“…Como contribuição para a agenda nacional encontram-se algumas iniciativas e estudos de PEM para escalas locais, tendo como foco prioritário a faixa costeira-marinha (de Freitas et al, 2014;Gerhardinger et al, 2019). Ressaltam-se propostas em ambientes estuarinos (Prestrelo & Viana, 2016;Gern et al, 2017;Gerhardinger et al, 2018) e Áreas Marinhas Protegidas (AMP) (Teixeira et al, 2018;Soares & Lucas, 2018;Soares,2018;Rolim et al, 2016), sobretudo diante das criações das Áreas de Proteção Ambiental do Arquipélago de Trindade e Martim Vaz e do Arquipélago de São Pedro e São Paulo, em que a gestão com base ecossistêmica se destaca como abordagem importante voltada aos desafios da participação nas AMPs (Fassina et al, 2020). Com vistas ao ordenamento das atividades/usos do espaço marinho da região Sul do Brasil, Gandra (2020) propõe uma abordagem para definição de unidades ambientais marinhas e áreas prioritárias para gestão.…”

Coastal and marine spaces all around the world are committed to a current global sustainability agendas, in the seas and coasts, as well as their public policies and territorial governance agendas have received a special role in international discussions on the directions of development and conservation. In this context, the establishment of the Sustainable Development Agenda for 2030 (Agenda 2030) by the United Nations (UN) stands out which incorporated Objective 14, seeking to establish a science-political-society interface and strengthening the management of oceans and coastal zones for the benefit of humankind. In this scenario, in line with the global agendas and in order to identify and fill gaps in the interface between produced science and public policies for Brazilian marine-coastal environments, the initiative “Programa Horizonte Oceânico Brasileiro (HOB)” was created. The theme “Marine Space Planning (MSP)” is extremely relevant in the scope of the HOB, given its proposal for innovation through an ecosystem approach. Furthermore, MSP has been adopted as a mechanism for environmental policies in the international intergovernmental sector in countries with different levels of development, as a public policy and operational platform in planning and management of uses in the marine-coastal space. In this context, the activities of the Marine Space Planning Team (Team PEM) were established, which has been producing knowledge to strengthen the MSP in the path of collective inter-network learning and disseminating information that can assist future research, management and ordering actions in Brazilian seas and coasts, such as the publication of the.“I Volume Horizonte Oceânico Brasileiro” (Chapter 5 - Planejamento Espacial Marinho: Desafios e Oportunidades para Inserção Inter-Redes no Pré Planejamento Espacial Marinho Brasileiro) and the “Síntese para Tomadores de Decisão – I VOLUME HOB” (Planejamento Espacial Marinho: Desafios e Caminhos para sua Implementação) and the webinar of Marine Spatial Planning. This article aims to present the production of general knowledge about MSP by this group and its potential interaction with different systems (social, economic and political), looking to contribute and improving the information base of Brazilian coastal governance and also to subsidize possible initiatives related to the theme.

“…As currently envisioned, the EBM approach involves ecological management, such as establishing marine protected areas (MPAs) (Sobel and Dahlgren, 2004;Russ and Alcala, 2011;Li et al, 2020), and considering multiple species impacts rather than managing catches on a species-by-species basis (Walters et al, 2006;Harvey et al, 2010). EBM also involves socio-economic management, including involving the social and economic goals of the fishing community and other stakeholders in each ecosystem (Fassina et al, 2020;Reid and Rout, 2020;Watson et al, 2021), engaging these stakeholders in a collaborative process to define problems and propose solutions (Perruso et al, 2017;Tuda et al, 2021), recognizing that humans are a key component in an ecosystem, understanding ecosystem processes (Harvey et al, 2020) and how humans affect these and are affected by these processes, estimating the costs and benefits of various management options and summing net benefits across all fishery sectors (Browman and Stergiou, 2004). The website Ecosystem-based Tools Network 1 provides a useful synthesis of these approaches.…”

Linking Fishing Behavior and Ecosystem Dynamics Using Social and Ecological Network Models

One goal of ecosystem-based management is studying an ecosystem and its people, the socio-ecological system, in a qualitative and quantitative modeling approach that can provide management agencies with possible outcomes of their actions using scenario forecasting. Ecosystem-based fisheries management strives to use the socio-ecological system approach, including direct and indirect impacts on multiple species including the behavioral responses of fishers after a regulatory change (a gillnet ban). Here, we link fisher behavioral networks with a mass-balanced food-web ECOPATH network model of an estuarine ecosystem and its commercial fisheries for an analysis of fishing impacts after a gillnet ban on multiple species using ECOSIM. We modeled fisher behavioral networks using reported catches of species from individual fishers along with the gear fished to create nodes in a gear/species affiliation network. Individual fishers with common gear/species use are indicative of common fishing behavior. When such fishers have high network centrality and are engaged in multiple gear/species fisheries, they can transition to other gear/species fisheries along “switching pathways” when facing a regulatory change. We used an index of joint gear participation to identify likely gear switching pathways, and we predicted changes in fishing effort after a gill net ban. We simulated the gill net ban in ECOSIM under two scenarios of fishing effort: Scenario 1, gill net fishing effort of 0%; Scenario 2, gill net fishing effort of 0% with increased effort in the alternative gear fisheries using the predicted switching pathways for the affiliation network. Scenario 1 predicted an increase in flounder (Paralichthys spp.) biomass over a decade. Under Scenario 2, fishers targeting flounders were predicted to switch from gill nets to pound nets. Scenario 2 predicted a 7% decline in flounder biomass over ten years, rather than an increase in flounders. The gillnet ban with increased effort due to switching is predicted to have the opposite effect on the conservation goal, which was to increase flounder stocks. Fishery management that incorporates a socio-ecological approach modeling both fisher behaviors and multi-species ecosystem responses can reveal single-species responses that are in the opposite direction of the anticipated management goals.
