Abstract
ABSTRACTThe gold standard for citizen science projects that both integrate multiple ways of knowing and innovate new knowledge and solutions are fully collaborative research endeavors where scientists and citizens work as equals at all stages of research. Beyond equitable structure, there are key factors within each collaborative project that help determine success. Using a case study of a collaborative research project between fishermen and scientists investigating water quality impacts on small-scale fisheries, I highlight these factors which have the potential to elevate citizen science from participation to empowerment: access, space for dissent, structured negotiation, and the role of technology.
