This will be achieved by creating an online cloud platform to support coastal water research applications that use Earth Observation (EO) data.<\/strong><\/p>

The Co-ReSyF platform will provide free to its users:<\/p>

  • Data access (EO and other datasets)<\/li>
  • Data query, preview and selection<\/li>
  • Image processing tools, and other tools required for EO applications<\/li>
  • Existing research applications (configurable), and functionality to develop own models<\/li>
  • Data and output visualisation functionalities (e.g. graphs, maps, text files, etc.)<\/li>
  • (optional) Open source sharing of users\u2019 applications with the marine\/coastal community (e.g. for publication, validation and testing purposes)<\/li><\/ul>

    The platform aims to be user friendly and accessible to inexperienced scientists as well as EO and coastal experts. Users will be able to use Co-ReSyF to analyse and process large datasets on the cloud without the need to download data or install software on their computer. As a result, users will be able to process more data, faster<\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>

    The research applications currently implemented on the Co-ReSyF platform are:<\/p>

    • Bathymetry determination from SAR Images<\/li>
    • Determination of bathymetry, benthic habitat classification and water quality from optical sensors<\/li>
    • Marine vessel and oil spill detection<\/li>
    • Time-series processing for hyper-temporal optical data analysis<\/li>

      Megacities and the Coast Risk, Resilience and Transformation

      Edited by Mark |gq2|megacitiesPelling, Sophie Blackburn
      Routledge – 2013 – 248 pages

      Based on a major international study, this volume provides a synthesis of scientific knowledge on megacity urbanization on the coast, environmental impacts, risks and management choices, including a focus on adaptation, mitigation and disaster risk management. It is the primary output of a major international scientific project sponsored by the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme, the Land-Ocean Interactions at the Coastal Zone programme of IHDP/IGBP, and others. It brings together the work of over 60 contributing authors and an international review board.
      It presents the international policy and academic community with an unbiased and high quality assessment of the state-of-the art in areas of social-ecological systems interaction. One of its main messages is that while we know a great deal about megacities of more than ten million people and about urban processes, and about coasts and their physical and ecological processes (aquatic, physical and atmospheric), there is relatively little work that focusses primarily at points of intersection between large-scale urbanization and the coast. The book responds to this gap by providing the first global synthesis of megacity and large urban region urbanization on the coast. Its focus is on environmental and development challenges, climate change and disaster. It is interdisciplinary and brings together world recognised scientists (including many IPCC lead authors) on urban climate and atmosphere, disaster risk management, demography and coastal environments.

The IPO is responsible for assisting the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) in all aspects of its work and liaising with key stakeholders at regional, national and local levels. The office collates and communicates information related to national and international FEC research, as well as serving as a channel of communication on coastal aspects of global environmental change.

      Following 4 successful years hosted by the MaREI Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy, Environmental Research Institute, University College Cork from 1 January, 2019 the IPO will be moving to a new host and new structure for the IPO. The new arrangement will ensure that Future Earth Coasts truly represents a global community of interest for evolving sustainable pathways for coastal zones, and we are exploring options for the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) to form the IPO as a coordinating lead hub with other organisations constituting Regional Project Offices of a distributed IPO arrangement.

      Title: Deltas associated with large rivers: Seeking solutions to the problem of sustainability
      Acronym:Mega-Delta Working Group
      Brief Description:River deltas are critical for human development as they support a variety of social-economical activities and ecosystems. However, there is a general trend that the delta growth rate is decreasing, resulting in intensified delta erosion and increasing flooding risk; salt-marshes and mangroves are shrinking and the ecosystem is under threat. This has become a global issue needing international collaboration to address. To deal with the increasing risks the deltas are facing, in this FEC Work Group, we propose to systematically and interdisciplinarily investigate the present status of ~25 representative deltas and the threatens they are facing, the methodology for new delta blueprints, the blueprints dealing with critical delta characteristics, and the sustainability of the delta system and its capacity to support regional development for deltas of different physical processes and ecological and economic importance. The objective is to find the solutions to support sustainable and eco-friendly human and nature development in delta regions, and to increase resilience to external changes as regards to river-borne sediment supply decline, sea-level rise, stormy conditions, and the conflicts between human activities and nature conservation.

      Title: Sustainable Resilient Coasts
      Acronym:COAST
      Brief Description:

      Coastal zones are at the frontline of sustainability challenges, arising from the exploitation of natural resources such as fish stocks, loss of cultural heritage, changing demographics, waste disposal, and climate change impacts. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA). The coast is one of the most significant unifying habitats in the region.

      It is imperative to build the resilience of coastal communities around the world, and in the Arctic and northern periphery in particular. The project will provide a roadmap for protecting, promoting and developing the cultural and natural heritage of sparsely populated and remote coastal communities. Local authorities play a pivotal role in enabling resilience building and coastal sustainability. The project will produce a COAST Toolbox for local authorities, focusing on SMART Blue Growth, which is based on principles of sustainability, mitigation, planning, adaptation, resilience and transition.

      COAST-project seeks to establish the NPA region as a demonstration of how to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the coast. The project brings together five partners and six associate partners from Iceland, Finland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. The approach includes four demonstration cases, addressing the challenges of sparsely populated, remote coastal communities. Each case is strongly supported through the partners, associates and letters of support, to ensure effective delivery and implementation at the local authority level. COAST applies a three step conceptual framework called Our
      Coastal Futures, designed to:
      i) Enable regional stakeholders and institutions to develop a common understanding of future coastal scenarios;
      ii) Craft robust strategies for charting a desired coastal future; and
      iii) Create mechanism to achieve these desired outputs

      • Co-designing and co-producing knowledge—develop engagement strategies that bring together societal partners to build a common understanding about the coast and of future prospects.
      • Charting a course to a new type of science—develop a new engaged, action-oriented approach to coastal research that provides a forum to undertake innovative disciplinary research and co-design, coordinate and implement transdisciplinary research.
      • Providing accessible and relevant products—add value to research outputs that support synthesis and assessment efforts to align with policy and societal needs.
      • Building capacity—draw upon the experience and expertise of coastal specialists and practitioners from around the World and build partnerships to inform and advance sustainable development at the coast through networking, capacity development, and mentoring.

      Future Earth Coasts is a Global Research Project of Future Earth, a platform for translating sustainability knowledge into action that includes a number of United Nations agencies, intergovernmental bodies and organisations such as the International Council for Science.

      Future Earth Coasts builds on over 20 years of global scientific experience and applied research—originally the Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) project of the former International Geosphere Biosphere Programme and the International Human Dimensions Programme.

      This work includes numerous books, publications and State of the Coast reports and networks like Lagoons for Life (L4L) and Ocean Acidification Africa (OA-Africa).

      First started in 1993, LOICZ has involved scientists from across the globe investigating changes in the biology, chemistry and physics of the coastal zone. Since 2003 LOICZ expanded its areas of research to include social, political and economic sciences to better address the human dimensions of the coastal zone. Results have been published in peer-reviewed journals, books and a Report and Studies Series. From 2015, LOICZ has become a core project of the new Future Earth initiative under the new name of Future Earth Coasts.

      We have signposted our goals and expectations for Future Earth Coasts in a document to stimulate an open and wide ranging consultative and engagement process to develop a new ten year plan for Future Earth Coasts to generate the knowledge needed to advance sustainability of coastal socio-ecological and geographic systems.

      Future Earth has been established by The Science and Technology Alliance for Global Sustainability, a partnership for global sustainability including researchers, funders and users of knowledge. It has a 10 year mandate to develop knowledge for responding effectively to the risks and opportunities of global environmental change and for supporting transformation towards global sustainability.

      How we work:

      Future Earth Coasts provides a platform for networking and providing ‘added value’ to the outputs of our community to explore and understand the drivers and social-environmental impacts of global environmental change in coastal zones.

      We do this by providing opportunities for people to contribute to new outputs that address one of our three core themes. These outputs will build into our flagship outcome to identify new and alternate coastal futures to accelerate our transformations to a sustainable world from our current ‘business as usual’ unsustainable practices.

      The purpose of Future Earth Coasts is to:

      • Focus attention on grand challenges on the World’s coastlines.
      • Connect coastal researchers, practitioners, Indigenous Peoples, activists, businesses, youth, and decision-makers.
      • Build and bridge scientific, local, and Indigenous knowledge.
      • Support the next generation of coastal leaders and custodians.
      • Advocate for equitable and sustainable coastal development.
      • Enable community resilience and adaptive capacity.
      • Translate coastal sustainability values and knowledge into action.

      We partner with individuals, programmes, projects, and organisations to contribute to our vision and research priorities and goals for engagement and capacity building.

      The work of Future Earth Coasts is guided by an Executive Committee and implemented by a distributed International Project Office. In addition to that our Regional Engagement Partners act as ‘local’ offices alongside the distributed IPO to coordinate and promote coastal global change research at the regional and local level as well as to facilitate links and exchanges between international, national and local science policy.

      Edited by Mark Pelling, Sophie Blackburn
      Routledge (2013) 248pp<\/p>

      Based on a major international study, this volume provides a synthesis of scientific knowledge on megacity urbanization on the coast, environmental impacts, risks and management choices, including a focus on adaptation, mitigation and disaster risk management. It is the primary output of a major international scientific project sponsored by the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme, the Land-Ocean Interactions at the Coastal Zone programme of IHDP\/IGBP, and others. It brings together the work of over 60 contributing authors and an international review board.
      It presents the international policy and academic community with an unbiased and high quality assessment of the state-of-the art in areas of social-ecological systems interaction. One of its main messages is that while we know a great deal about megacities of more than ten million people and about urban processes, and about coasts and their physical and ecological processes (aquatic, physical and atmospheric), there is relatively little work that focusses primarily at points of intersection between large-scale urbanization and the coast. The book responds to this gap by providing the first global synthesis of megacity and large urban region urbanization on the coast. Its focus is on environmental and development challenges, climate change and disaster. It is interdisciplinary and brings together world recognised scientists (including many IPCC lead authors) on urban climate and atmosphere, disaster risk management, demography and coastal environments.<\/p>

      The purpose of this book is to show how the neglected and degraded landscape of the Mississippi River Delta might be brought back to life. It consists of a collection of scientific essays that focus on applying the results of a new era of scientific discovery to the prospect of large-scale delta restoration. These essays were written by members of the Science and Engineering Special Team (SEST), that began to meet in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon disaster of 2010. While this new disaster focused\u00a0attention on the iconic Birdsfoot Delta, it became clear that few were aware of the way it and the rest of the Mississippi River Delta is being managed nearly into oblivion, largely with public tax dollars and the activities of resource users. The authors seek not only to provide information on ways to halt the ongoing loss of coastal wetlands, but also on how to restore the delta as a fully functional geological and ecological system. The eleven essays contained in this book address some of the challenges facing this process. The book addresses a range of issues including an historical analysis of the delta, river morphodynamics and sediment dynamics, fisheries, flood control and navigation, wetlands and eutrophication, the socio-economic value of the delta, human communities of the delta, and the potential impacts of climate change and energy scarcity. This book clearly presents the enormous challenges facing sustainable management of the delta and charts a way forward. The authors make the clear point that the delta can be restored but that ongoing trends must be taken into consideration and that major restoration must begin soon or it may be too late.<\/p>

      Vast areas of the globe's coastal zone have experienced significant declines in ecosystem health. Deteriorating water quality, loss and alteration of vital habitats, and reduced populations of fish and shellfish are some of the major changes recorded. Establishing and running an effective assessment program is a complex process that necessitates strategic collaboration and partnerships between many individuals and agencies. This book was written to make the process of running a coastal assessment program easier and the outcomes more effective. It provides a step-by-step approach from data collection and information management to synthesis and application and draws on the knowledge of a variety of coastal scientists and managers.<\/p>

      The book provides best estimates of carbon and nutrient fluxes in seven types of continental margins. In each type, these fluxes are reported in detail individually for 3-7 representative geographic regions, each of which is characterized by concise descriptions of the physical and biogeochemical settings. Drawn from the regional synthesis, a global synthesis is put together for carbon fluxes exchanged between continental margins as a whole and the atmosphere and between that and the open ocean. Global syntheses on sediments and nutrients discharged to the ocean from land are also provided in the book. To guide future research on continental margin biogeochemistry, the book also elaborates on a few critical themes that emerged in recent years. One of these is the human impact on the continental margin biogeochemistry, which accentuates the need to include human perturbation of the system in future research. Thus the book represents the state-of-the-art knowledge on the subject, which will be needed for all researchers on continental margin environmental issues.
      The book is the result of collaboration between the Joint Global Flux Study (JGOFS) and Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) projects through the Continental Margins Task Team (CMTT) and written by 188 contributors. It represents a milestone in bringing together the open ocean and coastal zone communities and provides results that set the stage for future work in continental margins, particularly in LOICZ, IMBER (Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research) and SOLAS (Surface Ocean -Lower Atmosphere Study).<\/p>

      This publication provides a comprehensive assessment update of national US estuarine eutrophication. The report concludes that reducing eutrophic conditions in estuaries requires coordinated and integrated action that balances management action, efficient monitoring to assess the effectiveness of the management, targeted research, and a communication campaign aimed at engaging the broader community. Major recommendations are:
      - Implement more aggressive management actions to reduce nutrients for improvements in eutrophic condition.
      - Capitalize on monitoring technological innovations (e.g., observing systems, remote sensing, web resources) to improve comprehensive assessment of eutrophication status in a coordinated and timely fashion.
      - Focus research on improving assessment capability, resolving uncertainty, and establishing criteria\/thresholds.
      - Engage resource managers, researchers, policy makers, and the community with frequent assessment updates at local, regional, and national levels.
      - Develop tools to quantitatively relate the effectiveness of mitigation strategies in response to policy actions.
      The book reflects various aspects of LOICZ related activities such as typology considerations in Chapter 6 and the biogeochemical budgeting and its further development.<\/p>

      In global coastal zones, the major fabric of goods and services for human welfare as well as global changes are extraordinarily visible. They are shaped by natural Earth systems processes on a planetary scale, which are reflected in a continuously adapting coastal environment. Now, in the |gq2|Anthropocene|gq2|, human society is a greater catalyst for change - impacting and modifying coastal processes. This book synthesizes knowledge on coastal and riverine material fluxes, biogeochemical processes and indications of change, and the human influence, before looking at future research and management needs. It is a milestone rather than a destination on the journey which continues under the new International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) and the LOICZ II (Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone) Project.

The book's 39 chapters are organized according to seven interrelated themes including global to local scales of ICZM, human dimensions and social, physical and biological aspects, and key closely linked topics ranging from biodiversity conservation to hazards and risk management, the impact of climate change, and the application of remote sensing and geospatial technologies. The outcome of this compilation is to synthesize recent case study experiences, highlighting the changing global scenario of ICZM, the high demand for coastal resources, current lack of governance, and the need to import and export both techniques and expertise, including the importance of protecting more vulnerable coastal sites from natural calamities. Ultimately, this book provides a means to help address and solve the complexity that exists between coastal systems and anthropogenic activities.

      This book takes you on a unique journey through American history, taking time to consider the forces that shaped the development of various cities and regions, and arrives at an unexpected conclusion regarding sustainability. From the American Dream to globalization to the digital and information revolutions, we assume that humans have taken control of our collective destinies in spite of potholes in the road such as the Great Recession of 2007-2009. However, these attitudes were formed during a unique 100-year period of human history in which a large but finite supply of fossil fuels was tapped to feed our economic and innovation engine. Today, at the peak of the Oil Age, the horizon looks different. Cities such as Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas are situated where water and other vital ecological services are scarce, and the enormous flows of resources and energy that were needed to create the megalopolises of the 20th century will prove unsustainable. Climate change is a reality, and regional impacts will become increasingly severe. Economies such as Las Vegas, which are dependent on discretionary income and buffeted by climate change, are already suffering the fate of the proverbial canary in the coal mine.<\/p>

      ISSAS was founded in 1953, as a successor to the former Soil Division of the National Geological Survey of China, which was established in 1930. ISSAS aims to solve the vital problems on agricultural development, ecological conservation and environmental protection, and to promote the development of soil sciences. During these years, to build itself into a world-class research center of soil science and make major contributions to the academic progress and national growth of China, the ISSAS strives to push the strategic planning of |gq2|One Three Five|gq2| and “Four First” action plan. In 2018, the ISSAS accomplished the overall goal of “Feature Institutes” with outstanding achievements.

      ISSAS is home to the State Key Laboratory of Soil and Sustainable Agriculture, the CAS Key Laboratory of Soil Environment and Pollution Remediation, the National Engineering Laboratory of Soil Nutrients Management and the National Engineering Laboratory of Soil Pollution Control and Remediation Technologies. It also runs several field stations, including the Key Laboratory of Arable Land Conservation, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, National Agro-Ecosystem Observation and Research Station in Fengqiu, National Agro-Ecosystem Observation and Research Station in Yingtan, National Agro-Ecosystem Observation and Research Station in Changshu, and Ecological Experimental Station of the Three Gorges Project in Zigui, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

      Recently, ISSAS engaged in research on coastal soil classification system, coastal economic and social development, coastal delta soil biogeochemistry and risk assessment, coastal blue carbon, coastal soil pollution and remediation, the key soil belts, emerging pollutants (such as microplastics, antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes), the occurrence and evolution of soil salinization, soil salinization prevention and control, saline-alkali barrier reduction, saline soil resource utilization, soil greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, etc.

      <![CDATA[Arctic REP]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/network/regional-engagement-partners/arctic-rep/ Mon, 14 Nov 2016 15:25:55 +0000 http://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?page_id=7105 7105 7012 0 0 The Arctic Regional Engagement Partner of Future Earth Coasts coordinates transdisciplinary research and action in the northern circumpolar region to support the core agenda of enhanced sustainability in the Earth’s coastal zone. As climate change is increasingly evident along Arctic coasts and challenges the resilience of coastal communities and related human activities, it is exacerbating the impacts of remoteness, limited population size, economic and technical capacity constraints, evolving governance, and globalization in high latitudes.

      Since April 2016, Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) has hosted the Arctic REP offcie in Canada's eastermost city of St.John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.  As the only university in the province, Memorial has a |gq2|special obligation to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador|gq2| written diretly into its mission. Inclusive, interdisciplinary, and publically engaged research collaborations with all stakeholders are a key feature of the university’s work to promote responsible and sustainable development of cold ocean and Arctic resources. They are even more essential to fulfilling its commitment to address challenges faced by the people who live on the coast and make their lives and livelihoods from cold  oceans: the North Atlantic, Labrador Sea, and Arctic waters.  Cold-ocean and Arctic-related research, teaching, learning, and public engagement are significant areas of expertise and activity at Memorial University. Cold Ocean and Arctic Science, Technology, and Society (COASTS) is a pan-university strategic initiative that seeks to grow the university’s impact and meet its “special obligation” to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.

      This type of co-design and co-development is fundamental to the work of Future Earth Coasts and is represented by the shared flagship Circum-Arctic Coastal Communities KnOwledge Network ( CACCON ). Based on community-identified priorities, CACCON builds and mobilizes knowledge through collaborative processes to better understand and address the profound changes occurring in Arctic coastal communities, changes that threaten community well-being, and the sustainability of vital ecosystems and human populations. In partnership with ArcticNET ( a Canadian Network of Centres of Excellence) and other Arctic knowledge networks and programs, including the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA) and Arctic-COAST, CACCON promotes consensus and collaboration to advance local knowledge availability and accessibility for adaptation planning and sustainable development in Arctic coastal communities and regions.

      Other notable examples of transdisciplinary research,  Further examples of co-design and co-development, in which researchers in the network are involved, include:

      • SmartICE (Sea-ice Monitoring And Real-Time Information for Coastal Environments) combines adaptive technology, remote sensing and local Inuit knowledge to promote safe sea ice travel.

      • Adaptive Sustainable housing | Housing, Health and Well-Being across the Arctic | a collaboration between university researchers, Inuit/northern researchers and Inuit partner organizations.
      • Mackenzie-Beaufort Breakup Forum | Mobilizing local knowledge on real-time and near-term conditions during breakup, a critical annual environmental transition affecting access, safety, and emergency response in the region of the Mackenzie Delta, host to several Gwich’in and Inuvialuit communities and the second largest delta on the Arctic Ocean.
      • MEOPAR | Collaboration with the Marine Environmental Observation, Prediction, and Response (MEOPAR) Network of Centres of Excellence on ensuring availability of appropriate weather information supporting safety in marine transport, community resupply, and indigenous access to country food required for food security in many northern coastal communities.

      The aim of the Arctic REP is to expand the Arctic network represented by CACCON to a truly pan-Arctic network to facilitate more community to community knowledge and capacity sharing. This includes inter-regional cooperation on issues of common interest to all circum-Arctic communities, and facilitate in Arctic knowledge exchange for global coastal sustainability.

      The Arctic REP will also capture and highlight ‘bright spots’ and best practice in stakeholder/community engagement leading to more sustainable communities, including bottom-up actions in relation to sustainability policy goals. Through sharing these successful examples of multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary actions that focus on community priorities, we hope to highlight good practice, identify gaps or elements related to examples of failure. We hope that the resulting insights may be a catalyst for change including improvements in governance.

      Our solutions-oriented, transdisciplinary, co-design approach to the challenges facing coastal communities embodies the core philosophy of Future Earth and is relevant globally.

      CACCON is established as a distributed network of local (community or regional) knowledge centres exchanging information, including data, technical capacity, adaptation strategies, or other types of knowledge including Indigenous Knowledge within the community or with peer communities in the circumpolar north.

      Distribution of CACCON pilot sites and other knowledge partner communities engaged with the network.

      Arctic Change 2017 Call for Session Abstracts: Arctic Change as Seen Through the Eyes of Indigenous Guardians

      Abstract submissions are presently being accepted for the 2017 Arctic Change Conference, to be held in Quebec City, Canada, between 11-15 December, 2017. 

      Conveners invite and encourage abstract submissions for the following session:

      Session CBIK03: Arctic Change as Seen Through the Eyes of Indigenous Guardians

      Session Chairs: Trevor Bell, TBD

      This session is intended to explore not only the changes witnessed by Indigenous Guardians (land observers), but how these observations are assembled, recorded and used in local decision-making. Within Canada, there is a growing number of community-to-regional scale observations or 'watchmen' programs, whereby Indigenous peoples monitor and document change in order to better manage and protect their waters, lands and territories. Different regions/communities have adopted different decision-making processes and practices, some of which emphasize Indigenous Knowledge, some combine both IK and scientific data, while others adopt multiple ways of knowing within a geospatial framework. Bringing together Indigenous Guardians and stewards with different perspectives on Arctic change and approaches to observing and documenting such changes will provide an opportunity to share practices and provide valuable insights on decision-making frameworks that incorporate multiple ways of knowing.

      Deadline for abstract submission: Friday, September 22, 2017 

      For more information on submitting abstracts, go to: http://www.arcticnetmeetings.ca/ac2017/pages/abstracts.php

      This REP intends to be a national and international reference aimed at developing a strong network in the South American region concerning the continent-ocean interface and its interactions with economic chains, natural processes and goods and services in face of changes in land uses and global climate. We\u00a0will also contribute to ongoing efforts to minimize dissimilarities by supporting a strong program in capacity building at all levels of education and training. Another goal is to make accessible to society all results obtained in scientific projects and to make them understandable to all levels of education and, therefore, in a way that the resulting data can be used to drawn consistent scenarios of sustainable development of the coastal zone in the reality of the Anthropocene.<\/p>

      Continent-Ocean Materials Transfer<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

      The understanding of the transport, accumulation, cycling and bioavailability of nutrients, organic matter and trace metals in the land-ocean interface will be achieved by comparing different coastal and continental shelf systems along the east-north-northeastern and Southeast-South coastal areas of Brazil under different environmental situations, particularly on the behavior of the fluvial-estuarine continuum under semi-arid (Northeastern coast) humid tropical (North) and sub-tropical humid (Southeastern-south coast) under the intensive human development resulting from pressures due to river damming, water diversion and basin transposition, urbanization, industrialization, agriculture, and aquaculture. The use of environmental geochemical tracers, including both organic and inorganic, natural isotopes and radioisotopes, and historical sets of data and remote sensing analysis will make allow the evaluation of the variation in time of the processes, while paleoenvironmental reconstruction will help understand the response to global climate change.<\/p>

      Moreover, the understanding of the drivers influencing the bioavailability of persistent pollutants (metals and POP\u2019s) and the human exposure to them will subsidy policies related to environmental health.<\/p>

      Major objectives are:<\/p>

      i) On the environmental geochemistry framework: to evaluate the changes in sediment, organic matter, nutrients and pollutants fluxes from the continent downriver to the estuarine areas with emphasis on changes in basin morphology, erosion and sedimentation of estuaries. A hierarchical typology of such drivers should be achieved in order to balance future planning actions for the watersheds and the coastal zone.<\/p>

      ii) On the human dimensions, the project will evaluate social-economic impacts of the productive chains of artisan fisheries and irrigated agriculture of the basins, with emphasis on water use conflicts, erosion of agricultural lands and sedimentation, and options for mitigation and adaptation. On the global and regional climate change scenarios, the project will analyze changes in biodiversity proxies of global and land use changes, including changing of natural ecosystems and biodiversity to construct future scenarios and propose planning strategies.<\/p>

      iii) Establish international cooperation will allow the buildup of human capacity to decrease regional inequalities and the application of the results to solve local, regional, continental and intercontinental problems.<\/p>

      Research Activities: Vulnerability of the continent-ocean interface and threats to society and sustainability of its systems; Integrate the natural, social and economic disciplines that are necessary to collaborate effectively to create consistent scenarios and problem solving ; considers temporal and spatial scales, with an emphasis on the inclusion of socio-economic surveys; transfer the results to government agencies and participants responsible for providing results to support the activities of these agencies and Development of new concepts, tools and strategies.<\/p>

      BabitongaAtiva Project<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

      The Babitonga Bay is the southernmost large representative of a mangrove ecosystem in the subtropical Atlantic (Brazil) and it is surrounded by six coastal urban areas with one million inhabitants and it is the largest metropolitan region of Santa Catarina state. The Babitonga estuary encompasses 75% of the state mangrove areas and holds several critically endangered species of small cetaceans (e.g., porpoises) and marine fishes. In\u00a0total, there are eight Federal Decrees by the Ministry of Environment designating the Babitonga ecosystem as being of national ecological relevance.\u00a0On the other hand, this coastal-marine area is intensively used by more than 1,700 fishermen; two large ports are installed there and about other six facing environmental licensing process. In addition, the Babitonga Bay is also influenced by mining, aquaculture and tourism activities, which do not go along without social conflicts\u00a0and ecological degradation.<\/p>

      This is done through an ecosystems-based project combining transdisciplinary marine social-ecological systems science, an ambitious levels of social participation and very clear policy goals. After one year, the project has regularly engaged with 400 direct resource users in several parallel but interrelated activities. For instance, 177 citizens took part in 19 MSP workshops, while\u00a0other 180 (six groups, one in each city) took part in a ten-month transdisciplinary course on ecosystems stewardship (or eco-citizenship in Portuguese) with the general objective of engaging with operating coastal and marine ecosystems-based policies and\u00a0decision-making structures and building new ones to match the Babitonga ecosystem-level.\u00a0The project thus orchestrates various\u00a0governmental and societal organizations in co-designing new governing structures such as marine protected areas, as part of a bottom-up and inclusive regional Marine Spatial Planning process. The project was also recently entitled by the\u00a0Federal government licensing authority with the opportunity to help unifying several environmental monitoring programs that are\u00a0currently in place for each of the existing ports, into one coherent ecosystems-based monitoring proposal.\u00a0 So far, previous political resistance from municipal\u00a0governments, industry, commerce and fishers to designation of a new MPA, which has been proposed since 2005, is been resolved\u00a0through intense and transparent dialogue and negotiation provided by the project.<\/p>

      Research Activities:<\/strong>Research collaborations sought in coastal governance; design and implementation of marine protected areas; marine spatial planning; ecosystem-services assessment; marine pollution<\/p>

      Coastal systems and regional seas are constantly changing as a result of biophysical and socio‐economic activities. Work will focus on synthesizing existing understanding of the changing state of coasts in terms of risks and future trends and can include:

      • Building on the LOICZ sediment model by adding the ecosystem, geomorphology and governance dimension
      • Identifying socio-economic drivers of change on the coast
      • Developing typologies of coastal vulnerability and resilience at various spatial and temporal scales
      • Application of ecosystem models for assessing impact of anthropogenic activities on coastal biodiversity and resultant future changes in ecosystem productivity in hotspots
      • Identifying and assessing links and feedbacks between social and ecological systems in the coastal zone

      [expand title=|gq2|Please click here if you want to learn more.|gq2|]

      Growth of the human population and migration disproportionately concentrated in coastal regions, places added demands on coastal land space and food resources while increasing nutrient loads and raising vulnerability to inundation and floods. Systems are in place to analyse and understand many components of coastal dynamics, but integrated assessment of changing coastal systems, impacts, feedback, thresholds and effective response mechanisms require further strengthening. It is important to build capacity to comprehend, and where appropriate measure, and adapt to coastal change taking into account thresholds in the coastal system. This entails an understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that define coastal dynamics, and the role of human activities in these changes. We need to understand how coastal social-ecological systems operate, how they generate goods and services for human use, and the implications of human-driven degradation of the system.
      Tools exist to measure the bio-physical characteristics of the coast to explain the structure and functioning of coastal ecosystems subject to environmental forces and constraints imposed mainly on local scales. Changes are ongoing, and in many cases accelerating; many were entrained long before their importance was recognized, and are exemplified by alteration to biogeochemical cycles. The rates, scales, kinds, and combinations of changes occurring now are fundamentally different from those at any other time in history.

      Understanding how changes in the bio-physical characteristics of coastal systems alter opportunity and options for human enterprise is becoming harder as coasts are increasingly subject to phenomena that transcend these conventional scales and apparently well-defined ‘natural’ boundaries are ceasing to be the relevant ones. This theme addresses the science of coastal waters needed to understand and explain ecosystem behaviour beyond the ‘classical’ absence of human “perturbations”, such as long-distance transport of materials, introduction of new species, and human-accelerated climate and land use change. Activity in this theme will seek to evolve existing and develop new tools to investigate the drivers and consequences of changes in scales (temporal and well as spatial) associated with human activities. Biophysical science tools and methodologies measure baseline status and trends over time and can provide information that is critical to underpin an analysis of future options for human enterprise at the coast. Such tools can help understand (1) the rates and implications of alteration of bio-physical coastal systems, and (2) the characteristics and dynamics of the interaction between the numerous human and environmental components of the coast. Such information provides a reference point alongside understanding of the human dimensions of global change—the social, economic, cultural, and other drivers of human actions.

      This theme addresses the science of coastal waters needed to understand and explain ecosystem behaviour beyond the ‘classical’ absence of human “perturbations”, such as long-distance transport of materials, introduction of new species, and human-accelerated climate and land use change.

      Examples of Critical Research Questions that have been identified by the research community are:

      1. How do “hinterland” (river catchment) activities (e.g. damming, deforestation, nutrient loading), together with coastal dynamics, impact on mass, energy and sediment fluxes in the coastal zone?
      2. What is the nature and pace of changes taking place along vulnerable coastlines? Which are the most vulnerable coastal regions in relation to global change?
      3. How will changing coastal water condition (e.g. ocean acidification, eutrophication and hypoxia) impact on biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services in the coastal zone, and what measures could mitigate the undesirable effects?
      4. How will coastal aquifers and groundwater resources respond to sea level rise and increasing saltwater intrusion, and how can freshwater quality be maintained under these conditions?
      5. How will coastal communities be affected by sea-level rise and increasing levels of erosion? What development or management practices have enhanced or inhibited coastal stability, safety of infrastructure, or conservation of coastal habitat?
      6. How can we ensure the long-term survival of coral reefs and mangroves in response to the combined impacts of climate change and other existing stressors?
      7. How can the impacts of climate change on the coastal zone be distinguished from impacts from other sources of Global Environmental Change?

      From these series of questions, possible activities could seek to evolve existing and develop new tools to investigate the drivers and consequences of changes in scales (temporal and well as spatial) associated with human activities, such as:

      • Build on the LOICZ sediment model by adding the ecosystem, geomorphology and governance dimensions to the model
      • Identify socio-economic changes affecting coasts
      • Develop typologies of coastal vulnerability and resilience at relevant spatial and temporal scales
      • Apply ecosystem models to assess the impact of anthropogenic activities on coastal biodiversity and resultant future changes in ecosystem productivity in coastal hotspots

      Coastal change potentially threatens human well‐being. This WG will synthesize the impacts of coastal change on economy and society to understand the interactions between vulnerabilities at the local, regional and global scale, and can include:

      • The development of biophysical constraint models for sustainable development goals
      • Ecological economics
      • Studies of wellbeing
      • Sustainability indicators

      [expand title=|gq2|Please click here if you want to learn more.|gq2|]

      A significant proportion of the global economic activity is generated in the coastal zone, including business arising from activities specific to coastal locations, such as fishing, shipping, tourism, ports, offshore hydrocarbons and marine renewable energy. ‘Blue Growth’, focused on new and emerging maritime sectors, is accelerating development at the coast. Discourse on the ‘greening’ of the blue economy provides an opportunity to consider the development of fast growing marine based industries, whilst protecting the underlying resource upon which they are based. While the coastal zone is clearly vitally important as an economic generator, economic growth should be seen as a means to development, rather than an end in itself. Human development takes a more comprehensive approach, concerning the process of enlarging people’s freedoms and opportunities, and improving well-being. From this perspective, a person’s state of well-being must be understood as being socially and psychologically co-constituted in specific social, political and cultural contexts.

      The agenda for achieving sustainable development goals for people and for the planet in this century includes thriving lives and livelihoods, sustainable food security, sustainable water security, universal clean energy, healthy and productive ecosystems, and governance for sustainable societies. However, during the 20th and early 21st century, biophysical and social constraints have increasingly included energy scarcity, climate change, loss of ecosystem services, the limitations of neoclassical economics, demographics and human settlement patterns.

