  abstract = {{M}ore than a decade of bottom-up collaborative workshops and research with fishers from the principal tropical tuna purse seine fleets to reduce ecological impacts associated with the use of fish aggregating devices ({FAD}s) has yielded novel improved sustainable fishing practices in all oceans. {T}his integrative effort is founded on participatory knowledge-exchange workshops organized by the {I}nternational {S}eafood {S}ustainability {F}oundation ({ISSF}), referred to as "{ISSF} {S}kippers {W}orkshops", where scientists, fishers, and key stakeholders examine and develop together ways and tools to minimize fishery impacts. {W}orkshops organized since 2010 have reached fleet members in 23 countries across {A}sia, {A}frica, the {A}mericas, {E}urope, and {O}ceania, with over 4,000 attendances, mostly skippers and crew, operating in the {I}ndian, {A}tlantic, and {P}acific oceans. {S}tructured and continued open transparent discussions on ocean-specific options to minimize {FAD} associated bycatch, ghost fishing and marine pollution have produced an array of novel co-constructed solutions and a better understanding of ecosystem and fishery dynamics. {D}edicated at sea research cruises in commercial purse seiners have enabled testing some of the ideas proposed in workshops. {R}esults obtained were then communicated back to fishers for a double loop learning system resulting in solution refinement and/or adoption. {F}urthermore, fishers' increased trust and stewardship have stimulated unprecedented large-scale science-industry research projects across oceans, such as multi-fleet biodegradable {FAD} trials, the adoption and widespread use of non-entangling {FAD}s, and the development and adoption of best practices for the safe handling and release of vulnerable bycatch. {T}his model of collaborative research is broadly applicable to other natural resource conservation fields. {S}upport for long-term inclusive programs enabling harvesters to proactively collaborate in impact mitigation research contributes to improved scientific advice, voluntary compliance, and adaptive management for lasting sustainability trajectories.},
