无二的，将有助于通过积极参与的新途径来弥合渔业科学与利益相关者之间的鸿沟。
