Published: Jan. 16, 2024

Understanding aspects of maritime/underwater cultural heritage (MUCH) and the associated values integrating them into maritime spatial planning (MSP) processes is a new global challenge alongside rapid increase in human activities at sea climate change impacts on seas oceans. This article highlights significance shaping interactions with marine environments how MSP can address dimensions resources management. The key research question addresses prerequisites methods for better incorporation MUCH processes. review revealed diversity literature addressing inclusion (a) coastal management but also (b) marine/maritime (346 articles from Scopus database). In first case, there strong focus ecosystem services (CES) values, role indigenous local communities, transfer traditional ecological knowledge, participatory approaches tools. As latter, this demonstrated quite lot relatively recent endeavors that seem to be influenced by above identified literature. concludes MSPlans innovative mainly acceptable “missing layer” socio-cultural data indispensable.

Coastal Cultural Ecosystem Services: A Bridge between the Natural Ecosystem and Social Ecosystem for Sustainable Development

Land, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(9), P. 1352 - 1352

Published: Aug. 25, 2024

Cultural Ecosystem Services (CESs), as non-material benefits and well-being provided by ecosystems to humans, possess the ability bridge nature human society interpret their complex interrelationships. Coastal areas are regions with concentrated activities, where coastal zones often subject development, pollution, degradation. Compared other ecosystems, face greater pressures threats, cultural services they provide more vulnerable. Research on ecosystem needs consider vulnerability find ways protect restore functions. Therefore, this paper explores intrinsic logical system feasibility of guiding natural resource management enhancing through CESs, discussing related research data acquisition, method analysis, perceptual application. Based this, analyzes development trends CESs in from aspects such biodiversity, human–nature interaction processes, heritage conservation, local economic community management. Finally, it proposes advancing in-depth perspectives integrating multi-source data, interdisciplinary incorporating into policy making, providing theoretical support for systematic study rational utilization sustainable development.

Pathways to integrate Indigenous and local knowledge in ocean governance processes: Lessons from the Algoa Bay Project, South Africa

Frontiers in Marine Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: Jan. 6, 2023

The Introduction of this paper argues that current coastal and ocean management approaches like marine spatial planning (MSP) often do not adequately acknowledge integrate Indigenous Local Knowledge (ILK). This is problematic because how humans value perceive resources integrally linked to they use manage these resources, especially in adapting social-ecological change. Coastal are situated within complex systems culturally, economically, historically politically embedded. Therefore, have transdisciplinary contextual perspectives order be relevant, sustainable adaptive. Following extensive research Algoa Bay, South Africa article highlights several pathways bridge the gap between existing ILK approaches. Methods section discusses authors worked tandem with a bottom-up (engaging local resource users) top-down governance authorities practitioners) approach. In answer primary question “How can integrated into area-based MSP”? employed arts-based participatory methods as well in-depth interviews workshops practitioners over months. work then culminated one-day multi-stakeholder workshop which brought both holders together collaboratively identify knowledge management. Results Discussion present discuss five co-identified include: adopting management; increasing transparency two-way communication users; access relevant useable information; reviewing amending MSP legislation towards stronger connection legislation; pertaining areas. Conclusion it argued communities want meaningfully included their coastline managed also seek increased By highlighting include themselves, seeks contribute improved protection use.

The needs and challenges of the Blue Economy sector in Portugal: bridging national and European strategies with the perceptions of the stakeholders

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 384, P. 125468 - 125468

With a coastline of approximately 2500 km2, Portugal has one the largest European Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), with its delimitation beyond 200 nautical miles under review. The sea, including sustainable exploitation natural resources and maritime activities, is cross-cutting National 2030 Strategy for Smart Specialization (NSSS2030), foundation Ocean 2021-2030 (NOS2030). Therefore, great interest, but also challenges, in knowledge ocean processes, monitoring their environmental status, spatial planning, role development economic growth. In this study, participatory workshop stakeholders from diverse sectors across value chain was carried out to co-identify main needs challenges sector analyze alignment these identified NSSS2030, NOS2023, EU-Roadmap Blue Bioeconomy Green Deal. Through two-stage workshop, interested parties provided 101 topics information present near future (5-year period) identify priority areas Portugal's sector.

Destructive fishing: An expert‐driven definition and exploration of this quasi‐concept

Conservation Letters, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(3)

Published: March 28, 2024

Abstract Numerous policy and international frameworks consider that “destructive fishing” hampers efforts to reach sustainability goals. Though ubiquitous, is undefined therefore currently immeasurable. Here we propose a definition developed through expert consultation: “Destructive fishing any practice causes irrecoverable habitat degradation, or which significant adverse environmental impacts, results in long‐term declines target nontarget species beyond biologically safe limits has negative livelihood impacts.” We show strong stakeholder support for definition, consensus on many biological ecological dimensions, no clustering of respondents from different sectors. Our step toward defining sustainable fisheries goals will help interpret implement global political commitments utilize the term fishing.” reinforce Food Agricultural Organization's Code Conduct meaningfully member countries prohibit destructive practices.

Climate change is predicted to have severe impacts on coastal communities, including sea level rise, flooding, and erosion, expected reshape many coastlines. One further, often overlooked, consequence of the climate crisis threat posed cultural heritage sites in zone. The (CCH) will inevitably impact both tangible (physical material) intangible (socio-cultural) components cultural, historical, archaeological character along frontline communities. This poses substantial sustainability challenges for stakeholders decision-makers management assets practices respond increasing threats from change. paper uses five illustrative examples based maximum variation principles evaluate different strategies (or ‘steering’ processes) managing resources context These include traditional ‘preservationist’ perspective trajectories discontinuity or transformation. We examine these issues with reference post-European located East Coast USA. While a consideration steering processes important, we argue that it necessary also embrace policies adapting mitigating through which CCH unfold. Adopting such can lead more nuanced approaches understanding how changing climate.
