A risk-based approach to cumulative effect assessments for marine management

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 612, С. 1132 - 1140

Опубликована: Сен. 8, 2017

Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by the cumulative effects of multiple human pressures. Cumulative effect assessments (CEAs) needed to inform environmental policy and guide ecosystem-based management. Yet, CEAs inherently complex seldom linked real-world management processes. Therefore we propose entrenching in a risk process, comprising steps identification, analysis evaluation. We provide guidance operationalize risk-based approach describing for each step guiding principles desired outcomes, scientific challenges practical solutions. reviewed treatment uncertainty contribution different tools data sources implementation based CEAs. show that decreases complexity, allows transparent streamlines uptake outcomes into science-policy interface. Hence, its adoption can help bridging gap between science decision-making

Biological invasions have become a defining feature of marine Mediterranean ecosystems with significant impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human health.We systematically reviewed the current knowledge biological in Sea.We screened relevant literature applied standardised framework that classifies mechanisms magnitude type evidence.Overall, 103 alien cryptogenic species were analysed, 59 which associated both negative positive impacts, 17 to only negative, 13 positive; no found for 14 species.Evidence most reported (52%) was medium strength, but 32% impact reports evidence weak, based solely expert judgement.Only 16% experimental studies.Our assessment allowed us create an inventory 88 from 16 different phyla moderate high impacts.The ten worst invasive terms biodiversity include six algae, two fishes, molluscs, green alga Caulerpa cylindracea ranking first.Negative prevailed over ones.Competition resources, creation novel habitat through engineering, predation primary effects.Most cases combined referred community-level modifications.Overall, more than this varied depending service.For health, recorded.Substantial variation among ecoregions taxonomic identity impacting species.There increases residence time.Holistic approaches research constitute way forward better understanding managing invasions.

Addressing the cumulative impacts of multiple human pressures in marine systems, for the sustainable use of the seas

Human activities at sea have increased, causing subsequent degradation of ocean health and affecting ecosystem services societal goods benefits. Climate change further exacerbates the cumulative effects these their associated pressures. Hence, effective management multiple is imperative to ensure sustainable use ocean. In response challenges, we developed a comprehensive conceptual framework model within an ecosystem-based approach. This encompasses versatile toolbox designed assess pressures environmental status under European Marine Strategy Framework Directive, in compliance with Birds Habitats Directives requirements need secure maintenance provision Although examples current discussion, consider that there are similar challenges many seas worldwide so recommendations here widely applicable. Our aim facilitate validation, harmonization, demonstration this across regional several countries, different scales, from local regional, including overseas territories. approach aims foster comparability assessments. We anticipate proposed methodologies will serve as foundational benchmark against which progress can be assessed line expectations policy requirements. Additionally, work prepares groundwork for forthcoming evaluation suitability, robustness, applicability solutions tools, thereby assisting managers achieving Good Environmental Status (GES), both wider global contexts, address common worldwide.

Economic costs of invasive alien species in the Mediterranean basin

NeoBiota, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 67, С. 427 - 458

Опубликована: Июль 29, 2021

Invasive alien species (IAS) negatively impact the environment and undermine human well-being, often resulting in considerable economic costs. The Mediterranean basin is a culturally, socially economically diverse region, harbouring many IAS that threaten societal integrity multiple ways. This paper first attempt to collectively quantify reported costs of basin, across range taxonomic, temporal spatial descriptors. We identify correlates from invasion damages management expenditures among key socioeconomic variables, determine network structures link countries invasive taxonomic groups. total amounted $27.3 billion, or $3.6 billion when only realised were considered, found have occurred over last three decades. Our understanding invasions was largely limited few, primarily western European terrestrial ecosystems, despite known presence numerous high-impact aquatic taxa. vast majority attributed losses ($25.2 billion) mostly driven by France, Spain lesser extent Italy Libya, with significantly fewer expenditure ($1.7 billion). Overall, increased through time, average annual between 1990 2017 estimated at $975.5 million. lack information large proportion countries, reflected connectivity analysis relationship highlights limits available data research effort needed improve collective different facets biological invasions. associated sheds light on knowledge gaps provides baseline for Mediterranean-centric approach towards building policies designing coordinated responses. In turn, these could help reach desirable outcomes efficient use resources invested management.

Trends and Evolution in the Concept of Marine Ecosystem Services: An Overview

Water, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 13(15), С. 2060 - 2060

Опубликована: Июль 29, 2021

The biotic and abiotic assets of the marine environment form “marine natural capital” embedded in global ocean. Marine capital provides flow ecosystem services” that are directly used or enjoyed by people providing benefits to human well-being. They include provisioning services (e.g., food), regulation maintenance carbon sequestration storage, coastal protection), cultural tourism recreational benefits). In recent decades, activities have increased pressures on ecosystems, often leading degradation biodiversity loss and, turn, affecting their ability provide humans. Therefore, effective management strategies crucial conservation healthy diverse ecosystems ensuring long-term generation goods services. Biophysical, economic, sociocultural assessments much needed convey importance resources managers policy makers supporting development implementation policies oriented for sustainable resources. addition, accounting service values can be usefully complemented mapping enable identification priority areas facilitate science–policy dialogue. Given this premise, study aims review trends evolution concept particular, scientific literature is explored focusing following main aspects: definition classification services; due anthropogenic pressures, alternative assessment, approaches; inclusion into decision-making processes.
