SI24C:
The Benefits of Ecosystem-Based Management for Sustainable Oceans and Blue Growth Posters
Session ID#: 84984
Session Description:
Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) challenges conventional ways of ocean-related governance and management, taking a systematic approach to ecosystem capacities and potentials as the basis for decision-making. A recent review of research needs for EBM implementation by the Galway Statement on Atlantic Ocean Cooperation Working Group on the Ecosystem Approach to Ocean Health and Stressors has shown that while mandates and tools for EBM exist, stakeholders are often reluctant to engage. Likely, they perceive that EBM primarily seeks to protect the marine environment preventing stakeholders from practicing traditional and developing ocean activities. In this session we invite contributions from a variety of ocean actors (e.g. industry, government, research, etc.) to explore the benefits and challenges of EBM for ocean policy, resource management and multi-sector ocean use. We welcome case studies focused on improving the health and stewardship of the oceans, especially streamlining and enhancing the effectiveness of the regulatory process, advancing business efficiency and opportunities. We also welcome studies that optimize benefits among a diverse set of societal goals, identify trade-offs and benefits among activities and resources within an ecosystem, understand the cumulative effects of a management action, communicate risks, uncertainties, and implications of management decisions and/or ensure more transparent decision processes.