      Ecosystem services provided by natural environments form the basis for the human economy everywhere and are also at risk from climate change impacts and overuse. Global development is where we can integrate the economic sectors of activity and how it interfaces with the coast. What are the trends? What are the trade-offs? What does this mean for human well-being? Researchers in this field provide insights into the interplay between poverty, vulnerability, power and inequalities. As the international community moves towards the implementation of the SDGs, the human development approach becomes critical, to provide the knowledge needed to understand the links between the dynamic coast and human well-being. This theme focuses on the most pressing challenges of sustainable development and well-being among coastal communities, such as the need for clean drinking water, energy, food, health and access to supporting ecosystem services. There is a critical need for the social sciences and humanities to inform options for decision-making around issues such as access to marine resources, ecosystem restoration, coastal livelihoods, environmental impact, food security, and transitioning to new energy futures.
      An important element of sustainability science is to develop a framework within which constraints to sustainable development can be analysed. It is likely that sustainable development will be difficult if not impossible for some areas of the earth. It is critical that these issues be considered in future sustainable coastal development plans. Alternative models for global development and our coasts are also needed so that human ingenuity and technological innovation in areas such as marine renewable energy and sustainable fishing techniques can be harnessed to deal with the consequences of over-exploitation.

      Examples of Critical Research Questions that have been identified by the research community are:

      1. What are the alternative pathways for avoiding the impact of global development on our coasts?
      2. How can human ingenuity and technological innovation stem the tide of destruction to coastal ecosystem goods and services?
      3. How can communication about coastal ecosystem goods and services promote their sustainable management?

      From these series of questions, possible activities could includes the development and application of conceptual frameworks and indicators to take stock of the complex interplay between social and natural planetary systems and boundaries, such as:

      • Develop biophysical constraint models for sustainable development goals
      • Advance the development and application of coastal sustainability indicators, incorporating factors such as ecological economics and human well-being.

      Arguably the most altered and imperiled social-ecological systems on Earth, coasts are characterised by pervasive unsustainable practices. Human pursuit of sustainability will be gauged by the extent to which coastal communities can design development pathways and navigate towards sustainable coastal development. Much can be learned from the successes and failures of coastal management endeavours over the last four to five decades. Business as usual is patently unsustainable in an era of global change with intensifying human pressure and escalating disaster risk at the land-sea interface. Transformative change is necessary to transition towards safer and more resilient and sustainable pathways.

      Capacity needs to be built so that coastal communities, vulnerable to sea-level rise, storm surges, coastal hazards, ecosystem degradation, and loss of ecosystem services (e.g. loss of ice), and economic decline, can transition towards alternative futures. This involves a process of understanding the need for significant systemic changes, informed by scientific analysis of trends, acknowledging local knowledge and ‘ways of knowing’, and taking stock of social-ecological system constraints and opportunities for transformation. This endeavour demands innovative research and practices that ‘think outside the box’ – with new modalities of transdisciplinary action research that complement traditional disciplinary research. There are many gaps in our knowledge and understanding about how to transform prevailing coastal thinking and practices.

      Understanding transformation pathways requires identification of the near- to long-term choices towards specified goals, including choices pertaining to governance, technological innovation, economy, environment, social justice, health and well-being in the coastal zone. Such considerations necessitate re-framing how we understand and take actions in pursuit of ‘human progress’ with vitally important implications for how we reconcile individual, group and societal interests, rights and responsibilities within and between generations. By focusing on transition pathways, the Coastal Futures research is needed to help inform perceptions, alternatives, scenarios and choices about our coastal future at multiple levels. An interdisciplinary approach is required to build understanding of how today’s actions influence future options. This also involves diagnostics of key enablers and barriers to transformation, from the bureaucracy of institutions to the behaviour of individuals, that can foster sustainable outcomes or trigger maladaptive practices. Futures initiative places collaborative visioning, joint problem-solving, social learning, and adaptive planning at its core. Research outcomes need to show value from both rapid and long-term engagements with stakeholders; enable shifting paradigms for sustainable development of the coast; facilitate a comparative analysis of capacity for change; and provide an opportunity to produce a global synthesis of pathways to sustainable coastal development.

      Examples of Critical Research Questions that have been identified by the research community are:

      1. What kind of desired coastal futures are we transitioning to?
      2. What are the ethical implications of prevailing practices and alternative transformative pathways in the face of persistent poverty, inequity and entrenched power imbalances?
      3. What are the barriers and enablers for societal transformation to enable coastal resilience and sustainability?
      4. How are human patterns of consumption shaped by education programs, research, financial incentives, and other policy instruments?
      5. Under which key conditions do governance actors, processes and structures drive transformative change towards solving coastal collective action problems?
      6. How and when does the self-interested individual turn into a collective actor? How relevant are social identity, (new/local) social norms and principles in this respect?

      From these series of questions, possible activities could include actions that could co-design models for stakeholder engagement, involving actors from government, industry, science and civil society, and work across local to global sustainability agendas / FEC Application Arenas to facilitate transformative change, that work with complexity, diverse norms and principles; go beyond incremental change; and are relatively simple to roll-out, such as:

      • Develop a ‘Coastal Futures’ assessment and capability building approach with a focus on the interactions between the global, regional, national and local levels and related initiatives e.g., SDGs, UNEP Regional Seas, National coastal policy provisions and local programmes and projects.
      • Diagnose future coastal scenarios and sustainability pathways by developing a framework for assessment, based on futures research and transition science.
      • Refine and apply methodologies for governance baseline assessments taking into consideration incorporation of ICZM practices in coastal management (e.g. decision making, discourse analysis, participatory frameworks, adaptation and stakeholder mapping)
      • Build capacity to incorporate knowledge from behavioural science and psychology
      • Catalogue bright spots and dark spots with respect enablers and inhibitors of sustainability at the coast
      • Synthesise transformative pathways identified in this work.

      Hosting the FEC-IPO ist not only a great honour, it is a great chance for ZMT. While ZMT has a strong research network in the tropics, collaborating within FEC now allows for comparative studies and regionally large-scale approaches - an ideal basis for a mutually beneficial cooperation. And for addressing global issues, this is priceless.|gq2|
      Prof. Dr. Hildegard Westphal, Scientific Director of ZMT

      ZMT dedicates its training and research to the study and better understanding of coastal ecosystems in the tropics. These include mangroves, coral reefs, seagrass meadows, but also rivers, estuaries, coastal waters and upwelling systems. ZMT scientists analyse the natural processes of these habitats. They explore the ecosystems‘ interdependency with the hinterland and the open ocean. The structure and functionality of tropical coastal ecosystems, resource use and resilience against human intervention and natural changes are at the centre of the studies. ZMT is an interdisciplinary institute and works in close cooperation with partners in the tropics, where it supports capacity building and the development of infrastructures in the area of sustainable coastal zone management. ZMT is a member of the Leibniz Association. More information at www.leibniz-zmt.de

      Interdisciplinarity at ZMT

      Tropical coasts and their ecosystems, shaped by increasing pressures ranging from overpopulation to increasing pollution levels and coastal erosion, are among the most challenged social-ecological systems on our planet. Addressing these highly complex challenges requires the disciplinarily differentiated strengths and interdisciplinarily socialised capacities.

      For effectively undertaking highly interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research activities in large collaborative projects, as well as disciplinary-oriented research where needed, ZMT thus fosters a balanced combination of a wide variety of disciplines, ranging from biology and ecology to biogeochemistry, chemistry, geology, mathematical modelling, geography, economics, sociology and anthropology.

      Capacity development

      Important objectives of ZMT are the development and exchange of knowledge and competencies. The Bremen-based institute provides training for students and doctoral students from all over the world. ZMT scientists teach at the universities of Bremen and the surrounding region, contributing significantly to international study courses, such as the master programme ISATEC (International Studies in Aquatic Tropical Ecology), which is offered in cooperation with the University of Bremen. ZMT supports the establishment and development of expertise and structures in the tropics to allow for a sustainable management of coastal zones. In its partner countries, the institute organises international summer schools and offers courses and practical training. ZMT‘s certified Centre for Scientific Diving provides training for scientists to become scientific divers pursuant to the standards of the German employers’ liability insurance.

      Cooperation and consultation

      ZMT scientists conduct research in close cooperation with stakeholders and central actors from science, politics, economy, NGOs and the civil society - both at national and international level – in order to support a stronger integration of sustainable development and protection of tropical coastal ecosystems in society. In this context, ZMT‘s Office for Knowledge Exchange (OKE) serves as a hub to generate research networks between these different stakeholders. At the same time, the OKE is both an institutional focal point for national and international research, educational and governmental institutions for the exchange of expert knowledge.

      State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research (SKLEC) is the earliest state key lab of ECNU that was established by the State Planning Commission of China in 1989 and went into operation in December 1995. Presently, SKLEC employs more than 100 fulltime faculty and staff members. There are three main research streams of SKLEC: Estuarine Evolution and Estuarine Sediment Dynamics; Coastal Dynamic Geomorphology and Sediment Process; and Estuarine and Coastal Ecology and Environment. Achievements of the laboratory were used to solve problems encountered in coastal development of China, especially many large engineering projects, such as national survey on coastal resources, construction for harbors and ports, navigation channel regulations projection of coastal wetlands and engineering structures. SKLEC has become a national site for high level research on estuarine and coastal environment and a high level training base in China.

      Current position: 

      Professor
      Affiliation:

      AGH University of Science and Technology | Krakow, Poland

      Prof. Jozef M. Pacyna is a Professor at the Faculty of Energy and Fuels of the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland and a former Research Director of the Norwegian Institute for Air Research in Kjeller, Norway. He was awarded a Visiting Professorship at the University of Michigan (1992-1993), the Chalmers 150th Anniversary Visiting Professor at the Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden (1994 – 1997), and a 2006 Visiting Professorship at the Yale University.

      Prof. Pacyna’s expertise is on biogeochemical cycling and fluxes of mercury, other heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and radionuclides in the environment with focus on coastal zone ecosystems. Another field of his expertise is related to the implementation of environmental strategies and policies defined within international agreements on emission and flux reductions, including cost-benefit analysis of this implementation. He has been one of the lead authors providing UNEP with scientific justification for the UN Minamata convention.

      Prof. Pacyna has been a coordinator of the EU European Land-Ocean Interaction Studies (ELOISE) Framework (62 EU projects); a chairman of the Scientific Steering Committee of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP) program on Land-Ocean Interactions in Coastal Zone (LOICZ); and a member of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) Coastal Panel.

      Prof. Pacyna is the author of more than 450 scientific publications, including more than 120 papers in peer-reviewed journals and more than 30 books and book chapters. His works have been cited about 20 000 times, bringing his citation index H to 40. In 2012 he received Life Achievement Award for recognition of his outstanding contribution to advancing scientific knowledge of heavy metals in the environment, and their impact upon human health.

      I will be glad to connect on research related to impact of climate change on coastal ecosystems, pollution of the coastal areas, water continuum from rivers to coastal areas and further to open sea, urbanization as a major driver of coastal ecosystem change.

      Dr. Newton is a chemical oceanographer focusing on the assessment of eutrophication in coastal lagoons and coastal social-ecological systems. She has more than 30 years of experience in coordinating several international and national research programmes across scientific disciplines such as Land-Oceans Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ), a forerunner of Future Earth Coasts.

      Dr. Newton advises various national, international and multinational governmental and non-governmental organizations as well as research funding agencies, on aspects of science-policy implementation, (e.g. the Water Framework Directive, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, Regional Seas Commissions and the UN 2nd World Ocean Assessment).

      I am particularly interested in international capacity building of early career researchers and the development of interdisciplinary higher education programmes (post-graduate,Master and PhD).

      I am also very interested strengthening cross-linkages between Future Earth Coasts, Integrated Marine Biosphere Research (IMBeR) and  Future Earth Ocean Knowledge Action Networks (Ocean KAN).

      Current position:  

      Research Scientist
      Affiliation:

      Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University | USA

      Dennis served on the Scientific Steering Committee of the LOICZ (Land Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone) program of the IGBP from 2005-2011, and has been involved with developing biogeochemical budgets of coastal systems in the Baltic and elsewhere.

      His more recent work focuses on nutrient accounting in large watersheds and the relationship of NANI (Net Anthropogenic Nutrient (N&P) Inputs) to riverine nutrient fluxes. Other research has included developing methods of estimating ecosystem metabolism in estuaries, modelling nutrient transport through watersheds to the coast, and modelling ecological responses of watersheds and coastal ecosystems to climate and land use changes.

      I continue to be interested in coastal biogeochemical cycles, nutrient loading from coastal watersheds, and nutrient budgets and accounting, as well as relevant modelling approaches.

      Title: Deltas associated with large rivers: Seeking solutions to the problem of sustainability
      Acronym:Mega-Delta Working Group
      Brief Description:River deltas are critical for human development as they support a variety of social-economical activities and ecosystems. However, there is a general trend that the delta growth rate is decreasing, resulting in intensified delta erosion and increasing flooding risk; salt-marshes and mangroves are shrinking and the ecosystem is under threat. This has become a global issue needing international collaboration to address. To deal with the increasing risks the deltas are facing, in this FEC Work Group, we propose to systematically and interdisciplinarily investigate the present status of ~25 representative deltas and the threatens they are facing, the methodology for new delta blueprints, the blueprints dealing with critical delta characteristics, and the sustainability of the delta system and its capacity to support regional development for deltas of different physical processes and ecological and economic importance. The objective is to find the solutions to support sustainable and eco-friendly human and nature development in delta regions, and to increase resilience to external changes as regards to river-borne sediment supply decline, sea-level rise, stormy conditions, and the conflicts between human activities and nature conservation.

      Title: Sustainable Resilient Coasts
      Acronym:COAST
      Brief Description:

      Coastal zones are at the frontline of sustainability challenges, arising from the exploitation of natural resources such as fish stocks, loss of cultural heritage, changing demographics, waste disposal, and climate change impacts. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA). The coast is one of the most significant unifying habitats in the region.

      It is imperative to build the resilience of coastal communities around the world, and in the Arctic and northern periphery in particular. The project will provide a roadmap for protecting, promoting and developing the cultural and natural heritage of sparsely populated and remote coastal communities. Local authorities play a pivotal role in enabling resilience building and coastal sustainability. The project will produce a COAST Toolbox for local authorities, focusing on SMART Blue Growth, which is based on principles of sustainability, mitigation, planning, adaptation, resilience and transition.

      COAST-project seeks to establish the NPA region as a demonstration of how to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the coast. The project brings together five partners and six associate partners from Iceland, Finland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. The approach includes four demonstration cases, addressing the challenges of sparsely populated, remote coastal communities. Each case is strongly supported through the partners, associates and letters of support, to ensure effective delivery and implementation at the local authority level. COAST applies a three step conceptual framework called Our
      Coastal Futures, designed to:
      i) Enable regional stakeholders and institutions to develop a common understanding of future coastal scenarios;
      ii) Craft robust strategies for charting a desired coastal future; and
      iii) Create mechanism to achieve these desired outputs

      Title: A Sea of Connections: Contextualizing Fisheries in the South Pacific Region
      Acronym:SOCPacific
      Brief Description:The South Pacific region represents a unique context in which local communities and their political representatives are increasingly committed to integrated management of marine resources and spaces after a predicted dissolution of related community-based activities in the 1970s. This holds especially true for fisheries, the main field of activity in this oceanscape and a critical component of local livelihoods, national and regional economies, and global fish supplies. Fisheries remain one of the most important concerns on the national and regional policy agendas in the Pacific. Recent studies have started to take into account the multi-faceted aspects of Pacific fisheries by articulating ecological and economic perspectives.
      Our project aims at broadening this endeavour by re-embedding coastal and oceanic fisheries in their wider context and by exploring the large web of socio-cultural, geopolitical and policy connections within which (largely coastal) fishing practices occur. For this, we conduct an interdisciplinary and multi-level analysis across diverse scales and dimensions of fisheries, fisheries management and marine governance in the South Pacific region, including local perceptions and practices, global changes and drivers, and national and regional management frameworks and strategies. This analysis focuses on three study areas: New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji where fieldwork periods will be conducted.
      Three thematic areas will be at the core of the project’s cross-sectional investigations:
      1) An environmental anthropology assessment of social values of places and resources in connection with offshore and inshore fisheries;
      2) A socio-political ecology perspective on interwoven fisheries and conservation issues within marine protected areas;
      3) A policy analysis of the inclusion of fisheries in marine spatial planning.

      Title: Nunataryuk - Permafrost thaw and the changing Arctic coast, science for socio-economic adaptation
      Acronym:Nunataryuk
      Brief Description:

      Permafrost coasts in the Arctic make up 34% of the world's coasts and represent a key interface for human-environmental interactions. These coasts provide essential ecosystem services, exhibit high biodiversity and productivity, and support indigenous lifestyles. At the same time, this coastal zone is a dynamic and vulnerable zone of expanding infrastructure investment and growing health concerns. Climate warming is affecting this fragile environment by triggering coastal landscape instability and increased hazard exposure.

      A high proportion of Arctic residents live near permafrost coasts and many derive their livelihood from marine resources. They will be directly impacted by rapidly changing conditions at the Arctic coast. Permafrost thaw will lead to destabilisation of infrastructure and natural resource extraction facilities , directly impacting the economy. Greater fluxes of sediment and organic matter from coastal erosion could impact the nearshore ecosystem, including aquatic resources . Permafrost thaw has also been shown to play a role in the health of Arctic coastal communities through changes in water quality and through the potential release of contaminants, frozen bacteria and anthrax. Yet, all of these issues have so far been considered in isolation because of the lack of data for Arctic coastal regions.

      The pressing challenge is therefore to quantify and project organic matter, sediment and contaminant fluxes from thawing coastal and subsea permafrost and to accurately assess the implications of permafrost thaw for the indigenous populations, the local communities and the local environment in the Arctic coastal areas. The main goal of Nunataryuk is thus to determine the impacts of thawing land, coast and subsea permafrost on the global climate and on humans in the Arctic and to develop targeted and co-designed adaptation and mitigation strategies.

      The overall strategy of the Nunataryuk project is to transdisciplinarily bring together high-ranking European and international specialists of the Arctic coast, including natural scientists and the major European socio-economic science groups in order to address these pressing challenges. The project will be a user-driven directly addressing the concerns of local and global stakeholders with regards to permafrost thaw in coastal areas of the Arctic. Nunataryuk will use a conceptual framework inspired by the IPCC report on risks and by the experience gained from interaction with local stakeholders over the past decades. Permafrost thaw is the core focus of Nunataryuk and will be used as the common thread for early consultations with community representatives and other stakeholders.

      Title:Coastal Governance: Embracing Vulnerability and Change
      Acronym:-
      Brief Description:

      This project aims to discover innovative coastal governance approaches  that embrace vulnerability and change. This is critical because current  coastal management approaches are failing as existing threats intensify  and novel threats emerge. New knowledge is expected to be generated on  diverse vulnerabilities, with insights furthering the theory and  practice of coastal management. This is significant to advancing the  disciplines of human geography and public policy through improved  understanding of the relationships between people, place and change.  Governance innovations are expected to support ongoing economic,  environmental, social and cultural benefits that are derived from the  coast.

      The project is supported by the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council's Discovery Projects Funding Scheme (Project FT180100652).

      Title:

      Coastal Pollution Toolbox

      Acronym:-
      Brief Description:

      The Coastal Pollution Toolbox is a digital working environment and tool set to study contaminant, nutrient and carbon dynamics in temperate and polar coastal zones. It allows to structure investigations and to provide scientifically sound assessments and products to elucidate origin, effects, and mitigation options. Thereby, it targets to support management of chemical entities for a cleaner ocean.

       The toolbox seeks to support the SDG implementation process. The UN-Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development aims at improving the environmental status of the oceans. As SDG #14 specifically addresses the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas and marine resources, and as it targets to prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds by 2025, the Coastal Pollution Toolbox guides management of land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution, towards coastal sustainability.

       In order to solve the contradiction that exists between some areas of the SDG implementation process, the development of the toolbox emphasizes the interactions between goals, such as SDG #14 and SDG #13 (|gq2|climate action|gq2|), and SDG #7 (|gq2|ubiquitous, affordable, reliable clean and modern energy|gq2|). In addition, pollution research in the area of urban air quality and the role of shipping emissions considers health effects and human's exposure, and therefore supports to achieve SDG #11 („sustainable cities and communities|gq2|). Research is carried out based on studying multiple stressors and cumulative effects of marine activities, causing pollution, at the coast and in the sea.

       To provide solution-oriented research in support of meeting the grand challenges of societal concern, an interdisciplinary and international group of researchers will contribute to the development of the toolbox by using user-centred and participatory co-design processes over the upcoming seven years.

      Title: Pathways Of Dispersal for Cholera And Solution Tools DEMOnstrator
      Acronym:PODCAST-DEMO
      Brief Description:

      Cholera is a waterborne epidemic disease affecting 1.3 to 4 million people each year worldwide, with 21,000 to 143,000 reported fatalities. Highest incidence is reported in highly-populated coastal regions, connected with enhanced pollution of water bodies and food sources, especially through contamination of drinking water sources. The responsible pathogen, Vibrio cholerae, is harboured by planktonic and detrital hosts, and survive transportation by ocean currents. New reports of pathogen emergence and associated disease outbreaks have been shown in relation with global warming and increase of extreme climate and weather events such as droughts and floods, storm surges, and heat waves.
      We propose to develop the proof-of-concept project ‘PODCAST-DEMO’, a web-based visualisation and analysis tool to provide local populations and public health authorities with robust information on climate-driven hotspots of Vibrio cholerae in the northern Indian Ocean. The information products will be developed based on a pilot model that uses systematic observations of key climate indicators from the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI), in-situ and clinical data from publicly available archives.

      The ultimate goal of this demonstrator will be to provide a decision-support tool that enables stakeholders to implement preventative measures and so reduce risk for human health.

      Current position:  

      Professorial Fellow and Director CSERGE
      Affiliation:

      Centre for Social & Economic Research on the Global Environment (CSERGE), School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia (UEA) | UK

      Dr. Turner has specialized in environmental and ecological economics since the 1970s with a particular interest in coastal and marine issues. He has over 350 publications, many of which (books and articles) focusing on coastal and marine management problems. He served on the LOICZ Programme for a number of years as a committee member and socio-economic lead. As well as his academic position he has held a number of public sector positions dealing with environmental management, in recognition of which he was awarded a CBE by the UK Government in the year 2000. More recently he has been Chair of the Broads National Park Authority (until 2009) and Co-Chair of the UK National Ecosystem Assessment Follow on Programme (until 2014). 
      Dr. Turner's current research has focused on ecosystem services valuation and natural capital accounting both in coastal/marine and terrestrial contexts, covering issues such as carbon sequestration and storage services in the marine environment, sediments, saltmarshes and mangroves; and coastal recreation and amenity valuation. For him, environmental policy and management must be supported and enabled by high quality interdisciplinary research reaching collaboratively across the natural and social sciences.

      Current position: 

      Director

      Affiliation:National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management, Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Government of India | India

      Prof. R. Ramesh is the Director of the National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India. His expertise includes coastal ecosystem biogeochemistry and coastal zone management.  Ramesh has been involved in several national and international expert committees on coastal management.

      Most significant research achievements are summarized under 6 broad thematic areas:

      • Coastal Governance: The Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, introduced in 1991 and subsequently revised in the years 2011 and 2019 is the central focus of research, supporting science-driven policy to the MoEFCC. One of the significant achievements has been the delineation of the hazard line, which considers the most landward extent of 1 in 100-year flood event and the erosion in the next 100-year time frame. The composite hard line, which is the most landward of both flood and erosion has been demarcated for the entire mainland coast of India.  This line has also been incorporated in the Coastal Zone Management Plans (CZMPs) of all the coastal States/ UTs, including the demarcation of the High Tide Line (HTL) and Low Tide Line (LTL).  The demarcation of the HTL for the entire country (~78000 km) using a standard methodology serves as a baseline for all conservation goals and developmental activities along India’s coastline.
      • Conservation of coastal/ marine resources: High on the research agenda is the conservation of natural coastal/ marine resources. As a first step, a comprehensive mapping over 34,000 sq km of all the eleven Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESAs), on 1:10000 scale, as per the CRZ Notification. CRZ-I areas along the country have been demarcated based on the extent of coastal/ marine resources. Both activities (a) and (b) has aided a science and evidence-based policy decisions for conservation and other developmental activities on India’s coastline.
      • Cutting-edge research on Blue Carbon Sinks: Besides the regulatory requirements, advanced research has been and is being conducted to use the available information and data of coastal/ marine ecosystems, to adhere to India’s Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) to climate change. Blue carbon ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass meadows and salt marshes have been studied for carbon sequestration potential to create additional carbon sinks.
      • Pollution Abatement: As a consequence of unabated land based activities, coastal/ marine pollution was an integral part of core research. Catchment based pollution sources were addressed – particularly excessive nutrients from agriculture runoff, untreated sewage discharge, oil spill event(s) and marine debris including micro plastics have been studied extensively. Nature-identical solution by developing a consortia of bacteria to breakdown crude oil in a short time frame of 21 days has been demonstrated.
      • Island research: For the first time, carrying capacity of small islands in terms of its physical, environmental and ecological carrying capacities has been accomplished for the inhabited and uninhabited islands of Lakshadweep. This science-based research has resulted in green development of the blue islands
      • Capacity Building and Science Communication: Coastal management is an amalgamation of dynamic and multi-disciplinary science that demands an understanding of socio-ecological perspectives. Socio-economic research has been a connecting thread between natural and social sciences through the various projects undertaken. These have been achieved various means such as trainings and capacity building at all levels and through science communication by easily understandable infographics. This helps the coastal community in understanding the value of coastal/ marine biodiversity and in conserving these resources for future generations.

The regional headquarters is the Mona Campus, Jamaica and the other campuses include St. Augustine (Trinidad and Tobago) Cave Hill (Barbados), the Five Islands Campus (Antigua and Barbuda) and the Open Campus. The University’s mission is to advance learning, create knowledge and foster innovation for the positive transformation of the Caribbean and the wider world.  As Small Island Developing States coastal management is a major priority since it is pivotal to the socio-economic transformation and development of the Caribbean’s population. The UWI’s programmes reflect its mission and priorities.

      The Future Earth Regional Engagement Partner is based at The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine Campus, Trinidad and Tobago in the Department of Geomatics Engineering and Land Management, Faculty of Engineering. The host department offers a M.Sc. Urban and Regional Planning, which inter alia, addresses Future Earth Coasts hotspot themes such as Planning in the Coastal Zone and Small Island Developing States Natural Resources Management. A M.Sc. and Graduate Diploma in Coastal Engineering and Management are offered in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. These programmes actively seek to promote interdisciplinary research and inclusivity among communities through stakeholder engagement. Research collaboration with partners such as the Institute of Marine Affairs, the Town and Country Planning Division, the Environmental Management Authority and community-based organisations, which promote sustainable coastal management, has had the benefit of co-designed research and project implementation.

      The REP sees as a primary mandate and mission, the necessity to promote awareness and knowledge of the critical anthropogenic drivers that impact small island developing states (SIDS). Climate change and disaster risks are considered issues that are undermining the efforts of SIDS to attain sustainable development. The REP proposes to work toward finding innovative ways using a science-policy-practice interface framework to abate these complex challenges in the face of limited financial resources. A long-term goal is to establish a network of young professionals in small islands who can develop new thinking on solving persistent coastal management complexities and who can actively champion inclusive, sustainable, safe and resilient human settlements.

      |gq2|As a marine scientist, I seek novel approaches to integrate ocean science and socioeconomics that effectively support decision and policy making, and help resolve conflicts among diverse stakeholder groups in the use and management of the coasts and oceans at multiple governance scales.

      I bring 30 years of experience as professor (Philippines and USA) and global change scientist (with regional project exposure in Southeast Asia and the Caribbean), to my current role as project consultant for international marine projects which require interdisciplinary technical and policy inputs and consensus-building facilitation among multiple interest groups.|gq2|

      I am keen to contribute to a working group with a goal of developing and assessing meaningful metrics/ indicators that document ecosystem (environmental, economic, social) change in the global coast as a lens for defining progress towards SDGs.

      Lynn Donelson  Wright, C. Reid Nichols (Editors)
      Springer; 2019

      This book is intended as a conceptual roadmap to show how some of the numerous pieces of complex coastal systems intersect and might interact under changing future environmental regimes. It is addressed to a non-technical but environmentally literate audience that includes the lay public, policy makers, planners, engineers and academics interested in the causes and consequences of global changes as they are likely to affect coastal systems. The book also outlines some strategies for anticipating and responding to the challenges that lie ahead.

      The purpose is not to offer a technical treatise on how to build better numerical models or to provide the cognoscenti with new scientific details or theories. Quite on the contrary the authors aim to provide a holistic, easy-accessible overview of coastal systems and therefore use a writing style that is non-technical, nonmathematical and non-jargonized throughout. Wherever scientific terms are required to avoid ambiguity, a clear and simple definition is presented and those definitions are repeated in the glossary. The authors aim to communicate with all who care about the future of coastal environments.
      In Part 1, they present some underlying general “big picture” concepts that are applicable to coastal processes and coastal change worldwide. Part 2 reviews some of the more important physical, ecological and societal causes and outcomes of coastal change. A selection of case studies of some prominent and highly vulnerable coastal regions is presented in Part 3. Some strategies for facilitating and supporting collaboration among the global scientific community to enhance future coastal resilience are outlined in Part 4.

It is the primary output of a major international scientific project sponsored by the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme, the Land-Ocean Interactions at the Coastal Zone programme of IHDP/IGBP, and others. It brings together the work of over 60 contributing authors and an international review board. It presents the international policy and academic community with an unbiased and high quality assessment of the state-of-the art in areas of social-ecological systems interaction. One of its main messages is that while we know a great deal about megacities of more than ten million people and about urban processes, and about coasts and their physical and ecological processes (aquatic, physical and atmospheric), there is relatively little work that focusses primarily at points of intersection between large-scale urbanization and the coast. The book responds to this gap by providing the first global synthesis of megacity and large urban region urbanization on the coast. Its focus is on environmental and development challenges, climate change and disaster. It is interdisciplinary and brings together world recognised scientists (including many IPCC lead authors) on urban climate and atmosphere, disaster risk management, demography and coastal environments.]]> 6105 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Supporting Blue Growth and Risk Management through Earth Observation | 17-20 October 2017 | Saint Lucia, Eastern Caribbean]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=8353 https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=8353 A 4 day course exploring the use of Earth Observation Data to support Blue Growth & Risk Management in the Eastern Caribbean

      17-20 October 2017, Saint Lucia - Eastern Caribbean

      The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission presents a workshop on Supporting Blue Growth and Risk Management through Earth Observation, to be held in Saint Lucia, 17 to 20 October, 2017. The workshop will be funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and implemented in partnership with the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), Future Earth Coasts, University College Cork (MaREI - Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland), the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and the World Bank.

      The objective of the workshop is to build capacity in remote sensing focusing on coastal information for operational projects. The potential and opportunity for Earth observation to support development of maritime economies and adaption to risk and vulnerability from climate change, in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals will be illustrated. Examples in thematic areas of fisheries and aquaculture development, maritime monitoring control and surveillance, sargassum issues and opportunities, and climate change resilience and adaptation measures will be used to illustrate the utility of Earth observation data.

      The workshop will produce a report outlining recommendations and systemic actions to support blue growth and risk mitigation initiatives in the Caribbean region, recognising the potential role of states, the OECS, other regional organisations, international financing institutions, space agencies and local innovators.

       

      The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States together with Future Earth Coast of the University College Cork (UCC), Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland (MaREI) are holding a four day training workshop exploring the use of Earth Observation Data to enhance Blue Growth in the Eastern Caribbean.

      Funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), this four-day training workshop will be facilitated by Future Earth Coast of the University College Cork (UCC), Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland (MaREI), big data processing company TERRASIGNA, the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank.

      The purpose of this training workshop is to explore the use of Earth Observation in harnessing Blue Growth opportunities in the Eastern Caribbean States. The course is set out to further develop the Blue Growth strategy for the Eastern Caribbean States by looking at the how Earth Observation data can be incorporated and why it is worth exploring.

      The course will run over four days with Earth Observation specialists explaining existing tools, how to use these and which data is available and how they can be used in light of supporting Fisheries and Aquaculture developments, Maritime Safety and Security, tackle Sargassum issues and opportunities and Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation measures. Specific case studies will be presented to help illustrate how Earth Observation data is currently being used. The final day will focus on lessons learnt from previous initiatives and best practices to take Earth Observation as a tool forward in the Blue Growth agenda for all Eastern Caribbean States. Each day is set out to have interactive sessions to develop a roadmap of the opportunities, challenges and barriers in order to further enhance the existing Blue Growth agenda within existing frameworks like the Sustainable Development Goals.

      The European Space Agency (ESA) are funding the Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland (MaREI) and The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) to host a four-day course aligning with World Bank initiatives to explore the use of Earth Observation in harnessing Blue Growth opportunities in the Eastern Caribbean States. Participants from all the OECS member states from Antigua and Barbuda, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines, with the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla and Martinique as associate members of the OECS will come together to take part in this workshop. .

      Future Earth Coasts & MaREI are co-organisers of this 4-day course, together with ESA & the OECS they will provide EO techniques to enhance blue growth in the Caribbean as part of the EODAT (Earth Observation Uptake in Developing Countries) project.

      About EODAT: The ESA-funded Earth Observation Uptake in Developing Countries (EODAT) project is demonstrating the capability for EO data to be harnessed in providing high quality geo-information services which align with ESA, World Bank, and Inter-American Development Bank priorities. Of the 6 service demonstrations in development, UCC is leading the implementation of a capacity building service focused on Blue Growth in the Caribbean region. Service delivery involves implementation of a hands-on learning course (to be held in Saint Lucia) covering various topics which affect the extent and impact of blue growth, and demonstrating the capacity for EO data analysis to contribute to information delivery in each topic area.

