Understanding and Adapting Ocean Decade Action To promote the ecosystem-based approaches for the management of coastal and marine ecosystems and to augment the sustainability in marine bioresources, we have to understand the United Nations Ocean Decade Action, to overcome the challenges faced by these ecosystems. In this context, a communication - Understanding and Adapting Ocean Decade Action, was published in Anthropocene Science by the IUCN CEM Ecosystem-Based Aquaculture Specialist Group. https://doi.org/10.1007/s44177-023-00059-z How resilience is framed matters for governance of coastal social-ecological systems Clement, S., J.

While impact assessment is suitable for the exploitation phase before sustainability limits are threatened; cumulative impact assessment is suited to the accumulation phase as sustainability limits are being reached; resilience assessments are appropriate when systems are subject to disturbances that threaten their viability; and recovery assessments are required when sustainability limits have been exceeded and management interventions are needed in the reorganisation phase. The paper explores each with a case study. https://conferences.iaia.org/2023/edit-paper.php |
