SUMMARY The concept of ecosystem services (ES), the benefits humans derive from ecosystems, is increasingly applied to environmental conservation, human well-being and poverty alleviation, inform development interventions. Payments for (PES) implicitly recognize unequal distribution costs maintaining ES, through monetary compensation ‘winners’ ‘losers’. Some research into PES has examined how such schemes affect poverty, while other literature addresses trade-offs between different ES....
Abstract In the last twenty years, policy prescriptions for addressing global crisis in fisheries have centred on strengthening governance through clarifying exclusive individual or community rights of access to fishery resources. With a focus small‐scale developing‐country particular, we argue that basing case reform assumed economic incentives resource stewardship is insufficient when there are other sources insecurity people’s lives unrelated state We more secure, less vulnerable fishers...
Abstract The accumulation of microplastics in various ecosystems has now been well documented and recent evidence suggests detrimental effects on biological processes due to this pollution. Accumulation the natural environment is ultimately chemical nature widely used petroleum-based plastic polymers, which typically are inaccessible processing. One way mitigate crisis adoption plastics that biodegrade if released into environments. In work, we generated microplastic particles from a...
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are often implemented to conserve or restore species, fisheries, habitats, ecosystems, and ecological functions services; buffer against the effects of climate change; alleviate poverty in coastal communities. Scientific research provides valuable insights into social impacts MPAs, as well factors that shape these impacts, providing useful guidance “rules thumb” for science‐based MPA policy. Both foster effective including substantial coverage...
Over 1.3 billion people live on tropical coasts, primarily in developing countries. Many depend adjacent coastal seas for food, and livelihoods. We show how trends demography several local global anthropogenic stressors are progressively degrading capacity of waters to sustain these people. Far more effective approaches environmental management needed if the loss provision ecosystem goods services is be stemmed. propose expanded use marine spatial planning as a framework effective, pragmatic...
As aquaculture production expands, we must avoid mistakes made during increasing intensification of agriculture. Understanding environmental impacts and measures to mitigate them is important for designing responsible systems. There are four realistic goals that can make future operations more sustainable productive: (1) improvement management practices create efficient diverse systems at every level; (2) emphasis on local decisionmaking, human capacity development, collective action...
Small-scale fisheries (SSFs) engage the vast majority of world's fishers but are struggling to keep pace with coastal populations, and stocks declining levels that threaten reproductive capacity. The provision food livelihoods low-income into future will be unlikely without radical changes policy. We draw on repeating analogies driving a car illustrate fundamental reforms needed for (managing) small-scale fisheries. SSFs continue unsustainable by relying too heavily output controls (the...
