  • Linking deep-sea biological communities (biotopes), ecological processes and ecosystem services

    Open AccessGiulia La Bianca, Kerry L Howell et al.ARTICLEEcosystems and People2026

    The Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) encourages the application of area-based management tools for the protection of biodiversity (so-called 30 by 30). The GBF sets out that biodiversity-ecosystem service assessments and information on location and the spatial extent of the ecosystem are needed to ensure understanding and effective management of biodiversity and natural resources. Habitat mapping is an essential element of thi…

  • Participatory community mapping to include sociocultural dimensions in ocean governance

    Open AccessMia Strand, Nina Rivers et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2026References: 9

    Methods to include sociocultural dimensions in ocean governance are important, but not well developed. Here we provide a methodology for participatory community mapping of sociocultural dimensions attached to the ocean and coast. The research adapted a mapping methodology with 65 local coastal community members as co-researchers in three focus areas of South Africa, embracing deep and careful work to contextualise the process. Specifically, we pr…

  • A two way process – Social capacity as a driver and outcome of equitable marine spatial planning

    Open AccessCéline Jacob, Sereno Duprey Diederichsen et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    Although stakeholder engagement is one of the founding principles of marine spatial planning (MSP), meaningful representation of people and their connections to marine resources within marine governance is still lacking. A broad understanding of how concepts surrounding social capital and capacity is translated into MSP practice is missing. With this article, we describe detailed case studies in the United Kingdom, Brazil and South Africa to buil…

  • Principles for transformative ocean governance

    Open AccessAmanda T Lombard, Jai Kumar Clifford-Holmes et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2023Cited by: 1References: 8

    With a focus on oceans, we collaborated across ecological, social and legal disciplines to respond to the United Nations call for transformation in the ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’. We developed a set of 13 principles that strategically and critically connect transformative ocean research to transformative ocean governance (complementing the UN Decade for Ocean Science). We used a rigorous, iterative and transparent consensus-buildin…

  • Knowing But Not Doing

    Open AccessA T Knight, Richard M Cowling et al.ARTICLEConservation Biology2008

    Conservation assessment is a rapidly evolving discipline whose stated goal is the design of networks of protected areas that represent and ensure the persistence of nature (i.e., species, habitats, and environmental processes) by separating priority areas from the activities that degrade or destroy them. Nevertheless, despite a burgeoning scientific literature that ever refines these techniques for allocating conservation resources, it is widely …