      Our links to other projects: CINMarS is a strategic initiative funded by the European Space Agency, aiming to support the development of stronger links between the space and maritime sectors. It achieved this by identifying mechanisms to underpin a short to medium-term strategy or roadmap for actors in both sectors.  This roadmap enables industry and policy leaders to (i) enhance our ability to formulate improved understanding of requirements, (ii) foster more opportunities for joint working, and (iii) promote innovation to support and increase employment and economic opportunities.

      Co-ReSyf, funded by the European Commission, aims to support the development of coastal research through satellite data. This will be achieved by creating an online platform to support research applications that use Earth Observation (EO) data for coastal water monitoring.  The platform will: (i) enhance our research to formulate improved understanding of requirements, (ii) incorporate EO data use into multi-disciplinary research activities by simplifying the process, and (iii) train the coastal scientists of tomorrow with a dedicated summer school.

The celebration of Africa Day of Seas and Oceans is one of the recommendations of the 2050 Africa’s Integrated Maritime Strategy (AIMS). The 2050 AIM Strategy provides a broad framework for the protection and sustainable exploitation of Seas and Oceans of Africa. Protecting the ocean is everyone business – and so the responsibility of every African.
      “It is the biggest ecosystem containing 96% of the living space on Earth and covering 71% of the Earth surface. Its marine resources face the danger of global warming, ocean acidification, de-oxygenation, marine plastic pollution and more,” says the Abidjan Convention. The Conference will be held on the 23-24th of May 2018 in Monrovia, Liberia. The overarching theme for ADSO 2018 is “Encouraging Solutions to Marine Environmental Degradation and Sustainable Resource Management”. The Conference looks to engage scientists from professional networks across the world and policy makers who directly participate in the management of the marine and coastal environments. Find out more about this exiting conference here. The symposium will be a collaboration with relevant stakeholders in the maritime domain. For further information, please contact the Organizing Chairman, Sheck Sherif, of the Liberia Maritime Training Institute and Queen’s University Belfast at sheck.sherif@gmail.com

Tell you what - let's throw a bunch of artists and a geographer from the States plus an Irish public engagement specialist in the FEC-ing mix and explore how we can make Sustainable Development Goal 14 Life Below Water more prominent on peoples agenda....so the scene setting began for a workshop session held at the second Society and Sea conference where we explored how Art could facilitate, ignite and support Global Coastal sustainability.

      Connecting Art & Science in Support of Coastal Sustainability Development In a world of constantly shifting biophysical and social realities, we face an ever-evolving and urgent need for new ideas around the conception and realisation of sustainable development. This is especially pertinent in coastal land and sea spaces: spaces where the greatest confluence of societal activities occurs and some of the most productive and dynamic natural systems must co-exist. Despite continued discourse around the importance of the oceans and coasts, epitomised by Sustainable Development Goal 14, Life Below Water, gaining traction remains agonisingly slow when it comes to shifting behaviours or resonating with society on a broader scale.  But how do we broaden the conversation? How do we change our own operating procedures in order to galvanise momentum for action? We all recognise that people process knowledge and communicate that knowledge differently. Historically there has been a strong connection between the Arts and Sciences, just think of the work of Leonardo da Vinci who is recognised as a master of Art and Science. Both Science and Art share a common motivation and goal to understand and describe the world around us. Art, in its many and varied forms, has the liberty and ability to generate shifts in social perceptions and behaviors in ways that science and data alone currently do not. An immediate need to reinvigorate linkages between the arts and sciences is in order to address urgent issues of our time. It is around this statement that a long-held dream was dragged into reality during the Society and the Sea Conference in Greenwich, UK (Sept 6-7th). Despite recognition of the need to connect art and science more closely, truly integrated, co-designed, and co-produced collaborations between art and science disciplines are still rare. We (FEC) in collaboration with two talented artists (Lisa Beth Robinson and Kristin Thielking from East Carolina University and the University of Wisconsin respectively), an author and geographer (Mrill Ingram) and a communication and engagement specialist (Aoife Dean from MaREI) are attempting to do our bit to change this. Our session at Society and the Sea, entitled Thresholds: Art, Social Impact and Reinvention, engaged both artists and scientists in a facilitated knowledge exchange designed to generate collaborative pathways for action. By discussing past and current projects, as well as future aspirations, we were able to outline opportunities and challenges for art-science integration throughout project instigation, execution, and sustainability phases.

Escalating problems created by sea-level rise, a greater number of severe coastal storms, and other repercussions of climate change will exacerbate already pervasive impacts resulting from rapid coastal population growth and intensification of development. To prosper in the coming decades, coastal communities need to build their adaptive capacity and resilience. Telling the stories of real-world communities in a wide range of coastal settings, including America’s Gulf of Mexico coast, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, The Maldives, southern Africa, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, the case studies in Climate Change and the Coast: Building Resilient Communities reveal a rich diversity of adaptation approaches.

Estuaries, the intersection of freshwater and coastal ecosystems, exhibit complex physical and biological processes which must be understood in order to sustain and restore them when necessary. This book demonstrates how, based on an understanding of the processes controlling estuarine ecosystem health, one can quantify its ability to cope with human stresses. The theories, models, and real-world solutions presented serve as a toolkit for designing a management plan for the ecologically sustainable development of estuaries.

      ECSA 56 Coastal systems in transition: From a 'natural' to an 'anthropogenically-modified' state. 4-7 September 2016, Maritim Hotel & Congress Centrum Bremen, Germany
      ECSA 55 brings together a global multi-disciplinary community of researchers and professionals to discuss and address issues of outstanding scientific importance in the science and management of estuaries and coastal seas in this rapidly changing world. Future Earth Coasts are sponsoring Session 5b: Exploring coastal futures in the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene describes a new epoch where human drivers have become an integral part of natural systems and where the bio-physical is entangled with the bio-cultural features of landscapes: Nowhere is this more evident than in the world’s coastal zones. The Future Earth Coasts project is beginning a programme to explore the options and opportunities for sustainability of coastal zones to identify plausible futures that better address the challenges society faces from global change in an era of turbulence and surprises. Papers are invited that address and explore inter- and transdisciplinary approaches required to gain understanding of these "novel" systems in order to provide the basis for a sustainable management.

      Global Land Project 3rd Open Science Meeting "Land system science: understanding realities and developing solutions"; China National Convention Center, Beijing, 24-27th October 2016
      The aim of GLP 3rd OSM 2016 is to bring together the international research community working on land system issues. The OSM will highlight the width and scope of ongoing land system research, strengthen the highly interdisciplinary land system community, inspire new research and facilitate review, theory building and extrapolation. Future Earth Coasts are sponsoring Session ID: 51 - Managing urbanization pressures in the coastal zone in the context of the blue economy and global environmental change. Coastal zones have historically been a natural place for human settlements as they typically offer ready access to water and a variety of land and marine resources. Increasingly, and especially in the context of small island developing states (SIDS), societies are looking to the marine space to develop a maritime economy to supplement the limited options present from traditional land-based options. This has led to concepts of a blue economy and blue growth as a long term strategy to support sustainable growth. However, the pressures that the development of a blue economy places upon already limited land space for infrastructure needs and urban development for the inward migration of people to support blue growth industries has been poorly studied. The purpose of this session is to review the current state of knowledge regarding driver and pressure changes faced by coastal zones from urbanisation originating from sources other than climate change, which has been the primary focus of enquiry to date. The session will take the form of a world café session series with a series of flash talks (5 minutes), to identify key drivers and the principal questions that emerge, followed by a discussion to identify a research agenda and the science questions that could frame a collaboration between the Global Land Project and the Future Earth Coasts project. We invite submission of papers to the session a summary of which will be presented as a flash talk.

YIC focuses on the study of land-ocean interactions, the evolution and sustainable development of resources, and the nature of coastal zone environments, with particular attention to the influence of global climate change and human activities. YIC-CAS attaches great importance to international cooperation and exchange and having Dr Tu here at the MaREI Centre has allowed him to interact with research colleagues and students alike in order to discuss his research as well as understand all that is going on here in Ringaskiddy. But this story does not end here. Our recently established links will be further enhanced in October this year when the IPO and YIC-CAS run a joint session at the 3rd Open Science Meeting in Beijing (http://www.glp-osm2016.com) and our Science Officer Dr Shona Paterson visits Yantai after the meeting. Dr Tu’s visit has also allowed us to identify further opportunities both in China and more broadly within the Asia Pacific to work on together including organising a session at the 3rd Xiamen Symposium of Marine Sciences (http://mel.xmu.edu.cn/conference/3XMAS/index.asp) early next year. This collaboration, although steeped in history, has only just begun. Another exciting development is the fact that we are now discussing the possibility of setting up knowledge exchanges that will allow two or three scientists from YIC-CAS to spend an extended period of time working here at the IPO next year. This would help to maintain and operationalise our support for early career scientists, a function of the Future Earth Coasts Project that we are very passionate about.]]> 6941 0 0 0 126 https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/china-tale-two-cities/ 0 0 <![CDATA[Future Earth Coasts session at ECSA]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/future-earth-coasts-session-at-ecsa/ Thu, 22 Sep 2016 10:44:42 +0000 http://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=6949 Future Earth Coasts Session at ECSA 56  The 2016 annual conference of the Estuarine and Coastal Shelf Association (ECSA56) “Coastal systems in transition – From a ‘natural’ to an ‘anthropogenically-modified’ state” was held from the 4-7th of September 2016 in Bremen, Germany. Over 450 researchers and professionals from global multi-disciplinary communities convened to discuss current and emerging issues in the science and management of estuaries and coastal seas in a rapidly changing world. Future Earth Coasts together with Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland and the International EMECS Centre had the privilege of running an interdisciplinary special session entitled “Future Earth Coasts - Exploring coastal futures in the Anthropocene”. The session was co-chaired by two of our FECoasts science officers,  Marcus Lange (Research Fellow, Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland [MaREI], University College Cork, Ireland) and Dr. Maike Paul (Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany and attracted with over 100 attendees. Our seven presenters discussed a broad range of topics including earth observation, biogeochemical cycle assessments, climate change research, estuarine and marine biogeochemical cycle analysis, and maritime governance and coastal zone management. Session presenters Marco Ottinger, University of Wuerzburg, Germany Earth observation based mapping of coastal aquaculture ponds in Asian hotspots - An object-based analysis of high spatial resolution Sentinel-1A SAR data Fay Couceiro, University of Portsmouth, UK Threats from anthropogenic inputs and climate change Yong Min Luo, Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, CAS, China Accumulation and distribution of organic carbon and nitrogen in sediments of the Yellow River estuary and surrounding bays: Influenced by river plume and farmland soils Anna Fricke, University of Bremen, Germany Response of phytobenthic communities towards top-down and bottom-up controls in an eutrophied coastal system S. Bhavya, Physical Research Laboratory Gujarat University, India The coastal Arabian Sea as a source of CO2 - A carbon isotopic study of dissolved inorganic carbon Marcus Lange, Marine and Renewable Energy Ireland, UCC, Ireland Managing a future with energy farms at sea - exploring governance responses to support marine energy developments The session really highlighted that, in light of changing and intensified use patterns of non-commercial, self-sustaining ecosystem services often with large social and ecological impacts, societies are constantly being challenged to find sustainable solutions. Science needs to respond to this challenge by providing a profound understanding of the dynamics within social-ecological systems in order to support decision makers with approaches and tools to address the issues. Inter- and transdisciplinary research provides promising approaches from various fields around the world to meet this and other emerging challenges of societal concern. As session co-chair Dr. Maike Paul concluded after a fruitful discussion: “Contributions within the session highlighted that we face challenges at all levels from molecular to landscape scale and across all disciplines ranging from natural sciences to governance” A key highlight from our FECoasts perspective was the fact that so many of our former and current Future Earth Coasts scientists and collaborators were able to attend the conference, representing a variety of different scientific communities including China, Brazil, Australia, Ireland and Germany. In combination with collaborators and partners, our session was able to offer a truly global perspective on solution-driven coastal research and possible pathways to solutions at different scales. ECSA57 conference will be held in Perth, Australia and we look forward to continuing to contribute to this important conference series as well as to the on-going conversation surrounding estuarine and coastal research.]]> 6949 0 0 0 77 https://maikepaul.wordpress.com/2016/09/22/futureearth-coasts-session-at-ecsa56/ 0 0 <![CDATA[Postdoc researcher (m/w/d) in Development and Knowledge Sociology]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=9739 https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=9739 Postdoc researcher (m/w/d) in Development and Knowledge Sociology Location: Bremen, Germany Institute: ZMT Department: Social Sciences Deadline: 31.

While much research attention has been placed on the role and capacity of government authorities in responding to climate challenges on the coast, coastal residents who are key actors in the adaptation process are less frequently addressed. Coastal residents, however, play an integral role in the adaptation which shapes and is shaped by, institutional, political, economic, social, and environmental conditions.
      Having said that, we would like to encourage our community to submit papers that explore the processes through which coastal residents manage their exposure to climate risks, for example, via direct personal action, collective action, collaborative governance models, and/or other mechanisms to leverage the resources (e.g., political, human, or financial) necessary for adaptation in coastal areas. More specifically this call is for papers that address the following topics:
      • The role of coastal residents in planning and implementing topical adaptation responses, such as managed retreat
      • The collaborative governance approaches residents to engage in to drive or shape local, regional or national adaptation
      • The interrelations between hazard management, climate change adaptation, and sustainability-related household response

      As well as papers that contribute to a new understanding of:

      • The nature of household adaptive capacity in coastal communities
      • The factors affecting household-level adaptation decision-making
      • The processes that facilitate and inhibit adaptation by residents of coastal communities

      This Special Issue is entitled "The Role of Coastal Residents in Adapting to Climate Change: Social, Political, Cultural and Economic Dimensions" and Dr. Carmen Elrick-Barr, one of FEC Fellows, is serving as Guest Editor for it.

      The submission deadline is 31 December 2021 and papers may be submitted immediately or at any point until 31 December 2021, as papers will be published on an ongoing basis. For more information on this Special Issue and submission guidelines please visit mdpi website here

Staff from local authority adaptation planning teams from across the southern region of Ireland were welcomed to the MaREI Centre in Ringaskiddy to embark on Climate Ireland’s two-day training workshop on Local Authority Adaptation Planning.  Officials from the newly formed Department of Communication, Climate Action, & Environment, the Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland and staff from MaREI and the Future Earth Coasts IPO were joined by the manager of the London Climate Change Partnership, Kristen Guida, to help guide local authorities through the ins and outs and common pitfalls of adaptation planning. [caption id="attachment_7062" align="alignleft" width="300"]img_0699 Kristen Guida of the London Climate Change Partnership[/caption] Adaptation describes a response to a perceived risk or opportunity. To be effective, these responses and resulting actions must be anticipatory, varied, innovative, and often transformative.  In the context of climate change, governments, local and city authorities, and communities around the world are considering and implementing a range of adaptation policies and initiatives to help societies and economies to cope with current and future changes. Ireland is no different. However, ‘Doing Adaptation’ is not an easy task. Firstly, even understanding current conditions and impacts of climate change presents its own challenges without having to consider what risks might be coming in the future. Following a state of the climate presentation by our own IPCC Fourth Assessment lead author, Prof. Robert Devoy, workshop attendees were guided though the current policy landscape, provided an overview of available resources before having the opportunity to hear about adaptation in practice in London. This was followed over the two days by a series of working groups and activities to help define adaptation priorities, pathways, and opportunities both locally and regionally in Southern Ireland. [caption id="attachment_7060" align="alignleft" width="300"]img_0671 Prof. Robert Devoy[/caption] [caption id="attachment_7072" align="alignright" width="300"]climate-ireland-2 Dr. Barry O'Dwyer and Dr. Paul J. Alexander[/caption] Communication and coordination as well as having the opportunity to learn from each other and share information were highlighted as just a few of the key messages from participants during our #timetoadapt discussions. Big congratulations to all involved, especially our fearless principle investigator Dr Barry O’Dwyer, and a massive thank you to all the participants whose insight and determination has filled us with hope as we strive to identify real solutions in the face of changing conditions.

For Habitat III must be recognised as the adventure that it is. With over 40,000 people registered for plenaries, side events, workshops, and labs, this is an emersion into all things urban. habitathabitat-iii-3 Defined by the New Urban Agenda (NUA), Habitat III is an ambitious attempt to try and link the urbanisation and development models to sustainability, the Sustainable Development Goals and a brighter future for all. Whether you buy into the rhetoric, and there have been criticisms even before the launch of the NUA, (e.g. McPhearson et al. paper in Nature), the sheer weight of discourse, discussion and passion surrounding the need to define and examine solution spaces around resilience, vulnerability, sustainability and transformation in urban settlements worldwide is breath-taking. habitat-3 habitat-2 On a personal level, Future Earth Coasts has a real dog in this fight. Given the concentration of populations at the coast world-wide, the coastal/urbanisation/land use nexus is a crucial issue for us. Thinking about what this means in terms of the future sustainability of coastal zones involves engagement with complex and interrelated questions about equity, justice, resilience, economic opportunity, infrastructure development, ecological management, service delivery and more. We intend to continue to ask as well as try and answer these hard questions. We are lucky to have several outlets for our perspectives and thoughts as well as numerous exciting learning opportunities. We have the privilege to present alongside the UN-Habitat’s Regional Office for Africa, UNESCO, WMO, and UNU’s VARMAP as well as interact with hundreds of colleagues from a huge range of disciplines, expertise, and interests!! #Habitat3 habitat-banner-2 Read the full summary of the Future Earth Coasts Activities - Official session participation and direct outcomes]]> 7129 0 0 0 <![CDATA[A month of travel by Chris D'Elia]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/a-month-of-travel-by-chris-delia/ Tue, 15 Nov 2016 09:56:04 +0000 http://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=7170 delia-1It was my third visit to China as an LSU dean, and this time, I was invited and hosted by Xiamen University (XMU) in Xiamen and East China Normal University (ECNU) in Shanghai. Both Chinese universities have active programs of international engagement and have collaborated with researchers at LSU.  In addition to our present joint research activities, our Chinese counterparts and we hope to expand bilateral faculty, staff and student exchanges.  (In a similar vein, LSU would like to see similar exchanges develop between LSU and Cuban and other Gulf of Mexico universities as well.)  Pictured with me below is my counterpart at XMU, Qingshun “Quinn” Li, Ph.D., Professor and Dean, College of the Environment and Ecology, with whom I signed an MOU for cooperation to foster joint research and faculty/student exchanges. delia-2In addition to my other roles at LSU, I also direct the Future Earth Coast’s North American Regional Engagement Partnership. This is another significant opportunity for international collaboration for LSU’s faculty, staff and students, and as Future Earth Coast’s North American representative, I would like to see even broader participation.  ECNU, as a “Regional Node,” played a similar partnership role for Asia in the LOICZ program, and ECNU also hosts the Asian Regional Project Office of IMBER (Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research).  Both LOICZ and IMBER began as part of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP), which ended two years ago and succeeded by Future Earth. Both programs have collaborated in the past, and aim to continue to collaborate as part of Future Earth.Pictured below are the participants of the meeting I attended at ECNU, The Third SKLEC (State Key Laboratory in Estuarine and Coastal Research) International Consultation Meeting and Workshop on Estuarine and Coastal Research. To my right is my LSU colleague, Sam Bentley, and just behind him to the right, is another LSU colleague, Jun Xu.  To my left is Prof. Zhongyuan Chen of ECNU, with whom several LSU colleagues and I have published papers together in the past that compare deltas in China, the US, and elsewhere.  That is just one benefit that international collaboration yields. delia-3I have been involved with LOICZ/Future Earth Coasts almost from its inception in 1993. I attended the 1995 Open Science Meeting in Manila. While a lot of the program’s focus has been on the fluxes of sediments and nutrients in the coastal zone, there has also always been great emphasis on the societal relevance of the program’s scientific findings. So, too, has there been a clear focus on changes in the coastal zone, be they demographic, economic or climate-related. The goal of LOICZ was “to provide the knowledge, understanding and prediction needed to allow coastal communities to assess, anticipate and respond to the interaction of global change and local pressures which determine coastal change.” That goal is still pertinent now. By almost any measure, as part of the IGBP, LOICZ was a successful international venture — I give one compelling example of that success below.  Now re-envisioned as an element of Future Earth as “Future Earth Coasts,” its new mandate is “to support sustainability and adaptation to global change in the coastal zone working with Regional Seas to identify future scenarios that provide more sustainable options than current ‘business as usual practices’.”[1] This new challenge is daunting, but essential in a world facing a human population that can conceivably reach or exceed 12 billion, many of whom live within 100 km of the coast. Why are these international programs so important?  The answer lies in the ways that understanding of the earth's coasts makes scientific advances. Coastal scientists rarely have the ability to do large-scale, ecosystem experiments and manipulations.  Accordingly, we must use other approaches to understand the systems we study.  Generally speaking, these approaches include systematic observations and monitoring, studies of change in ecosystem structure and function over time, and comparative studies of different coastal systems.   The latter have been of particular value to LOICZ/Future Earth Coasts, as is apparent from a recent review of the program’s history.[2]  A number of important synthesis papers have been published by LOICZ-associated scientists (Syvitski et al., 2009[3]; Giosan et al., 2014[4]). In a particularly noteworthy collaboration, Giosan et al. (2014) showed that sediment input to the majority of the world’s deltas is insufficient to maintain elevation with respect to rising relative sea level, one of the most compelling coastal concerns. There can be no doubt that the broad realization of the serious threats now facing the world’s deltas was facilitated by the frequent interactions in LOICZ of researchers studying deltas around the world. The rising sea also has serious implications for maritime trade because ports and harbors have to adapt to it—in the case of Louisiana, the Ports of South Louisiana, New Orleans and Baton Rouge combined constitute the largest bulk shippers in the US, and all are threatened by the rapid rates of subsidence in the Mississippi Delta.  Many other ports are also in deltaic regions, so as in Louisiana, there are particular concerns for their long-term viability. At the global scale maritime trade is becoming increasingly important, and with the widening of the Panama Canal, new patterns of trade are opening up.  Our trade mission learned that Cuba aims to capitalize on new trading opportunities at its port of Mariel, where it has established the Special Economic Zona of Mariel (La Zona Especial de Desarrollo Mariel or “ZED”).  ZED General Director Charles Baker explained to our group he was hopeful of the early expiration of the US embargo of Cuba and the law that prohibits any ship from visiting a US port within 180 days of a visit to a Cuban port.  At that point, ZED aims to serve in hub-and-spokes model to receive PANAMAX vessels and transfer their cargoes to smaller container ships bound for US Gulf and East Coast ports in Louisiana and elsewhere. The burgeoning maritime trade, which has doubled from 1985 to 2007, has significant positive economic effects for many nations, but there are also some concerns about environmental impacts. The International Maritime Organization has recently undertaken a detailed bottom-up fleet inventory and has found that international maritime activity emitted a total of 1,120 Mt of CO2–more than twice an earlier IEA estimate for 2005.[5]  To put this estimate in perspective, international maritime emissions would rank 6th between India’s and Germany’s CO2 emissions. In terms of energy use, the Virginia-based Center for Climate and Energy Solutions has stated that “the global marine shipping sector is responsible for approximately 1.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic sources.”[6] Louisiana, Cuba and China all share another, troublesome problem.  All three locations suffer great vulnerability to late summer and fall tropical storms, which according to some scientists could become stronger and more frequent with climate change.  Louisiana and Cuba have strong hurricanes. China has strong typhoons.  In fact, Super Typhoon Meranti struck Xiamen in mid Sept. with wind gusts up to 280 kph (~150 knots), and while we were in Cuba, Hurricane Matthew stuck the east end of that island.  Great progress has been made in our ability to use numerical models to forecast landfalls for these storms, but there is still much progress to be made in forecasting storm strength and storm surge from these extreme weather events. This, too, is an area of vital and active research and international cooperation that is very pertinent to LSU, its Cuban and Chinese counterparts and Future Earth Coasts. My October travel marathon ended with the fall meeting of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL) in Washington, DC. I serve on the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of that organization, which is the leading voice for ocean-related research and education in Washington, DC. delia-4In the photo left, I am pictured with COL President and CEO, RADM Jonathan W. White, USN (Ret.).  Admiral White served as Oceanographer of the Navy, and is very familiar with the huge challenges posed by coasts and coastal seas. As one of his colleagues once remarked, “You may have noticed that Navy bases tend to be located at sea-level, so the Navy is very concerned about sea-level rise.” So, too, are navies from other countries around the world. Yes, coastal change is a topic of international concern, and likewise is having the research resources needed to study it.  We are fortunate in the US to have an organization like COL representing the research and education interests of our academic community. In summary, clearly, the challenges of the coast are many: economic, environmental, climatic, meteorological, strategic, and demographic, to name a few. It is both exciting and daunting to have a position that puts me on the front lines of “the battle of coastal change.”  There is plenty of work to be done yet, for sure, and this requires international collaboration.

It was into these two cities that Future Earth Coasts was recently catapulted.

      [caption id="attachment_7236" align="alignleft" width="700"]img_0929 Open ceremony of the GLP-OSM[/caption]

      The Global Land Programme (GLP) Open Science Meeting (GLP-OSM) was held in Beijing, from the 24th to the 27th of October, 2016 and hosted by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS). In response to the globally endorsed Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the conference theme was ‘Land system science: understanding realities and developing solutions’. With nearly 700 attendees, social-ecological interactions around land use in an interdisciplinary manner and at different levels of scale were extensively explored.

      [caption id="attachment_7238" align="alignleft" width="330"]img_1020 The Water-Food-Energy Nexus, Future Earth[/caption] [caption id="attachment_7239" align="alignleft" width="330"]img_1016 Exhibition booths at the GLP-OSM[/caption]

      Future Earth Coasts organised and chaired a session at the GLP-OSM entitled ‘Managing Urbanisation Pressures in the Coastal Zone in the Context of the Blue Economy and Global Environmental Change’ where we were able to showcase some of the excellent coastal research being done both in China and globally. Discussions ranging from the impacts of urbanization and development on wetlands to the bio-accumulation of contaminants in crops grow in the coastal zone in China sat alongside presentations looking at the Water-Food-Energy Nexus in the MENA region. One key area to highlight from the session, raised in several presentations, is the importance of partnerships and research communities. With two Future Earth core projects presenting (FEC and GLP), talk of Knowledge-Action Networks was never far away and calls to join the Future Earth Open Network were made loud and clear. Important connections were also made with another core project while in Beijing, the Integrated Risk Governance Project (IRG), and collaborative opportunities between our IPOs are currently being explored.

      [caption id="attachment_7233" align="alignright" width="300"]glp-1 Post GLP-OSM session discussions[/caption]

      While international conferences are without doubt important for collaboration and knowledge transfer, Yantai offered a much more intimate setting to further develop important working relationships. Back in August, Dr Chen Tu visited our IPO from the Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research (YIC-CAS).

      [caption id="attachment_7235" align="alignleft" width="333"]glp-3 Visiting YIC-CAS in Yantai[/caption]

      This was a chance for our science officer, Shona Paterson, to reciprocate the visit. During the visit she was able to interact with a number of early career scientists and Ph.D. students at the institute and learn about the broad range of research efforts underway, a truly rewarding experience. Supporting young scientists has to be a major part of all global research projects and is without question an important part of the FEC mission. A visit to the YIC-CAS Experimental Station just outside Yantai, and a chance to discuss on-going research on ocean acidification, was also a particular treat.

      As an IPO, our journeys in China, and especially the linkages with YIC-CAS, are only just beginning. The next adventure is a joint session at the Xiamen Symposium on Marine Environmental Sciences in January, 2017 on Coastal assessments: From implementation to impact: understanding the gap as well as a special workshop on The use of assessments: Knowledge transfer and results interpretation.

      Dissemination, outreach and communication of scientific knowledge are becoming more and more important in today’s society, where social inclusion is an integral part of environmental protection and sustainable development. This is particularly true for the world of ocean research, a world that is largely hidden from our view representing an added challenge to the communication of marine research. CommOCEAN as the International Marine Science Communication Conference, was launched by the European Marine Board Communications Panel (EMBCP) and organized in the first instance by its Portuguese partners (CIIMAR, Ciencia Viva) in Porto in 2014. It focuses on a target audience of young marine scientists and communicators who want to be trained in science communication skills. For 2016, with over 200 participants from 29 different countries over 2 days the CommOCEAN conference was held in the beautiful city of Bruges, Belgium.

      3 is the magic number In the opening address of the conference it was said that there is a need for 3 things: 1. Good science 2. Compelling stories 3. Political buy in [caption id="attachment_7472" align="alignright" width="225"] Eirini Politi next to her CoReSyf poster - biggest poster smallest girl[/caption] We came in three

      There was representation from Hester Whyte (FEC Communication Officer), Aoife Deane (MaREI Communication and Public Engagement Officer) and Eirini Politi ( MaREI Marine Scientist). Coming from different back grounds meant we could ‘divide & conquer’ and disperse ourselves in the wide variety of sessions and workshops. Eirini not only took part in the conference but presented a poster on the Co-ReSyf (Coastal Waters Research Synergy Framework) project and was also selected to be part of the follow up training course on Ocean Science Communication Tools. The course focused on topics like How to tell a good story, tools to use in story telling (video, social media) and how to make your science communication more successful and impactful. Some top tips and take home messages for successful Science Communication are:

      • Assume your audience knows nothing
      • Simplify
      • Find an engaging hook
      • Illustrate, if possible (seeing is believing)
      • Share on appropriate channels
      • Avoid jargon (especially abbreviations)
      • English is better than Latin (e.g. kill, don't exterminate; drool, don't salivate, etc.)
      [caption id="attachment_7473" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Live-scribing: capturing the essence of what is being said in a cartoon like fashion[/caption]

      Both Aoife & Hester attended a number of sessions and workshops on the fundamentals of science communication, optimizing impacts, communication strategies and dealing with the media on the first day of the conference. As the day progressed live-scribing took place capturing the key messages of all the presenters. Social media was a major topic throughout people's presentations , there was a CommOCEAN social media team present encouraging tweeting and retweeting and the power of sharing. We did our bit through the @FECoasts and @MaREIcentre accounts. An evening reception in the town hall was organized to get to know our fellow science communicators and those who presented in the sessions and what better way than with some fine Bruges locally brewed beer. [A reoccurring feature as it turned out]

      The second day was focused on the more practical side of communication and was filled with presentations showcasing the latest technologies used to tell the ocean story like the next generation of Science posters by SciComLab. A session on visualization of science by Dr Heath Kelsey (Program Director, The Integration and Application Network (IAN), University of Maryland, Center for Environmental Science and the communication partner institution for FEC) to up your game in engaging stakeholders was held in the morning session followed by workshops on toolkits for marine and governance outreach and creative ways of communicating your science. A good example of a tool are the Ecosystem health report cards,  as explained by IAN's Graduate student Vanessa Vargas,  to help raise stakeholder awareness and influence behavior. Meeting so many like-minded people and having seen, heard and experienced so many different ways of conveying stories and how to optimize the impact of information has been really inspiring. The conference finished by revealing the winners of the best science poster and the Professor Mario Ruivo Prize for best initiative by young people in communicating ocean health. A city tour of Bruges lead us to the official closing of the event – where else than in true Belgium style  – Brewery the Halve Maan home of Bruges very own Brugse Zot ( Bruges Fool) facilitating even more flow of conversation.

      <![CDATA[Transdiscliplinary research and co-design in practice | 22-23 November 2016 | Stockholm, Sweden]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/transdiscliplinary-research-co-design-practice-22-23-november-2016-stockholm-sweden/ Fri, 23 Dec 2016 12:43:22 +0000 http://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=7517 How to co-design a more desirable future | Michelle Slaney This 1.5 day workshop provided training in transdisciplinary skills and co-design methodology, the main steps required to prepare a stakeholder interaction plan for a research project, and the principles of knowledge co-production. Importantly, the workshop afforded the opportunity for participants to apply these learnings and processes to their own projects, one key features that made this workshop so valuable and successful. "Having the possibility to work on and discuss one’s own project with the trainers (and other participants), who were clearly experts in the field of transdisciplinary research, co-design and co-production, and receive their immediate and direct feedback/guidance was fantastic." Another feature that made this workshop such a success was that it provided the opportunity for participants from Future Earth core projects (IPOs, SSCs, scientists), National Committees (members, early-career scientists), secretariats and regional centres, Science and Engagement Committees, and other Future Earth–related stakeholders and researchers to get acquainted with one another, as well as gaining an understanding of what colleagues are working on. This was the first time that people in core projects had ever met and discussed the substance and details of each other’s projects, and this proved to be one of the most valuable things that nearly all participants had cited as a key take away/outcome of the workshop. Representing the Arctic Regional Node of Future Earth Coasts, and with co-design and co-production at the very heart of everything we do at FEC, particularly in the Arctic region, participating in this workshop was important for several reasons. First of all, it was an opportunity to highlight our work and learn from others about their work and activities ongoing in other core projects so that we may align some of our efforts and mutually benefit from sharing resources and networks. Secondly, I participated in both of the webinars on transdisciplinary research and co-design (the first was held on 11 May 2016 and the second on the 27 September 2016) organised by Future Earth Europe, so attending this workshop completed the entire training module on transdisciplinary research and co-design.  And finally, this workshop was very timely given that we are preparing a document that reports on best practice of engagement relating to resilient coastal communities (be it through transdisciplinary research and its related processes, resource development and social acceptability, or other successful stakeholder engagements). This document will apply approaches and methodologies of co-design and co-production with people engaged in projects in the Arctic region. The opportunity to meet colleagues from other core projects and gain a better understanding each others activities resulted in a process of discovery and meaningful networking. Discovery of synergies and areas of common interest/focus within and between core projects will ultimately lead to better collaboration. For instance, through this workshop, I became acquainted with, among others, Professor Carole Crumley from Uppsala University, and Executive Director of IHOPE (Integrated History and Future of People on Earth) and the work of IHOPE. We discovered that each of our core projects has an Arctic regional focus, and respective network, the expertise of which are different but complementary. We have corresponded and had several exchanges since the workshop, introducing relevant colleagues to each other and discussing potential future collaboration. Another key outcome from this workshop was the idea of establishing a co-design clinic or forum where Future Earth-related researchers could seek guidance on the co-design of projects or co-production of knowledge. There were some discussions about the modality and how this could potentially be financed, and what level of expertise would be required and how frequently. One potential way to realize this at low or no-cost would be through establishing a roster of experts, trainers and /or workshop alumni, and establish a forum wherein researchers could ask questions and seek guidance. More information and web links to the live streams of the event: Trainer organisations include the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE), University of Bern td-net, Network for Transdisciplinary Research, Swiss Academy of Arts and Sciences International Social Science Council (ISSC), Susanne Moser Research & Consulting. Workshop organisers include the European Alliance of Global Change Research Committees, Future Earth, Swedish National Committee for Global Change Research, and the Swedish Secretariat for Environmental Earth System Sciences (SSEESS).

