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...
A conceptual framework to help choose appropriate blue nature-based solutions
Pérez, Géraldine; O'Leary, Bethan C; Allegri, Elena; Casal, Gema; Cornet, Cindy C.; de Juan, Silvia; Failler, Pierre; Fredriksen, SteinBiodiversity loss and climate change have severely impacted ecosystems and livelihoods worldwide, compromising access to food and water, increasing disaster risk, and affecting human health globally. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have gained interest in addressing these global societal challenges. Although much effort has been directed to NbS in urban and terrestrial environments, the implementation of NbS in ma...
Evaluating the combined effect of climate and anthropogenic stressors on marine...
Simeoni, Christian; Furlan, Elisa; Pham, Hoang-Vuong; Critto, Andrea; de Juan, Silvia; Trégarot, Ewan; Cornet, Cindy C.; Meesters, ErikABSTRACT: Cumulative impacts increasingly threaten marine and coastal ecosystems. To address this issue, the research community has invested efforts on designing and testing different methodological approaches and tools that apply cumulative impact appraisal schemes for a sound evaluation of the complex interactions and dynamics among multiple pressures affecting marine and coastal ecosystems. Through an iterat...
Survey data of public awareness on climate change and the value of marine and c...
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...
Embracing Nature-based Solutions to promote resilient marine and coastal ecosys...
O'Leary, Bethan C.; Fonseca, Catarina; Cornet, Cindy C.; de Vries, Mindert B.; Degia, A. Karima; Failler, Pierre; Furlan, Elisa; Garrabou, JoaquimThe world is struggling to limit greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the human footprint on nature. We therefore urgently need to think about how to achieve more with actions to address mounting challenges for human health and wellbeing from biodiversity loss, climate change effects, and unsustainable economic and social development. Nature-based Solutions (NBS) have emerged as a systemic approach and an import...
Marine and coastal ecosystems and climate change : dataset from a public awaren...
Fonseca, Catarina; Wood, Louisa; Andriamahefazafy, Mialy; Casal, Gema; Chaigneau, Tomas; Cornet, Cindy C.; Degia, Anna; Failler, PierreThe dataset is the result of an self-administered online survey on public perceptions about climate change, the value of marine and coastal ecosystems, human impacts on them and their management. The survey was released in four languages, English, French, Spanish and Italian ('survey' folder). 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...
Potential biodiversity connectivity in the network of marine protected areas in...
Assis, Jorge; Failler, Pierre; Fragkopoulou, Eliza; Abecasis, David; Touron-Gardic, Gregoire; Regalla, Aissa; Sidina, Ebaye; Dinis, HerculanoMarine Protected Areas (MPAs) must function as networks with sufficient stepping-stone continuity between suitable habitats to ensure the conservation of naturally connected regional pools of biodiversity in the long-term. For most marine biodiversity, population connectivity is mediated by passively dispersed planktonic stages with contrasting dispersal periods, ranging from a few hours to hundreds of days. Th...
