The Ocean & Society Survey: A Global Tool for Understanding People–Ocean Connec...
McRuer, Jen; Glithero, Diz L.; McKinley, Emma; Pagès, Jordi F.; Fauville, Géraldine; Morris-Webb, Elisabeth S.; Hart, Natalie; Strang, CraigRecent years have seen calls for improved ways of assessing and understanding ocean literacy across a range of contexts. This article presents collaborative advances toward these ends on a global scale, through the co-creation of the Ocean & Society Survey. This Survey—based on national surveys in Canada, Brazil, and the UK—and the collaboration of 20 core partners, aims to capture diverse people–ocean connecti...
Ocean Literacy as a Mechanism for Change Across and Beyond the UN Ocean Decade
McKinley, Emma; McAteer, Benedict; Kaae, Berit Charlotte; Trouillet, BriceUnderstanding the complexity of human–ocean relationships has been increasingly recognized as being central to addressing the triple crises currently facing the ocean and the communities that depend on it—climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequities. Since the early 2000s, the concept of ocean literacy (OL) has evolved as a framework to explore and critically assess this relationship. Defined as hav...
Bringing the Ocean to the Stage: Performing Coastal Values and Marine Management
McKinley, Emma; Hughes, Erika; Georgia, Stephenie; Bowyer, Cressida; Fradera, Kathryn; Fairbrass, Alison; Potts, JonathanRecent years have witnessed a seemingly constant call for improved understanding of human–ocean relationships, resulting in a “boom” of marine social science research, sometimes framed through the lens of ocean literacy. Defined as having an understanding of your influence on the ocean, and its influence on you, ocean literacy has gained traction in recent years as a way of better understanding the complexities...
A global systematic review of the cultural ecosystem services provided by wetlands
Wood, Kevin A.; Jupe, Lucy L.; Aguiar, Francisca C.; Collins, Alexandra M.; Davidson, Scott J.; Freeman, Will; Kirkpatrick, LiamWetlands make a disproportionately large contribution to global biodiversity and provide critical ecosystem services for humanity. Yet, our understanding of the cultural ecosystem services (CES) provided by wetlands remains limited, with benefits often only recognised at local scales. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a global systematic review of wetland CES. Our synthesis addressed key questions rel...
A global horizon scan of issues impacting marine and coastal biodiversity conse...
Herbert-Read, James E.; Thornton, Ann; Amon, Diva J.; Birchenough, Silvana N. R.; Côté, Isabelle M.; Dias, Maria P.; Godley, Brendan J.; Keith, Sally A.The biodiversity of marine and coastal habitats is experiencing unprecedented change. While there are well-known drivers of these changes, such as overexploitation, climate change and pollution, there are also relatively unknown emerging issues that are poorly understood or recognized that have potentially positive or negative impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems. In this inaugural Marine and Coastal Horizo...