The second special report will focus on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to climate change threats, sustainable development, and poverty eradication efforts. The third special report focuses on climate change, desertification, land degradation, sustainable land management, food security, and greenhouse gas fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. Special Reports are distinctive because they are designed to address policy-relevant issues that require input from more than one Working Group, and that these issues merit explicit consideration outside the framework of the more detailed Working Group Assessment Reports. Experts invited to the Scoping Meeting reflect on available science and jointly develop a chapter structure and report outline to enable objective assessment of the relevant science. The Scoping Meeting recommendations the will be submitted to an IPCC Panel for consideration and approval in April 2017. The content of the Special Report will be produced by Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead Authors and Review Editors selected following a call for nominations from IPCC member governments, observer organisations and Bureau members (open in April 2017). The Special Report will be approved and accepted by the IPCC Panel in September 2019, while the main Assessment Report will be approved and accepted during 2021–2022. In the context of the Paris COP21 (2015) Agreement the Special Report will provide a scientific assessment that may be relevant for global stocktake and climate policies related to the oceans and the cryosphere. In particular, the Paris Agreement has noted the importance of ensuring the integrity of all ecosystems, including oceans, and the protection of biodiversity. The Special Report is also highly relevant for the UN Sustainable Development Goals (e.g., 2, 11, 13, 14). Being one of about 65 scientists selected from some 500 nominations by UN member nations and IPCC observer organization SSC Co-chair Bruce Glavovic was invited to present the first of four joint keynote presentations to contextualize and inform discussion.

The LME Annual Meeting contributes to the development of the LME Partnership by engaging marine, coastal management, biodiversity and coastal climate change adaptation project leaders in meeting that objective, in accordance with the recently established GEF LME: Learn project. More specifically, the meeting aims at: - Fostering a mutually supportive global network of leaders and institutions engaged in marine and coastal ecosystem based management by providing a forum for project (LME , ICM, MPA, MSP, others) leaders to discuss experiences and lessons learned; − Mobilizing knowledge resources, new scientific applications and tools to support project implementation and organizational action related to priority knowledge topics; − Reviewing marine and coastal project progress in regions, disseminating best practices amongst projects, and discussing emerging issues requiring common responses; and − Sharing lessons learned from existing efforts with regard to the LME Governance project priorities (i.e. regional networks, capacity building training and twinning) and identify future priorities to help guide the implementation of the project. The meeting was also to provide an opportunity to discuss the contribution of GEF and other marine projects to the implementation of the Agenda 2030, particularly SDG 14 as well as other SDGs, in light of the forthcoming UN Conference on SDG 14 implementation to take place in June 2017. Valerie Cummins, SSC Co-Chair and Jeremy Gault (MaREI Research Co-ordinator - Coastal and Marine Systems) of the IPO participated in this large meeting with circa 130 participants from around the world. It was an excellent opportunity to learn about the LME effort. Fisheries, EBM and MPA featured heavily. Ocean acidification and blue economy are emerging issues for the LME community. Valerie got a speaking slot during the session on Data and Information for Ecosystem Based Management.  This provided a platform to describe FEC in details to the LME community and make them more aware of Future Earth. An invitation was issued to the community to partner with us in our Coastal Futures work, as well as promoting the Ocean Acidification workshop in February as an example of how we can facilitate capacity building and collaborative working.We made some additional connections which we can connect to future indicator work. Identifying key champions from the LMEs to partner with remains a key challenge however a start has been made, significant contacts have been established and by nurturing these relations ships there is a positive inclination to keep things moving forward. A next step is to run a Coastal Futures methodology workshop co-hosted by FEC and UNESCO in the Spring of 2017. More details on this to follow in the New Year. Another outcome of this meeting has been an invitation to present at a webinar, facilitated by NOAA, in January, following interventions on the topic of Blue Economy. This will be as part of a monthly webinar series with EBM Tools Network and OpenChannels on MPAs and related issues. Watch this space.

      Sustainability of Future Coasts and Estuaries

      Edited by Alice Newton, Jan Harff, Zai-Jin YOU, Hua Zhang and Eric Wolanski
      Coasts are at the nexus of the Anthropocene, where land, marginal seas and atmosphere meet along a thin strip that is inhabited by nearly half the human population (Wolanski and Elliott, 2015). Coasts are often fringed by rich habitats such as mangroves, salt-marshes, inter-tidal mud and sand flats, seagrass meadows, kelp forests and coral reefs that provide a valuable range of ecosystem services to humans and to the adjacent marginal seas (Van den Belt and Costanza, 2011). It is the highly dynamic system that is constantly being reshaped by changing natural forces and anthropogenic activities. Coastal systems and human societies form coastal social-ecological systems that increasingly face multiple pressures, which threaten their ecological and economical sustainability. Common pressures include changes to land use and hydrology, land reclamation, coastal sand mining, harbour dredging, pollution and eutrophication, overexploitation such as overfishing, all in the context of climate change. During the 20th Century, coastal scientists studied the problems and issues arising along the coasts (Ramesh et al., 2015). Now, in the 21st Century, their focus must increasingly be about how to solve these problems and issues through better management and innovative approaches. To study these matters, two workshops were held in Yantai, P.R. China, in September 2015, hosted by the Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, CAS. The outcome of these workshops is this special issue of Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science.

      The Third Xiamen Symposium on Marine Environmental Sciences (XMAS-III) with the overarching theme The Changing Ocean Environment: From a Multidisciplinary Perspective was held from January the 9-11th, 2017. The symposium was made up of a variety of interconnected sessions covering physical oceanography, marine biogeochemistry, biological oceanography, and marine ecotoxicology along with workshops for emerging topics in marine environmental sciences. In addition to this broad range of sessions, keynote talks on marine productivity, biogeochemical processes and temperature, and ocean acidification were also given.

      XMAS-III provided us at Future Earth Coasts with a number of great opportunities. Not only were we able to engage further with our East Asia Regional Engagement Partner, Yongming Luo and scientists and students from the Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (YIC-CAS), but we also managed to run two sessions during the symposium. The first session, Coastal assessments: from implementation to impact allowed us to invite a really interesting group of global experts to discuss different mechanisms and approaches to assessing coastal issues, management, and emerging impacts from a broad range of perspectives. Eminent scientists from the UK, China, Japan, Hong Kong, and Korea in addition to our own European Regional Engagement partner, Professor Alice Newton, were able to address many aspects of coastal assessments.

      [caption id="attachment_7673" align="alignleft" width="150"] Professor Alice Newton and Professor Mike Elliot[/caption]

      Our second session, a special workshop, had a slightly different spin and focused on using assessments’ results. We were treated to a comprehensive overview of knowledge transfer and results interpretation by Professor Mike Elliott, the director of the Institute of Estuarine & Coastal Studies, University of Hull, UK. This was followed up by an interactive discussion aimed around how to best maximise the potential surrounding the Continental Margins Working Group, a joint initiative between Future Earth Coasts and another Future Earth Core Project, IMBER.

      Without doubt one of the highlights of the workshop was the opportunity to meet and interact with a group of young scientists from the Urbanization and Regional Environmental Change Group at Xiamen University led by Dr Yangfan Li.  With their input, we were able to come up with an overarching idea for an early career scientist/student workshop in the Asia Pacific region. Watch this space for more details about this exciting endeavour soon!

      ICAN - Best Practice Guide to Engage your Coastal Web Atlas User Community

      Editors: Kathrin Kopke and Ned Dwyer The International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) is a community of practice of organizations, who have been meeting since 2006, to share experiences and to find common solutions to Coastal Web Atlas (CWA) development. ICAN is a project of UNESCO IOC´s International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) Programme since 2013 and co-chaired out of MaREI.

      The long-term strategic goal of the IODE ICAN (International Coastal Atlas Network) project is to encourage and help facilitate the development of digital atlases of the global coast based on the principle of distributed, high-quality data and information. These atlases can be local, regional, national and international in scale. ICAN aims to achieve this by sharing knowledge and experience among atlas developers in order to find common solutions for coastal web atlas development whilst ensuring maximum relevance and added value for the users.

      About ICAN

      The International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) emerged from a series of trans-Atlantic meetings held in 2006 and 2007 between a group of organisations that shared a common interest in Coastal Web Atlas (CWA) development. The ICAN grew in subsequent years into a community of practice developing best practise examples for technical solutions to CWA development, scoping and implementing data interoperability approaches and exploring end user interaction with CWAs. Since 2006, the network has organised seven workshops across the globe in Europe, North America and Africa and is increasing awareness of opportunities for coastal and marine information sharing through the CWAs, while growing the ICAN community.

      This hand book is conceived as a practical “cookbook” rather than a fully peer-reviewed publication but aims to systematically identify and address issues and challenges related to Coastal Web Atlas (CWA) user interaction through examples and expertise from within the International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN). This best practice guide will explore how atlas developers can engage with their user communities through conception, development, implementation, operation and revision of their atlases.

      'We hope that the handbook will allow both new and established CWA developers and hosts to benefit from best practice examples as well as learn from experienced challenges, in order to increase capacity to successfully interact with user communities and target audiences, while managing coastal and marine data and information in a user friendly way. The final product is a resource that hopes to complement and link to a variety of OceanTeacher activities, support IODE training in courses, thereby being of value to all who manage and present marine data and information.'

The EMODNet Sea Basins Checkpoint Stakeholders Conference - Mapping the gaps & exploring the way forward for future monitoring and observation activities in Europe | by Val Cummins ( FEC SSC Co-Chair)

      The EMODNet Sea Basins Checkpoint Stakeholders Conference, which brought together over 200 participants, was held in Brussels on 14th and 15th February 2017. The conference had a mix of plenary and workshop sessions. The Conference brought together EMODnet experts and interested stakeholders to consider whether marine data collected via current observation and monitoring activities in Europe serve the needs of those who rely upon marine knowledge derived from observations and monitoring data. Experts from the Baltic, Mediterranean, North Sea, Atlantic and Arctic attended from scientific communities spanning ocean observation to data science. The European Commission was represented by Bernard Freiss and Iain Shepard, DG Mare.

      [caption id="attachment_7797" align="alignright" width="400"] Val Cummins giving keynote at EMODNet[/caption]

      I was invited to present the Keynote talk on the opening of the Conference, entitled: The importance of data and information for users of ocean and coastal space and the role of industry of users and providers of marine data. This was an excellent opportunity to explore the need for ocean and coastal monitoring in the context of global drivers such as climate change, energy scarcity, the need for protein, and diminished ecosystems goods and services. The talk also elaborated upon the data needs perspective of marine industry stakeholders in the context of Blue Growth. Lessons from research and practice within UCC were showcased including the Marine Irish Digital Atlas (MIDA), Future Earth Coasts and IMERC. The Conference presented the findings of the EMODnet Sea-basin data stress tests (Checkpoints) and considered how to strengthen open data repositories serving users who face real problems. The participants discussed possible solutions and ways forward to improve and better coordinate the existing and future monitoring and observation activities in Europe.

      Key recommendations referred to the need to address major gaps in data availability, such as those pertinent to the coastal zone, via the greater deployment of systems for HR Radar, higher resolution bathymetry for near shore areas, habitat maps and mass sediment budgets. Issues pertaining to situations where data exists but is not readily available included access to important VMS data for fisheries management. It was interesting to learn that aggregated version of VMS data may become available through new ESA satellites in junctions with EMSA (European Maritime Safety Agency). As someone with little knowledge of the EMODnet community prior to the invitation to speak at the conference, I came away with a positive impression of the work of EMODnet today. The secretariat coordinates data inputs form over 120 partners across Europe with a budget of circa €16m. Working at the Sea Basin scale, it offers a test bed / opportunity for collaboration with methodologies for coastal futures work under development in Future Earth Coast. The exercise is given credibility as an initiative driven by the European Commission.

      [caption id="attachment_7829" align="alignleft" width="300"] Watch the video[/caption] The next phase of the initiative will include roll out of an ingestion portal for industry data, among others, and a focus on high resolution datasets. The portal is an easy to use tool, of value to planners, industry, scientists and students. Within UCC's BEES, there is an opportunity to encourage students to review datasets, such as those on habitat mapping for completeness, or for generating map products for dissertations. At a more analytical level, the data can underpin baseline mapping techniques in centres such as MaREI. I would encourage colleagues to log on and become familiar with this resource, as, it may serve as useful tool into the future. Finally, it was interesting to observe the sense from the Conference participants, that Europe is considered a global leader as a result of this integrated approach to the provision of marine data. A huge amount of work is also underway to develop a European Ocean Observing System (EOOS). Fellow Irishman, Glenn Nolan from the Marine Institute addressed the audience on Day 2 to give an account of progress in this area. Full conference programme ]]>

      Sometimes the literal meaning of words do not do justice to the ethos and outcome of an event. Yes, this was technically just a workshop that incorporated a training and a networking pathway but the reality surrounding OA-Senegal paints a different picture.

      [caption id="attachment_7852" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Eighteen coastal African countries represented as well trainers and facilitators from Sweden, the USA, France, Ireland, Spain, South Africa and Namibia[/caption]

      From the 13th-16th of February at the Ecole Superieure Polytechnique of the Universite Cheikh-Anta-Diop in Dakar, Senegal, the OA-Africa Network had their first face-to-face meeting to discuss mechanisms for knowledge exchange between ocean acidification scientists across Africa and to build momentum for scientific action.  By identifying future needs, collaboration opportunities, and potential funding avenues to maintain and expand OA research throughout Africa this initiative offers a unique opportunity to move from a problem defining era into a much-needed solution space. Eighteen coastal African countries represented by twenty scientists covering aspects of chemistry, biology, economics and social science came together to discuss the best way forward for research across the continent. By including institutions such as the Abidjan UNEP Regional Seas Convention, the opportunities to discuss linkages into policy and long term relevance for such research endeavours remained front and centre at all times.

      [caption id="attachment_7871" align="aligncenter" width="464"] Fifteen early-career scientists, graduate students, technicians, and managers underwent practical training in the theory and implementation of ocean acidification research.[/caption]

      Most workshops would be happy enough with that outcome but not OA-Senegal. In addition to the network activities, fifteen early-career scientists, graduate students, technicians, and managers underwent practical training in the theory and implementation of ocean acidification research. Specifically designed to build capacity in West Africa, participants hailed from Benin, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, and Togo. Practical demonstrations of instrumentation for monitoring were coupled with lectures on carbonate chemistry system and tuition into the use of software to calculate carbonate system parameters as well as the biological response of marine organisms to ocean acidification.

      [caption id="attachment_7853" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Shona Paterson addressing the workshop participants[/caption]

      The highlights of OA-Senegal are too many to list but listening to the next generation of OA scientists presenting issues and solutions to the current experts in joint plenary sessions organised throughout the workshop was definitely one. Having Madame Mariline Diara, the Director of the Ministry of the Environment and Designated Establishments, provide an important governmental perspective to ground the workshop in the reality of the targets associated with international agreements and conventions, such as the Sustainable Development Goals, that all ocean acidification research worldwide must feed into, was without doubt another. We were also treated to amazing local music by Leergui Acoustic and got to experience just a taste of the incredible Senegalese culture.

      While the majority of benefits associated with OA-Senegal will be felt across the African continent, this was a truly international effort that connected industry with academia and government. Funding was supplied by Future Earth Coasts, KOSMOS Energy, The IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC) and SOLAS and the logistics would have been impossible without support from the Ecole Superieure Polytechnique and the Institut of Research for Development (Thank you Eric Machu!!). Trainers and facilitators for the two pathways encompassed 14 academic institutes, research centres, NGOs and government agencies and covered local, regional and international spheres of influence from Sweden, the USA, France, Ireland, Spain, South Africa, and Namibia including the University of Gothenburg, MaREI, USGS, SOCCO, and Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.

      [caption id="attachment_7873" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] A truly international effort that connected industry with academia and government.[/caption] Therefore, to call this just a workshop doesn’t do it justice! While OA-Senegal as an event is now finished, the job of realising its the legacy has only just begun. Stay up to date on developments on the Future Earth Coasts website.]]>

This will be achieved by creating an online platform to support coastal water research applications that is accessible to both inexperienced and advanced EO and coastal users. The Co-ReSyF capabilities will be supported and initially demonstrated by a team of young scientists, students and novice EO and coastal researchers, who will develop new coastal research applications based on EO data on the Co-ReSyF platform. As a result, a Competitive Call for Ideas was issued in 2016 to promote the usage of Co-ReSyF, and invite proposals for innovative ideas and research activities using the platform. Eight (8) successful applicants have now been invited to attend the Co-ReSyF Summer School (12-14th July 2017, Lisbon, Portugal), where they will be given access to (a) the Co-ReSyF platform, (b) training material and (c) technical support to develop their proposed ideas into new coastal applications. Adding to current Co-ReSyF Research Applications, the development of new ideas will allow these early platform users to demonstrate the capabilities and broader scope of Co-ReSyF to the wider scientific community.]]> 7823 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Size does matter: City scale and the asymmetries of climate change adaptation in three coastal towns]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/size-matter-city-scale-asymmetries-climate-change-adaptation-three-coastal-towns/ Thu, 09 Mar 2017 15:36:08 +0000 http://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=7911 Size does matter: City scale and the asymmetries of climate change adaptation in three coastal towns

      Elsevier Geoforum - Volume 81, May 2017, Pages 109-119

      Authors: Shona K. Paterson, Mark Pelling, Lucia Hidalgo Nunes, Fabiano de Araujo Moreira, Kristen Guida, Jose Antonio Marengo

      Globally, it is smaller urban settlements that are growing most rapidly, are most constrained in terms of adaptive capacity but increasingly looked to for delivering local urban resilience. Data from three smaller coastal cities and their wider regional governance systems in Florida, US; West Sussex, UK and São Paulo, Brazil are used to compare the influence of scale and sector on city adaptive capacity. These tensions are described through the lens of the Adaptive Capacity Index (ACI) approach. The ACI is built from structuration theory and presents an alternative to social-ecological systems framing of analysis on adaptation. Structuration articulates the interaction of agency and structure and the intervening role played by institutions on information flow, in shaping adaptive capacity and outcomes. The ACI approach reveals inequalities in adaptive capacity to be greater across scale than across government, private and civil society sector capacity in each study area. This has implications for adaptation research both by reinforcing the importance of scale and demonstrating the utility of structuration theory as a framework for understanding the social dynamics underpinning adaptive capacity; and policy relevance, in particular considering the redistribution of decision-making power across scale and/or compensatory mechanisms, especially for lower scale actors, who increasingly carry the costs for enacting resilience planning in cities.

      Challenges in Sustainability | 2017 | Volume 5 | Issue 1 | Pages 43-51

      Tim O'Higgins

      Policies of the European Union cover a range of social, environmental and economic aspirations and the current environmental directives and laws have evolved from a suite of norms which have changed over time. These may be characterised loosely according to ‘Three Ps’: Practical, those taking an anthropocentric approach; Pure, those taking an ecocentric approach and Popular, those appealing to the general public. In this paper I use these three perspectives as a tool to analyse the complexity and identify contradictions in European aquatic environmental legislation. Some trade-offs between development and conservation are identified and used to characterise the potential qualities of more successful agency to achieve environmental goals in the governance of European aquatic environments.

These spaces are all biologically, culturally, politically and socio-economically entwined. They also provide essential services and yet are vulnerable to human impacts. Governing these complex environments has never been an easy task. Notwithstanding the decided liquid nature of water and the inability for fish to observe man-drawn boundaries, there is the verticality of space and a need for layered regulations that confounds many attempts to impose terrestrially contrived solutions upon it. In to the complex and contested arena steps a new prize-fighter, sustainability as their purpose in life, innovation on the brain, and partnerships as their driving force. This beast means business! In this case, our fighter comes in the form of a new EU-Cost Action: Ocean Governance for Sustainability - challenges, options and the role of science. European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is a long running intergovernmental framework for cooperation offering scientists across career stages the opportunity to embark upon bottom-up, multidisciplinary cooperation. [caption id="attachment_7962" align="alignright" width="300"] Science policy panel at the Ubersee museum[/caption] The first outing for our EU Governance champion was in Bremen, Germany between the 6-8th of March, 2017, hosted by ZMT. Drawing together scientists from a wide range of disciplinary and technical backgrounds, presentations encompassing seven major themes were delivered, a public science-policy discussion at the Uberseemuseum was led by Lutz Möller, Deputy Secretary-General, German Commission for UNESCO, and working group round tables were also convened. The seven overarching conference themes were:
      • Nutrition security and food systems. A security perspective
      • Ocean climate and acidification
      • Land-sea interactions
      • Area-based management.
      • Managing the seabed. Governing resources at depth
      • Ocean governance theory
      • Fisheries governance under a ‘Blue Growth’-paradigm
      We delivered a presentation on Determining sustainability options for coastal zones highlighting the importance of the SDG's. Workshop participants were also treated to three keynote presentations: i) “UNCLOS: its origins, implementation and challenges” by Awni Behnam, Hon. President International Ocean Institute, Fmr. UN Assistant Secretary General, ii) “Spatalisation of oceaning spaces” by Kimberley Peters, University of Liverpool, and iii) “Lessons learned from two decades of integrated coastal management in the East Asian Seas Region” by Chua Thia-Eng, Chair Emeritus of the Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia, PEMSEA. Ultimately, the Ocean Governance network aims to establish an integrative vision, and a series of approaches that informs research and future policy directions on crosscutting ocean sustainability-driven issues. This workshop was an important first step in that journey and we at FEC are committed to assisting in the journey as much as possible. The next big event for the network will centre around the Our Ocean meeting in Malta in October, 2017. Watch this space for more information about this network and its achievements soon.

      Not so much mapping roads as mapping the future for our coastal seas and oceans provided the focus for the 2nd International Conference on Marine Spatial Planning. More than 300 experts from all continents and representing stakeholders, practitioners and academics young and old descended on the UNESCO building in Paris between 15 – 17 March to ruminate and conjugate on progress made since the first conference in 2006 and identify MSP priorities for the next decade and beyond.

      [caption id="attachment_7986" align="alignright" width="400"] MSP2017PARIS - using live-scribing: capturing the essence of what is being said in a cartoon like fashion by Visuality.be[/caption]

      Exchanging experiences and networking, including through innovative tools such as gaming and cartooning, across eleven thematic sessions, conference speakers highlighted MSP as a significant planning tool and process to implement global ocean governance goals and in particular the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. MSP was promoted as an instrument to ensure that the global ocean remains healthy and sustainability managed, delivering economic growth, jobs and resources to all countries.

      FEC and MaREI were not absent from these proceedings with Joseph Onwana Ansong giving a presentation in a session on Institutional Capacity Development for MSP, and Joseph and Celia Le Lievre presenting ePosters as well as manning a SIMCELT stall. Not to be outdone, past-SSC member of FEC Stephen Olsen gave 2 presentations in sessions on Cross-border cooperation in MSP.

      Marine spatial planning is becoming more and more important as countries increasingly seek to take advantage of space provided by their Exclusive economic zone and develop economic activity offshore – so-called blue growth - often leading to competition for space and conflict between users. A key outcome from the conference is the adoption of a "Joint Roadmap to accelerate Maritime/Marine Spatial Planning processes worldwide" .  The roadmap identifies common challenges and proposals for actions to be implemented in the coming years, reaching out for collaboration with other UN bodies and Member States. The roadmap will be submitted to the UN Conference on SDG 14 (5-9 June 2017) by IOC-UNESCO and DG MARE as part of a joint voluntary commitment highlighting the contribution of MSP to the implementation of Agenda 2030.

      A key outcome for me from the conference was a tangible motivation and enthusiasm from all speakers and participants to move beyond articulation of problems and barriers to developing pathways and means to proactively plan for a more sustainable future – allowing the marine space and resources to make its contribution to social and economic security whilst protecting the very environment upon which all this old and new activity depends. However, all maritime activity depends on the physical space and natural resources of coasts to enable and facilitate the development of blue growth highlighting the value that a project such as Future Earth Coasts can bring – mobilising communities of knowledge brokers, practitioners and other stakeholders to provide a science interface between society, policy and practice.

      Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation 24th Biennial Conference | 5-9 November | Providence, Rhode Island, USA

      The CERF 2017 scientific program offers four days of, timely, exciting and diverse information on a vast array of estuarine and coastal subjects. Presentations will examine new findings within CERF's traditional science, education and management disciplines and encourage interaction among coastal and estuarine scientists and managers. Future Earth Coasts will have a strong showing at the Coastal & Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) 2017 meeting in Providence, Rhode Island, November 5-9. We will be running 2 interdisciplinary, future-oriented sessions representing a broad cross section of coastal research, and a special Town Hall meeting to launch the new DISCO2 tool. Here are some more details and links to the sessions for you:
      1. Town Hall meeting to launch DISCO2
      The Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) project developed tools to facilitate analysis of coastal data to develop coastal classifications and typology. LOICZ has now evolved into the Future Earth Coasts (FEC) project and the need to integrate data from different sources and disciplines to understand the interactions between natural and social systems at the World’s coast remains an imperative. FEC has recently released a beta-test version of DISCO2 a web-based data analysis and visualization tool built on the R language that will allow users to upload data to a central site, execute data exploration and analysis tools, and execute a variety of visualizations, including histograms and scatter plots, and obtain summary statistics about their data.
      1. Towards a common understanding of Ecosystem Based Management
      Growing population and changing climate are placing increasing pressures on coastal ecosystems and resulting in severe environmental degradation. These ecosystems provide essential ecosystem services to support human societies. Managing human activities in coastal zones is a critical challenge for humanity in the twenty-first century. Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) seeks to integrate the connections between land, air, water all living things, including human beings and their institutions. It is the most promising scientific paradigm for the management of coastal environments, but a common understanding remains elusive. This session will seek to develop consensus on global best practice in EBM.
      1. The opportunities and challenges of urban coastal sustainability
      Coasts provide access to water and a range of resources and services necessary for human well-being and because of these qualities, migration, urbanization, and development are expected to continue and increase into the future. In a time of global environmental change and uncertainty, the task of responding to the challenge of urbanization is demanding new approaches and new ways of thinking. This session aims to enable the exploration of practical solutions aimed at maintaining the coastal services on which human societies depend that can not only capture urbanization risks but enable reflection and learning in the face of change See the full program of CERF2017 More information on CERF2017 Follow the run up to and the outcomes of CERF using  #CERF2017]]>

      Transdisciplinary literacy: Seven principles that help define transdisciplinary research

      We spent much of our three days talking about what constitutes transdisciplinary research, and many concepts were discussed. This blog attempts to distill some of this discussion and to put forward a version of what constitutes transdisciplinary research. In addition, I enlisted Emily Nastase, our new Integration and Application Network Science Communicator, to help develop visualizations of various aspects of transdisciplinary, which are included here. The seven transdisciplinary principles are the following:
      1. Transdisciplinary research is best applied to complex problems.
      2. Transdisciplinary research is place-based.
      3. Transdisciplinary research is time intensive.
      4. The term ‘transdisciplinary’ relates more to academia than to research partners (sometimes called stakeholders).
      5. Transdisciplinary research requires well-developed leadership skills.
      6. Transdisciplinary research is intensely collaborative.
      7. Transdisciplinary research merges multiple knowledge streams and different value systems to create new knowledge.

      On the trail of iconic Parisian scientists

      Following a three day meeting on transdisciplinary research, I had a day to explore Paris in search of the trails of three of my scientific icons. My eighteenth century science icon from Paris is Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (1743-1794); my nineteenth century icon is Louis Pasteur (1822-1895); and my twentieth century icon is Marie Curie (1867-1934).

      Talking about Transdisciplinary research in Paris

      I attended a ‘Transdisciplinary Research Meeting’, sponsored by the International Council for Science (ICSU), which is part of UNESCO, and is based in Paris. The meeting was at the ICSU facility near the Arc de Triomphe. Our local host was Vivi Stavrou, from the International Social Science Council (ISSC). Participants came from four continents (North and South America, Europe and Africa), and they all had a keen interest in transdisciplinary research. Read more...

      Coastal vulnerability and freshwater security brochure from the first ever Belmont Forum Synthesis Workshop

      Future Earth Coasts and the Integration and Application Network released a synthesis of Belmont Forum projects addressing Coastal Vulnerability and Freshwater Security. The 8-page brochure details effective methods for co-designing and co-implementing science projects with a breadth of stakeholders to move beyond established knowledge. Check it out here and a link to the document has just been posted on the Belmont Forum webpage. The synthesis is a result of the valorization workshop facilitated by Future Earth Coasts and Integration and Application Network in December in San Francisco, California. More on this workshop can be found here.  Lessons learned within the document provide, both those new and familiar with the Belmont Forum,  a compelling view of the research advances and stakeholder engagement supported by the Forum. Also check out this blog posts on the Intergration and Application Network website on the co-development of and workshop preceding this synthesis brochure by Vanessa Vargas (Graduate Assistant with the Integration and Application Network and a PhD student under the Marine Estuarine Environmental Sciences Graduate Program of the University of Maryland).  The co-development of this Synthesis document, I would say, occurred in three phases – before the workshop, during the workshop, and after the workshop.

[caption id="attachment_8051" align="alignright" width="400"] This years 5-day scientific programme of ASSW was hosted by the University of South Bohemia[/caption]

      This year’s Arctic Science Summit Week, hosted by the University of South Bohemia and held in beautiful Prague, attracted over 700 delegates from 28 countries. The 5-day scientific programme was preceded by a business programme where many of the partner research organizations, funding organizations and international networks held workshops and meetings to take advantage of the wide participation of scientific and community experts in attendance, and FEC was no exception.

      As is the case with many large annual scientific conferences, there were multiple parallel sessions, business meetings and other adhoc informal and formal meetings and workshops taking place throughout the week. Here I will focus on only the highlights  which I believe to be most relevant to FEC and our work.

      On the 30th and 31st March, Future Earth Coasts (FEC), together with the Integrated Marine Biosphere Research (IMBeR) international scientific project held a workshop on Arctic continental margins. With funding from the European Space Agency (ESA) , scientists from the joint IMBeR/FEC Continental Margins Working Group (CMWG), the IMBeR regional program ESSAS (Ecosystem Studies of Sub-Arctic and Arctic Seas), the FEC circum-polar network CACCON (Circum-Arctic Coastal Communities KnOwledge Network), and remote sensing experts from the ESA were brought together to :

      (1)         identify relevant issues and the spectrum of knowledge needs for Arctic margins, including the focal region for an Arctic case study; (2)          identify which ESA and other data products can contribute to address these issues and knowledge needs and what knowledge gaps may point to the need for other sources and innovative approaches; and (3)          define a common roadmap and collaborative actions to make full use of the existing datasets in pursuit of the Margins research agenda outline above. [caption id="attachment_8046" align="aligncenter" width="1000"] Scientists from the joint IMBeR/FEC Continental Margins Working Group (CMWG) including the IMBeR regional program ESSAS (Ecosystem Studies of Sub-Arctic and Arctic Seas), the FEC circum-polar network CACCON (Circum-Arctic Coastal Communities KnOwledge Network), and remote sensing experts from the ESA and MaREI[/caption]

      Immediately following this workshop, we convened a meeting with the founding group and program leaders of FEC’s circumpolar engagement partner, the Circum-Arctic Coastal Communities Knowledge Network (CACCON).The group used the opportunity to catch up on and exchange information about the growing number of activities in which communities are driving research agendas, and turning knowledge into actions. Northern communities are increasingly taking control of research and decisions about what research can be undertaken in and around their lands and waters. The group discussed a number of ongoing efforts including, for example, the development of an Inuit-specific research agenda, community-led action research plans, and shared ideas about how the network could pool resources in order to facilitate meetings or other activities that communities deem appropriate for helping to move these processes forward!

      On the 3rd April, we were invited to participate in the Sustainable Arctic Infrastructure Forum (SAIF) which is an outgrowth of RATIC, or Rapid Arctic Transitions due to Infrastructure and Climate Initiative, developed at ICARP III in Toyama, Japan, in 2015. It was a very intense workshop which opened with a keynote and a couple of other presentations, and was immediately followed by breakout sessions to address scientific and policy issues related to major types of infrastructure. The major task of SAIF was to address the cumulative effects of four major types of infrastructure systems: indigenous infrastructure (e.g., camps, trails, corrals, migration corridors, etc.); onshore oil & gas fields (networks of roads, drilling and facility pads, pipelines, etc.); remote communities (village or hamlet infrastructure); and urban infrastructure (cities). Following group presentations, there was a discussion on process and modalities relating to a journal publication and a RATIC strategy document. A “Prague Sustainable Infrastructure Scientific Research Agenda” identified the following tasks to be completed by RATIC in the next five years: (1) Promote the topic of “sustainable infrastructure development” as a key IASC research theme; (2) involve scientists, local communities, governments, industry and the general public in this research; (3) publish a synthesis of sustainable Arctic infrastructure research findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals and more publicly accessible platforms; (4) pursue funding to continue the RATIC initiative; and (5)  develop a strategic plan by December 2017.

