Edgar, G.J., A.E. Bates, T.J. Bird, A.H. Jones, S. Kininmonth, R.D. Stuart-Smith, T.J. Webb. New approaches to marine conservation through the scaling up of ecological data. Annual Review of Marine Science DOI: 10.1146/annurev-marine-122414-033921
In an era of rapid global change, conservation managers urgently need improved tools to track and counter declining ecosystem conditions. This need is particularly acute in the marine realm, where threats are out of sight, inadequately mapped, cumulative, and often poorly understood, thereby generating impacts that are inefficiently managed. Recent advances in macroecology, statistical analysis, and the compilation of globa...
Dile, Y.T., L. Karlberg, P. Daggupati, R. Srinivasan, D. Wiberg, J. Rockström. Assessing the implications of water harvesting intensification on upstream-downstream ecosystem services: A case study in the Lake Tana basin. Science of the Total Environment doi:10.1016/j.scitotenv.2015.10.065
Water harvesting systems have improved productivity in various regions in sub-Saharan Africa. Similarly, they can help retain water in landscapes, build resilience against droughts and dry spells, and thereby contribute to sustainable agricultural intensification. However, there is no strong empirical evidence that shows the effects of intensification of water harvesting on upstream–downstream social–ecological systems at a la...
de Loë, R.C., N. Melnychuk, D. Murray, R. Plummer. Advancing the state of policy delphi practice: A systematic review evaluating methodological evolution, innovation, and opportunities. Technological Forecasting and Social Change doi:10.1016/j.techfore.2015.12.009
The policy Delphi is a method that uses iterative stages of data collection to reveal positions on an issue within a panel of people with relevant knowledge. Policy Delphi surveys have become popular in a variety of disciplines since the method was first proposed in this journal in 1970. In this paper, we benchmark the state-of-the-art in policy Delphi methods, focusing on strengths and limitations, and on innovative ways o...
Defeo, O., M. Castrejón, R. Pérez-Castañeda, J.-C. Castilla, N.L. Gutiérrez, T. Essington, C. Folke. Co-management in Latin American small-scale shellfisheries: Assessment from long-term case studies. Fish and Fisheries DOI: 10.1111/faf.12101
Co-management (Co-M), defined as the sharing of management tasks and responsibilities between governments and local users, is emerging as a powerful institutional arrangement to redress fisheries paradigm failures, yet long-term assessments of its performance are lacking. A comparative analysis of five small-scale Latin American shellfisheries was conducted to identify factors suggesting success and failure. In Chile, Urugu...
Crona, B.I., T.M. Daw, W. Swartz, A.V. Norström, M. Nyström, M. Thyresson, C. Folke, J. Hentati-Sundberg, H. Österblom, L. Deutsch, M. Troell. 2015. Masked, diluted and drowned out: How global seafood trade weakens signals from marine ecosystems. Fish and Fisheries DOI: 10.1111/faf.12109
Nearly 40% of seafood is traded internationally and an even bigger proportion is affected by international trade, yet scholarship on marine fisheries has focused on global trends in stocks and catches, or on dynamics of individual fisheries, with limited attention to the link between individual fisheries, global trade and distant consumers. This paper examines the usefulness of fish price as a feedback signal to consumers a...
Crona, B.I., X. Basurto, D. Squires, S. Gelcich, T.M. Daw, A. Khan, E. Havice, V. Chomo, M. Troell, E.A. Buchary, E.H. Allison. Towards a typology of interactions between small-scale fisheries and global seafood trade. Marine Policy doi:10.1016/j.marpol.2015.11.016
Fish and fish-related products are among the most highly traded commodities globally and the proportion of globally harvested fish that is internationally traded has steadily risen over time. Views on the benefits of international seafood trade diverge, partly as a result from adopting either an aggregate national focus or a focus on local market actors. However, both views generally assume that the trade in question is cha...
Bull, J.W., N. Jobstvogt, A. Böhnke-Henrichs, A. Mascarenhas, N. Sitas, C. Baulcomb, C.K. Lambini, M. Rawlins, H. Baral, J. Zähringer, E. Carter-Silk, M.V. Balzan, J.O. Kenter, T. Häyhä, K. Petz, R. Koss. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats: A SWOT analysis of the ecosystem services framework. Ecosystem Services doi:10.1016/j.ecoser.2015.11.012
The ecosystem services concept (ES) is becoming a cornerstone of contemporary sustainability thought. Challenges with this concept and its applications are well documented, but have not yet been systematically assessed alongside strengths and external factors that influence uptake. Such an assessment could form the basis for improving ES thinking, further embedding it into environmental decisions and management. The Young Eco...
Birnbaum, S. Environmental co-governance, legitimacy, and the quest for compliance: When and why is stakeholder participation desirable? Journal of Environmental Policy & Planning DOI:10.1080/1523908X.2015.107744
Deliberative forms of stakeholder participation have been widely embraced as a key measure for addressing legitimacy deficits and non-compliance in environmental governance. However, the great significance of such collaborative structures for state-stakeholder interaction is much too often accepted uncritically as an established truth in the environmental policy discourse. Building on examples from the literature on fisheri...
Béné, C., R. Arthur, H. Norbury, E.H. Allison, M. Beveridge, S. Bush, L. Campling, W. Leschen, D. Little, D. Squires, S.H. Thilsted, M. Troell, M. Williams. Contribution of fisheries and aquaculture to food security and poverty reduction: Assessing the current evidence. World Development doi:10.1016/j.worlddev.2015.11.007
Following a precise evaluation protocol that was applied to a pool of 202 articles published between 2003 and 2014, this paper evaluates the existing evidence of how and to what extent capture fisheries and aquaculture contribute to improving nutrition, food security, and economic growth in developing and emergent countries. In doing so we evaluate the quality and scientific rigor of that evidence, identify the key conclusions...
Baird, J., R. Plummer, Ö. Bodin. Collaborative governance for climate change adaptation in Canada: Experimenting with adaptive co-management. Regional Environmental Change doi:10.1007/s10113-015-0790-5
The search for strategies to address ‘super wicked problems’ such as climate change is gaining urgency, and a collaborative governance approach, and adaptive co-management in particular, is increasingly recognized as one such strategy. However, the conditions for adaptive co-management to emerge and the resulting network structures and relational patterns remain unclear in the literature. To address these identified needs, ...
