Expectations about ecosystem based management (EBM) differ due to diverging perspectives what EBM should be and how it work. While by its nature requires trade-offs made between ecological, economic social sustainability criteria, the diversity of cross-sectoral perspectives, values, stakes, specificity each individual situation determine outcome these trade-offs. The authors strive raise awareness importance interaction three stakeholder groups (decision makers, scientists, other actors)...
Like most ocean regions today, the European and contiguous seas experience cumulative impacts from local human activities global pressures. They are largely in poor environmental condition with deteriorating trends. Despite several success stories, policies for marine conservation fall short of being effective. Acknowledging challenges conservation, a four-year multi-national network, MarCons, supported collaborative efforts to bridge gap between science, management policy, aiming contribute...
The Aarhus Convention is a globally recognised benchmark for democratic environmental governance. However, no assessment exists on whether European MPAs comply with the legal standards set out by Convention. Here, we focus public authorities' websites as tools promoting transparency, involvement, and processes. We assessed of 61 in thirteen countries using survey structured three pillars Convention: access to information, participation decision-making, justice. show that while most are used...
Organism movement plays a crucial role in the transfer of genes, matter, and energy between habitats, both marine environments across land-sea interface. The numerous fluxes resulting from lifetime trans-generational displacements all species (from bacteria to whales), collectively referred as Marine Functional Connectivity (MFC), underpins planetary health diverse ecosystem services. However, awareness integration this connectivity research, management policy is still limited. Given surging...
Cumulative human impacts have led to the degradation of marine ecosystems and decline biodiversity in European contiguous seas. Effective conservation measures are urgently needed reverse these trends. Conservation must entail societal choices, underpinned by values worldviews that differ between countries bordering Social, economic political heterogeneity adds challenge balancing with sustainable use Comprehensive macro-regional coordination is ensure effective this region. Under Union...
Abstract With increasing activities of multiple sectors in marine spaces, management social–ecological systems requires more holistic approaches. Adopting such an approach, however, presents difficult institutional and disciplinary challenges. Here, we use the International Council for Exploration Sea (ICES) as a case study on implementation ecosystem-based (EBM) integrated ecosystem assessments (IEAs). ICES includes EBM IEAs its Science Priorities established IEA Working Groups (WGs) to...
The Working Group on Maritime Systems (WGMARS) is a forum for interdisciplinary perspectives ecosystem science, advice, and governance. It engages with maritime stakeholders from across the North Atlantic to take into consideration better understand their perspectives. From 2020-2022 WGMARS focused methodological, operational, contextual, science management aspects enabling ecosystem-based management/governance. Topics addressed in this report include ways that behavioural economics could...