      [caption id="attachment_8049" align="alignleft" width="300"] Donald Forbes & Michelle Slaney[/caption]

      On the 6th April, we presented in a session which was co-convened by Donald Forbes and others, and chaired by Bob Rich, Executive Director of the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS). The session (#22), Building partnerships among multiple knowledge systems to enhance understanding of a dynamic Arctic, looked at different aspects of Arctic knowledge production and implementation to resolve pressing challenges related to economic and social development, demographics, globalization, mixed cash and non-cash economies, linguistic and cultural integrity, unprecedented environmental change, health, and well-being. It was very well attended and following the presentations, there was a lively discussion.

      There was also a Belmont Forum Arctic CRA (Collaborative Research Action) scoping workshop to discuss whether or not the themes and objectives highlighted in the first Belmont Arctic Call (in 2014) were still valid and those of highest priority to the scientific community.  There was no clear outcome from this meeting, and the call will not be issued until next year, 2018.

      [caption id="attachment_8047" align="alignright" width="400"] Plenary talk by Mike Jaypoody, from Clyde River (Kangiqtugaapik), Nunavut.[/caption]

      Despite all of the activities and buzz during the sessions and at the coffee breaks, the highlight of the week for me was the plenary talk by Mike Jaypoody, from Clyde River (Kangiqtugaapik), Nunavut. Mike is the IT Coordinator and media specialist at the Ittaq Heritage and Research Centre, part of Ilisaqsivik Society, in Clyde River. His presentation on the Cyberatlas Technology in the North demonstrated how the technology blends digital mapping capabilities with multimedia to create a highly visual, interactive tool that communities are using for research, education, sharing narratives, decision-making, and more. The community of Clyde River has been developing a cyberatlas, Initiated and managed locally, that focuses on the marine environment and brings together Inuit knowledge, science, technology, and visual arts (photography, videography, and drone imaging) to assemble a rich resource of knowledge about the area. Not only is the technology and the sophisticated way of capturing and sharing knowledge very impressive, it is a perfect example of community-driven research enhancing community well-being. It also exemplifies how technology, science and Indigenous Knowledge can be combined for the benefit of diverse groups and for long-term sustainability. The atlas is managed by young Inuit technicians, artists, and leaders from the community who train and exchange skills with visiting university-based researchers and other technicians.

      When the research agenda is developed by and with communities, and includes all types of knowledge and ways of knowing, the outcomes and decision-making related to that research will be more relevant, as it will be rooted in local values and priorities. While this approach is fundamental to the CACCON network and all of its partners and operations, it was evident in speaking with and listening to many of the presenters at ASSW, that this is not an approach that is widely practiced by all disciplines or across all regions of the circumpolar north.  It was also glaringly obvious from the fact that in many of the sessions and workshops, there were not many Indigenous or Arctic community participants present.

      In order to change the conversation (and practice) around sustainability research and transitioning societies to more sustainable futures, there needs to be a paradigm shift in how research is being conducted and how sustainability is being defined (and by whom). Community-defined sustainability challenges are not always the same as those defined from a more theoretical perspective. Evidence, or proof of concept, is powerful in demonstrating how solutions-oriented co-designed and co-delivered research is leading to resilient communities. To that end, we are currently in the process of examining examples of community-research partnerships which have resulted in tangible impacts on the well-being and sustainability of Northern communities. Hopefully, capturing the essence of what it takes to build and sustain successful research partnerships will ultimately lead to more community-driven research that builds resilience and transforms communities. Please visit this space again next week to read more about this initiative, and how you can contribute, in my next blog.

      Date and Time: Wednesday June 7th, 11:00-12:45.

      Decision makers at all scales are now introducing a range of adaptation policies and initiatives to help societies and economies to better cope with ongoing and projected climate change impacts. These adaptation efforts are frequently underpinned by a wide variety of boundary organizations and partnerships who enable adaptation by connecting science to practice and are involved in: the quality assessment of scientific research; disseminating knowledge and building capacity; the design and implementation of adaptation actions and policy instruments; and the evaluation of policy impacts.  However, the mechanisms employed to enable adaptation decision-making adopt a number of approaches and are at differing stages of development/implementation.  Presently, there is no underlying ‘best practice’ in adaptation enabling services or recognised ‘blueprint’ for developing a whole-system approach to the development and delivery of these enabling services.

      By highlighting and unpacking a wide range of approaches at the forefront of enabling adaptation, this session aims to foster collaboration and peer-to-peer learning in order to facilitate the identification of ‘good practice’ in adaptation enabling services and across scales through the development of a ‘blueprint’ for a comprehensive adaptation enabling service.  Through this session, participants will:
      • Explore the range of approaches and mechanisms to enable adaptation deployed and being developed in the UK and Ireland;
      • Examine the lessons learned and the challenges faced;
      • Define key elements of ‘good practice’ in enabling adaptation;
      • Create a design plan or ‘blueprint’ for a comprehensive adaptation enabling service.
      Session Format: The session will consist of a series of facilitated round table discussions where participants will learn about and assess existing enabling services, support the development of key ‘good practice’ recommendations and define a blueprint for an effective and comprehensive adaptation enabling service.
      • Table 1: THE SECTORAL APPROACH (England) – Climate Ready programme (Liz Parkes, England)
      • Table 2: THE WEB BASED APPROACH (Ireland) – Climate Adaptation Platforms in Practice (Barry O'Dwyer, Ireland)
      • Table 3: THE REGIONAL APPROACH (Northern Ireland) - The Climate Northern Ireland Programme (Jane McCullough, Northern Ireland)
      • Table 4: THE PEER-TO-PEER APPROACH (Scotland) – Adaptation Scotland programme (Anna Beswick, Scotland)
      • Table 5: THE LOCAL APPROACH (Wales) - Building Local Confidence (Jim Poole, Natural Resources Wales)
      These five approaches will be analysed in a consistent way to see where they each might sit within an overall, comprehensive adaptation enabling service. Where delegates are already involved in adaptation support, they too will be able to analyse their approach in a similar way, and add it to our evidence base. The ‘blueprint’ for a comprehensive adaptation enabling service emerging from this session should be a powerful means of accelerating adaptation action across Europe. Join our session!

      10-14 July 2017, Columbia University, New-York (NY) - USA

      The WCRP, jointly with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC), is organizing an international conference on sea level research that will address the existing challenges in describing and predicting regional sea level changes, and in quantifying the intrinsic uncertainties. It follows 11 years after the first WCRP sea level conference (Paris, 2006), and three years after the last Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It will provide a comprehensive summary of the state of worldwide climate-related large scale sea level research.

      The conference is a 5-day event with a leading theme guiding the activities of each day. The structure of the conference will consist of plenary sessions followed by extensive poster sessions. In the evenings there are "think-tanks" focusing on new science frontiers and activities. Visit the Conference website for more information.

      Future Earth Coasts are sponsoring the participating of three young/early career scientists in this conference. Here below is a short bio on each of the participants as well as a link to their abstracts.

      A curious mind is a wonderful thing. A group of curious minds remains a power to be reckoned with. Questions deserve answers. Questions like: When do individuals working on climate issues and sustainable development in countries around the world become a cohesive network for transformation? When do the connections between cities, towns, communities, and people reach a tipping point of action that begins to create social change? When is development sustainable? We need, as a society, to figure these things out and quickly!!

      [caption id="attachment_8236" align="alignleft" width="400"] Group photo at the statue of Mazu, Goddess of the Sea, posing as her two bodyguards who can see and hear everything (situated above the Matsu temple of heaven)[/caption]

      There are instances when it is a true privilege to be a part of Future Earth Coasts, when we are lucky enough to be involved in a work trip that transcends a regular meeting and becomes an experience. The Sustainable Development Workshop of South-East Asia (SDWSEA) held in Taipei, Taiwan from May 13-17, was such an experience. Hosted by The Global Change Research Center (GCRC) of National Taiwan University (NTU), this workshop connected practioneers, academics, a finance and budgets officer, students, managers, researchers, and public citizens. With participants from Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Germany, and Ireland, the workshop focused on knowledge exchange around the Sustainable Development Goals in an immersive setting.

      [caption id="attachment_8189" align="alignleft" width="400"] The traditional village of Chin-bi (Beigan)[/caption] [caption id="attachment_8190" align="alignright" width="300"] Different stakeholder hold different views and its important to involve them all[/caption]

      So, what do I mean by an immersive setting? We were lucky enough to spend 2 days on the Matsu Islands of Nangan and Beigan, Islands that very few people ever get to see. This allowed us to really get a feel for the range of issues that small islands in this region are confronting, the opportunities that tourism and sustainable development offer, as well as the potential pitfalls surrounding social cohesion, equity, justice, and unchecked development at this scale. Visiting culturally important sites such as the Queen of Heaven Temple (Nangan) and the War and Peace Museum (Beigan) as well as the traditional village of Chin-bi (Beigan) provided important contextual lessons for us all. Boating through the Beihai Tunnel (BLUE TEARS!!) and walking through the Dahan Iron Fort on Nangan allowed us to gain a greater sense of the military force brought to bear on these small islands during their struggle with mainland China. We were also treated to presentations from Professor Shew-Jiun Su and Professor Wen-Cheng Wang of the National Taiwan Normal University who discussed, among other things, the importance of community participation and stakeholder engagement in the development of the Matsu Islands.

      [caption id="attachment_8198" align="alignleft" width="400"] Poster announcing the public lectures of Prof. Ilan Chabay & Dr. Shona Paterson[/caption]

      In the midst of all this learning it was a real privilege to be invited to speak as part of the Matsu Geopark International Lecture Series. The daunting task of following Professor Ilan Chabay of IASS speaking about Environments, Societies, and Human Behaviours: Changing behaviours of communities to meet Global Sustainability Goals was made easier through the power of multimedia which allowed me to show the Welcome to the Anthropocene short film as well Home while providing a perspective on vulnerability, sustainability, and solutions at the coast. Introducing the concepts of pathways to sustainability and resilience trajectories, topics that are at the centre of the FEC approach, as well as concrete actions towards SDG delivery resonated strongly with the public audience as did the importance of local actions and values in solution definition.

      [caption id="attachment_8192" align="alignright" width="300"] Back in Taipei for the last day of the workshop[/caption]

      On our last morning, back in Taipei at the GCRC, we got to listen to presentations from our colleagues from the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia focussing on their local and national efforts to deliver on country commitments to the SDGs. It was a real treat to listen to Leticia Clemente, the City Budget Officer in Baguio, discuss the importance of involving finance staff at all stages of sustainability planning, Dr Taufik Widjaja from Jakarta talking about the challenges of controlling development in the face of economic necessities, and Huyen Nhung from Hanoi speak about the role of biodiversity in the SDGs.

      So what does this all mean? Working to find commonalities across countries and scales allows us to find innovative solutions to existing issues together, and hopefully prevent the repeat of unsustainable practices through knowledge exchange as economies and regions grow. Future Earth Coasts aims to support these efforts in SE Asia by continuing to nourish important partnerships like the SDWSEA. We can’t wait to help facilitate increasing cooperation between the participants of SDWSEA as well as build on the important foundation laid through this year’s workshop. Watch this space for more stories and successes from the region.

      Ocean acidification may be defined as the global decrease in ocean pH due to the absorption of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Research findings of the past decade have led to mounting concern that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations will cause changes in the ocean’s carbonate chemistry system, and that these changes will affect some of the most fundamental biological and geological processes of the sea.

      WHO ARE WE?

      OA AFRICA NETWORK is composed by scientists interested in conducting research on ocean acidification monitoring and observation in Africa. OA-AFRICA will provide a platform for sharing ideas, designing collaborative research programs, troubleshooting challenges, and facilitate international collaboration and support. Our effort for 2017 world ocean day (June 8) is to create an awareness of OA impact and contribute to the actualization of SDG 14.3 while promoting our network.

      LINE OF ACTION

      • On the 8th of June, go to the coast with a pH meter (preferably before noon)
      • Take a measurement of the ocean pH using the equipment available at your disposal
      • Get your coordinates
      • Take lots of pictures while conducting the measurement.
      • Post it on your social media account with the small description about it (FB, twitter…). Don’t forget to use the #OceanAcidificationAFRICA & #worldoceansday and tag @WorldOceansDay.
      • Finally, send us a copy of the pics and the value of your pH measurements for compilation through the organizing committee mailing address.

      Finding the 'Bright Spots' in these unsustainable and challenging times

      The Ninth International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS IX), “People & Place”, organized by the International Arctic Social Sciences Association (IASSA) is taking place this week in northern Sweden. ICASS, an event held every three years, brings together people from all over the world to share ideas about social science research in the Arctic. Hosted by Arcum (Arctic Research Centre), Sámi dutkan (Language studies) and Vaartoe (Centre for Sami Research) at Umeå University, this conference is expected to draw hundreds of Indigenous peoples, northern residents, decision-makers, politicians as well as academics.

      Representing the Arctic Node of Future Earth Coasts, I will be there, taking part in some of the workshops and sessions, and expanding the ‘coalition of the willing’, or individuals who wish to share their stories and experiences on the Do’s and Don’ts of building community partnerships to address sustainability challenges in northern communities.

      Co-Designing Resilient Arctic Coastal Communities Through Research Partnerships

      These are times of rapid and unprecedented environmental and social change, a statement that is particularly true for the Arctic. Indigenous traditional knowledge (TK) and wisdom is increasingly being challenged and/or found to be insufficient in the face of such rapid change. At the same time traditional research methods and practices of western science are also being found wanting when it comes to reconciling complex sustainability challenges whilst recognizing the needs and cultural setting of Arctic communities.

      As the coordinator of the Circum-Arctic Coastal Communities KnOwledge Network (CACCON), the Arctic engagement partner of Future Earth Coasts (FEC), I am fortunate to work with researchers and program leaders who, through their research approach, have tangible and resilience-building effects on the lives of community members. The CACCON approach is to respond to community-identified research priorities, rooted in TK of the local environment and shaped by community values and priorities. This makes the research more relevant, solutions-oriented, and impactful.

      There are examples of projects that have had international recognition and awards for demonstrably having a societal impact, however, this is often difficult to measure. In contrast to the accountability and monitoring and evaluation requirements for international development efforts, research funders do not always require the transformational societal impact be measured or demonstrated. Being well acquainted with a number of such projects, I started to wonder what was it about these projects and the people involved in designing and carrying out the research, that makes them successful? Why doesn’t everyone undertaking research in Arctic communities understand the importance and necessity of conducting themselves in this manner, whereby communities are equal partners in co-designing and conducting the research, to create new knowledge ? What are the elements of these resilience building research projects that resonates with community members, other researchers, research funding providers, and governments?

      Scientists as service providers

      The one thing that all of these ‘bright spots’ have in common, is that the projects are based on strong research partnerships in which all partners are equal. The research agendas have been co-designed by community members, academic researchers, representatives of government, and sometimes industry. This has resulted in new knowledge being generated from combining different types of knowledge and ways of knowing and different research approaches and methodologies; Is this the only way to address the sustainability challenges we are all currently facing?

      There is a growing recognition among many academics of the need for a transdisciplinary approach to research that engages communities and includes different ways of knowing. However, methods and means for engaging/interacting with communities, which come down to building relationships that requires time, trust, mutual respect, and often times, a common goal, are still poorly understood and practiced. This ‘new’ research paradigm requires an iterative mutual learning process that comes from engaging, in equal partnership, with a broad range of rights- and stakeholder groups throughout the entire research process. But how does one embark on this journey?

      Guidance on doing research and how to Build new partnerships

      There is a range of literature and guidance on collaborative participatory research or community-engagement, especially for academic audiences - everything from blogs on the Dos and Don’ts of Conducting Research up north, to official Guidance documents from Indigenous representative organizations, such as Inuit Taprit Kanatami (ITK), to numerous scientific articles and publications, and a few notable books. There are papers written on the practical tools and techniques to help facilitate relationship building, and documents on why a collaborative process to research is a way of producing “meaningful research”. But meaningful for whom, and by whom? One should always consider what is ‘Meaningful’?

      Guidelines to help communities navigate research relationships have also been drafted, but there is very little material written from the community perspective. Material on how community-researcher relationships/partnerships should be approached and developed, or how the community defines ‘relationship’, ‘trust’, ‘mutually beneficial’, ‘community consent’, what is ‘appropriate’ and ‘meaningful research’, is lacking.

      Proof of concept

      A number of months ago, I embarked on a journey to determine if there was sufficient interest in learning more about what makes these ‘Bright Spots’ unique. I was also curious, given the heterogeneity of communities and diversity of challenges, to explore how these approaches and processes could perhaps be replicated in order to increase the number of projects that are having transformational change in these unsustainable and challenging times.

      I have spoken with many academic researchers, community leaders and research champions, regional research coordinators, and others who are involved in community-led, transformational research projects, to get a variety of perspectives on how to communicate their approach to research partnerships and examples of partnerships and projects that lead to more sustainable communities. Each and every person I have interviewed had something new to tell about their experience, and what guidance or advice they would give to others. Yet, there is a clear thread of commonalities that ring through.

      As this is a purely bottom up, co-designed effort, it is still very much an unfolding document and process. I am merely the facilitator for those who wish to share their experiences, knowledge and advice.

      Invitation

      Following my experience at the Arctic Science Summit Week, I wrote a blog in which I alluded to my relative shock and disappointment at the [small] number of people with whom I spoke, and presentations to which I listened, where co-designed research with the purpose of addressing community priorities was mentioned. Despite the research, ‘bright spots’ and obvious impacts and benefits of conducting research in this manner (ie. through community partnerships) seemed to be largely absent from many people’s minds.

      I would expect that at this upcoming ICASS, with social scientists, the balance will be tipped in the other direction, with more people walking and talking the same walk as myself and all of the research partners within the CACCON and FEC networks.

      Representing the Arctic Node of Future Earth Coasts and continuing my journey to find more 'Bright Spots' please drop me a line at mslaney@mun.ca or if you are at this year's ICASS stop me in the corridors if you wish to discuss this further, and be a contributor, over a coffee (or as we say in Sweden, ‘fika’).

      Colouring our oceans

      Since the launch of the NASA Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) (1978-1986), the first dedicated ocean colour satellite, ocean colour science has advanced rapidly. Data acquired by new generation satellite systems, such as the Sentinel-3 OLCI instrument (2016-present), are already being used for ocean colour at global scales. With applications ranging from fisheries and aquaculture management, implementation of EU directives (e.g. the Water Framework Directive) and supporting Sustainable Development Goal 14 (‘Life under water’), to bathing and drinking water monitoring and citizen science, to mention a few, ocean colour is applied across the world to map our oceans, coastal areas, transitional and inland waters.

      This year, the Third International Ocean Colour Science (IOCS2017) Meeting took place 15-18th May in sunny and warm Lisbon, Portugal. IOCS2017 brought together numerous researchers and scientists in ocean colour, who have been working on the development of advanced methods, new products and innovative applications using remotely-sensed ocean colour data and information. The event was attended by approximately 350 people from around the world, including US, Canada, Argentina, China, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and various European countries. IOCS2017 consisted of four full days of keynote speeches, poster sessions, and breakout workshops, where recommendations were gathered for various fields in ocean colour science, such as hyperspectral measurements, multi-algorithm development, atmospheric correction, and others. This long list of recommendations was then shared and discussed at a plenary session with International Space Agencies that concluded the meeting and was facilitated by the International Ocean-Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG). For more information on this and future events, visit here IOCS IOCCG.

      Events like IOCS2017 promote science that aims to advance our knowledge of the oceans. With the World Oceans Day today Thursday 8th June; https://www.unworldoceansday.org/), the work of the ocean colour community and IOCCG can help raise awareness on issues pertaining to the sustainable use of our oceans. Follow @WorldOceansDay and use #WorldOceansDay #OnePlanetOneOcean

      Attendance to IOCS2017 was primarily supported by the Marine Institute under the Marine Research Programme with the support of the Irish Government, as well as EU H2020 Co-ReSyF and ESA Coastal-TEP.

      Last week, for the first time I had the opportunity to visit and explore the beautiful coastline of County Cork, Ireland. First of all, I was pretty surprised that Ireland’s seabed territory is one of the largest in Europe, and more than ten times Ireland’s land mass. It was my pleasure to have opportunity to meet Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy (MaREI), School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Science, University College Cork (UCC) and Future Earth Coasts colleagues – I discovered that people here are really friendly and welcoming. Moreover, the successful coordination meetings with BONUS project BaltCoast advisory board member Dr. Valerie Cummins (BEES/UCC & Future Earth Coasts SSC Co-Chair) and others were organised to discuss implementation of WP6 "Tools & Science-policy integration" and challenges of my PhD research.

      [caption id="attachment_8301" align="alignright" width="400"] My presentation took place in the Beaufort Building where I met many of the MaREI researchers[/caption] [caption id="attachment_8303" align="alignright" width="400"] Presenting my work on indicators[/caption]

      Have you ever thought that decisions we make now on our coast – can have long term effects in the future? Why do we need to measure coastal and marine sustainability? Management and planning of coastal and marine areas are complex processes that more and more require effective support and coordinated development of socio-economic activities while preserving the environment. Are we moving towards achieving our desired outcomes? Is an indicator something that helps you to understand your position? The need for a more holistic approach to sea planning and management is needed. Therefore, the BONUS project “BaltCoast: A systems Approach Framework for Coastal Research and Management in the Baltic” has the ultimate objective of developing a coherent and systematic management approach that encompasses multiple impacts in a spatially heterogeneous context. This is done by using the Systems Approach Framework (SAF) as a tool to be applied through case studies that reflect current regional management challenges and to develop a generic tool for integrated system assessment. Please follow BONUS project BaltCoast news on Twitter: @BaltCoast_SAF

      [caption id="attachment_8312" align="alignleft" width="300"] A great opportunity to see some of county Cork's impressive coastline[/caption]

      As part of the BONUS BaltCoast project, a new indicator-based tool has been designed specifically to measure the state of sustainability in coastal and marine areas and to evaluate the success of different ICZM best practice examples applied throughout Europe. The tool includes a set of 45 well-established indicators that are grouped into 4 categories: environmental quality, economics, social well-being and governance/process indicator. To have a look at the indicator spreadsheet tool please visit http://www.baltcoast.net/indicators.html

      This methodology can be a tool for the improvement of different ICZM/MSP projects or initiatives because it helps to identify strengths and weaknesses of initiatives and their contribution to sustainable development. Moreover, the methodology based on qualitative results seems to be useful to support strategic planning and SAF evaluations. This will help decision makers, coastal communities or regions to include sustainability into their development and prospective planning.

      All in all, the study visit to Cork was a very rewarding experience for me and I look forward to many more fruitful collaborations in the future.

      by Mycoo, Michelle and Donovan, Michael G.
      Scientific Steering Committee member of Future Earth Coasts, and coordinator of the Caribbean Regional Engagement Partner Node at University of the West Indies, Michelle Mycoo is lead author of a new publication on building capacity to adapt to climate change and increase resilience in cities in coastal zones in small island developing States (SIDS), especially those experiencing rapid urbanization.

      The IDB website says that over the past two decades, national and local governments in Caribbean and Pacific Small Island Development States have partnered with the donor community to implement over $55 billion in development programs, many of which focused on climate change adaptation. The coastal cities of the Caribbean and Pacific SIDS are among the world's most vulnerable cities to rising sea levels and coastal erosion. Currently 20% of the population of these countries, or 4.2 million people, live in low elevation coastal zones that are prone to flooding. Despite the financial burden of adapting to rising sea levels and natural hazards, SIDS are leveraging opportunities to minimize these effects through an emerging Blue Urban Agenda. This research evaluates the lessons learnt from urban coastal adaptation programs in SIDS and provides several policy recommendations to comprehensively address city resiliency to climate change. An institutional mapping of donors active in coastal adaptation in SIDS and a review of more than 50 donor-funded projects highlights the most effective coastal adaptation programs. Comparisons are provided between the Caribbean and Pacific SIDS on climate change, urban development, housing, and access to climate funds. This book provides a way forward to embark on a Blue Urban Agenda that is sensitive to the unique characteristics of SIDS and their commitments in the Small Island Developing States Accelerated Modalities of Action (Samoa Pathway) resolution, COP21, the Sustainable Development Goals, and Habitat III.

      PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 31 DECEMBER 2017 | Interested persons should submit a paper title, list of authors, and tentative abstract (300 words) by 17 December 2017 to the guest editor: Martin Le Tissier (martin.letissier@ucc.ie).

      About this special issues: Global environmental change and the Anthropocene, including changing climates and increased variability, present many threats and risks to both human and biophysical systems at multiple scales across the globe. The outcomes of such changes will progressively impact all aspects of ecosystem functioning including global-to-local social and economic landscapes. No system will be more impacted than our coasts and near-shore environments. Cherished as places of enormous ecological, cultural, social and economic significance sustaining around 50% of the world’s population, the sea and the coasts are also important drivers of the global economy contributing an estimated $2.5 trillion (USD) each year. Arguably the most altered and imperiled social-ecological systems on Earth, coasts are characterised by pervasive unsustainable practices, and are deeply relevant in all seventeen of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (UN, 2015).

      Current assessment procedures rarely efficiently or effectively achieve their principal purpose of promoting sustainable development. As well as understanding causes of phenomena that lead to unsustainability, there is a requirement to better understand future sustainability prospects and methods that institutionalise co-design practices. Such a development would enable coastal nations and regions to pursue coastal sustainability pathways are required. Innovative partnerships that bring together government, civil society, the private sector, knowledge generators, and the media are critical to these efforts. Facilitating this shift in approach necessitates critical reflection on prevailing practices, including consideration of the interconnected ethical, cultural, political, social, legal, engineering, economic, institutional, technological and behavioural dimensions of coastal development.

      This special issue will drill down on futures-orienting approaches to sustainable coastal challenges from a global perspective to local implementation. It will focus on facilitating integrated and impactful knowledge across four themes: i) global stock-taking of future challenges for enhancing sustainability at the coast across scales ii) regional research activities that demonstrate the opportunities and challenges of vertical and horizontal integration of effort iii) national case studies that employ transdisciplinary approaches to solution definition and, iv) local implementation of co-design approaches especially those highlighting partnerships with the private sector.

      The International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) 8 workshop on September the 12th  in Santa Marta, Columbia attracted more than 25 participants from about 20 countries. The ICAN 8 workshop was placed in the context of SDG14 because many of the ICAN resources (Coastal Web Atlases – CWAs) are aiming to raise awareness of our coastal and marine environments while addressing relevant issues like overfishing, ocean acidification,  climate change, disaster and risk management, pollution & coastal and marine management.

      ICAN CWAs are addressing these issues not only through visualisation of geospatial data and information within an interactive map area, but by actively promoting knowledge about our coasts and oceans through accompanying features such as information boxes, learn features, pictures, graphs and text items. These features provide context and for example allow users to better understand presented geographic information while delivering links to the principles of Ocean Literacy. The IOC/UNESCO Ocean Literacy expert Francesca Santoro set the scene on Ocean Literacy (OL) principles for ICAN 8 and ensured that technical discussions stayed within the OL context. ICAN 8 presentations demonstrated how CWAs can for example advance knowledge and appreciation of the Great Lakes, raise awareness of urban marine ecosystems in Sydney Harbour, communicate risks and impacts of tropical cyclones for coastal communities of the Gulf of Mexico and the western Caribbean Sea or empower local fishing communities in Brazil.   The IODE/IOC Ocean Teachers Global Academy (OTGA) training course on Ocean Literacy and Story Telling Maps took place back to back with ICAN 8 linking both events in a complementary way, which allowed ICAN experts to support the OTGA course as instructors and teachers, while learning from each other.  Students from all over South America participated from September 13th till September 15th and worked in teams to produce story maps on coastal and marine issues within an OL context. The course promoted collaborative work and cooperation and facilitated practical use of story mapping technology and as such cultivated networking of course participants across diverse fields of expertise e.g. fisheries, ocean biodiversity or risk and disaster management across South America. For more information on ICAN 8 and the OTGA course please visit the ICAN and OceanTeacher Global Academy website.

      About ICAN

      The International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) is a community of practice of organizations, who have been meeting since 2006, to share experiences and to find common solutions to Coastal Web Atlas (CWA) development. ICAN is a project of UNESCO IOC´s International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) Programme since 2013 and co-chaired out of MaREI.

      The long-term strategic goal of the IODE ICAN (International Coastal Atlas Network) project is to encourage and help facilitate the development of digital atlases of the global coast based on the principle of distributed, high-quality data and information. These atlases can be local, regional, national and international in scale. ICAN aims to achieve this by sharing knowledge and experience among atlas developers in order to find common solutions for coastal web atlas development whilst ensuring maximum relevance and added value for the users.

      The International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) emerged from a series of trans-Atlantic meetings held in 2006 and 2007 between a group of organisations that shared a common interest in Coastal Web Atlas (CWA) development. The ICAN grew in subsequent years into a community of practice developing best practise examples for technical solutions to CWA development, scoping and implementing data interoperability approaches and exploring end user interaction with CWAs. Since 2006, the network has organised seven workshops across the globe in Europe, North America and Africa and is increasing awareness of opportunities for coastal and marine information sharing through the CWAs, while growing the ICAN community.

      Lagoons are dynamic systems highly sensitive to environmental and climate change, but our understanding of how lagoons respond to change globally is limited. Data and knowledge gaps exist to better understanding the socio-environmental implications of future development within lagoon ecosystems in the context of global change. Earth Observation (EO) provides information and data across wide spatial and temporal scales, but it is still unclear how useful this can be to lagoon management.

      17 international experts gathered in MaREI and agreed on a roadmap towards realising the full potential of EO for the management and sustainable use of lagoon ecosystems. This 3-day workshop, funded jointly by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Future Earth, aimed to establish an international collaborative Lagoons Forum to address the suitability of current and future EO missions, data and products for lagoon monitoring and management.

      The workshop report is being prepared and will be published online in October 2017. Future Earth Coasts co-hosted and co-chaired the workshop, along with the MaREI-based EO and GIS Applications Group. A new scientific hub was established (Lagoons Forum) and concrete actions were set for the intermediate future, including the development of an open access Lagoon's Database to enable future studies of lagoon ecosystems. A dedicated website is currently under construction and is expected to be launched this year. Watch this (from) space!

      Editors: Kate Johnson, Heriot Watt University, UK Gordon Dalton, University College Cork, Ireland Ian Masters, Swansea University, UK

      Throughout the world there is evidence of mounting interest in marine resources and new maritime industries to create jobs, economic growth and to help in the provision of energy and food security. Expanding populations, insecurity of traditional sources of supply and the effects of climate change add urgency to a perceived need to address and overcome the serious challenges of working in the maritime environment. Four promising areas of activity for 'Blue Growth' have been identified at European Union policy level including Aquaculture; Renewable Energy (offshore wind, wave and tide); Seabed Mining; and Blue Biotechnology. Work has started to raise the technological and investment readiness levels (TRLs and IRLs) of these prospective industries drawing on the experience of established maritime industries such as Offshore Oil and Gas; Shipping; Fisheries and Tourism. An accord has to be struck between policy makers and regulators on the one hand, anxious to direct research and business incentives in effective and efficient directions, and developers, investors and businesses on the other, anxious to reduce the risks of such potentially profitable but innovative investments.

      The EU H2020 MARIBE (Marine Investment for the Blue Economy) funded project was designed to identify the key technical and non-technical challenges facing maritime industries and to place them into the social and economic context of the coastal and ocean economy. MARIBE went on to examine with companies, real projects for the combination of marine industry sectors into multi-use platforms (MUPs). The purpose of this book is to publish the detailed analysis of each prospective and established maritime business sector. Sector experts working to a common template explain what these industries are, how they work, their prospects to create wealth and employment, and where they currently stand in terms of innovation, trends and their lifecycle. The book goes on to describe progress with the changing regulatory and planning regimes in the European Sea Basins including the Caribbean where there are significant European interests. The book includes:
      • Experienced chapter authors from a truly multidisciplinary team of sector specialisms
      • First extensive study to compare and contrast traditional Blue Economy with Blue Growth
      • Complementary to EU and National policies for multi-use of maritime space

      Editors: Dimitra Kitsiou & michael Karydis Department of Marine Sciences, School of the Environment, University of the Aegean, Levros, Greece

      As the demand for space availability in marine environments increases due to the upward trend and intensity of human activities, Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) becomes the key response for accommodating sectoral policies in a way that is both compatible and ecosystem friendly. The book Marine Spatial Planning: Methodologies, Environmental Issues and Current Trends is addressed to people involved in coastal and marine spatial planning and management, such as administrators, planners, decision makers at different political levels, engineers, stakeholders as well as academic staff. It can also provide a sound background to post-graduate and PhD students working in relevant studies. The reader will be able to find information on the legal framework, the methods used so far, the ecosystem oriented approach and the current views as they have been implemented in some marine areas of the world. The book is organized into three sections: Section One focuses on the governance of the seas, international conventions and laws as well as the physical aspects of the marine environment. Section Two includes the most established methodologies in marine environmental quality assessment and planning; particular emphasis has been placed on integrated methodologies merging political, economic, environmental and societal information. Section Three is a selection of case studies that will familiarize the reader on current aspects and experiences gained from marine spatial studies’ procedures in different areas of the world.

