“…This can be seen in the trend of proposing increasingly large marine protected areas [108,109], managing for connected networks of protected areas [110], and calls for ecosystem management [111] and regional planning and management [13]. These trends exemplify a shift toward scaling up MPA management [19]. We have argued here that the telecoupling framework can inform this shift in thinking.…”

“…The current globalized era presents unique challenges for MPA research, management, and governance in the face of distant impacts. Challenges include limited financial resources, lack of capacity, inadequate political will, and conflicts across different cultures and value systems [19]. However, there are also unprecedented opportunities to work together to identify socioeconomic and environmental synergies that can be revealed by using an integrated systems approach.…”

“…For example, one could track the pathway of larvae into and out of an MPA using particle tracking methods and subsequently predict relative ecosystem service benefits of the larvae at each point along the flow. Cutting edge approaches for tracking flows across space are newly becoming available and can open up new opportunities to make such determinations, including passive acoustic monitoring for marine mammals [94], hyperspectral remote sensing for detecting plastic concentrations over oceans [95], and satellite tracking of ships via technologies like SkyTruth [19]. This type of approach could identify potentially surprising spatial mismatches as was seen in the case of the Mexican free-tailed bat, such as by recognizing that an MPA that is funded to protect green sea turtles for example may be transferring services to other distant areas but not receiving compensatory support for conservation from the distant stakeholders.…”

“…As of 2017, the number of people undergoing international migration reached 258 million [16], international tourists exceeded 1 billion [17], and the global value of trade exports reached $17.7 trillion USD [18]. This type of frequency and magnitude of global exchange has strong implications for the marine environment, as even remote marine regions beyond national jurisdictions are influenced by distant processes via shipping of trade goods, oil and gas development, invasive species spread, climate change, and pollution [19][20][21]. Currently MPA management is lacking an effective framework to acknowledge and deal with these increasingly diffuse impacts.…”

A Synthesis of Opportunities for Applying the Telecoupling Framework to Marine Protected Areas

The world’s oceans face unprecedented anthropogenic threats in the globalized era that originate from all over the world, including climate change, global trade and transportation, and pollution. Marine protected areas (MPAs) serve important roles in conservation of marine biodiversity and ecosystem resilience, but their success is increasingly challenged in the face of such large-scale threats. Here, we illustrate the utility of adopting the interdisciplinary telecoupling framework to better understand effects that originate from distant places and cross MPA boundaries (e.g., polluted water circulation, anthropogenic noise transport, human and animal migration). We review evidence of distal processes affecting MPAs and the cutting-edge approaches currently used to investigate these processes. We then introduce the umbrella framework of telecoupling and explain how it can help address knowledge gaps that exist due to limitations of past approaches that are centered within individual disciplines. We then synthesize five examples from the recent telecoupling literature to explore how the telecoupling framework can be used for MPA research. These examples include the spatial subsidies approach, adapted social network analysis, telecoupled qualitative analysis, telecoupled supply chain analysis, and decision support tools for telecoupling. Our work highlights the potential for the telecoupling framework to better understand and address the mounting and interconnected socioeconomic and environmental sustainability challenges faced by the growing number of MPAs around the world.

“…Each actor has an individual interest; thus, it becomes necessary to implement a governance system capable of https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol25/iss1/art12/ bringing together all interested parties (Bavinck et al 2005). From this perspective, community-based conservation is a viable option for fishery resource management in the Anthropocene (Gutiérrez et al 2011, Ban et al 2017, Redmore et al 2018). .…”

Fishery resource management under extractive production models in the Anthropocene has contributed to the collapse of fish stocks, threatening the food and livelihood security of many people, especially fishers. Common-pool resource theory has established the relevance of the design principles of Elinor Ostrom, which favor collective actions for the management of these resources. With the help of small-scale fishers, we assessed the state of Ostrom's principles in the study system to determine the conditions required to implement fishery comanagement in the future. The communities of Taganga (Caribbean coast) and Tumaco (Pacific coast), Colombia, served as case studies because of their known dependence on fishing and because both communities are currently facing a social-ecological crisis within their top-down administrative frameworks. We performed six hearings, three in each community in 2009, 2012, and 2014, in which fishers brainstormed about the weaknesses that are closely related to Ostrom's social-ecological system framework. Additionally, 14 focus groups with 119 fishers (31 in Taganga in 2015; 88 in Tumaco in 2017) were conducted, one for each major fishing method used in each community. The obtained results made it possible to establish a community vision on the condition of the principles in each community, and the principles were prioritized by the fishers do determine which ones need immediate attention. The inhabitants of both Taganga and Tumaco expressed the urgent need to establish clear biophysical limits among resource users, to gain the participation of all actors involved, and to build nested enterprises. In particular, the community of Tumaco considered monitoring resources and regulations, establishing graduated sanctions, and recognizing basic rights to be priorities. Furthermore, future opportunities and conflicts related to fishery comanagement implementation were evident in both communities. Therefore, our results indicate that Taganga and Tumaco are not yet ready to implement fishery comanagement. Nevertheless, they have the knowledge and motivation to overcome the obstacles that prevent them from moving forward with managing their fishery resources and to face the tragedy of the commons.
