Community-based conservation can support livelihoods and biodiversity, while reinforcing local Indigenous values, cultures, institutions. Its delivery help address cross-cutting global challenges, such as climate change, conservation, poverty, food security. Therefore, understanding trends in community-based is pertinent to setting implementing goals. We undertook a horizon scan prioritize 15 emerging threats opportunities expected impact the future effectiveness of conservation.

Abstract The Bird's Head Seascape (BHS), Papua, Indonesia is located within the epicenter of global marine biodiversity and has been focus recent conservation efforts to protect resources. Here, we provide an overview Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) progress in BHS over past decade, including establishment history, changes management effectiveness ecosystem health, as well examining trends tourism growth. While generally viewed a success story, reflect on both successes challenges BHS, identifying where need continue improve adapt response rapid economic environmental change. As 2020, MPAs cover 5.1 million ha across 23 MPAs. expected, steadily increasing MPAs—although newer face substantial capacity gaps. Tourism rapidly growing—with almost 3,000% increase tourist visits between 2007 2018. Overall, hard coral monitored remained stable at 33% from 2010 2019, although reef fish biomass were more variable. Given continued region, are successfully preventing loss while providing services for local communities.

The intersection of potential global targets and commitments for ocean conservation with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has resulted an opportunity to rethink future marine area-based tools, particularly protected conserved areas (MPCAs).As MPCAs continue provide essential ecological, social economic services, current approaches establishing managing these require understanding factors that drive pressures they face.We briefly review their status pre-pandemic overview impacts informed primarily by 15 case studies.Impacts are two kinds: those affecting livelihoods well-being local communities stakeholders depend on MPCA; which affect management governance MPCA itself.Responses from managers have addressed: resources; income food security; monitoring enforcement; seafood supply chains; communication amongst managers, community members other stakeholders.Finally, we discuss innovative tools scaling transformational change, emphasising synergies between sustainable livelihoods, how relate principles equity resilience.

As marine spatial planning (MSP) continues to gain global prominence as an approach ocean governance, planners and other stakeholders are eager evaluate its social ecological outcomes better understand whether plans achieving their intended results in equitable cost-efficient manner. While a plan's for environments coastal communities may be of particular interest, these cannot separated from processes. The field has yet fully develop the guidance necessary this critical consideration how features MSP process external factors interact with plan performance outcomes. To fill gap we used literature review expert discussions identify 19 enabling or disabling conditions within four major categories: Plan Attributes, Legal Context, Development Social Integration. We propose semi-quantitative scoring development narratives operationalize framework part comprehensive methodology outcome evaluation. Applying can add depth quantitative evaluation, shed light on questions attribution, inform adaptation. Evaluating explicit context identified here stimulate discussion around what works provide path forward assessing benefits costs worldwide. By identifying instrumental effective MSP, alternatively, hindering plan, guide adaptation promote learning across wider community.

ABSTRACT High spatial or temporal variability in community composition makes it challenging for natural resource managers to predict ecosystem trajectories at scales relevant management. This is commonly the case nearshore marine environments, where frequency and intensity of disturbance events vary sub‐kilometer meter scale, creating a patchwork successional stages within single ecosystem. The stage impacts its stability, recovery potential, trajectory over time predictable ways. Here we demonstrate value theory interpreting fine‐scale heterogeneity using Hawaiian coral reefs as study. We tracked benthic dynamics on 36 forereefs 6‐year period (2017–2023) that captures from high surf events, heatwave, unprecedented shifts human behavior due COVID‐19 pandemic. document variation was only partially explained by island environmental regime. Through hierarchical clustering, identify three distinct types appear represent different reef development. Reefs belonging same type exhibited similar rates change cover structural complexity time, more so than located island. Importantly, communities were indicative early succession (low dominated stress‐tolerant corals) most likely experience an increase while later‐stage decline. Our findings highlight influence life history trajectories. Accounting these factors, not simply overall cover, essential designing effective management interventions.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) require sustained funding to provide marine protection. Up until now government budgets, multi- and bi-lateral aid, philanthropic grants have been commonly relied upon finance the management enforcement of MPAs. But new mechanisms, such as impact investments or blue carbon, are increasingly applied developed. Here, we present a semi-structured review that identifies 11 more sources finance, 21 financial instruments than 75 potential combinations thereof show current diversity mechanisms available support MPA establishment operations. Based on review, developed nearly 100 indicators reflecting environmental, governmental, socioeconomic, characteristics can inform appropriateness, corresponding strengths weaknesses, applying these any given MPA.
