Researchers at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College and Memorial University along with multiple community partners received funding for a Community-University Research for Recovery Alliance focusing on Newfoundland's west coast marine ecosystems and fishing communities. Our activities included:

• Broadening use and public engagement with the Bonne Bay Marine Station
• Linking research and local knowledge to develop key recovery strategies for the region
• Enhancing the capacity of fish harvesters and fishing communities within the region to engage in recovery strategies
• Integrating existing knowledge and developing new knowledge about fish, fisheries and fishing communities
• Transferring knowledge to the region and between generations through innovative community-based educational programs and initiatives
• Creating a multi-disciplinary platform for future research and collaborations
