Abstract

Abstract Aquatic ecosystems support the livelihoods and food security of millions of people globally, yet face critical challenges from local threats and global pressures. This paper describes how emerging research on perceptions can illuminate potential solutions for aquatic conservation, and seeks to stimulate thinking on how perceptions research can inform sustainable use in aquatic systems. An overview of three emerging research frontiers in perceptions research is presented: (i) perceptions research to assess conservation initiatives and policy; (ii) perceptions research to inform the design of conservation initiatives; (iii) perceptions of the general public and support for aquatic conservation.
