Abstract Increasing exploitation effort and efficiency have been leading to population declines extinctions among large marine animals. Understanding the magnitude of such losses is challenging because current baselines about species' abundances distributions in sea were mostly established after humans had started affecting populations. For artisanal fisheries, from which written historical records are rarely, if ever, available, approaches based on gathering anecdotal information fishers'...
This paper dedicates to understanding of what is needed achieve the transformation ocean governance. Based on theory transformative agency conceptualized in a multi-level governance context, we build recent novel inter- and transdisciplinary research Brazil explore opportunities for dynamic, complex field We focus this analysis three processes towards developing socially ecologically coherent marine protected area network as core spatial planning process enhanced ecosystem-based polycentric...
The unpredictable Anthropocene poses the challenge of imagining a radically different, equitable and sustainable world. Looking 100 years ahead is not easy, especially as millennials, it appears quite bleak. This paper outcome visioning exercise carried out in 2-day workshop, attended by 33 young early career professionals under auspices IPBES. process used Nature Futures Framework an adapted method from Seeds Good project. Four groups envisioned more desirable future worlds; where humanity...
The efficacy of global environmental assessments in informing and shaping ocean coastal management is hampered by recognized gaps science endeavours. In order to bridge these gaps, secure inclusive equitable knowledge co-construction stakeholders, the International Panel for Ocean Sustainability (IPOS) emerging. Here we present outcomes "Bridging Shades Blue Workshop" held Spain 2023. A diverse group holders, including policymakers, small-scale fishers, marine social scientists lawyers...
This presentation contributes to the "Indigenous Peoples: Knowledge Systems, Fisheries, and Environmental Challenges" panel by showcasing insights from a pilot project International Panel for Ocean Sustainability (IPOS) with partners in Costa Rica, transformative initiative Brazil. Both are national level projects aimed at integrating knowledge of marginalized voices promotion marine sustainability equitable governance, those early career ocean professionals Indigenous Peoples Local...
Insights from Towards IPOS consultation process: informing development and future directionsThe foundational value proposition for an has been significantly enriched shaped by a methodologically diverse process launched in 2022. Through combination of one-on-one interviews, in-person online workshops, side events at international conferences, expert consultations via surveys, the initiative gathered insights hundreds ocean practitioners on potential role, structure, functions IPOS. This...
Ocean science plays a critical role in decision-making processes with distributional effects, which inherently carry equity implications. At the same time, concerns about shape how ocean is conducted, influencing scientific questions are prioritized. Expanding participation setting research agendas through inclusive can significantly alter trajectory of science. Recent initiatives promoting "ocean knowledge co-production" transdisciplinary grounded this idea, emphasizing involvement...
The goliath grouper Epinephelus itajara is a large sized (> 400 kg) and critically endangered marine fish, which protected in many countries, including Brazil. Through the application of semi-structured interviews, we investigated local ecological knowledge seven fishermen specialist on catching E. from Babitonga bay, Santa Catarina, Local long-line fisheries for seemed to be disappearing tradition studied site, with detailed inherent system, also being lost. Our study showed that engaged...
Goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara) aggregations and relative abundances were described mapped through the use of fishermen's local ecological knowledge in Babitonga Bay southern Brazil. Six well-experienced informants asked to individually provide information about goliath abundance distribution, drawn over a satellite image study area, which was later overlaid gathered into final map. According our informants, occurs along broad salinity depth range, from shallow estuarine areas (less...
Maintaining healthy, productive ecosystems in the face of pervasive and accelerating human impacts including climate change requires globally coordinated sustained observations marine biodiversity. Global coordination is predicated on an understanding scope capacity existing monitoring programs, extent to which they use standardized, interoperable practices for data management. also identification gaps spatial ecosystem coverage, how these correspond management priorities information needs....
Abstract The United Nations’ Ocean Decade calls for co-designing transformative science, ocean networks, and learning strategies to address health decline deep-blue social divides in governance. Yet the capacity advance sustainability pathways shared by UN ecosystem of partners is still under-realized early stages this global campaign.

Seahorses are endangered teleost fishes under increasing human pressures worldwide. In Brazil, marine conservationists and policy-makers thus often skeptical about the viability of sustainable human-seahorse interactions. This study focuses on local ecological knowledge seahorses implications their non-lethal touristic use by a coastal community in northeastern Brazil. Community-based seahorse-watching activities have been carried out Maracaípe village since 1999, but remained uninvestigated...
The Atlantic goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara) is a critically endangered reef fish that has suffered from overfishing. In Brazil, the species been under fishing ban since 2002; however, there are no evidences of population recovery. this context, data to help improve management programs sorely needed. We assessed fisheries landings and interviewed key informants investigate fishing, habitat use, occurrence in Abrolhos Bank, eastern Brazil. mangroves, longline was main gear used catch...
Conservation science is a mission-driven discipline, yet there are few assessments on whether conservation practices follow scientific recommendations, and thus missed opportunities for improvement. Brazil has among the greatest gaps in species protection by Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) globally priority future marine efforts. In this paper, we assess federal protected area (MPA) planning process compare it to systematic approach, focused achieving benefits while minimizing associated...
Formal and semi-formal networks are emerging as effective, collaborative, adaptable approaches for addressing complex, rapidly evolving ocean governance issues. One such group of networks, which we refer to marine-related learning play multifaceted roles within systems by facilitating knowledge creation, exchange, dissemination, building the capacity individuals institutions address problems improve coastal governance. This study investigates emergence, key attributes, outcomes using...
