  • Putting coastal communities at the center of a sustainable blue economy

    Open AccessLouisa Evans, Louisa S Evans et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Political Science2023

    New approaches to ocean governance for coastal communities are needed. With few exceptions, the status quo does not meet the diverse development aspirations of coastal communities or ensure healthy oceans for current and future generations. The blue economy is expected to grow to USD2.5–3 trillion by 2030, and there is particular interest in its potential to alleviate poverty in Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States, and to…

  • Securing a Just Space for Small-Scale Fisheries in the Blue Economy

    Open AccessPhilippa J Cohen, Edward H Allison et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Marine Science2019

    The vast development opportunities offered by the world’s coasts and oceans have attracted the attention of governments, private enterprises, philanthropic organizations and international conservation organizations. High-profile dialogue and policy decisions on ocean futures are informed largely by economic and ecological research. Key insights from the social sciences raise concerns for food and nutrition security, livelihoods and social justice…

  • Reconciling Multiple Societal Objectives in Cross-Scale Marine Governance

    Louisa Evans, Louisa S Evans et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2018References: 3

    Environmental governance aims to reconcile an expanding set of societal objectives at ever-larger scales despite the challenges that remain in integrating conservation and development at smaller scales. We interrogate Solomon Islands’ engagement in the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security to contribute new insight on the scalar politics of multi-level marine governance. We show how regional objectives are re-inter…

  • Keeping the ‘Great’ in the Great Barrier Reef

    Open AccessLouisa Evans, Louisa S Evans et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of the…2014

    As part of an international collaboration to compare large-scale commons, we used the Social-Ecological Systems Meta-Analysis Database (SESMAD) to systematically map out attributes of and changes in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP) in Australia. We focus on eight design principles from common-pool resource (CPR) theory and other key social-ecological systems governance variables, and explore to what extent they help explain the social a…

  • Toward Principles for Enhancing the Resilience of Ecosystem Services

    Open AccessReinette Biggs, Maja Schlüter et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Environment and…2012

    Enhancing the resilience of ecosystem services (ES) that underpin human well-being is critical for meeting current and future societal needs, and requires specific governance and management policies. Using the literature, we identify seven generic policy-relevant principles for enhancing the resilience of desired ES in the face of disturbance and ongoing change in social-ecological systems (SES). These principles are (P1) maintain diversity and r…