Human and planetary well-being will be measured by the extent to which coastal communities can navigate towards sustainable development pathways. Such aspirations have underpinned the Future Earth Coast project since it first started in 1993 under its former name of Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ). Realising this aspiration necessitates critical reflection on prevailing practices, institutional structures and processes, including  the interconnected dimensions of coastal development (such as ethical, cultural, political, social, economic, institutional, technological and behavioural). There is a compelling need for new trajectories of coastal research that transcend disciplinary boundaries and bridge the divides between science, policy and practice. Consequently, there is a drive for international scientific collaboration and engagement between natural and social scientists, in partnership with society and users of science, to generate knowledge that can support transformations to a sustainable world. Towards this end, Future Earth Coasts has produced the "OUR COASTAL FUTURES" strategy to promote action towards the sustainable development of the world’s coasts. The implementation of “OUR COASTAL FUTURES” strategy will help stakeholders work together to unlock regionally appropriate opportunities for the sustainable development of our shared coastal zones. The strategy will:
      • Enable regional stakeholders and institutions to develop a common understanding of their coasts and future prospects;
      • Co-design robust strategies to chart desired coastal futures; and
      • Co-produce innovative coastal sustainability initiatives and pathways to achieve these desired outcomes, and realise the Sustainable Development Goals.

      The strategy document was recently used at the #OurCoastalFutures workshop - Looking for a future in assessments held from 26-28 March in Cork | Ireland. The output of this workshop is summarized here.

      <![CDATA[A roadmap towards sustainability, resilience and innovation in the Caribbean]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/roadmap-caribbean/ Tue, 17 Apr 2018 10:01:16 +0000 https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=8759 A roadmap towards sustainability, resilience and innovation in the Caribbean. Sustainability, resilience and innovation matter in the Caribbean. Comprising of a total of 30 nations and territories and up to 5000 islands this unique chain of islands all have their own identity, history, culture, and of course, challenges. For example, The Eastern Caribbean is considered by many to be one of the most disaster-prone regions of the world. Climate change is increasing disaster vulnerability in a region already exposed to a range of natural hazards, including tectonic and volcanic activity, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods and storm surges. In recognition of this reality, the Caribbean is currently at the forefront of global initiatives such as the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The transboundary nature of shared ocean resources means collaborating closely to realise sustainable opportunities for the region is critical as new and innovative options for managing oceans and coasts are explored. Tackling collective issues such as maritime safety and security are just as important as protecting the underlying marine resources upon which regional blue economy and marine based industries thrive. [caption id="attachment_8762" align="alignright" width="300"] Workshop participants of the[/caption] In January 2018, Future Earth Coasts had the privilege to help craft, coordinate, and deliver a capacity building workshop entitled ‘Utilising Earth Observation to support Blue Growth and Risk Management in the Caribbean’. The workshop, funded by the European Space Agency and held in St Lucia, was a collaborative effort between Future Earth Coasts, the Organisation for Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), University College Cork/MaREI (UCC), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and the World Bank. This exciting four-day event brought together experts from Member and Associate Member States of the OECS, the University of the West Indies, UCC, the University of South Florida, the Department of Environment-Belize, and representatives from the private sector, ACRI-HE. The event was designed to explore how Earth Observation (EO) data could be used to help support regional and local research efforts in four key issue areas.
      1. Fisheries and Aquaculture
      2. Maritime Safety and Security
      3. Sargassum Influxes into Coastal Systems
      4. Climate Change and Risk Reduction
      We are proud to launch the outputs of this workshop, in the form of a roadmap, to clearly articulate regional priorities that were identified during the event. We hope this document will enable policy and decision makers, researchers, and stakeholders to get a snapshot of regional issues, needs, and actions as well as how EO may be a tool to augment existing efforts. There is an ever-evolving need for sustainable development and economic security in the face of global change. As technology advances, new innovations become open to us that can assist in creative solution identification. However, the key to all solutions remains people. Investment in people to help raise capacity and capabilities, while providing space for collaborations and discussion remains the key to sustainable development in the Caribbean and beyond. We, at Future Earth Coasts, are lucky to have numerous important partnerships and collaborative opportunities dedicated to helping people contribute to global coastal sustainability.

      Published in: Estuaries and Coasts | Springer US | Volume 41/2018 | ISSN: 1559-2723 (Print) 1559-2731 (Online)
      Authors: John R. Zeldis | National Institute of Water and Atmopheric Research, Christchurch, New Zealand Dennis P. Swaney | Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, New York, USA

      The Land Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) program (now Future Earth – Coasts) first attempted to create a simple methodology to assess biogeochemical budgets of coastal water bodies and their implications for coastal ecosystem metabolism in the 1990s (Gordon et al., 1996).   An original goal of LOICZ was to evaluate the global significance and regional variation of ecosystem metabolism of coastal waters, especially along the coastlines of developing countries.  Toward this end, methods were developed with parsimonious data requirements because of limitations on data available to characterize coastal systems in these under-resourced regions.  The integrative approach has remained popular, and has been used more recently in educational and management applications, providing simple frameworks for using data to assess the linkages between human activities, the associated nutrient loads to coastal ecosystems, and their impact on their water quality and ecosystem metabolism.  This paper by Zeldis and Swaney represents an application to New Zealand bays aimed at helping managers determine the dominant drivers of water quality in these systems.

      Abstract: Nutrient mass balance analyses are a way of obtaining ‘whole system’ viewpoints on coastal biogeochemical functions and their forcing. Seasonal mass balances are presented for four large bay systems in New Zealand (NZ), with the aim of showing how they can inform coastal management. Freshwater volumes, and surface and groundwater, wastewater and atmospheric inorganic and organic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) were balanced with levels of salinity, N and P from ocean surveys, used to determine non-conservative N and P fluxes and, via stoichiometry, carbon (C) fluxes. For Golden and Tasman Bays and Hauraki Gulf, exchange with adjacent shelf waters usually dominated total N supply (80–85%). In contrast, for the Firth of Thames, 51% of total N and 85% of dissolved inorganic N supply originated from its agricultural catchment. Net ecosystem metabolism (NEM; balance of autotrophy and heterotrophy) of Golden and Tasman Bays and Hauraki Gulf was usually nearly balanced. In contrast, Firth NEM was highly seasonally variable, often exhibiting strong heterotrophy coincident with expression of respiration-related stressors (low O2 and high DIC/low pH). Denitrification accounted for about 51% of total N export across the four systems, signifying its importance as a eutrophication-regulating ecosystem service. Budgets made 12 years apart in the Firth showed decreased denitrification efficiency, coincident with large increases in system N and phytoplankton. The findings for land-ocean nutrient balance, NEM and denitrification showed how mass balance budgeting can inform coastal management, including inventories of nutrient inputs, balances of oceanic and terrestrial nutrient loading, and potential for risk associated with biogeochemical responses.

The Research Strategy will be implemented through Working Groups that collate and synthesize available science and identify research gaps around 3 Themes of enquiry focused on 4 geographical hotspots of coastal change and vulnerability. The outputs of our Research Strategy will not only contribute towards the Our Coastal Futures initiative, but also international initiatives, such as the UN 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, the Sendai Framework and the Paris Agreement, regional initiatives, such as the Regional Seas Programme (UNEP & others) and LMEs (IOC/UNESCO), and at national or local scales. If you are interested in joining one of our Working Groups, whatever your discipline, sector and career stage then please get in touch with us at info@futureearthcoasts.org.  The Working Groups are focused around the changing state of coasts; impacts of coastal change on economy and society; and identifying options and choices for societal transitions towards sustainability. The Research Strategy is designed to provide a framework that addresses the:
      • The multiplicity of policy visions at multiple scales and across multiple sectors.
      • The complexity arising from socioeconomic and ecological interactions.
      • Resolve contradictions between short-term targets, mid‐term ambitions andlong‐term visions.
      The outcomes of the Future Earth Coasts Research Strategy will:
      • Enable research that addresses key issues of coastal change, in the context of scenarios of future human activity and  environmental change.
      • Promote fundamental research around the themes identified in this plan, as well as synthesising research across scales and disciplines for dissemination to relevant stakeholders at multiple levels.
      • Valorise results to ensure that the scientific outcomes and outputs are credible, salient and legitimate, and can be effectively applied in practice based on co‐design and co-production, where relevant.

The conference built on the ambitions of the African Union’s “Agenda 2063” strategy, and Sustainable Development Goal 11, on building sustainable cities and communities. Delegates focused attention on the enormous challenges of African urbanization, including how to realize the potential of urbanization, the interconnections between rural and urban areas, and burning issues like sustainable urban housing, urban ecosystems and ecological management, urban economic and spatial management, livelihood security, urban health security, disaster preparedness and management, adapting to climate change and the role of the coast in Africa’s urbanization. Bruce Glavovic, Co-Chair of Future Earth Coasts Scientific Steering Committee highlighted the pivotal role of Africa’s coastal cities and towns in realizing Sustainable Development Goal 11 and Agenda 2063. He outlined the pivotal role the coast plays in African culture and for current and future generations of Africans living in the coastal zone. His presentation can been seen here. As the process of urbanization and economic development unfolds in coming decades, it will be African coastal cities and towns that open up or close down opportunities for inclusive, resilient and sustainable development. Bruce provocatively stated that the global sustainability struggle will be won or lost in African coastal towns and cities of the future; not the least reason being the sheer number of people anticipated to live here in future. The coastal city of Lagos, Nigeria, could be the most populous city on earth by 2100, home to over 88 million people. By this time, Lagos, and other low-lying African coastal towns and cities will bear the brunt of coastal hazard impacts made much worse by climate change, and rising sea levels. The imperative to reduce disaster risk and build resilience and sustainability into rapidly growing African coastal cities is therefore obvious. The Future Earth Coasts “Our Coastal Futures” strategy offers a useful framework for enabling the transition towards more inclusive, resilient and sustainable futures in African coastal cities and regions. The strategy presents a four step process for co-designing pathways to coastal sustainability. Africa’s Regional Seas programmes provide an institutional forum for helping to make this transition, and could use the ‘logic’ of the “Our Coastal Futures” strategy to do so. All maritime regions of Africa are covered by Regional Seas Programmes, through the Abidjan Convention (West Africa), Nairobi Convention (East Africa), Barcelona Convention (Mediterranean / North Africa), and the Jeddah Convention (Red Sea and Gulf of Aden). African coastal cities in each of these regions are focal points of opportunity and action for building resilience and sustainability. Bruce explained how the “Our Coastal Futures” strategy could be mobilized by African Regional Seas Programmes to complement other regional and continental initiatives. Action at such a regional and continental scale can and should be complemented by actions at national and local levels, including community-based coastal hazard risk reduction and climate change adaptation endeavours. Bruce outlined key elements of such local-level efforts that put African people at the center of their own development pathways, with the enabling support of African social and natural scientists, and community and political leaders. Guidance produced under the auspices of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission is in the process of being finalized and will assist communities in this task. Future Earth Coasts also provides a forum and network for coastal scholars from Africa to build bridges between science and local and traditional knowledges, and to craft new ‘science-society contracts’ that put African inclusivity, resilience and sustainability at the forefront of African development endeavours.

This was the brief that was handed down by the RAEng Frontiers of Development GCRF Programme Officers. There are many important words in that sentence and several avenues to explore obviously, but the key direction that really started the intellectual juices flowing was “challenge-led”. As a generalisation, the science community has become very adept at identifying and describing problems. While this approach no doubt has its merits, this planet and the species on it – especially humans – are in desperate need of solutions, particularly in the face of climate change. Imagining the potential impacts that a 3° increase in global temperature will have on coastal communities worldwide has a galvanising effect on the mentality of those of us obsessed with sustainability and well-being. This sort of temperature rise would lead to more dramatic sea level rise, increased frequency and intensity of extreme events and cascading risks, all of which would have impacts on managed and natural ecosystems, water resources, agriculture and food security, human health, and critical infrastructure. [caption id="attachment_9369" align="alignright" width="1000"] FoD participants discussing the role governance plays in helping to achieve increased resilience and sustainability in the coastal zone[/caption] So…how do we even start thinking about shifting the problem defining talk into solution generating dialogue? The Frontiers of Development (FoD) programme provides just such an enabling environment. FoD brings together participants from engineering, medical, social and natural science backgrounds across industry and academia to encourage interdisciplinary collaborations on global challenges with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the heart. Each FoD symposium deliberately fosters a collaborative, inclusive atmosphere aimed at generating discussion and knowledge transfer. The event held from the 15th to the 18th of July, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was no different. Bringing together a truly international group of experts from multiple disciplines with a massive variety of cultural and professional backgrounds was an inspired backdrop to conversations and discussions around four main themes:
      • Climate Induced Disaster Mitigation and Resilience
      • Management and Protection of Marine Ecosystems
      • Sustainable Blue Economy
      • Critical Emerging Topics: Marine Plastics
      So back to the idea of challenge-led. Coastal and marine systems are constantly changing as a result of biophysical and socio‐economic activities. Over three billion people depend on marine ecosystems and their resources: thirteen of the world’s 20 megacities are coastal, a testament to their importance for national and global socioeconomic well-being and growth. Today, management encompasses decisions of what to regulate, what enterprises and initiatives to promote, and which ecosystem services are most important to citizens and businesses. Protection and management of these systems, and the services they provide, has become a complex challenge of trade-offs and compromise. Effective co-design, that bring together societal partners to build a common understanding about the coast and of future prospects, is key to finding sustainability solutions to the interconnected and increasing pressures that come together at the coast. However, we need to go beyond just bringing people together. It is only by challenging our own assumptions, practices, methods, approaches, mind-sets, values, and behaviours that we will start to first identify solution spaces and then take advantage of our collective learning and knowledge to enact those solutions. [caption id="attachment_9368" align="alignleft" width="300"] The professional and experiential diversity of participants meant that perceptions and assumptions were constantly challenged in rewarding ways[/caption] The Brazil FoD symposium provided the opportunity for the participants to do just that, and we at FEC can’t wait to help facilitate increasing cooperation between the participants as well as build on the important foundation laid during this event.

The future of our Blue Planet is increasingly reliant on the services delivered by marine and coastal waters. Maintenance of these services relies on the advancement of effective, evidence-based decisions for management and sustainable development of human's relationship with complex socio-ecological systems. More than three billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods, yet examples of how society is placing pressures on coastal and ocean systems include:
      • 30% of the world’s fish stocks over exploited, which is well above the levels required for sustainable yields.
      • Oceans absorb around 30% of the carbon dioxide released by human activity that has led to ocean acidification increasing by 26% since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
      • Marine pollution mainly due to land-based sources has reached alarming levels, with 13,000 pieces of plastic waste on average, littering every square kilometre of ocean.
      The 4th GEO Blue Planet Symposium served as a forum for discussion of ocean and coastal information needs for sustainable development, Blue Growth and societal awareness. The symposium brought together producers of ocean and coastal information and current and potential users of ocean and coastal information, sharing their experience with the audience. The three day symposium included five sessions and panel discussions that covered oceans and coastal information from the perspective of environmental and economic pressures, blue growth opportunities,  sustainability measures and societal awareness. Future Earth Coasts were, together with Emily Smail from Geo Blue Planet and University of Maryland, involved in convening a session on 'Ocean and Coastal Information in Support of Sustainable Development'. [caption id="attachment_9398" align="alignright" width="300"] Emily Smail and Martin Le Tissier jointly convened session 4 at the symposium.[/caption]

      Session 4: Ocean and Coastal Information in Support of Sustainable Development

      The global ocean and coastal communities recognize the need for a step change in the way in which they coordinate and “hardwire” the links between technological innovation and sustained observations of the ocean and coasts, the analyses and forecasts, the information and services they jointly provide, and the approach to ocean and coastal policies for sustainability. This session aimed to connect current and potential users to ocean and coastal information that is currently available to support sustainable development in general, and the SDG monitoring and implementation in particular. The sessions concluded with a facilitated discussion, led by Future Earth Coasts, to identify information gaps and priorities for future research that could be led by GEO Blue Planet. [caption id="attachment_9399" align="alignleft" width="1000"] The symposium brought together producers of ocean and coastal information and current and potential users of ocean and coastal information, sharing their experience with the audience.[/caption] All the presentations and videos of the Symposium will be available for download and together with the Event Outcomes will be published on the Geo Blue Planet website by fall 2018.

Society and Sea conference | Greenwich | 6 & 7 September 2018 A joint blog post of Future Earth Coasts (FEC) (Shona Paterson, Hester Whyte & Martin Le Tissier), MaREI (ERI/UCC) (Aoife Deane), East Carolina University (Lisa Beth Robinson), University of Wisconsin (Kristin Thielking) and geographer & author Mrill Ingram.  Are we going about it all wrong? Tell you what - let's throw a bunch of artists and a geographer from the States plus an Irish public engagement specialist in the FEC-ing mix and explore how we can make Sustainable Development Goal 14 Life Below Water more prominent on peoples agenda....so the scene setting began for a workshop session held at the second Society and Sea conference where we explored how Art could facilitate, ignite and support Global Coastal sustainability. [caption id="attachment_9475" align="alignleft" width="300"] 1.

      [caption id="attachment_9601" align="alignright" width="300"] Aoife Deane facilitated the participant's feedback and inputs as they were captured directly within the online tools or transcribed during the session to maintain the real-time inter activeness of the workshop.[/caption] Connecting Art & Science in Support of Coastal Sustainability Development In a world of constantly shifting biophysical and social realities, we face an ever-evolving and urgent need for new ideas around the conception and realisation of sustainable development. This is especially pertinent in coastal land and sea spaces: spaces where the greatest confluence of societal activities occurs and some of the most productive and dynamic natural systems must co-exist. Despite continued discourse around the importance of the oceans and coasts, epitomised by Sustainable Development Goal 14, Life Below Water, gaining traction remains agonisingly slow when it comes to shifting behaviours or resonating with society on a broader scale.  But how do we broaden the conversation? How do we change our own operating procedures in order to galvanise momentum for action? We all recognise that people process knowledge and communicate that knowledge differently. Historically there has been a strong connection between the Arts and Sciences, just think of the work of Leonardo da Vinci who is recognised as a master of Art and Science. Both Science and Art share a common motivation and goal to understand and describe the world around us. Art, in its many and varied forms, has the liberty and ability to generate shifts in social perceptions and behaviors in ways that science and data alone currently do not. An immediate need to reinvigorate linkages between the arts and sciences is in order to address urgent issues of our time. It is around this statement that a long-held dream was dragged into reality during the Society and the Sea Conference in Greenwich, UK (Sept 6-7th). Despite recognition of the need to connect art and science more closely, truly integrated, co-designed, and co-produced collaborations between art and science disciplines are still rare. We (FEC) in collaboration with two talented artists (Lisa Beth Robinson and Kristin Thielking from East Carolina University and the University of Wisconsin respectively), an author and geographer (Mrill Ingram) and a communication and engagement specialist (Aoife Dean from MaREI) are attempting to do our bit to change this. [caption id="attachment_9468" align="alignleft" width="300"] We started the session asking participants what they associated with SDG14 which created this word cloud.[/caption] Our session at Society and the Sea, entitled Thresholds: Art, Social Impact and Reinvention, engaged both artists and scientists in a facilitated knowledge exchange designed to generate collaborative pathways for action. By discussing past and current projects, as well as future aspirations, we were able to outline opportunities and challenges for art-science integration throughout project instigation, execution, and sustainability phases. ONGOING OUTPUT: To capture the session not only before and during the workshop but also to become a platform that lives on beyond the conference we set up a Padlet site. An online space where you can find all the presentations as well as the session abstract, interesting links and photos. To access the padlet site go to: https://padlet.com/FutureEarthCoasts/ArtSea Note: You can comment on the existing content or add anything you think can be of interest by simply logging into the Padlet site.
      We were also able to present, and more importantly discuss, an ongoing project (See below and/or download here: How do you catch a wave?) as an example of work designed specifically to deliver Sustainable Development Goal awareness and resonance with multiple audiences in the media of glass fusion and photogrammetry. This is but the first outing of a collaboration that has several long term goals associated not least the aim to take advantage of the aspirational and collective nature of the sustainable development goals and the UN Agenda 2030 to inspire meaningful and impactful collaborations around coastal and ocean spaces.

      What I found most profound in the post-presentation discussion was the way the scientists stepped outside traditional boundaries to reflect on their passion for their work. We observed them envisioning how collaborating with artists at the initiation of a project had the potential to create entirely new solutions that are beautiful and would reach a much broader audience. The energy in the room was exciting and I wish we had more time to talk.

Here you can do both!
      Urban Resilience for Risk and Adaptation Governance | Theory and Practice Editors: Brunetta, G., Caldarice, O., Tollin, N., Rosas-Casals, M., Morató, J. (Eds.) This book brings together a series of theory and practice essays on risk management and adaptation in urban contexts within a resilient and multidimensional perspective. The book proposes a transversal approach with regard to the role of spatial planning in promoting and fostering risk management as well as institutions’ challenges for governing risk, particularly in relation to new forms of multi-level governance that may include stakeholders and citizen engagement.
      HIGHLIGHTING CHAPTER 2: The definition of Urban Resilience | A transformation path towards collaborative urban risk governance by Julie-Maude Normandin, Marie-Christine Therrien, Mark Pelling and Shona Paterson Urban resilience is constantly being redefined. However, when it comes to implementation, resilience must be translated into practical forms that make sense. This chapter presents case studies detailing how London and Montreal have interpreted and used the concept as a path towards collaborative risk governance.

      HIGHLIGHTING THIS ARTICLE:  A simple spatial typology for assessment of complex coastal ecosystem services across multiple scales Authors:Tim O'HigginsAntónio A.Nogueira & Ana I.Lillebø

      This paper aims to present and demonstrate the applicability of a methodology to characterise supply and demand for ecosystem services (ES) on the basis of spatial properties and interdependence, and economic properties of ES. The typology is demonstrated to support inclusion of ES flow in social-ecological systems management. Ria de Aveiro coastal lagoon, Portugal, is used as a showcase for the proposed spatial typology for ecosystem services assessment across multiple scales.

      Restoration in a Coral Reef Socio-Ecological System  Natalia Uribe-Castañeda The thesis developed a new conceptual framework to understand coral reef socio-ecological systems and restoration. The framework can be used as a guide for managers, researchers and decision makers to analyze a coral reef socio-ecological system and to develop a successful restoration initiative, which includes the basic social and ecological criteria for designing, implementing and monitoring a successful initiative from a holistic approach.

      A Socio-Environmental analysis for the management of Coastal lagoons in North Africa Badr El Mahrad Coastal lagoons that fringe the coastline of North Africa, from Morocco to Egypt provide many valuable ecosystem services, goods and natural resources to people living around their margins. The thesis used a modified and expanded holistic approach DAPSI(W)R(M) (Drivers - Activities - Pressures - State changes - Impacts (on welfare) - Responses (as Measures) to provide the scientific knowledge base for the appropriate management of coastal lagoon (as socio-ecological systems).

      Application of the Circle of Sustainability methodology to coastal systems Natália Maria Palmeira de Alencar The thesis focused on the development of a unifying, locally adaptable framework to assess sustainability in coastal social-ecological systems. The framework was based on elements of existing frameworks and indexes from different fields, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), Planetary Boundaries framework, Doughnut for social and planetary boundaries framework, Circles of sustainability framework, Ocean Health Index and Sendai framework for risk reduction. The framework was tested for Spanish coastlines.

      ABOUT ASLO 2019: A wealth of topics will be discussed at the meeting, many stemming from key areas of importance to the area itself at this crucial time – the role of science at the center of all economic, societal and environmental recovery and development efforts, studies on renewable energy, environmental sustainability, clean water, and rebuilding and maintaining terrestrial ecosystems. Science and innovative problem-solving are keys to creating a better and more resilient world, and this speaks truth to the residents of Puerto Rico. While ASLO’s meeting in San Juan will benefit Puerto Rico for the short-term, the outcomes of the ASLO 2019 Aquatic Sciences Meeting can impact the island for the long-term.  This presents an excellent opportunity for ASLO to showcase how they are doing their part to train scientists in communication to the public and to teach effective research skills to future generations. As with all ASLO meetings, organized activities will be available that will allow participants to use culturally-relevant projects and strategies to make science more engaging. The scientific program will take place Sunday, 24 February, through Friday, 1 March.  The full meeting dates are set Saturday, 23 February, to Saturday, 2 March, to allow meeting participants to take part in educational activities, volunteer opportunities, and culturally relevant events that will focus on environmental and ecosystem restoration as well as the resilience of the land.

The format of the workshop was to co-design and co-produce an output that could be used to further stimulate collaboration and joined-up thinking. The workshop held in University College Cork over three days set out to get a clear picture of existing strategies across the different regional seas and where the linkages, similarities and differences lie. This has resulted in the publication of a document outlining the vision and way forward for partnering towards a more sustainable future for the world's coasts. In order to effectively work towards this it was important to not only bring the different governing bodies to the table but also to ensue discussion was aligned with the existing strategies and plans. [caption id="attachment_9641" align="aligncenter" width="917"] This 6 page output is the result of a three day workshop between representatives of the regional seas and UN Environment with Future Earth Coasts researchers held in Cork, Ireland in March 2018.

      Different angles, different backgrounds and different perspectives...try bringing that together! 

      As part of the workshop the "OUR COASTAL FUTURES" strategy, that aims to promote action towards the sustainable development of the world’s coasts, was used as a foundation to further support regional organisations. The main aim of the “OUR COASTAL FUTURES” strategy is to help stakeholders work together to unlock regionally appropriate opportunities for the sustainable development of our shared coastal zones. You can read more about how the strategy was developed and download the document here. FEC SSC co-Chair Bruce Glavovic explained the history and development of #OurCoastalFutures followed by vice-Chair Don Forbes providing an example of the process of assessment to action though his experience with the Arctic State of the coasts initiative and SmartICE. The workshop then continued by taking stock of what kind of assessments are already happening in the different regional seas starting with UN Environment's representatives Helen Davies outlining how the Regional Seas programme is supported by 143 countries, covering Polar, Africa, Latin America & Caribbean, Asia Pacific & South East Asia and also looking  how they can better support the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals support and Joana Akrofi explaining the history of the Regular Process - the cycles of the World Ocean Assessment. See also:United Nations World Ocean Assessment Kari Hyytianinen gave insight into the Baltic BONUS programme and how they are exploring consequences of alternative global futures followed by an overview by Helcom representative Soile Oinonen on the how and why of the state of the Baltic Sea Holistic Assessment development. The history and development of Plan Bleu's assessment on futures & state of the environment in the Mediterranean was outlined by UN PAP/RAC's Elen LeMaitre-Curri. And details on the regional state of the coast report for the Western Indian Ocean was provided by WIOMSA's Julius Frances. "We want simple but we have complexity & chaos" Glenn Page (Sustainametrix) After having heard from the different regional seas and their approach to assessments Bill Dennison and Heath Kelsey from the Integration and Application network of the University of Maryland looked at the commonalities and differences through a number of group exercises together with co-facilitator Glenn Page from SustainaMetrix, and determined how to sequence and prioritise actions. The workshop output was drafted during the workshop and a final version was created after a period of reviewing and editing and the result can be downloaded HERE.

The session is cross-listed under Global Environmental Change (GC), Natural Hazards (NH), GeoHealth (GH), Atmospheric Sciences (A), and Ocean Sciences (OS). Read on to find out about the scope of the session: GC005 -  Advancing Research to Understand, Assess, and Predict the Impacts of Global Change on National Security. Integrated observations, process research, and modeling of Earth systems advance our ability to understand and predict global change and the coupled natural and human processes that drive it. These processes, acting and interacting across scales, pose direct and indirect risks to national security through their impacts on our food, energy, water, transportation, and other human systems, as well as through transformations of the built and natural environments. Our understanding of these interconnected impacts is poised for major advances thanks to technological developments, improvements in measurement and modeling, and new experimental and analytical techniques. This session welcomes abstracts showcasing the emerging knowledge and research capabilities that can elucidate the connections between global change and security--in particular, research in strategic regions where multiple global change processes overlap (such as the Arctic or coastal regions), and in important thematic areas (such as natural hazards, the food-energy-water nexus, community displacement, or human health). You can submit abstracts HERE, and find information on registration, logistics, travel support etc. HERE. The submission deadline is July 31.

      The Chairman of the ICMGP 2019, Prof. Józef Pacyna, is inviting you - on behalf of the Scientific Steering Commitee - to the 14th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP 2019): "We look forward to welcoming you in Krakow, the city that has traditionally been one of the leading centers of Polish and European academic, cultural and artistic life. The ICMGP 2019 Conference will be a very important step in assessing the completeness of our knowledge on mercury as a global environmental pollutant on one side, and implementation of solutions to reduce the emissions and exposure to this pollutant on the other side. In this way, the Conference will be the first major event of testing the efficiency of implementation of the Minamata Convention in various parts of the world. Needs for improvement of our knowledge on mercury in the environment, as well as measures of improvement of the Minamata Convention implementation efficiency will be discussed. Therefore, the theme of the ICMGP 2019 is:

      Bridging knowledge on global mercury with environmental responsibility, human welfare and policy response.

      We truly believe that the ICMGP 2019 Conference will be the main place to review our knowledge on mercury research and implementation of its results for reduction of our exposure to this dangerous pollutant. The Conference will also be the place to define future research avenues and policy directions for meeting the targets presented in the various environmental programs and organizations aiming at lowering the presence of mercury in the environment, with a prominent example of the Minamata Convention. The 14th ICMGP will be organized in a newly opened interna tional ICE Krakow Congress Centre, which easily accomodate the anticipated number of participants of about 1000, including scientists, policy makers, representatives from industry, producers of monitoring and emission control equipment, and others.Krakow is already gearing up to welcome the participants of the 14th ICMGP in 2019."

This time the IPCC focuses on the life-sustaining oceans and cryosphere that define this Blue Planet, complementing recent Special Reports on 1.5C (https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/) and Land (https://www.ipcc.ch/report/srccl/). This SROCC report shows that the ocean has been absorbing CO2 and ameliorating the worst effects of global warming. But the ocean warming and acidification already underway is causing significant impacts on ocean- and coast-dependent livelihoods and profoundly impacts prospects for human well-being and life on earth. The IPCC scientific assessment is unequivocal: human-induced climate change is already driving major changes in the ocean and cryosphere, two of the ‘biggest’ biogeochemical systems on earth. Climate change is not some distant problem for future generations to worry about. It is an immediate imperative relevant to every citizen, policy-maker, community and governing authority.
    The choices we make now will shape patterns and pathways of development that determine the extent and nature of further changes to these foundational systems; and consequently life on earth.
    For the significant proportion of humanity living along our shorelines, one of the greatest challenges is the reality of sea-level rise that is already underway and accelerating. Again, this is not some distant concern but an immediate and pressing reality. Continuous and unstoppable sea-level rise imperils those living on low-lying small island states, deltas and shorelines. Moreover, extreme sea level events that are historically rare, occurring perhaps only once every 100 years in the recent past, are now expected to occur often, at least once a year, in many coastal locations by 2050. Despite the dire implications and warnings expounded in this IPCC Special Report, it concludes with a clear and compelling message: “Enabling climate resilience and sustainable development depends critically on urgent and ambitious emissions reductions coupled with coordinated, sustained and increasingly ambitious adaptation actions (very high confidence).”  
    The recently declared UN Decade of the Oceans (2021-2030) (https://www.oceandecade.org/) is timely. The choices made in the coming decade by our ocean- and coast-dependent communities will shape prospects for future generations and indeed life on earth.

