The social licence of salmon aquaculture in Tasmania
Salmon aquaculture is one of a number of industries in Tasmania that can benefit from new technologies to reduce the local ecological and community amenity impacts of its coastal operations. This may assist the industry in retaining its social licence to operate (SLO), which is currently in question, so that it can continue generating benefits for local livelihoods. We used Q-methodology to gain empirical insight into aquaculture stakeholder pers…
Disaster recovery as disorientation and reorientation
As research on disasters in the tourism context matures, a more holistic understanding of how businesses and communities can recover is needed. Using the disorientation and reorientation framework, this study explores recovery as a place-based process. The perceptions and memories of key stakeholders of Binna Burra Lodge, which was affected by the 2019–2020 bushfires in Australia, are investigated and the analysis reveals two themes of disorienta…
Farmers perspectives on options for and barriers to implementing climate resilient agriculture and implications for climate adaptation policy
Water trading by Aboriginal organisations in NSW, Australia
Markets are a contentious way to manage demand for water because they can produce or exacerbate inequities for small and more vulnerable water holders, including Indigenous peoples. In Australia, which has the world's largest water market in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), settler-colonial governments have transformed water law and policy to enable water trading with negligible consideration of the effects on Aboriginal peoples. We present the fi…
Water quality trading markets – Integrating land and marine based measures under a smart market approach
Implementation of effective policy instruments to reduce emissions from non-point agricultural sources has been challenging. Mussel farming has the potential to mitigate diffuse nitrogen losses from agricultural production, and a Water Quality Trading Market (WQTM) between agricultural and mussel farmers could potentially be an efficient mechanism. We simulate a hypothetical WQTM in a catchment in northern Denmark using a relatively new approach …
Understanding power, social capital and trust alongside near real-time water quality monitoring and technological development collaboration
We report on qualitative social research conducted with stakeholders in a local agricultural knowledge and advice network associated with a collaborative water quality monitoring project. These farmers, advisors and researchers allude to existing social dynamics, technological developments, and (more general) social evolution which is analysed against a novel analytical framework. This framework considers notions of power, social capital, and tru…
Financial incentives for large-scale wetland restoration
Wetlands provide -$47.4 trillion/year worth of ecosystem services globally and support immense biodiversity, yet face widespread drainage and pollution, and large-scale wetlands restoration is urgently needed. Payment for ecosystem service (PES) schemes provide a viable avenue for funding large-scale wetland restoration. However, schemes around the globe differ substantially in their goals, structure, challenges, and effectiveness in supporting l…
Challenges in integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation
Climate change is widely acknowledged as responsible for increasing the scale and intensity of disasters. Literature stresses the necessity to link disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) to make more efficient use of scarce resources and avoid overlapping efforts. However, integrating interventions for DRR and CCA remains a challenge because these two concepts originated from separate research-experts and are articulate…
Challenges and Sensitivities in Assessing Total Ecosystem Service Values
Ecosystem service valuation (ESV) can inform land-use change policy and adaptation responses to climate change in Pacific Small Island Developing States. Despite Small Island Developing States communities relying acutely and directly on ecosystem service (ES) flows, methodologies must contend with limited valuation data and challenges. We undertake ESV to generate coefficients we then apply to mapped habitat extents for Vanuatu. We find the contr…
Revealing the dominant discourses of stakeholders towards natural resource management in Port Resolution, Vanuatu, using Q-method
Distributing flood shelters for disaster risk reduction
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to inspect disaster risk reduction (DRR) challenges from a political economy (PE) perspective and to explore how PE determinants facilitate or hinder effective DRR in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative case study, using semi-structured in-depth interviews, official documents and literature review has been conducted to explore the current process and practices of DRR in Bangladesh. The specif…
Sustainable ecosystem governance under changing climate and land use
Combatting eutrophication is currently a major challenge for policy makers in the Baltic Sea region, and it is likely to remain so in the decades to come. Although total nutrient loads to the Baltic Sea have recently declined, the gap between current loadings and those required to ensure the desired status is still substantial This Special Issue is dedicated to research that helps inform how the eutrophication challenge might best be addressed by…
Adaptation to climate change in perennial cropping systems
The Hydro-economics of Mining
Joint research between economists and hydrologists increasingly contributes to optimising the economic value gained from water, while safeguarding its social and environmental values. The application of hydro-economic analysis to mining regions, however, is limited. This paper examines why this is the case and how to confront it. The paper focuses on identifying and describing features of large-scale mines and mine regions that are challenging to…
Incentivising the collaborative management of mobile ecological resources
Reduction of Baltic Sea Nutrient Inputs and Allocation of Abatement Costs Within the Baltic Sea Catchment
The Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) requires tools to simulate effects and costs of various nutrient abatement strategies. Hierarchically connected databases and models of the entire catchment have been created to allow decision makers to view scenarios via the decision support system NEST. Increased intensity in agriculture in transient countries would result in increased nutrient loads to the Baltic Sea, particularly from Poland, the Baltic State…
Evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of biodiversity conservation spending
Analysis of the carbon sequestration costs of afforestation and reforestation agroforestry practices and the use of cost curves to evaluate their potential for implementation of climate change mitigat…
