Transformation Across Land-Sea Governance: Future Research Opportunities
Evans, Tegan; Ferraro, Gianluca; Failler, PierreTransformation is heralded as a solution to the diverse and interconnected crises threatening natural environments and the livelihoods of those who depend on them. Coastal governance does not exist in a vacuum, and integrated land-sea governance systems are a potential solution to the triple planetary threat of climate change, increasing pollution and biodiversity loss. A systematic literature review was undert...
Governance Challenges for the Adaptation to Sea‐Level Rise in the Canary Island...
González, Aridane G.; Peña-Alonso, Carolina; González-Dávila, Melchor; Santana-Casiano, J. Magdalena; González-Santana, David; Ferraro, GianlucaIsland territories are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to their geographical isolation and environmental characteristics, as highlighted in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report. In the Canary Islands, sea‐level rise is a critical impact of climate change, affecting several coastal ecosystems, including beaches, dunes, and wetlands, as well as infrastructure and res...
Bridging Local and Scientific Knowledge in Land–Sea Governance Through Strategi...
Grassi, Gea; Zennaro, Federica; Lujan Climent, Irene; Aldeguerc, Bernabe; Barbera, Oscar; Ferraro, Gianluca; Douguet, Jean-Marc; Furlan, ElisaLand–sea interfaces (LSIs) are complex areas where terrestrial and marine ecosystems intersect, leading to intricate ecological, social, economic, and political interactions. These regions face pressures from both land‐based and maritime activities, with climate change amplifying threats to communities and natural environments. Strategic foresight analysis, focused on co‐designing future scenarios, offers a pro...
Transforming Coastal Governance: Challenges, Experiences, and Ways Forward
Beunen, Raoul; Ferraro, GianlucaTransforming coastal governance is essential to ensure the sustainable development and use of coastal areas. Such transformation processes may involve changes in different governance dimensions. This thematic issue focusses on five of these dimensions and the way in which changes in these dimensions are interrelated: (1) the integration of planning and management of land and sea, (2) the use of scientific knowl...

Fonseca, Catarina; Wood, Louisa; Andriamahefazafy, Mialy; Casal, Gema; Chaigneau, Tomas; Cornet, Cindy C.; Degia, A. Karima; Failler, PierreThe long-term provision of ocean ecosystem services depends on healthy ecosystems and effective sustainable management. Understanding public opinion about marine and coastal ecosystems is important to guide decision-making and inform specific actions. However, available data on public perceptions on the interlinked effects of climate change, human impacts and the value and management of marine and coastal ecosy...

Potential respondents were provided with a participant information form, also available in four languages ('participant...
Marine and coastal ecosystems and climate change : a public awareness survey
Fonseca, Catarina; Andriamahefazafy, Mialy; Casal, Gema; Chaigneau, Tomas; Cornet, Cindy C.; Degia, Anna; Failler, Pierre; Ferraro, GianlucaHundreds of millions of people worldwide directly rely on marine and coastal ecosystems for their food, livelihoods and ways of life, yet these ecosystems are subject to a variety of pressures (UNEP, 2006; Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2015; Korpinen et al., 2019). These pressures include climate change - one of the most urgent challenges societies are currently facing, with “long-lasting or irreversible” adverse cons...
