Mapping research at the nexus of resilience, wellbeing, and environmental sustainability in UK marine and coastal areas
Resilience is a burgeoning research and policy priority in the UK, adding to existing interest in how to safeguard marine environmental health and improve peoples' wellbeing.Our understanding of the interlinkages among these three concepts is growing, yet there has been no comprehensive documentation of the evidence that considers social resilience alongside human wellbeing and/ or environmental sustainability.A map of the existing evidence that …
Navigating tricky trade-offs in busy seas
The expanding blue economy intensifies competition for marine resources worldwide, necessitating trade-offs among sectors, stakeholders, and ecosystems. Our qualitative research examined how these marine trade-offs are managed in England and the implications for blue (social) justice. Through a desk review and interviews with marine managers and policy-makers we found that trade-offs are not addressed systematically, with decision-making biased b…
Does spending time with nature affect people’s desire to protect it? A case study of Nigerian beachgoers
This study explores the intricate relationship between beach conservation and human behaviour, focusing on beachgoers in Lagos State, Nigeria. It underlines the importance of nature connection in determining people’s willingness to pay (WTP) for the management and preservation of coastal ecosystems. As well as providing spaces for recreation, beaches provide vital ecosystem services such as flood protection and contributions to biodiversity, but …
Triple Bottom Line or Trilemma? Global Tradeoffs Between Prosperity, Inequality, and the Environment
A key aim of sustainable development is the joint achievement of prosperity, equality, and environmental integrity: in other words, material living standards that are high, broadly-distributed, and low-impact. This has often been called the “triple bottom line”. But instead, what if there is a “trilemma” that inhibits the simultaneous achievement of these three goals? We analysed international patterns and trends in the relationships between per-…
Practitioner approaches to trade‐off decision‐making in marine conservation development
Mounting evidence suggests that win‐wins are elusive and trade‐offs are the norm in marine conservation development practice. The status quo involves trade‐offs, and any change brought to ecosystems, economies and societies will alter the distribution of costs and benefits, creating other winners and losers among ecosystem services, sectors and people. While studies are increasingly acknowledging the prevalence of trade‐offs, this article analyse…
Polycentricity in practice
Environmental governance systems are expanding in size and complexity as they become more integrated and ecosystem-based. In doing so, governance transitions often involve more actors and knowingly or unknowingly alter the autonomy of actors to make decisions, and thereby the ability of the governance system to self-organise. In other words, these governance systems are becoming increasingly polycentric, moving towards an institutional structure …
Doing marine spatial zoning in coastal marine tropics
Zoning is an important tool in marine spatial planning (MSP) for balancing the multi-uses of the marine environment. Whilst mainly developed conceptually and implemented in Europe and North America, marine zoning is becoming a popular tool for addressing diverse coastal marine issues in the tropics. However, we know little about how it is being implemented in practice in that context. In this study, we analysed the factors and strategies that ena…
Environmental behaviours within ecological and social limits
There is a pressing need to reduce inequalities and bring everyone above a foundational level of well-being whilst simultaneously staying within planetary boundaries. Yet, there is a limited understanding of how moving into and maintaining such 'safe and just' spaces affect environmental behaviours. To fill this gap, we argue for integrating human well-being and behaviour research. In particular, to 1) implement social thresholds when investigati…
Reconciling well-being and resilience for sustainable development
Multiple impact pathways of the 2015–2016 El Niño in coastal Kenya
The 2015–2016 El Niño had large impacts globally. The effects were not as great as anticipated in Kenya, however, leading some commentators to call it a ‘non-event’. Our study uses a novel combination of participatory Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis tools, and new and existing social and biophysical data, to analyse vulnerability to, and the multidimensional impacts of, the 2015–2016 El Niño episode in southern coastal Kenya. Using a …
The Gendered Nature of Ecosystem Services
This article assesses the extent to which our conceptualisation, understanding and empirical analysis of ecosystem services are inherently gendered; in other words, how they might be biased and unbalanced in terms of their appreciation of gender differences. We do this by empirically investigating how women and men are able to benefit from ecosystem services across eight communities in coastal Kenya and Mozambique. Our results highlight different…
