Cost-effectiveness of riparian forest buffers in farmland for water quality improvement
This article explores the cost-effectiveness of riparian buffers for water quality improvement, focusing on three pollutants: nitrates, phosphorous, and sediments. The case study is implemented in the Cávado river basin located in northwest Portugal, where intensive dairy production is prevalent downstream. Using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool, two scenarios − 2.5 and 5 m width riparian buffers in agricultural areas – were simulated, which yi…
Illuminating deep-sea considerations and experimental approaches for mCDR proposals
Improving impact assessments to reduce impacts of deep-sea fisheries on vulnerable marine ecosystems
Robust impact assessments (IAs) for deep-sea fisheries are essential for safeguarding deep-sea ecosystems against the impacts of bottom fishing. In the high seas, United Nations Resolution commitments require States (independently or through Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs)) to conduct IAs to evaluate if fishing is putting vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) at risk. To enhance the efficacy of future IAs, this study evaluated n…
Thresholds in deep-seabed mining
The establishment of thresholds is integral to environmental management. This paper introduces the use of thresholds in the context of deep-seabed mining, a nascent industry for which an exploitation regime of regulations, standards and guidelines is still in the process of being developed, and for which the roles and values of thresholds have yet to be finalised. There are several options for integrating thresholds into the International Seabed …
Local ecological knowledge and perception of the causes, impacts and effects of Sargassum massive influxes
Coastal communities of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico have been affected by atypical influxes of pelagic macroalgae (Sargassum genus) since 2011, entailing ecological, economic and social impacts in need of characterization. We compiled and documented local ecological knowledge (LEK) and perceptions across diverse stakeholder groups from coastal communities in Mexico (Quintana Roo) (n=50 participants) and the United States (Florida) (n=36 p…
Enhanced monitoring of life in the sea is a critical component of conservation management and sustainable economic growth
Marine biodiversity is a fundamental characteristic of our planet that depends on and influences climate, water quality, and many ocean state variables. It is also at the core of ecosystem services that can make or break economic development in any region. Our purpose is to highlight the need for marine biological observations to inform science and conservation management and to support the blue economy. We provide ten recommendations, applicable…
A Roadmap for Using the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development in Support of Science, Policy, and Action
The health of the ocean, central to human well-being, has now reached a critical point. Most fish stocks are overexploited, climate change and increased dissolved carbon dioxide are changing ocean chemistry and disrupting species throughout food webs, and the fundamental capacity of the ocean to regulate the climate has been altered. However, key technical, organizational, and conceptual scientific barriers have prevented the identification of po…
