Fisheries are coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) important for human health and well-being, yet they are rarely studied as CHANS with reciprocal relationships linking humans and nature. The scarcity of research approaches that consider human-nature interactions in fisheries represents a potential hindrance to ecologically and socioeconomically informed management strategies. Researchers from the Florida Co-op Unit are developing next-generation CHANS frameworks for understanding how fisheries – freshwater and marine – are locally, regionally, and globally connected with implications for food, nutrition, and livelihood security. This research will be used to understand how fisheries function as CHANS and improve their management through ecologically and socioeconomically informed approaches.
