‘State of the Environment’ reports require integrated and holistic approaches – Lessons from Australia’s marine experience
Open AccessRowan Trebilco, Cass Hunter et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2025
Regular assessments of the ‘state of the environment’ are common approaches implemented to track and guide sustainable management of marine social-ecological systems at scales ranging from local to global. In Australia, a regular national State of the Environment Report (SoE) is required as a legislative requirement and tabled in Parliament by the relevant Minister. Each SoE comprises a set of thematic reports, authored by independent domain expe…
Best bang for your buck: Considerations for cost-efficiency in knowledge co-production
Open AccessDenis B Karcher, Christopher Cvitanovic et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2025
Knowledge co-production is a key strategy of collaborative engagement between research and management to achieve better outcomes. Whereas the principles of knowledge co-production in support of evidence-informed policy-making are increasingly understood, our understanding of its cost-efficiency - putting benefits in relation to its cost - is in its infancy. Here, we approach this gap by exploring the key considerations for ensuring that the benef…

Adaption planning to climate change in industrial fisheries: Progress in the Basque tropical tuna fishery
Open AccessIratxe Rubio, Alistair J Hobday et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2024
Climate change impacts on ocean living organisms and ecosystems have flow-on effects on fisheries and their associated values. Industrial fisheries operate long distance fleets that potentially have the capacity to respond to such impacts by using technology and changing the timing and distribution of fishing effort. However, long-term adaptation to climate change in industrial fisheries entails larger structural changes that include adaptive man…
Foresighting future oceans: Considerations and opportunities
Open AccessRachel Kelly, Paul Foley et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2022
Stakeholder influence and relationships inform engagement strategies in marine conservation
Open AccessSierra Ison, Gretta T Pecl et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2021
Many current marine conservation approaches do not adequately consider the diverse social elements and human aspects necessary to achieve conservation outcomes. The results of conservation research are therefore not always useful for conservation managers to apply in practice. To address this gap, this study combines qualitative methods and quantitative social network analysis to help conservation managers gain in-depth insight into social elemen…

Adaptation pathways for conservation law and policy
Open AccessJan Mcdonald, Phillipa C Mccormack et al.ARTICLEWiley Interdisciplinary Reviews…2018Cited by: 1References: 2
Globally, biodiversity is under increasing pressure from human activities despite protective measures in conservation laws. Climate change will exacerbate those pressures and the effects of habitat loss and species decline. Current approaches to conservation law in most countries focus on establishing protected areas and limiting activities outside reserves that might affect priority species, habitats, and ecological communities. These measures h…
Biodiversity redistribution under climate change: Impacts on ecosystems and human well-being
Open AccessGretta T Pecl, Miguel B Araújo et al.ARTICLEScience2017
Consequences of shifting species distributions Climate change is causing geographical redistribution of plant and animal species globally. These distributional shifts are leading to new ecosystems and ecological communities, changes that will affect human society. Pecl et al. review these current and future impacts and assess their implications for sustainable development goals. Science , this issue p. eaai9214

From science to action: Principles for undertaking environmental research that enables knowledge exchange and evidence-based decision-making
Open AccessChristopher Cvitanovic, Jan Mcdonald et al.ARTICLEJournal of Environmental Management2016
Effective conservation requires knowledge exchange among scientists and decision-makers to enable learning and support evidence-based decision-making. Efforts to improve knowledge exchange have been hindered by a paucity of empirically-grounded guidance to help scientists and practitioners design and implement research programs that actively facilitate knowledge exchange. To address this, we evaluated the Ningaloo Research Program (NRP), which wa…
The Environmental Impact of Two Australian Rock Lobster Fishery Supply Chains under a Changing Climate
Open AccessElizabeth I Van Putten, Ingrid E Van Putten et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2016
Understanding the potential future impacts of climate change along the supply chain for highly traded fisheries products can inform choices to enhance future global seafood security. We examine the supply chains of the Australian tropical rock lobster fishery (TRL) and southern rock lobster fishery (SRL), with similar destination markets but different catch methods and fishing communities. A boat‐to‐market analysis allows for comparison and illus…
Improving knowledge exchange among scientists and decision-makers to facilitate the adaptive governance of marine resources: A review of knowledge and research needs
Open AccessChristopher Cvitanovic, Alistair J Hobday et al.ARTICLEOcean & Coastal Management2015
The science-based management of natural resources requires knowledge exchange between scientists and environmental decision-makers, however, this exchange remains a significant challenge. Rather, evidence suggests that decision-makers rely on individual experience or other secondary sources of knowledge in isolation from scientific evidence when formulating decisions, potentially compromising the effectiveness of their decisions. As a result a ne…
Rapid assessment of an ocean warming hotspot reveals “high” confidence in potential species’ range extensions
Open AccessLucy M Robinson, Daniel C Gledhill et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2015Cited by: 4
Shifts in species’ ranges are one of the most frequently reported and globally ubiquitous impacts of climate change, with rates of movement being particularly high in the sea. The arrival of multiple range extending species can cause serious issues for natural resource managers; some species threaten ecosystem function while others present social and/or economic opportunities. An early indication of which species are potentially extending their r…
