Abstract Many studies have examined the performance of locally managed marine reserves in the Philippines but the effectiveness of nationally managed marine reserves under the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act is poorly understood. This study assessed the biomass and trophic structure of reef fishes inside and outside marine reserves from seven NIPAS seascapes. These were compared to other protected seascapes being proposed for inclusion under the NIPAS. Total fish biomass was higher inside marine reserves than outside; however, the effect of protection was not evident when total biomass of commercially valued families was compared. Furthermore, the total biomass of commercially important fishes was lower in NIPAS reefs and fell below threshold values for sustaining fisheries. No difference in trophic structure was found between inside and outside marine reserves in both NIPAS and non-NIPAS reefs. In addition, the relative biomass of predatory fishes (trophic levels ≥ 4) was smaller in reefs with low fish biomass (<25 mt km−2; which describes many NIPAS reefs), than those with higher total fish biomass. The overfished state and depauperate predator biomass of NIPAS reefs may be attributed to poor enforcement of no-take regulations and lack of stakeholder engagement, suggesting the need for improved management.

Abstract In the context of increasing climate change, fishery-based livelihoods as major means of income and well-beings for millions of population in coastal communities around the world are most affected. Yet, available information how fishery-based livelihood system at local level are vulnerable to climate change, especially in developing countries is very limited. Using an indicator-based vulnerability assessment framework, this study examined the household-level vulnerability of fishery-based livelihoods in two coastal communities in Central Vietnam. The results showed that the nature and degree of livelihood vulnerability to climate change among fishing households depend on their own characteristics and conditions as well as accessibility to livelihood diversification opportunities. Developing appropriate adaptation policies and coastal management measures to reduce livelihood vulnerability should enhance positive indicators of household’s adaptive capacity and create a better environment for alternative livelihood opportunities.

Abstract Coastal managers are faced with the challenge of managing sites to maintain or improve their quality. The quality of each coastal site is characterized by site attributes that visitors care about. Since coastal managers face financial constraints, it is useful to know which are the site attributes with the highest implicit value for visitors and thus determine the change in attributes that yields the most benefits. However, estimates of implicit value of site attributes should be both valid and reliable to be informative for coastal managers. If coastal sites present similar characteristics, the data can suffer from lack of variation that can lead to unreliable estimated implicit values. We first present our strategy relying on simulation that confirms that our estimates are unbiased, but only a subset of these is reliable. We then apply the discrete choice model to explain recreational beach site choice by using two alternative models with a view to increase precision of our estimates. We uncover preference heterogeneity by relying on observable group characteristics. We illustrate the policy-relevance of our approach by providing welfare estimates for three scenarios currently being considered by Norwegian beach managers.

Abstract Surf breaks and surfing areas exemplify the human dimensions of coastal ecosystems—places connecting people and nature and from which history, culture, tradition, economic activity, and even political conflict emerge. We employed a signature policy instrument of American historic preservation, the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), as a context to both evaluate and ultimately recognize these connections through public policy at California’s famed Malibu surfing area. The Malibu Historic District is the first National Register listing centered on surfing history and the first continental United States surfing area protected for its cultural and historic significance. This model of surf break protection: (1) is explicitly site-specific, (2) aims to not just consider historic significance but secure specific legal protections and provisions because of it, (3) places surfing within the set of claims regarding historical, cultural, and economic significance, and (4) secures protections based directly on significance. The analysis of natural sites through frameworks such as the National Register, as a rationale for other surf breaks and a qualifying step for additional protections at Malibu, is well-suited to California’s particular coastal resource management environment.
摘要冲浪区和冲浪区体现了沿海生态系统的人类维度——连接人与自然的地方，历史、文化、传统、经济活动甚至政治冲突都是从这里产生的。我们采用了美国历史保护的标志性政策工具——国家历史遗迹登记册（National Register of historic Places，简称National Register）作为背景，通过加州著名的马里布冲浪区的公共政策来评估并最终承认这些联系。马里布历史区是第一个以冲浪历史为中心的国家登记区，也是第一个因其文化和历史意义而受到保护的美国大陆冲浪区。这种冲浪保护模式：（1）明确针对特定地点，（2）不仅考虑历史意义，还因此确保具体的法律保护和规定，（3）将冲浪置于关于历史、文化和经济意义的一系列主张范围内，（4）直接基于意义确保保护。通过国家登记册等框架对自然遗址进行分析，作为其他冲浪休息的理由和马里布额外保护的合格步骤，非常适合加利福尼亚州特定的海岸资源管理环境。

Abstract Results of a vulnerability assessment of the Indian River Lagoon to climate change indicate future risks to water quality can be mitigated through adaptation actions targeting anticipated increases in pollutant loads from wastewater treatment plants, on site treatment and disposal systems, and surface water storage and conveyance infrastructure. Nine adaptation actions are recommended and if successfully implemented could reduce risks caused by climate change by fifty percent. The mitigating benefits of these actions are expected to cascade into other elements of the Lagoon, like living resources and habitats. The results and recommendations of this investigation are novel because they are based upon site-specific data and anticipated risks prioritized using a repeatable and defensible methodology. Furthermore, the focus and deliverables were informed by stakeholder involvement to facilitate utility to and implementation by resource practitioners. The next challenge is to implement, monitor, and revise each adaptation action as warranted. This will require a substantial increase in funding dedicated to the Lagoon’s restoration and coherently managed for decades. Strengthened collaboration between local, state, and federal programs is necessary to enhance the probability of successfully reducing future climate-related water quality impairments and facilitating the emergence of a more resilient, climate-ready estuary.

