Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a critical part of the marine resource management community's toolbox in seeking sustainable and vibrant global ocean system. The processes community engagement with MPAs, however, rooted pre-existing power dynamics inherent environmental governance systems influenced by historical contexts colonialism. has historically operated top-down manner, imposing exclusionary forms conservation on local communities without affording them equitable process. Meaningful members MPAs been suggested as one key enabling conditions that drive successful protection. Specifically, participatory science methods have potential to engage communities, elevate voices expertise, strengthen both scientific learning. This systematic scoping review assesses peer-reviewed literature understand quality nature used MPAs. highlights that, while not uncommon they seldom challenge existing dynamics. results this show MPA related is generally retained conventional researchers managers.

Despite decades of increasing investment in conservation, we have not succeeded "bending the curve" biodiversity decline. Efforts to meet new targets and goals for next three risk repeating this outcome due factors: neglect drivers decline; unrealistic expectations time frames recovery; insufficient attention justice within between generations across countries. Our Earth system approach identifies six sets actions that when tackled simultaneously address these failings: (1) reduce reverse direct indirect causing (2) halt loss; (3) restore regenerate a safe state; (4) raise minimum wellbeing all; (5) eliminate over-consumption excesses associated with accumulation capital; (6) uphold respect rights responsibilities all communities, present future.

First introduced in the early 2000s, concept of ocean literacy has evolved recent years, not least since its inclusion as a mechanism for change within United Nations Ocean Decade's goals. Building on definitions literacy, there been increasing recognition range additional dimensions which contribute to an individual or collective sense 'ocean literacy'. Drawing existing research, and parallel supporting concepts, e.g., marine citizenship, connectedness, public perceptions this paper proposes ten literacy: knowledge, communication, behaviour, awareness, attitudes, activism, emotional connection, access experience, adaptive capacity trust transparency, recommends expanding previously recognised dimensions, bid ensure that encompasses diverse knowledges, values experiences.

Abstract The term “blue justice” was coined in 2018 during the 3rd World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress. Since then, academic engagement with concept has grown rapidly. This article reviews 5 years of blue justice scholarship and synthesizes some key perspectives, developments, gaps. We then connect this literature to wider relevant debates by reviewing two areas research – first on injustices second grassroots resistance these injustices. Much early focused experienced small-scale fishers context economy. In contrast, more recent writing empirical cases reviewed here suggest that intersecting forms oppression render certain coastal individuals groups vulnerable These developments signal an expansion a broader set affected underlying causes injustice.

Abstract Calls to address social equity in ocean governance are expanding. Yet ‘equity’ is seldom clearly defined. Here we present a framework support contextually-informed assessment of governance. Guiding questions include: (1) Where and (2) Why being examined? (3) Equity for or amongst Whom ? (4) What distributed? (5) When considered? And (6) How do structures impact equity? The supports consistent operationalization equity, challenges oversimplification, allows evaluation progress.

In a marine environment that is rapidly changing due to anthropogenic activities and climate change, area-based management tools are often used mitigate threats conserve biodiversity. Marine protected areas (MPAs) amongst the most widespread recognized conservation worldwide, however, MPAs alone inadequate address environmental crisis. The promotion of other effective measures (OECMs) under draft Target 3 Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, i.e., conserving 30% by 2030, holds promise acknowledge sites practices occurring beyond contribute conservation. Here, we evaluate potential recognition OECMs into Indonesia's national policy framework on resource provide first-ever overview distribution types in Indonesia, including review existing evidence effectiveness. We identified > 390 OECMs, led government, customary local communities, or private sector, towards diverse objectives, habitat protection, traditional/customary management, fisheries, tourism, purposes.
