Research Overview

Dr Hanich leads the Fisheries Governance Research Program which studies how communities and States manage human interaction with our marine environment, and develops innovative solutions to manage our activities and impacts. Communication and engagement are key components of our research. Our applied research engages with communities, analyses key problems, and creates new solutions that deliver real outcomes with tangible impacts.

Dr Hanich has a strong research interest in ocean governance, food security and marine conservation, and has built an extensive research, advisory and consulting track record. He has written over 80 peer reviewed papers, book chapters and research reports and is regularly retained by internationalorganisations in technical and strategic roles. His publications have been cited widely in regional development and governance literature, and increasingly in research literature. For example Closing the Gaps, was cited by the Australian Government Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee in 2009, Managing Fisheries and Corruption was cited by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in 2011, and Mapping the Distribution of the Conservation Burden was cited by the 2012 Scientific Committee to the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) with a recommendation that the WCPFC address the issues raised in the paper. In 2013, the WCPFC subsequently adopted two conservation measures tabled by the Pacific island States that explicitly addressed these issues.