Abstract İçmeler Bay’ recreational coast, Dilek Peninsula Büyük Menderes Delta National Park, was surveyed to determine visitor-sourced litter types and cleanliness levels. Litter types and pollution were compared in terms of recreational uses and esthetic quality. Visitors rated the offensiveness of 17 several litter items that were found in the Bay. Finally, visitors evaluated the cleanliness and crowdedness of the Bay and the adequacy of trash cans. Litters were counted at 192 samplings, and 384 questionnaires were completed from July to August 2018. The results indicate that OR (Organic litter) (53.14%) and PL (plastic) (29.06%) were the common litter material in the litter composition. The cleanliness level was C (Dirty) (grades on A-D). A weakly significant negative correlation (r = –0.463, p = 0.000) was found between the offensiveness ranks of the litter types and the abundance of these litter types in the park. The park was dirty (69%), crowded (72.7%), and the numbers of facilities were insufficient (59.4%) according to most visitors. For minimizing the environmental and social impacts of littering, it is considered that the visitor management plan should be prepared urgently and littering management actions should be defined in this plan. Eight categories of direct and indirect management actions are recommended.

Abstract For almost 30 years, Xiamen has been consistent with its Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) practices. In this paper, the authors aim to critically evaluate how Xiamen’s ICM practices have evolved through time and to also determine its outcomes. These began with the establishment of an ICM governance framework that provided a solid foundation for its subsequent actions. Next, the city has implemented marine ecosystem rehabilitation per region, which eventually led to great improvements in the environment and its landscape. In line with this, the scaling up of ICM to watershed management has been observed to have largely reduced terrestrial pollutants. Based on the improved environment, development opportunities, and industrial adjustment brought about by these previous actions, Xiamen is now aiming to achieve overall land-sea management and Blue Growth. Xiamen’s ICM practices are guided by a step-by-step approach that has fully integrated both aspects of local government and science and ecosystem. Still, alongside building a functional marine economy, terrestrial coordination, regional cooperation, public participation, and local coastal development policies need to be further strengthened in the future. We hope our findings can help Xiamen’s ICM practices to develop in a more scientific and sustainable direction while, at the same time, serve as a guide to coastal cities faced with similar management problems.

Abstract Developing a comprehensive portfolio of theoretically sound indicators is fundamental to effective place-based management of coastal ecosystems at a wide range of scales. We reviewed indicator development case studies from seven different social-ecological systems over the first 10 years of the NOAA integrated ecosystem assessment (IEA) program, with the goals of identifying effective strategies and highlighting general principles that would inform future efforts. The IEA framework provided a versatile approach to developing indicators across a diverse range of differently scaled systems and partnerships, guided by organizing principles of screening transparency, iterative review, and an adaptive balance between quantitative evaluation methods and qualitative stakeholder guidance. Information exchange across the broad community of EBM practitioners facilitated progress between systems, chronologically tracking a path that reflected improvements in indicator development methods (especially for social indicators) and a growing focus on multisector EBM in smaller coastal communities. Most projects adopted innovative visual imagery to engage partners and stakeholders, which built trust and communication while enhancing the spectrum of indicators. Using guidance from the lessons above, future indicator development efforts will be better prepared to confront the recurring, transdisciplinary challenges of managing integrated social-ecological systems.

Abstract Science-based natural resource management is necessary for agencies to effectively meet their goals and mandates. However, this scientific basis needs to be advanced and evolved with ecosystems experiencing unprecedented events that challenge conventional management frameworks. Effectively managing marine resources and achieving agency missions requires more than meeting independent mandates and managing individual resources as chronic stressors overwhelm conventional management frameworks. Global science organizations are transitioning to interdisciplinary and holistic research to integrate human well-being as a key outcome. The United States’ principal federal agency tasked with managing coastal and marine ecosystems is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA’s vision is “healthy ecosystems, communities and economies that are resilient in the face of change”. NOAA adopted the Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) approach to conduct the collaborative science necessary for ecosystem-based management. IEAs have been employed for over a decade to develop science, tools, and collaborations that address complex ecosystem challenges and make progress toward NOAA’s vision. This paper demonstrates, through case studies, how scientists, stakeholders, and managers build trust and meaningful relationships from the IEA approach. These case studies further demonstrate how the IEA approach can be adapted to various geographic and management scales to build trust with partners and provide the ecosystem science, including social science, required to build resilient coastal ecosystems, communities, and economies.

Abstract In the marine science community of practice, the concept of ecosystem-based management (EBM) is a management strategy that incorporates the entire ecosystem, including humans, into resource management decisions and is growing in its use to integrate and manage complex social and marine ecosystems. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA) program uses a multidisciplinary framework to help advance EBM and to manage marine resources in an ecosystem context. NOAA has conducted integrated ecosystem assessment research for many years, however, 2020 was the 10-year anniversary of implementation of NOAA’s formal IEA framework around the country. This Coastal Management Journal special issue discusses the ten-plus years of IEA experiences with perspectives about and successes in the development and implementation of the NOAA IEA approach. This volume on the NOAA IEA program comprises six manuscripts ranging in content from the history and origin of IEAs in NOAA, to the development and application of IEA components to advance the tenets of EBM in coastal and marine environments.
