Managing ecosystems for multiple ecosystem services and balancing the well-being of diverse stakeholders involves different kinds trade-offs. Often trade-offs involve noneconomic difficult-to-evaluate values, such as cultural identity, employment, poor people, or particular species structures. Although need to be considered successful environmental management, they are often overlooked in favor win-wins. Management policy decisions demand approaches that can explicitly acknowledge evaluate...
Social indicators, both mature and emerging, are underused

ABSTRACT Introduction: Interrelated social and ecological challenges demand an understanding of how environmental change management decisions affect human well-being. This paper outlines a framework for measuring well-being ecosystem-based (EBM). We present prototype that can be adapted developed various scales contexts. Scientists managers use indicators to assess status trends in integrated ecosystem assessments (IEAs). To improve the science rigor success EBM, we systematic transparent...
Conservation managers frequently face the challenge of protecting and sustaining biodiversity without producing detrimental outcomes for (often poor) human populations that depend on ecosystem services their well-being. However, mutually beneficial solutions are often elusive can mask trade-offs negative people. To deal with such trade-offs, ecological social thresholds need to be identified determine acceptable solution space conservation. Although well-being as a concept has recently...
Despite extensive recent research elucidating the complex relationship between ecosystem services and human wellbeing, little work has sought to understand how contribute wellbeing poverty alleviation. This paper adopts concepts from "Theory of Human Need" "Capability Approach" both identify multitude links occurring domains, mechanisms through which wellbeing. Focus Group Discussions (N = 40) were carried out at 8 sites in Mozambique Kenya elicit how, why, what extent benefits derived...
Abstract Urbanization is a key driver of social and environmental change world‐wide. However, our understanding its impacts on the multidimensional well‐being benefits that people obtain from ecosystems remains limited. We explored how contributions land‐ seascapes varied with urbanization level in Solomon Islands, fast‐urbanizing Small Island Developing State. Drawing framework, we compared perceived derived ecosystem services paired urban rural sites. Our analysis 200 semi‐structured...
Life satisfaction is both a desirable 'end' for sustainable development, and means to understand the priorities, behaviour of people towards local ecosystems. Ecosystem-services research on life has focused cultural services in wealthy, Western contexts, although ecosystem are essential poor people's livelihoods Global South. We examined reported from survey over 2000 rural urban settings coastal Kenya Mozambique. coded respondents' open-ended reasons their satisfaction, used multiple...
Abstract Social adaptation is often touted as a desirable and necessary response to continued decline in the fisheries sector, however little currently understood about impacts of adaptive strategies on people's broader sense ‘wellbeing’, or how spread affect people different ways. This article draws from research N orthern I reland explore types strategising that takes place within fishing households, specifically address such interplay with wellbeing affected. We demonstrate some hard...
SUMMARY Motivated by growing concern as to the many threats that islands face, subsequent calls for more extensive island nature conservation and recent discussion in literature about potential wellbeing a useful approach understanding how affects people's lives, this paper reviews order explore relate might impact relationship. We apply three-dimensional concept of social structure illustrate importance island–wellbeing interactions context material, relational subjective dimensions, using...
Abstract The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) principle of “leaving no one behind” focuses global attention on the poorest and most vulnerable people. As different sectors grapple to engage meaningfully with this principle, we posit that greater consideration social problems in fishing‐dependent communities, such as alcoholism domestic violence, presents an opportunity for fishery governors contribute SDGs mandate. We further argue governing marine resources ignorance these can risk...
