  • 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…

  • Piloting a culturally significant areas framework for spatial planning and management in the coastal environment of South Africa

    Open AccessLoyiso V Dunga, Kerry Sink et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2025

    The identification and mapping of culturally significant areas are key inputs to Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) and the design and implementation of protected and conserved areas or other place-based management measures. Despite the recognised importance of coastal and marine cultural values, they are often missing from MSP processes and management measures, leading to mistrust, biased trade-offs, and inequitable management outcomes, undermining c…

  • Reflecting on arts-based participatory research

    Open AccessMia Strand, Yaseen Albany et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2024Cited by: 1

    Although the importance of pursuing meaningful and equitable transdisciplinary research collaborations with Indigenous and local community members has been established in the literature, challenges remain as to how to best do this in practice. Pursuing arts-based participatory research methods in two different ocean governance contexts in South Africa, this paper provides reflections by social and marine scientists, Indigenous and local community…

  • The complexity of evaluating, categorising and quantifying marine cultural heritage

    Open AccessMia Strand, Nina Rivers et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    Despite the growing recognition that ecosystem-based management approaches to ocean governance need to recognise and integrate cultural dimensions to remain relevant, efficient, inclusive and equitable, the difficulty of meaningfully integrating these in ecosystem-based ocean management remains a challenge. This is particularly due to i) the difficulty of quantifying marine cultural heritage and cultural connections, ii) the complexity of identif…

  • 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…

  • Protecting Children’s Rights to Development and Culture by Re-Imagining “Ocean Literacies”

    Open AccessMia Strand, Sophie Shields et al.ARTICLEThe International Journal of…2023References: 8

    This paper explores the relevance of existing international legal standards on children’s human rights to a healthy ocean. In particular, we reflect on the still underestimated importance of a healthy ocean for children’s human right to development and cultural rights. Focusing on environmental education, we argue that the concept of ocean literacy should rather be conceptualised as a plurality of “ocean literacies”, better to account for multipl…

  • Stratification of stakeholders for participation in the governance of coastal social-ecological systems

    Open AccessLouis Celliers, Lena Rölfer et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2023Cited by: 2References: 51

    Knowledge co-production has become part of an evolution of participatory and transdisciplinary research approaches that are increasingly important for achieving sustainability. To effectively involve the most appropriate stakeholders there is a need for engagement and increasing prominence of stakeholders in environmental management and governance processes. The paper aims at developing and testing a methodology for stratifying stakeholders by (i…