    A workshop on the involvement of regions in global ocean governance

    Blog post by Kyle Fawkes,UCC Regimes to govern the oceans and their resources have increasingly sought integrated and international approaches. The establishment of SDG14 and its seven targets have perhaps underscored this best. Regional bodies have emerged as a socially and environmentally relevant approach to addressing SDG14 and related coastal challenges. The Marine Regions Forum (MRF) was convened from September 30 – October 2 to consider how the regions can contribute to achieving healthy oceans beyond 2020. The forum served as an informal and transdisciplinary platform that aimed to galvanize efforts toward SDG14 through the motivation of initiatives, actions and partnerships at the regional level. It attracted participation from across the ocean governance arena and inlcuded decision makers, scientists and civil society actors. Hosted by the European Commission, the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS), TMG Think Tank for Sustainability, the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, Umweltbundesamt (German Environment Agency) and the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI), the forum [caption id="attachment_10859" align="alignleft" width="300"]FEC co-Chair, Valerie Cummins presenting about the need to align assessments with sustainable development pathways, session 3.2.2: Enhancing the role of regions in the global assessment process [Mike Muzurakis, IISD Reporting Services] FEC co-Chair, Valerie Cummins presenting about the need to align assessments with sustainable development pathways, session 3.2.2: Enhancing the role of regions in the global assessment process [Mike Muzurakis, IISD Reporting Services][/caption]featured a series of dialogue sessions covering SDG14, global governance processes and knowledge for action. Two of these sessions were co-lead by Future Earth Coasts. On October 1, FEC’s Executive Director Sebastian Ferse facilitated a session with colleagues from the IASS, on the role of traditional ecological knowledge in regional ocean governance. The presentations and dialogue focused on lessons learned from the Arctic Council and Pacific Island Nations, benefits and limitations of combining traditional knowledge with western science, legal and political recognition of traditional knowledge, how to better integrate traditional knowledge within science-policy processes and the need for guiding principles for traditional knowledge application. Then on October 2nd, an FEC team composed of Valerie Cummins, Kyle Fawkes and Sebastian Ferse joined Glen Wright from IDDRI to facilitate a session on enhancing the role of regions in global ocean assessments. The presentations and dialogue focused on lessons learned from the European Union and the First World Ocean Assessment, barriers and opportunities for regional involvement in global assessments, the application of assessments for sustainable pathways, the institutional landscape of global assessments, indicator and methodological standardization and knowledge co-production. In the closing plenary of the MRF, Alexander Müller of TMG and Sébastian Treyer of IDDRI highlighted four general perspectives that emerged from the dialogue sessions. These included; (1) the necessity for acknowledgement of different needs across regions and particularly in the case of vulnerable regions, (2) the growing importance of knowledge for action in the science-policy interface, (3) the need to break down global long-term goals into measurable actions that make stakeholders accountable and (4) the need for accelerating regional leadership and mutual learning across these regions. These key messages will be refined and sent to ‘relevant global and regional processes, including the 2020 UN Ocean Conference’ in Lisbon, Portugal.  ]]>

    Recent developments at Future Earth Coasts

    Blog post by IPO Germany A lot has happened in 2019: Future Earth Coasts announced a new hosting arrangement for its International Project Office (IPO) following 4 successful years of being hosted by the MaREI Centre for Marine and Renewable Energy, Environmental Research Institute, University College Cork. Distributed IPO Since January 2019 the IPO operates in a distributed structure, with the central IPO being hosted at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT), Germany, and additional branches located in the USA, Australia and China. We also have Regional Engagement Partners (REP) located in the United States (Louisiana); Latin and South America (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), Caribbean (Trinidad & Tobago), Canada (Newfoundland, covering the Arctic region), Europe (Algarve, Portugal), East Asia (Yantai, China), and South East Asia (Taiwan). Read more about our REPs here. With the handover from MaREI to ZMT, our Scientific Steering Committee was formally renamed and restructured into an Executive Committee, constituted of two Co-chairs, a Vice-Chair, and representatives of every IPO branch. In the future, the Executive Committee will be expanded to include a representative of the REPs as well as the new Advisory Board and FEC Academy (see below). Get to know the members of our Executive Committee here. To broaden our community even further we formally launched the Future Earth Coasts Academy in September with around 30 initial members, all of them alumni of FEC/LOICZ who served as members or chairs of the Scientific Steering Committee or worked for the IPO before. The FEC Academy is comprised of distinguished scientists and stakeholders, who will serve as FEC ambassadors and be responsible for FEC research development and outputs. Membership of the FEC Academy will be expanded over the coming years and is by invitation only. Find out more about the current members here. If you are a young researcher, practitioner or other coastal stakeholder and are interested in joining FEC, you can apply to become a FEC Fellow. Find out more about the benefits here. Another way to join the FEC Community is by affiliating yourself, your project or activity to us. We partner with individuals, programs, projects and organizations to contribute to our vision and research priorities and goals for engagement and capacity building. If you want to find out more about this, head over to Affiliated Activities. We look forward to expanding our community and contribute to the challenge of coastal sustainability in the time ahead!]]>

    "From the Source to the Sea – River-Sea Systems under Global Change"

    Session's description: This session provides a platform for cross-disciplinary science that addresses the continuum of the river and its catchment to the coastal sea. We invite studies across geographical borders; from the source to the sea including groundwater, and across the freshwater-marine water transition. The session welcomes studies that link environmental and social science, address the impacts of climate change and extreme events, and of human activities on water and sediment quality and quantity, hydromorphology, biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services of River-Sea systems, and that provide solutions for sustainable management of the River-Sea social-ecological system. We need to fully understand how River-Sea-Systems function. How are River-Sea-Systems changing due to human pressures? What is the impact of processes in the catchment on marine systems function, and vice versa? How can we discern between human-induced changes or those driven by natural processes from climate-induced variability? What will the tipping points of social-ecological system states be and what will they look like? How can we better characterise river-sea systems from the latest generation Earth observation to citizen science based observatories. How can we predict short and long term changes in River-Sea-Systems to manage them sustainably? What is the limit to which it is possible to predict the natural and human-influenced evolution of River-Sea-Systems? The increasing demand to jointly enable intensive human use and environmental protection in river-sea systems requires holistic and integrative research approaches with the ultimate goal of enhanced system understanding.

However, without water to sample, these dry phases are treated as effectively ‘zero’ in our understanding of stream carbon and nitrogen cycling. We are currently seeking two PhD students to help redress this knowledge gap for sub-tropical Australian streams. The candidates will focus on either the metabolism, methane production, or nitrous oxide cycling of intermittent streams. This work will involve combining techniques from terrestrial and aquatic sciences, and students will have the option to use both high-frequency field instruments and stable isotope (δ15N, δ18O, δ13C, Δ17O) techniques. The PhD scholarships will be based in the Centre for Coastal Biogeochemistry at Southern Cross University (Australia). Southern Cross University received the highest rank of 5.0 in the most recent national research excellence assessment. Candidates will work on a team lead by SCU researchers Prof Brad Eyre, Dr Naomi Wells, and Dr Judith Rosentreter, and Dr Alberto Borges (University of Liège, Belgium). There is a possibility of exchange visits with the University of Liège. Applicants must have an Honours or Master degree, undertaken in English, in a related field such as biogeochemistry, soil science, environmental chemistry, limnology, or closely related. The project will involve periods of intensive field measurements, laboratory work, and data processing. Experience with either large data sets or stable isotopes is preferred. Scholarships provide a tax-free annual stipend of $28,000 for 3 years (with a possible six-month extension), and a tuition fee waiver for international students. Interested applicants should send a CV and short (< 1 page) statement highlighting their research background and interests, with respect to the criteria above, to Dr Naomi Wells (naomi.wells@scu.edu.au). Only short-listed applicants will be notified. Closing date January 28, 2020. Starting date is flexible, but preferably by April 2020. Southern Cross University is based in Lismore, northern NSW, Australia. The region is a great place to live with a sub-tropical climate, some the best beaches and surfing in the world, plus great fishing, scuba diving and wilderness areas. The quality of life is high and the cost of living relatively low.

    Project Description

    Wetlands are among earth’s most efficient ecosystems for carbon sequestration, yet this capacity can be offset by emission of methane. Recent research indicates that wetland trees can be an important pathway for methane emissions in some systems (1). Various aspects of this pathway are largely unquantified and there are many dimensions that remain relatively unknown (2). Hence, this emerging topic has considerable scope for significant new discoveries (3). This project involves determining methane flux from freshwater wetland trees species and will employ cutting-edge techniques, including portable greenhouse gas analysers and use of isotopic signatures. Investigations will include exploring the spatial, temporal and seasonal CH4 dynamics of tree-stems with a view to furthering our understanding of key processes, drivers and their overall significance in methane budgets. We are offering an opportunity for an excellent PhD candidate to work with Professor Scott Johnston and Associate Professor Damien Maher on this innovative project that will explore tree-mediated methane emission in freshwater wetlands in Australia. The successful student would be part of a vibrant research group focusing on carbon cycling in wetland systems. Candidates will undertake / participate in both field-based investigations and controlled laboratory-based studies in Australian coastal wetland systems under varied seasonal conditions. Expressions of Interest are invited from outstanding and enthusiastic graduates with a first class honours degree or Masters degree or equivalent in Environmental Geochemistry. • The applicant’s qualifications should include experience studying environmental systems via field experiments, ideally with some experience using automated greenhouse gas analysers • Very high degree of proficiency in both written and spoken English (strict criteria apply for non-native English speakers). • Experience in collecting field data and capacity to undertake independent fieldwork. • The applicant’s academic background must be strong enough to qualify her/him for a scholarship, stipend and fee (tuition) waiver.

    Funding Notes

    Successful candidates will be offered a full-time PhD position and the project includes scholarship ($27,600 AUD pa), fee-waiver and an additional stipend to cover research costs of up to $5000 AUD pa will be available. Contingent on satisfactory performance, this will be extended to a total period of 3 years. Applications must include a CV, academic grade transcripts, copies of previous research outputs and a cover letter outlining a summary of your research experience, your reasons for wanting to do a PhD and information on how your skills will be relevant to the project.

    Ensuring a vibrant and thriving coastal zone is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Today, 60 percent of Virginia’s 8 million people live in the coastal zone. By 2045, the commonwealth’s population is projected to exceed 10 million people, with about 80 percent of Virginians living at the coast. Accelerating sea-level rise, coastal hazards, and ocean acidification threaten livelihoods, health, and fish and wildlife species throughout the commonwealth and the world. At the same time, rapid economic development presents an opportunity in the face of these challenges. “The cascading impacts of these stressors represent a formidable problem that can only be addressed by coordinated investment in research, teaching, outreach, and creating a community of action," said Robert Weiss, director of the newly formed Center for Coastal Studies and professor of natural hazards in the Department of Geosciences in the College of Science. "This coordination is part of the Center for Coastal Studies’ mission to nurture coastal-zone related research and education and to create a better understanding of the processes that govern complex issues regarding sustainable solutions in the coastal zone.”

    Following the launch of the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC) on the 25th of September 2019 (https://www.ipcc.ch/srocc/), much of my attention has been focused on providing advice about the challenge of responding to rising sea levels – given my role as Coordinating Lead Author of the SROCC chapter on sea-level rise. More recently, I participated in the IPCC’s Working Group II’s Third Lead Author Meeting in Faro, Portugal. My responsibilities include Lead Author on the chapter on climate resilient development pathways, and Lead on the Cross Chapter Paper on Cities and Settlements by the sea. While I was in Faro, I met with Prof. Alice Newton (U. of Algarve) – former Chair of the LOICZ Scientific Steering Committee. We discussed the upcoming Future Earth Coasts conference and the important contributions we anticipate from the new generation of coastal scholars being trained through the Master in Water and Coastal Management (WACOMA) that was developed under LOICZ. With 22 students from 17 nationalities, we feel that our coastal futures are in good hands!

ClimEco summer schools are designed for 60-70 post-graduate marine science students and early career researchers and are led by an interdisciplinary group of scientists, which includes leaders in their respective fields. When and where ClimEco7 will be held at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada from 17-21 August 2020 Who can apply Post-graduate students and early career researchers from any oceans science discipline and any country in the world! Focus of ClimEco7 Spanning more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, the ocean is home to some of the most critical ecosystems on the planet. The ocean also supports the livelihoods, food security and cultural wellbeing of hundreds of millions of people. Yet, our oceans are under threat. Oceans are becoming hotter, more acidic, less biodiverse and losing oxygen. Given these challenges, interdisciplinary ocean science is needed to generate rigorous data, conclusions and projections that can inform effective ocean governance, shape ‘blue’ sustainable development initiatives, and support social-ecological sustainability. Indeed, the upcoming UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) aims to provide “the science we need, for the ocean we want”. To this end, the ClimEco7 Summer School aims to foster excellence in interdisciplinary ocean science. Drawing on the expertise of lecturers from the natural, social and economic sciences, participants will develop a strong theoretical and applied understanding of interdisciplinary ocean science. To complement the theoretical content, participants will also gain practical skills through a variety of interactive workshops. Application Deadline 9 March 2020

The position will be held at Dalhousie University in Halifax and will be co-supervised by Drs. Melanie Zurba (School for Resource and Environmental Studies and the College of Sustainability), Eric Oliver (Department of Oceanography) and Megan Bailey (Marine Affairs). The anticipated start date for the position is August 1, 2020. The Nunatsiavut Futures research project spans the natural and social sciences under the overarching goal of developing partnerships between academics and Indigenous communities to inform sustainable resource management of coastal systems in Canada’s North. Our project is structured as three research themes which (A) develop empirical understandings of dynamic coastal systems and (B) plan for changes in these dynamics through (C) transdisciplinary research and knowledge co-production with a wide range of partners. Understanding and predicting change within these locally, regionally and globally significant ecosystems requires the co-development of research objectives and approaches. To accomplish this objective, the overarching project will design and execute field efforts that integrate community-engaged knowledge and monitoring with novel western science and modelling. We will use knowledge from this project to inform and support decision-making on spatial planning and resource management to provide the foundation for long-term monitoring and risk assessments of key species and habitats. Individuals involved in this research are committed to collaborating with partners across disciplines and in local communities. Project members will centralize knowledge co-production processes to ensure that the research design, methods, and use of results transcend scientific disciplines and diverse cultures. Project members will work closely with Inuit community members and representatives in Nunatsiavut and have an interest in both community and academic engagement. The PDF will have a PhD in fisheries, marine management, resource economics, environmental studies, biology, oceanography, or similar, and have experience in interdisciplinary work and collaboration, with an aptitude in both social and natural sciences. The PDF will play a key role in research and will also assist with the coordination of the project logistics. The focus of the PDF research will be the development and implementation of frameworks for knowledge co-production involving diverse knowledge systems, including western-scientific and Inuit knowledge. It is likely that the position will include travel between Dalhousie University and communities in Nunatsiavut. Applicants should send a cover letter, CV and short statement (1-2 page) of research interest to Drs. Melanie Zurba (Melanie.Zurba@dal.ca), Eric Oliver (Eric.Oliver@dal.ca) and Megan Bailey (Megan.Bailey@dal.ca) by June 1, 2020.

While Future Earth Coasts joins others in celebrating this special day, this year it is also time for us to reflect as individuals, as citizens and as members of a global community. This has been a strange year worldwide when a Pandemic has pushed all other thoughts from our minds. The 2020 United Nation World Ocean Conference was to be held in Lisbon 2-6 June but has been postponed. The second World Ocean Assessment (1), to be delivered in December 2020, focuses on establishing trends in the marine environment with relevance to global reporting needs, such as those associated with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (2). Meanwhile, our oceans, seas, and particularly coasts are coming under increasing pressures, for example from pollution, from climate change, from urbanisation and habitat modification, from increased resource use and de-oxygenation (3). Marine and coastal ecosystems, such as coral reefs, are collapsing and marine species, from polar bears to sharks and whales, are under threat. Large areas are now 'dead zones'. 2021 will see the beginning of a UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable development (4), a rallying call to scientists to come together and not only study problems but find solutions. So, what are the scientific challenges (5)? They include (i) understanding of the interaction among diversity and ecosystem processes, structure and function; (ii) ecosystem shifts, biodiversity and habitat loss; (iii) restoration; (iv) sustainability strategies for human activities in the ocean, including the assessment of ocean health; (v) cumulative human impacts and climate change, as drivers of shifts; and (vi) marine conservation. Scientists can propose options for management and governance but need societal leaders to take action and make the decisions, commit to implementing these and result in positive changes. Major challenges of governance and social priorities (5) include: (i) meeting UN Sustainable Development Goals, (ii) new methods into decision support tools for policy frameworks, (iii) climate-ready Marine Spatial Planning and MPAs, (iv) transnational observation strategies, (v) engaging society more effectively in ocean and coastal science, and (vi) the role of fake news. To be successful and sustainable, solutions to tackle the challenges oceans and coasts are facing need to cover multiple aspects (3) – among others, they need to be (i) ecologically sustainable, (ii) economically viable, (iii) socially desirable, (iv) ethically defensible, and (v) culturally inclusive. Future Earth Coasts continues its commitment to working with coastal scientists from various disciplines and engaging with society for partnerships at the science-society-policy nexus to effectively address the challenges facing our coasts, and sends best wishes to all marine scientists and lovers of the sea on the occasion of the 2020 Day of the Oceans.   References (1) Evans, K., Chiba, S., Garcia-Soto, C., Bebianno, M., Ojaveer, H., Park, C., Ruwa, R., Simcock, A.J., Thanh, C. and Zielinski, T., 2019.

In what feels like simpler times, perhaps even several lifetimes ago, there once was a workshop …. The Ocean Sciences Meeting, co-sponsored by the American Geophysical Union, the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, and The Oceanography Society, held in San Diego from 16-20 February 2020 set the scene for the third in an on-going series of workshops by the Catching a Wave Collaborative[1]. This is how we workshop Catching a Wave (CaW), an initiative that started while the FEC IPO was based at MaREI, ERI at University College Cork, brings together artists and physical and social scientists with communication and engagement specialists to galvanize change by creating discussion spaces around ocean and coastal health with multiple audiences.  The workshops act as catalysts for shifting individual and collective mind-sets toward action for more sustainable oceans and coasts and the people who live, work, and interact within these spaces.

The outcomes from Society and the Sea informed a second iteration implemented during the Art in the Anthropocene (AiA) Conference in 2019 (here’s the blog link).  

    Questioning our art-science approach

    So finally to our third workshop that took place at the 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting and as part of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development activities. Art-science collaborations are not new but there are barriers and challenges to this transdisciplinary model of working, not least in finding a common language, gelling methods of practice and maintaining communication. Continual self-reflection has become a common exercise for the CaW team. This workshop gave us a real opportunity to reflect on past discussions and feedback from different events and how an integrated art-science approach may resonate, or not, with a more predominately biophysical scientist audience. In addition, we wanted to think about, and critically discuss, how we were working in collaboration. Engaging our workshop audience around both of  these themes created space for a myriad of questions including how early career scientists might engage in art-science practice, how art-science projects can be evaluated, and if there was a possibility of building an international network of interested practitioners.

    How to measure what we do?

    The evaluation conundrum is one we have been wrestling with since we initiated CaW. Quantitative methods (e.g. visitor numbers at art exhibitions, number of article citations) do not provide the data needed to determine the value and benefit of aesthetic engagement, while conventional qualitative evaluations are insufficient because they do not assess value beyond their disciplinary value structures. We would like to use this as a call for broader engagement of scholars of all shapes and sizes in this debate. As true advocates for transdisciplinary approaches that provide us with (i) the ability to engage diverse publics and (ii) the ability to ‘do’ social, cultural and political work, we must find a way of actively evaluating the impact this work is having as far as catalysing behaviour change and creating knowledge for society. If this is a discussion you would like to contribute to or be involved in please do contact us at catchawave18@gmail.com so we can keep you informed of possibilities to engage.

    Connecting us all through The Planetary Wave Project

    [caption id="attachment_11331" align="alignright" width="197"] Mini wavelets and postcards were handed out to all OSM workshop participants.[/caption] We handed out a mini wavelet to all of our workshop participants as well as to several other attendees at the OSM meeting. These wavelets did, however, come with responsibilities and were distributed with postcards detailing a virtual installation - The Planetary Wave Project - that we are developing to connect all the wavelets and people who have them.   Over to you If you were given one at the OSM or at a previous CaW workshop, please send us a picture of either (i) you and your wavelet along with your name & the location of where the photo is taken (city/town/village and country) or (ii) simply a picture of your wavelet in an iconic, picturesque or meaningful to you landscape to catchawave18@gmail.com. All the images we receive will be uploaded into a grid to form a virtual installation demonstrating the scope and breadth of the connection to ocean and coastal spaces we all have. In a time when social and racial inequalities are being highlighted across the world, and exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, we are determined to celebrate diversity of thought, identity, culture and place. If you have a wavelet, please help us realise this determination.

I am also an Adjunct Professor at Brock University (Canada), an Adjunct Professor at Southern Cross University (Australia), and a Senior Research Associate at Uppsala University (Sweden). Prior to accepting the Fellowship, I was the Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Business and Law, and before that was the Director of the Sustainability Research Centre. I have also worked at the CSIRO, government, and several other universities on coastal issues, and undertaken research projects in more than 10 countries over the past 25 years. I am on the Steering Committee of Future Earth Australia and co-Editor-in-Chief for the preeminent journal Ocean and Coastal Management. I bring experience of coastal research and management from several contexts, and experience in strategic planning and management of organisations and networks. [caption id="attachment_11341" align="alignright" width="165"] Mike Elliott, vice chair elect[/caption] Mike Elliott: I am the Professor of Estuarine and Coastal Sciences at the University of Hull, UK and I was Director of the former Institute of Estuarine & Coastal Studies (IECS) from 1996-2017; I am also the Director of International Estuarine & Coastal Specialists (IECS) Ltd. I am a marine biologist with a wide experience and interests and my teaching, research, advisory and consultancy includes estuarine and marine ecology, policy, governance and management. I have published widely, co-authoring/co-editing 18 books/proceedings and around 300 scientific publications. This includes co-authoring 'The Estuarine Ecosystem: ecology, threats and management' (with DS McLusky, OUP, 2004), 'Ecology of Marine Sediments: science to management' (with JS Gray, OUP, 2009), and ‘Estuarine Ecohydrology: an introduction’ (with E Wolanski, Elsevier, 2015). I was one of the Editors of the ‘Coasts and Estuaries: the Future’ (Wolanski, Day, Elliott and Ramachandran; Elsevier, 2019) and the Treatise on Estuarine & Coastal Science (Eds.-In-Chief - E Wolanski & DS McLusky, Elsevier). I have advised on many environmental matters for academia, industry, government and statutory bodies worldwide. I am a past-President of the international Estuarine & Coastal Sciences Association (ECSA) and a Co-Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Estuarine, Coastal & Shelf Science. I have had Adjunct Professor and Research positions various universities, was awarded Laureate of the Honorary Winberg Medal 2014 of the Russian Hydrobiological Academic Society, and also I am a member of many national and international committees linking marine science to policy. Given all of these activities, I am able to spread the word about FEC and act as a conduit from these activities to FEC and vice versa. In this way, I can give FEC a greater visibility in many spheres as it deserves. I would especially look out for opportunities to enhance the reputation and reach of FEC – for example, the ECSA58-EMECS13 symposium that we are organising in September 2021.  

    What do you envision for FEC?

    Tim: My vision for FEC is a thriving global community of coastal scholars, practitioners and decision makers, working to collectively create a resilient future for our coastal social-ecological systems. I would like to establish FEC as the leading voice for coastal matters globally. Purvaja: My desire is to further contribute to the thematic pillars of FEC to achieve pathways to coastal sustainability.  It will be my endeavor to integrate and deepen our current understanding of physical, ecological and social dynamics of the coast, by developing indicators, frameworks and guidelines, and uphold FEC’s legacy as the scientific voice of coastal management globally.  It will also be important for me to encourage young researchers around the world to bring in local knowledge and for them to learn from the great diversity of scholars within the FEC. Mike: I aim and envisage that FEC should become the dominant forum and association dealing with coastal affairs and bringing together the coastal community. It then needs to capitalise on those links and expertise by being a source of published and on-line material that informs and educates. It needs to work with similar associations and like-minded colleagues, for example those in IMBER, ECSA and CERF. FEC should also encourage young and early career researchers and allow them to benefit with interaction from more experienced scientists and practitioners. I fully understand all of the current and future challenges facing the coasts and wetlands worldwide such as what we have recently called the ‘triple whammy’ facing coasts – of increased industrialisation and urbanisation, of increased use of resources such as space, energy and water, and the reduced resistance and resilience to climate change effects. FEC has a major role in increasing the awareness of these aspects globally.  

    What are the main areas/activities that you would like to focus on during your tenure?

    Mike: Having been at several FEC meetings and workshops and long been familiar with the work and activities of FEC, I realise that those involved with it need to have a wide perspective and be familiar with many fields, both in the natural and social sciences. I want to ensure that FEC can build on its history and also ensure that the FEC meetings and workshops do truly bring together the various disciplines as equal partners and also get more social scientists familiar with natural science and vice versa. It is particularly pleasing that FEC has a wide international reach and network. This is important to show both the similarities and differences of coastal features and challenges worldwide. We need to increase our activities in this area, and especially to ensure that the Global South can learn from the developed countries while acknowledging the cultural differences in studying, assessing and managing coasts worldwide. As such, I aim that there should be workshops and sessions at the FEC meetings on these aspects in order to increase knowledge exchange. I also want to help FEC cope with the increasingly-difficult research funding environment, made even worse because of the COVID19 pandemic. Finally, there are many recent and upcoming initiatives in marine and coastal science and management, such as the UN Decades of Oceans and of Ecological Restoration, of the 2nd World Oceans Assessment, and of the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development goals and others. We need to work together to ensure that FEC has a role and impact in these initiatives for the benefits of the global coasts. Purvaja: Future Earth Coasts is a highly renowned scientific body addressing complex coastal challenges, with its eminent legacy of Chairs, Current Co-chairs, Executive Directors, Members and the Regional Engagement Partners. The three inter related thematic areas of Dynamic coasts, Human development and coasts and Pathways to coastal sustainability are engrained as FEC’s flagship themes. Building on these, I would like to specifically focus on developing knowledge benchmarks, enhancing scientific outreach, and strengthening the science-policy links through partnerships, collaborations, capacity building and networking.  It is also crucial for FEC to spear through its global scientific knowledge for use at the local level, enabling implementation of good practices for improved coastal resilience and sustainability. Tim: I would like to build on the outstanding legacy of FEC (and formerly LOICZ) over more than two decades that has been possible through the dedication of many brilliant people (several of who I know well and have great respect for, including our outgoing co-Chairs Bruce and Val, and former FEC Director Martin Le Tissier). FEC has entered an exciting phase through a distributed International Project Office model, which has the potential to greatly influence research, policy and practice. My areas of focus will be on developing the FEC community and influence through expansion of the FEC membership (e.g. Fellows, Academy, and early career researchers and practitioners); identifying, brokering and contributing to knowledge partnerships and projects; and promoting FEC as widely as possible.

     

    We look forward to working with Purvaja, Tim and Mike in the coming years!

Researchers from the FEC community are playing key roles in at least three of these consortia. After delays due to Covid-19, these projects are now getting underway. Coastal Ocean Assessment for Sustainability and Transformation (COAST Card) is led by Bill Dennison (USA), member of the FEC Academy, with Heath Kelsey (FEC Executive Committee) and a team of researchers who are world leaders in the development and application of coastal report cards. Negotiating Ocean Conflicts among RIvals for Sustainable and Equitable Solutions (NO CRISES) is led by Ingrid van Putten (Australia), IMBeR SSC, with a team of researchers that includes Marion Glaser (Germany) who is a member of the FEC Academy, and IMBeR SSC Vice-chair. Ocean Sustainability Pathways for Achieving Coastal Transformation (OCEANS PACT) is led by Michael Gilek (Sweden), together with Bruce Glavovic (Co-Chair, FEC) and Merle Sowman (FEC Academy), and researchers from Sweden, Norway, India, South Africa, Brazil and the USA.   OCEANS PACT focuses on ways to realize the ‘productive potential’ of ocean conflict. Marine conflicts are pervasive. Unresolved conflicts can have massively destructive consequences that hamper efforts to advance ocean sustainability. Such conflicts are often rooted in struggles over ownership, rights, benefits and human-nature relationships on our Blue Planet. This project aims to deepen understanding about real-world ocean conflicts through collaboration research teams that include stakeholder partners, social and natural scientists, and conflict resolution experts. Case study conflicts traverse the Global North and South, in South Africa, India, Brazil, Norway/Barents Sea, Baltic Sea and United States. A key focus is examining how formal interventions, e.g., law, and informal practices, e.g., negotiation, can be harnessed to unlock the transformative potential of ocean conflict resolution. For more information please go to the project website. As changes in climate, population, pollution, and consumption patterns place coastal ecosystems and communities at increasing risk, a new set of innovative and transformative tools is needed to lead to coastal and ocean sustainability. UMCES (USA IPO) will be leading a four year international collaboration called “Coastal Ocean Assessment for Sustainability and Transformation (COAST Card),” which will develop report cards in Chesapeake Bay USA, Manila Bay Philippines, Tokyo Bay Japan, and the Goa coast of India. The project is funded through the Belmont Forum, an international partnership that mobilizes funding of transdisciplinary environmental change research from over two dozen counties in an effort to remove critical barriers to sustainability. The diverse team assembled to undertake this project from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (USA), University of the Philippines (Philippines), University of Bergen (Norway), Tokyo Institute of Technology (Japan), and National Institute of Oceanography (India) will develop a training program and framework for coastal regions around the world. For more information please go to the project website.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA). The coast is one of the most significant unifying habitats in the region. It is imperative to build the resilience of coastal communities around the world, and in the Arctic and northern periphery in particular. The project will provide a roadmap for protecting, promoting and developing the cultural and natural heritage of sparsely populated and remote coastal communities. Local authorities play a pivotal role in enabling resilience building and coastal sustainability. The project will produce a COAST Toolbox for local authorities, focusing on SMART Blue Growth, which is based on principles of sustainability, mitigation, planning, adaptation, resilience and transition. COAST-project seeks to establish the NPA region as a demonstration of how to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the coast. The project brings together five partners and six associate partners from Iceland, Finland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. The approach includes four demonstration cases, addressing the challenges of sparsely populated, remote coastal communities. Each case is strongly supported through the partners, associates and letters of support, to ensure effective delivery and implementation at the local authority level. COAST applies a three step conceptual framework called Our Coastal Futures, designed to: i) Enable regional stakeholders and institutions to develop a common understanding of future coastal scenarios; ii) Craft robust strategies for charting a desired coastal future; and iii) Create mechanism to achieve these desired outputs COAST is affiliated to Future Earth Coasts with Sarah Kandrot (FEC Fellow) as project partner and Valerie Cummins (FEC co-chair) as associate partner.

Starting with ourselves, many of us want to live near the coast and our dreamed travel list is full of coastal destinations with crystal clear waters.  Economically, the tourism and maritime transport industries employ many people in countries such as Spain. Bio-based materials and components made from oceans’ species provide solutions from packaging to vaccines. Coastal zones are also the habitat of an incredible biodiversity. At the same time, increasing challenges threat the health of our coasts and its species, whether these are connected to the overexploitation of resources, pollution, or climate change effects. With such diversity of interests and challenges, that often overlap, how to understand and manage effectively coastal zones and all the ecosystem services we benefit from? To address this challenge, the Circles of Costal Sustainability (CCS) framework was created, linking and identifying the key elements that influence environmental sustainability and human wellbeing. It presents a holistic assessment of four interdependent boundary domains: Environment and Ecology, Social and Cultural, Economics, and Governance and Policy. This approach improves its utility and usability for decision-makers and researchers and can be applied in different regions and scales. The CCS was developed in collaboration with Future Earth Coasts, as part of the master’s research of FEC’s former intern and Erasmus Mundus in Water and Coastal Management alumni  Natália Alencar, supervised by Dr Martin Le Tissier, Dr Shona Paterson and Dr Alice Newton.

    Our partners at GEO Blue Planet shared the news about a new study team dedicated to coastal observation. Read all about it in a guest blog here:


    The CEOS Coastal Observations and Applications Study Team (COAST) 

    What is COAST and what will it do? The CEOS Coastal Observation and Application Study Team (COAST) will identify how CEOS data can be leveraged and exploited to support coastal zone stakeholders and benefit society.  COAST engaged diverse users early on to co-design and co-develop activities bridging CEOS land and aquatic observations, enabling integration of multiple entities and domains, both thematic and technical (e.g., interoperability and analysis ready data for both land and oceans). Focusing on the user-driven value chain, CEOS-COAST identified two initial pilot projects, the first looking at sea impacts to land (flooding and inundation) and then reciprocal land impacts to sea (land cover/use changes and water quality issues, such as coastal eutrophication). The initial focus is environmental data set integration, with a longer-term goal of effective integration with social science data. Why Now? An increased global focus on coastal zones reflects its importance, both environmentally and socio-economically. Coastal populations reap the benefits of these highly productive ecosystems (e.g., fisheries, port operations) but are threatened by environmental hazards and disasters (e.g., flooding, inundation) as well as anthropogenic impacts to ecosystem health and function (e.g., eutrophication, hypoxia). Furthermore, the importance of coastal zones and relevance to societal interests and needs was recognized in global initiatives including the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Why CEOS? Observing coastal zones is challenging. They are complex, dynamic regions characterized by small-scale, episodic and/or ephemeral events.  Satellite observations are mature now with routine and sustained high quality, high resolution measurements, and well-suited to address changes in time and space across the land-sea interface, from local to global scales. New and improved satellite sensors, product development (merged and blended products) and increasingly sophisticated data processing, discovery and distribution approaches (e.g., cloud-based, machine learning) make CEOS the unique entity to focus coordinated space agency efforts on COAST pilot projects. Who is in COAST and what will be the benefits?  Representation from all CEOS Working Groups, multiple Virtual Constellations (terrestrial and aquatic), agencies and associate partners, and the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Blue Planet and AquaWatch Initiatives comprise the COAST Study Team.  Broadening utilization of Earth Observations within coastal zones for greater societal benefits enables CEOS to engage external stakeholders such as GEO, IOC/GOOS, UN Environment and high visibility activities such as the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) to provide effective management solutions  to address compelling challenges such as cross-parameter, trans-boundary and trans-disciplinary data integration.  A high priority outcome is to create, demonstrate and transfer satellite applications and required tools and technical infrastructure across the globe, particularly for developing nations, which minimize disaster impact, support coastal sustainable development and maintain healthy ecosystems while enhancing the Blue Economy.

(ver la versión en español a continuación) Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals: •       Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development •       Target 14.2: By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans  

    Remote Sensing of Coastal Ecosystems

    Coastal and marine ecosystems serve key roles for carbon storage, nutrients and materials cycling, as well as reservoirs of biodiversity. They also provide ecosystems services such as sustenance for millions of people, coastal protection against wave action, and recreational activities. Remote sensing of coastal and marine ecosystems is particularly challenging. Up to 90% of the signal received by the sensors in orbit comes from the atmosphere. Additionally, dissolved and suspended constituents in the water column attenuate most of the light received through absorption or scattering. When it comes to retrieving information about shallow water ecosystems, even in the clearest waters under the clearest skies, less than 10% of the signal originates from the water and its bottom surface. Users, particularly those with little remote sensing experience, stand to benefit from this training covering some of the difficulties associated with remote sensing of coastal ecosystems, particularly beaches and benthic communities such as coral reefs and seagrass. Course Dates: August 25, September 1, and 8, 2020 Times and Registration Information:  English Session: 11:00-12:00 EDT (UTC-4): https://go.nasa.gov/3iKxYGs Spanish Session: 14:00-15:00 EDT (UTC-4): https://go.nasa.gov/3iHVgMV Learning Objectives: By the end of this training, attendees will be able to:
    • Identify the different water column components and how they affect the remote sensing signal of shallow-water ecosystems
    • Outline existing satellite sensors used for ocean color and shallow-water ecosystem characterization
    • Understand the interaction between water constituents, the electromagnetic spectrum, and the remote sensing signal
    • Recognize the different processes used to remove the water column attenuation from the remotely-sensed signal to characterize benthic components
    • Summarize techniques for characterizing shoreline beach environments with remotely-sensed data and field methods for beach profiling
    Audience: Local, regional, state, federal, and non-governmental environmental managers, researchers, and students. Course Format: Three, 1-hour parts Retweet option: https://twitter.com/NASAARSET/status/1282705000628662272

Además, proveen servicios ecosistémicos tales como comida para millones de personas, protección costera contra el oleaje, y actividades recreativas. La teledetección de los ecosistemas costeros y marinos es particularmente difícil. Hasta el 80% de la señal recibida por los sensores en órbita proviene de la atmósfera. Además, los componentes de la columna de agua (disueltos y suspendidos) atenúan la mayor parte de la luz mediante absorción o dispersión. Cuando se trata de recuperar información del fondo del océano, incluso en las aguas más claras, solo menos del 10% de la señal proviene de el fondo marino. Los usuarios, particularmente aquellos con poca experiencia en teledetección, pueden beneficiarse de esta capacitación que cubre algunas de las dificultades asociadas con la teledetección de ecosistemas costeros, particularmente playas y comunidades bentónicas tales como arrecifes de coral y yerbas marinas.

    ARCTIC POLICY: EU OPENS CONSULTATION ON FUTURE APPROACH

    World Ocean Council Encourages Participation in Public Consultation on the Way Forward for the European Union’s Arctic Policy

    On 20 July 2020 the European Commission and the European External Action Service jointly launched a public consultation on the way forward for the European Union's Arctic policy. The consultation will enable a broad reflection of the EU's Arctic policy in the face of new challenges and opportunities, including the EU's ambitions under the European Green Deal. The consultation seeks input on the strengths and shortfalls of the existing policy, with a view to possibly preparing an updated approach. High Representative/Vice-President Josep Borrell said, “The Arctic is a rapidly evolving frontier in international relations. Climate change is dramatically transforming the region and increasing its geopolitical importance, with a number of players seeing new strategic and economic opportunities in the High North. We must ensure that the Arctic remains a zone of low tension and peaceful cooperation, where issues are solved through constructive dialogue. The European Union must be fully equipped to manage the new dynamics effectively, in line with our interests and values.” Virginijus Sinkevičius, Commissioner for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries stated, “What happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic. It concerns us all. The EU must be at the forefront with a clear and coherent Arctic policy to tackle the challenges in the years ahead. Drawing on a wide spectrum of expertise and opinions through this consultation will help us in preparing a strong strategy for the region.” The consultation will help to: • Re-examine the role of the EU in Arctic affairs; • Revise the three priorities of the current Joint Communication on An integrated European Union policy for the Arctic, and the actions thereunder; and • Identify possible new policy areas to be developed. The World Ocean Council (WOC) is a working partner of the Horizon 2020 ARICE (Arctic Research Icebreaker Consortium), EU-PolarNet and Blue-Action projects working to facilitate regular and sustained interaction between the Arctic science community and industry, and ensuring the private sector is engaged and heard as a key stakeholder. We encourage industry representatives (in particular private sector members of the WOC) to seize the opportunity to offer feedback as part of the newly launched public consultation. - - - Read more in this press release by the European Commission.]]>

The Our Knowledge, Our Way guidelines were launched on July 30 at an online event to more than 1,100 people. The guidelines identify ways that partners can support good knowledge practice, for example, through strong partnership agreements, support for cultural governance arrangements, and protocols. Since the launch, the guidelines have been greeted with applause by key partners and contributors. “Filling a large gap in the research world”: the response to the guidelines “The vibe of the launch was positive, and since then we’ve seen deadly positivity on social media for the resource: it is seen as filling a large gap in the research world. The guidelines provide an opportunity to educate willing researchers, whether early career or established, as a guide to engage and understand why Caring for Country is so important to Indigenous people.” Brad Moggridge, Associate Professor in Indigenous Water Science at the University of Canberra. “These guidelines better value and strengthen Indigenous knowledge holders and the systems that need to be in place to protect Traditional knowledge, in a platform that can be readily accessed by the researchers and the broader community.” Ricky Archer, CEO of North Australian Indigenous Land and Sea Management Alliance (NAILSMA). “What I enjoyed the most about the launch was the opportunity to share the platform with other such strong, passionate and committed Indigenous leaders, sharing our own story, knowledge and wisdom in our way.” Torres Webb, Cultural Capability Advisor at CSIRO. “These guidelines address the growing need for practical advice for researchers and policy makers. Knowing that these guidelines came from an Indigenous-led process gives great confidence in the advice, and the case studies demonstrate a diverse range of approaches, contexts and outcomes.” Michael Douglas, Professor and leader of the Australian Government’s National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Northern Australia Environmental Resources Hub.

(From an article by Nick Lavars on newsatlas.com*) With our long history of altering the environment through manmade structures, we humans sure have made our mark on the Earth in our relatively short time here. Scientists in Australia have turned their attention to what this perpetual development means for the world’s marine environments, calculating the extent of our construction footprint on the oceans for the first time ever. The research was carried out at Australia’s University of Sydney and the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, with the team collating data on marine-built structures of all kinds. These include oil rigs, wind farms, the length of telecommunication cables, commercial ports, bridges and tunnels, artificial reefs and aquaculture farms, with the data painstakingly sourced from the individual sectors of these different industries.

The result is what the scientists call the first map of human development in the world’s oceans, revealing how much of the marine environment had been altered by our activity. According to the team, a total of around 30,000 sq km (11,600 sq mi) has been modified by human construction, which amounts to 0.008 percent of the entire ocean. But as lead author Dr Ana Bugnot explains, the effects are a lot more far-reaching than that.
“The effects of built structures extend beyond their direct physical footprint,” she tells New Atlas. “Marine construction can modify surrounding environments by changing ecological and sediment characteristics, water quality and hydrodynamics, as well as noise and electromagnetic fields.” Dr Bugnot and her team drew on existing data and research to quantify the impact of these types of flow-on effects, and found that the footprint of these structures is actually two million square kilometers (770,200 sq mi), more than 0.5 percent of the ocean as a whole. Among the more surprising revelations from the analysis were that 40 percent of the physical footprint of all structures can be attributed to aquaculture farms in China, and that noise pollution can carry up to 20 km (12 mi) from commercial ports.

WIOMSA and the Nairobi Convention have jointly produced two issues of the WIOMSA Magazine focusing on restoring damaged coastal ecosystems. The publication of this issue of the Magazine in 2020 is quite timely, coinciding with the start of the decade of ecosystem for which the United Nations has unequivocally reaffirmed that “restoring damaged ecosystems is an efficient and cost-effective way people can work with nature to address the most pressing challenges humanity is facing today”. The case studies documented in Part 1 of this series showcase how much restoration work has been undertaken across the WIO Region in both the mainland and the Island states. From many of these case studies, bold lessons have been learnt for sharing within and even outside the region.These lessons include the adoption of innovative technologies. For example, in Seychelles the coral gardening technique is being applied at a scale not attempted anywhere else in the world and in Mozambique, hydrological restoration has been found to be more successful than the direct planting of mangroves, with Mother Nature helping with the restoration effort. The stories highlight some inspiring benefits of the restoration projects including an increase in fish abundance and the income of people living in a village in Kenya; an increase in tourist numbers at a restored coral lagoon in Zanzibar; and carbon credits that generate a combined income of USD 45 000 per year for communities involved in the world pioneering Mikoko Pamoja mangrove project on the southern coast of Kenya. Issue 11 features stories from projects implemented in the Seychelles, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania and Madagascar.

While much research attention has been placed on the role and capacity of governance authorities in responding to climate challenges on the coast, coastal residents who are key actors in the adaptation process are less frequently addressed.

Article by Bruce Glavovic, Co-Chair of FEC

Bruce Glavovic, our Co-Chair, wrote an opinion piece for stuff.co.nz, a New Zealand news outlet, about  the current pandemic and other ongoing crises our world has to cope with these days - and it’s implication for future decisions.
This environmental crisis, of which climate change is the poster-child, is rooted in a pervasive and fallacious belief in unfettered economic growth and the supposed miracle-working powers of the ‘free market’. The discipline of economics long ago exposed the logical impossibility of unchecked growth on a finite planet. It has also documented the ways in which post-industrial development has fueled staggering levels of poverty, injustice and inequity. Covid-19 compounds this humanitarian crisis and the associated and tightly-coupled environmental crisis. We now have an opportunity to pivot the trajectory of development towards pathways that meet basic needs, foster human well-being, enable equity and justice, and respect the limits and intrinsic value of the natural world. This is the essence of the Sustainable Development Goals. Our recovery choices therefore transcend the pandemic per se.

<![CDATA[The Globalization of Cultural Eutrophication in the Coastal Ocean: Causes and Consequences]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/the-globalization-of-cultural-eutrophication-in-the-coastal-ocean-causes-and-consequences/ Sat, 03 Oct 2020 08:00:59 +0000 https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=11757 The Globalization of Cultural Eutrophication in the Coastal Ocean: Causes and Consequences Excessive nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, have devastating effects on coastal marine ecosystems by causing algal blooms that deplete oxygen in the water, killing marine life. Such nutrients can enter the sea in wastewater or run-off from agricultural land. However, a new review in open-access journal Frontiers in Marine Science highlights that problems caused by other human activities, such as climate change, can exacerbate these detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. The review suggests that an integrated approach considering land use, ecology and input from scientists, politicians and the public is required to defeat this terrible synergy.
"The threats posed by eutrophication include reduced water clarity, oxygen depletion, and toxic algal events that result in critical habitat losses such as coral reefs, seagrass meadows, and mangrove forests," said Professor Thomas Malone of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science. "Other serious consequences include mass mortalities of marine animals, loss of biodiversity, and threats to human health."1

<![CDATA[Scott Dallimore and his team completed a UNEP GRIDA Rapid Resource Assessment on coastal and offshore permafrost in the Arctic]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/coastal-and-offshore-permafrost-rapid-response-assessment/ Wed, 28 Oct 2020 09:00:49 +0000 https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=11793 Our Partners at PerCS-Net just shared exciting news with us: Recently Scott Dallimore and his team completed a UNEP GRIDA Rapid Resource Assessment on coastal and offshore permafrost in the Arctic. The RRA resulted in a comprehensive education and outreach resource aimed at raising awareness about the importance of coastal and offshore permafrost and to identify urgent geoscience research needs.   The Coastal and Offshore Permafrost Rapid Response Assessment (RRA) focuses primarily on areas of western North America where there is extensive offshore permafrost and retreating coastal areas. However, the findings extend to other parts of the Arctic as well. Along with the science, the RRA considers the perspectives of Arctic peoples on the coastal permafrost issues that they struggle with on a daily basis and the concerns that they have for the future. Discussions with the residents of communities in the western Canadian Arctic were influential in focusing the scope of the RRA. The RRA is organized as a collection of three ESRI StoryMaps. The two main story maps summarize the science, issues of concern identified by Arctic peoples, and policy considerations. We have also created a community space as a crowdsource storymap where people can share their observations and experiences about coastal permafrost issues.

This week is the last TESS seminar of the semester and for 2020. We hope you enjoyed the series so far and thank you for being supportive even under recent clouds. So, last but certainly not least, we are excited to hear from Prof Wolanski talking on:

 Oceanographic chaos and its role in the connectivity in Micronesia, the Galapagos, the South China Sea, and the Coral Sea-Great Barrier Reef complex

Abstract:

Classical oceanography models need to be much improved so as to reproduce the intense meso-scale and sub-meso scale turbulence that prevails and is observed by satellite altimetry. This turbulence includes energetic eddies, jets and filaments that determine the connectivity between islands and reefs. The models suffer from insufficient knowledge of the import of meso-scale turbulence at the open boundaries, an inability to generate this turbulence internally, and to assimilate in real time the satellite observations. Eric has developed a method to assimilate the observed chaotic water currents and it produces novel results on fish connectivity in Micronesia, the Galapagos, the South China Sea, and the Great Barrier Reef-Coral Sea system.

Biography:

Professor Eric Wolanski of JCU formerly at Caltech, BOM, SPCC, SMEC and AIMS studies tropical coastal oceanography and biophysics. Eric has an Australian Centenary medal, an ECSA lifetime achievement medal, a fellowship of two learned academies including ATSE, 2 Doctorate Honoris Causa, 400+ publications and he has a h-index of 81.

 

Time and Date: TESS seminar 28th October, 4pm (AEST)

Topic: Oceanographic chaos and its role in the connectivity in Micronesia, the Galapagos, the South China Sea, and the Coral Sea-Great Barrier Reef complex

The Fukushima Dai’ichi nuclear accident in Japan in 2011 was one of the largest ever marine pollution incidents, and had severe effects on fisheries and coastal communities in north-east Japan. Now the Fukushima nuclear plant is back in the news again, as its operator plans to release water containing  contaminants into the sea due to a lack of space on-site. FEC Fellow Leslie Mabon has been collaborating with Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology to research the  social effects of the Fukushima accident since 2014. In this blog post, underpinned by a new peer-reviewed paper and synthesis of the latest scientific evidence, Leslie explains what the current situation is at the Fukushima nuclear plant and discusses why the water releases are proving controversial. Read more here. Also, Leslie just published a paper on the topic, which you can find here. ]]> 11844 0 0 0 <![CDATA[Virtual Conference of Ocean Governance for Sustainability: Action Insights and Foreshadowing Challenges | 19-20 November 2020]]> https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/virtual-conference-of-ocean-governance-for-sustainability-action-insights-and-foreshadowing-challenges-19-20-november-2020/ Tue, 03 Nov 2020 17:26:52 +0000 https://www.futureearthcoasts.org/?p=11863 Virtual Conference of Ocean Governance for Sustainability: Action Insights and Foreshadowing Challenges | 19-20 November 2020 The European COST Action Ocean Governance for Sustainability is hosting their final conference this month - due to the ongoing corona pandemic it's going to be a virtual event.

From the abstract: "The issue of marine plastic litter pollution is multifaceted, cross-sectoral, and ongoing in the absence of appropriate management measures. This study analysed the issue of marine plastic litter pollution in the context of the Descriptor 10 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and Good Environmental Status of the oceans and seas. The Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework was used to assess the causes, e ects, and management measures to changes in the marine environment resulting from marine plastics pollution. We noted that less than 10 peer-reviewed publications have applied the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) model to the issue of marine plastics pollution. Some basic needs such as food security, movement of goods and services, and shelter are also some of the major drivers of marine plastic pollution." Find the full article here.

The objective of the OA-Africa side event is to promote and facilitate a community of awareness around ocean acidification to communicate, develop, and facilitate international activities on ocean acidification, including science, capacity building, and communication. We find that the work on ocean acidification is better appreciated when scientists, industry practitioners, and policymakers collaborate and speak a common language. The Ocean Acidification Day of Action will be hosted by the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia in cooperation with the Ocean Acidification International Coordination Center (OA-ICC). Ocean acidification often referred to as “the other CO2 problem”, is a perturbation of ocean chemistry as a consequence of human CO2 emission. It has been shown to be a major threat to marine ecosystems worldwide, and is the focus of the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14.3. Since 2015, African scientists are actively collaborating to address this issue by advancing ocean acidification research throughout the continent as part of the OA-Africa network. Many African countries rely heavily on their coasts and marine systems/resources for economic growth and well-being. Unfortunately, Africa's marine and coastal ecosystems face severe environmental threats, such as untreated wastewater discharge, illegal fishing, and habitat degradation, all combined with human-induced climate change. The rapidly increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) alters the climate as well as the chemistry of the ocean. Hence the  ocean has absorbed one-fourth of anthropogenic CO2, thereby causing an increase in seawater acidity, a process referred to as ocean acidification. Overwhelming evidence is demonstrating that ocean acidification has the potential to negatively impact marine ecosystems and their associated services. Local adaptation strategies are needed to minimize the negative effects of this ongoing process, while a global reduction of CO2 emissions (mitigation) is the ultimate solution. Currently, the lack of data on ocean acidification and its impacts for Africa is strongly limiting the potential to develop and implement such strategies. Ocean Acidification Africa (OA-Africa) is a pan-African network working to coordinate and promote ocean acidification awareness and research in Africa.  The network is composed of more than 100 scientists interested in conducting ocean acidification research in Africa. OA- Africa is part of the wider Global Ocean Acidification Observing Network  as one of seven regional hubs. The Ocean Foundation (TOF) launched the OA Day of Action on the 8 January 2018, or 8.1, representing the current average pH, a measure of how acidic or basic the ocean is. For the past two years, TOF has celebrated the OA Day of Action as an event in Washington DC for government representatives from embassies to learn more about ocean acidification and to encourage to build both technical and financial capabilities to address the effects of ocean acidification. This year, a side event will showcase the scientific efforts to monitor and research ocean acidification throughout Africa. This event will increase awareness about ocean acidification and current status of research efforts in Africa and foster a dialogue with scientists, policymakers and industry practitioners attending the OA Day of Action in Monrovia, Liberia. OA-Africa will host the side event in partnership with The Ocean Foundation, the OA-ICC, Future Earth Coasts, Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia and the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority. The OA-Africa side event's objective is to promote and facilitate a community of awareness around ocean acidification to communicate, develop, and facilitate international activities on ocean acidification, including science, capacity building, and communication.

With continuous CO2 emissions, scientists predict that the menace will intensify to the detriment of marine ecosystems and the services they provide to society, particularly coastal communities. This is a risk, scientists from across Europe, Africa and the United States are working to avert by holding a side event in Monrovia virtually and in-person on the weekend of January 8, 2021, to promote awareness and remedy research gaps in Africa- a continent proven to lack technical resources that would enable it to face this fastest-growing threat. Ocean Scientists from the International Atomic Energy Agency Ocean Acidification International Coordination Center, Ocean Acidification Africa Network, The Ocean Foundation, Future Earth Coasts, and other international stakeholders joined about fifty national policymakers and industry practitioners including the National Fisheries and Aquaculture Authority (NaFAA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Liberia to raise awareness about ocean acidification and research at the Ocean Acidification Day of Action side event hosted by NaFAA and EPA in cooperation with the IAEA OA-ICC and OA-Africa Network.

On January 6th the sand barrier separating the Lake St Lucia Estuary from the sea was artificially breached by the iSimangaliso Authority in apparent disregard of its own management strategy and ignoring the scientific evidence on which this strategy is based.

The St Lucia Lake estuary is the biggest estuary in South Africa, supporting the biggest population of hippopotamus and crocodiles in the country. In 1999, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park became a World Heritage Site, the first in the country, owing to its outstanding natural values. The area is also recognised as a Ramsar Site due to its exceptional aquatic and wading bird habitat.

Following extensive research, in 2012 the Management Board and the South African Department of Environmental Affairs ratified a new management policy to cease the artificial breaching regime allowing the estuary to re-establish its natural dynamics. The reversal of a 60-year-old environmental management policy was met with discontent by the local population who see the artificial breaching of the estuary mouth as a solution for fishing problems and the alleviation of flooding of surrounding cane fields and banana plantations. Despite local farmers’ attempt to revert this policy, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority and Edna Molewa, then Environmental Affairs Minister, won a landmark victory in the high court which deemed that an artificial breach would ‘prejudice the environmental advances’ that had already been made in restoring the Lake St Lucia Estuary.

The breach earlier this month has already been contested by “a concerned group of scientists, some of whom have worked in the Lake St Lucia Estuary since the 1970s, with extensive collective experience of estuaries and their functioning both in South Africa and internationally” who have reached out to Ms Barbara Creecy, Minister of Forestry and Fisheries and Environmental Affairs by means of an open letter.

With a tear in one eye and a smile in the other our former chairs and vice chair officially passed the baton to the chairs and vice chair elect, now acting chairs and vice chair of Future Earth Coasts. All three of them have been involved with Future Earth Coasts for many years, not limited to their terms as (vice-) chairs, and under their leadership important developments such as the development of the Our Coastal Futures strategy and the extensive restructuring of Future Earth Coasts in 2019, with the implementation of a distributed International Project Office and establishment of the FEC Academy, took place. We thank Valerie Cummins, Bruce Glavovic and Donald Forbes for all their dedication, great leadership and guidance that they provided us with over the past years. Due to the ongoing pandemic we were not able to meet in person last year, which is why we had to somewhat impersonally say “goodbye” for now. We are very happy though that the three of them will stay part of the FEC Family, as they are involved in a number of ongoing projects.
On behalf of the new acting (vice-) chairs and the entire Executive Committee, we wish them all the best for their future endeavors!

Kira Gee is one of the team members for the project CoastWise – a MeerWissen initiative Social and cultural values are increasingly understood as important in marine management – in various contexts and for various reasons. Despite this, marine spatial planning (MSP) has predominantly focused on economic and ecological values so far, although critics have called for greater consideration of social aspects, especially issues related to inclusion and social justice. In recent years, research has highlighted the many benefits marine and coastal cultural values have to societies, communities and individuals. An approach aiming to provide further visibility to these values is the idea of identifying “Culturally Significant Areas” (CSA) in the sea. This approach is modelled on the EBSA principle and aims to allow such areas to included in MSP discussions on a par with other important areas. The aim of this workshop is to highlight the importance of socio-cultural values in MSP together with the difficulties in eliciting and working with these types of values. The workshop will consist of both a short theoretical part, as well as an interactive part discussing the applicability of the concepts discussed.

In this piece, Prof Wolanski explains how this river basin is suffering from environmental degradation from historical, haphazard developments without integrated planning. Among other issues is the fact that downstream is the Cape Bowling Green, a peninsula maintained by the balance between the incoming sand from the river and the coastal erosion. However, the Burdekin Falls dam is depriving the coast of new sediment and a projection predicts the peninsula is likely to erode and breach. This is likely to affect the wetlands in Bowling Green Bay which resident and migratory birds rely on. With business case studies for raising the height of the Burdekin Falls Dam and for building three new dams, the author calls for a shift in the way Australia’s river systems are planned. Prof Wolanski encourages assessments that consider the cumulative effects of the proposed changes rather than looking at each factor independently. Read the full paper: Burdekin 2021. [Eric Wolanski.

Copernicus Evolution: Research for harmonised and Transitional water Observation (CERTO), a FEC supported network, brings together a community of innovators and entrepreneurs, as well as four research-intensive institutes, and the leaders of the water quality data production in the three Copernicus Services (Copernicus Marine, Copernicus Climate Change, and Copernicus Land). This project aims to produce harmonised water quality data from each service on the European Copernicus programme and make it available to the large number of stakeholders operating in transitional waters. CERTO is focusing on six case-study areas spread across Europe. These provide contrasting environments, from the large watersheds of the Elbe, Curonian and Tagus to the smaller catchments of the Tamar, Venice and Razelm-Sinoe. The Tagus is one of the largest estuaries in Europe. It comprises a protected natural reserve area and is the stopping grounds for a wide range of migratory bird species and transiting fish. Its broad shallow bay has semi-diurnal tides and is fed with fresh water from the Tagus river. An in situ monitoring programme has been running in the region since 1999, making it an ideal location for CERTO to determine long-term changes in water quality. Keep up with the latest on this project which received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme via their twitter @CERTO_project. Their e-newsletter is distributed every six months with details of project progress and highlights.

Satellite imagery provides cost-effective and reliable information to aid in coastal restoration and resiliency efforts. The webinar will touch on Stantec’s recent pilot study on the Louisiana Barrier Islands where new innovative remote sensing technologies are being used to help monitor and prioritize restoration efforts in the face of climate change and natural disasters. High-resolution satellite imagery is acquired daily in optical (red, green, blue) and near-infrared (NIR) channels for the entire Barrier Island chain at a fraction of the cost of traditional aerial photos. For the past five years, Stantec, in partnership with the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) have been using Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) and Interferomic Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to establish baseline conditions for this site with incredible precision and accuracy, including vegetation health, shoreline delineation, and land changes resulting from erosion and deposition. Speakers: Grant Wiseman (Stantec Geomatics Remote Sensing Specialist) and Carl Ferraro (Stantec Senior Environmental Scientist). Grant’s diverse remote sensing background sets him apart from other remote sensing professionals—he’s completed studies across the globe. Grant has worked in the rainforests of central Borneo and in the Canadian high arctic, applying his remote sensing skillset on a wide variety of applications, mapping mountain gorilla habitats and delineating Native American archaeology. He’s also utilized many types of remotely sensed imagery from ultraviolet light and thermal energy to synthetic aperture radar. With more than 25 years of experience working in coastal programs, Carl provides clients with the expertise needed to successfully plan coastal restoration and economic development projects. These innovative plans and designs work with natural systems, leveraging our “eco capital” to reduce impacts to coastal resources.

Given the significant global sustainability challenges we face, scientists around the world are tirelessly exploring solutions and responses to the most pressing global issues. Often, however, the true challenge lies in translating scientific knowledge into decision-making and practice that adds up to outcomes at a global level.
    • How can we ensure that the actions we take and the decisions we make are informed by the latest research, or by the deepest traditional knowledge?
    • How can we help researchers and innovators make their knowledge and expertise available and accessible to decision-makers at all levels of government and in all sectors of society?
    • What mechanisms can we develop and use to co-produce quicker, better decisions in the face of accelerating global change?
    These questions are fundamental as the world emerges from the pandemic, and building a resilient social-ecological system is more important than ever. This SRI Talk theme, Advocating Knowledge-to-Action, is one of the five Congress Pillars of the Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress 2021 (SRI2021) which will take place June 12-15, 2021, in Brisbane, Australia. This free, 90-minute event will be live-streamed through the SRI2021 virtual platform, including a moderated discussion and live audience Q&A. Visit the website to find out more.]]>

The International Coral Reef Society (ICRS) assembled a team of experts to highlight the urgency of taking action to conserve and restore reefs through protection and management measures. This effort culminated in the creation of a paper titled “Rebuilding Coral Reefs: A Decadal Grand Challenge” which provides a summary of the most relevant and recent natural and social science findings and their implications for the numerous discussions and negotiations taking place at the global level. The paper will be available here on the day of the event. This event will bring together scientists, including the lead author of the paper, Nancy Knowlton, and policy actors to discuss the paper and how it can support governments as they prepare for key negotiations on the dual crisis of climate change and biodiversity loss. This event is organized under the auspices of the International Coral Reef Symposium 2021 by Future Earth Coasts, and partners including the International Coral Reef Society, the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, UN Environment Programme, ICRI, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the Kellner & Stoll Foundation for Climate and Environment.

During the event, several scientists, members of the general public, NGO's, intergovernmental organisations, government officials, among others, joined the live stream panel. The event brought together scientists and policy actors to discuss the paper and how it can support governments as they prepare for key negotiations on the dual crisis of climate change and biodiversity loss. The authors, an international group of researchers representing thousands of coral scientists across the globe, are calling for new commitments and actions by the world’s policymakers to protect and restore coral reefs. The paper, developed by the International Coral Reef Society, pushes for three strategies to save the reefs: addressing climate change, improving local conditions and actively restoring coral. Coral reefs are at an inflection point, the researchers say. Stop climate change now – and start to reverse it – and some reefs might survive, with the possibility that they could be rebuilt in the future and provide the seeds to regrow damaged reefs elsewhere. The paper makes three asks of policymakers:
    • Commit to addressing biodiversity loss and the effect climate change has had on coral reefs, ensure policies are ambitious enough to address those crises, and ensure that policies are implemented.
    • Build coordinated actions across related policy fields at all levels of governance, from local councils to international bodies. This includes efforts in conservation, management and restoration, as well as policies that address climate change adaptation, biodiversity and sustainable development.
    • Innovate new approaches to help coral adapt to climate change. Global warming is here, and adaptation is unavoidable. A small percentage of reefs and some coral species have been successfully managed. “Studies of these ‘bright spots’ provide important lessons to guide future actions, such as how local community participation can improve management outcomes,” the scientists wrote.
    The ICRS policy paper was authored by scientists from the U.S., Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. The mission of the ICRS is to promote the acquisition and dissemination of scientific knowledge to secure the future of coral reefs, including via relevant policy frameworks and decision-making processes. The policy statement released in coordination with the 14th International Coral Reef Symposium is the most comprehensive in the society’s history. The event was organised by Future Earth Coasts and partners including the International Coral Reef Society, the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, UN Environment Programme, ICRI, HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the Kellner & Stoll Foundation for Climate and Environment.

    Session ID: CP01 Protecting Coastlines Using Nature-Based Solutions Topic Area: Coastal and Estuarine Hydrodynamics and Sediment Processes

    Session Description: "Storms represent the most common and costly natural hazard globally, especially in coastal, low-lying areas. Communities are increasingly looking for effective and suitable measures to mitigate coastal hazards and adapt to climate risks. Coastal ecosystems such as coral reefs, beaches, dunes, mangroves, and wetlands can provide an effective first line of defense against these flooding and erosion hazards. However, these protection services are disappearing as many of these ecosystems continue to be lost at alarming rates globally. Although both the public and private sector acknowledge the role of ecosystems in reducing coastal risk, measures to quantify their effectiveness to reduce flooding and erosion and their suitability for local environments is still lacking, certainly compared to conventional coastal protection structures. A better understanding of the hydrodynamics, morphodynamics, and ecology across spatial and temporal scales is critical for informing and advancing new ecosystem-based solutions. This session aims to evaluate the role of coastal ecosystems and restoration projects to mitigate coastal hazards by exploring the dynamic connections between ecosystem health and status, geophysical processes, environmental changes, and the evolution of coastlines. We encourage site-specific studies, regional investigations, modeling studies both on the storm event scale and long-term, and efforts towards multi-disciplinary and integrated approaches to understanding the current state and future of the role of natural and restored coastal ecosystems on the protection of adjacent coastlines. Presentations that use new and experimental techniques that may improve or change the way coastal ecosystems are valued for their hazard risk reduction potential are also encouraged."

    For the past three years, FEC has evolved its project office structure into a distributed model, with a lead International Project Office - IPO and multiple supporting project offices. While a certain learning curve was involved, this structure has proven very successful, and we would like to continue with this arrangement and even expand it going forward. Some of the host institutions have decided not to renew their hosting commitments at the end of this three-year period, and we are also seeking to broaden our geographic representation. Thus, we are extending a Call for Expressions of Interest to host Project Offices.

    IPO hosts will join an active and engaged team of project offices and be represented on FEC’s Executive Committee, benefiting from international contacts and exposure and the opportunity to actively shape and implement the FEC agenda.

    Deadline for Expression of Interest (EoI): 15.10.2021 How to respond to this call for Expressions of Interest Organisations interested in submitting an Expression of Interest should:
    • Introduce the institution (or consortium of institutions in the case of co-hosting partnerships). This can be research institutes, centres, universities, government agencies, or comparable relevant organisations.
    • Outline the institution’s capability to deliver an International Project Office.
    • Provide a funding plan for necessary staff and operations.
    • Provide an official letter of support signed by a legal representative of their institution as part of their application.
    Benefits of hosting an FEC - IPO Key benefits to a host include increased international exposure, opportunities for new collaborative research in the international domain, high-impact scientific publications, and policy relevance. Role of an IPO An IPO coordinates and facilitates the implementation of the FEC research strategy and associated activities in accordance with priorities set by the Executive Committee. The distributed IPO network is responsible for the day-to-day management of FEC, ensuring the coordination across research priorities, regions, and projects and liaising with key research users. Interested parties are encouraged to consult the FEC website and/or contact the current IPO Executive Director Dr. Sebastian Ferse for further details and informal discussions prior to submitting an Expression of Interest.]]>

(...) Fisheries and aquaculture currently contribute USD $24 billion to the economy in Africa, employing more than 12 million people across the continent." International organizations have been hard at work building ocean acidification capacity in Africa and providing excellent knowledge and resources for policymakers and resource managers. Ocean Acidification Africa (OA-Africa) is a group of concerned scientists seeking to advance the study of ocean acidification for the benefit of informed policy and adaptive strategies in African coastal waters. This "Ocean Acidification in Africa" document has been prepared in anticipation of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland on 31 October-12 November 2021. It calls for unique local, national, and regional ocean acidification research and provides recommendations for a Pan-African response. Read the full document here.

The organisers plan for the format of the conference to be flexible, giving the opportunity to more easily adapt to the uncertain global context. Submissions are now open for two EGU22 coastal sessions, co-sponsored by the Commission on Coastal Systems (CCS) of the International Geographical Union (IGU):
    • GM6.7: Coastal Zone Geomorphological Interactions: Natural versus Human-Induced Driving Factors
    The session will be organised for the fourteenth time at the EGU2021 General Assembly and gives priority to the subjects of coastal geomorphology: evolution of coastal landforms, coastal morphodynamics, coastline alterations and various associated processes in the coastal zone, e.g. waves and sediment drift, which shape coastal features and cause morphological changes. This session explores the interactions between natural geomorphic processes and human interventions in the coastal zone. Topics include work on predicting shoreline change and the effects of human activities on the coast, including coastal vulnerability to natural and human-related hazards, coastal and environmental sensitivity classifications and risk assessments, impacts on coastal dune fields, eco-restoration and re-building of coastal environments, Marine Spatial Planning, and Integrated Coastal Management. This session is being organised by Margarita Stancheva (Bulgaria), Andreas Baas (UK), Hannes Tonnison (Estonia), Giorgio Anfuso (Spain) and Guillaume Brunier (France). Session link.
    • GM6.9: Coastal morphodynamics: nearshore, beach and dunes
    The session will be organised for the fifth time at the EGU2022 General Assembly. Examining the morphodynamics of coasts from the nearshore through to inland dune systems is a fundamental requirement in understanding their short- to long-term behaviour. Examination of complex interactions between these interconnected systems has become essential for the understanding, analysis and ultimately, the management of our coasts. This session welcomes contributions from coastal scientists interested in the measurement and modelling of physical processes and responses within the three sub-units over various spatial and temporal scales. It will highlight the latest scientific developments in our understanding of this part of the planet's geomorphic system and will facilitate knowledge exchange between the submerged (e.g., nearshore waves, currents, and sediment transport) and sub-aerial (e.g., beach and aeolian dune dynamics) zones. This session is being organised by Irene Delgado-Fernandez (UK), Emilia Guisado-Pintado (Spain) and Derek Jackson (UK). Session link. Abstract submission deadline: 12 January 2022, 13:00 CET!
