“…Even articles describing social outcomes of ecological interventions will often also report on ecological outcomes (e.g. Aswani & Weiant 2004; Needles et al 2013; Kainamu‐Murchie et al 2018), increasing the evidence base of these linkages. Additionally, the most studied ecological interventions (species translocation and artificial reef construction) have successfully improved the most common ecological outcomes of species abundance, size, and health (e.g.…”

Globally, shellfish reefs have experienced unprecedented declines from historical levels, imperiling the surrounding ecosystems and the services they provide. Shellfish conservation and restoration projects have emerged to combat and reverse this decline but are hindered by a scattered knowledge base and a lack of evidence-based best practice. To address this concern, we conducted a systematic review of English-language peer-reviewed articles studying the impacts of conservation-based actions on reef-building bivalves. A comprehensive search identified 281 relevant articles for the review. Articles were then categorized to establish the temporal and geographic extent of shellfish reef conservation research, quantify collaboration within the field, and develop a systematic map of the distribution of evidence across intervention and outcome categories. The results confirm a substantial increase in shellfish reef research with 72% of articles published since 2010. However, this evidence base is uneven, with 80% of research occurring in the United States and Northern Europe, 71% on only oysters, and 58% by only academiaaffiliated authors. The systematic map of linkages and gaps also reveals disparities in the evidence base, as ecological interventions and outcomes are undertaken and measured at a far greater rate than social interventions and outcomes, despite evidence that social aspects are critical components of conservation work. To ensure future conservation practitioners have evidence that is relevant to the circumstances of their projects, this evidence base needs to be diversified and we offer recommendations on reprioritizations for future research as well as a comprehensive database of existing shellfish conservation papers.

“…The tool is not perfect; issues have been identified in terms of an over-emphasis on pressurestate interactions, with inadequate treatment or integration of management responses and impacts to human well-being (Lewison et al, 2016;Patrício et al, 2016), but it does help to identify where pressures and threats are in a system, and therefore possible options for intervention. In Aotearoa NZ, ki uta ki tai-from mountain to sea-is a Māori concept that emphasises the interconnectedness of ecosystems inclusive of people (Schiel and Howard-Williams, 2016;Tipa et al, 2016;Kainamu-Murchie et al, 2018). This concept aligns closely with the commitment to EBM required to effectively manage cumulative effects in complex marine systems.…”

“…The increasingly powerful position of Māori/Iwi can provide unique opportunities to explore alternative approaches to CE management. For example, a ki uta ki tai (mountains to sea) approach to CE management that draws from traditional and contemporary Māori approaches to natural resource management (Kainamu-Murchie et al, 2018) provides a proactive, holistic framing from which CE management can be undertaken.…”

Trans-Tasman Cumulative Effects Management: A Comparative Study

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Managing the cumulative effects (CE) that arise from human and natural stressors is one of the most urgent and complex problems facing coastal and marine decision makers today. In the absence of effective processes, models, and political will, decisionmakers struggle to implement management strategies that effectively tackle cumulative effects. Emerging efforts to address cumulative effects provide a timely opportunity to assess the efficacy of a range of management strategies operating at different scales and in different legislative and cultural contexts. Using primarily qualitative methodologies including literature reviews, focus groups, and workshops, this paper compares cumulative effects approaches within the Reef 2050 Plan for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), Australia, with those in Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa NZ). Both case studies illustrate that cumulative effects management is especially complicated by: fragmented legislative regimes and institutions that cannot account for cross-scale or cross-sector interactions; chronic data scarcity and high levels of uncertainty that make system-based assessments and predictions challenging; and often conflicting societal and economic expectations, values, and rights that are poorly integrated into management decision-making. By considering how these two cases align with transformational change characteristics, we draw several conclusions and establish priority actions regarding (1) how to mobilise resources and political will to address CE, (2) how to deal with data scarcity and uncertainty, and (3) how to promote comprehensive and inclusive CE management of coastal and marine areas.

“…Ki uta ki tai (from mountain to the sea) is a philosophy that reflects the Ngāi Tahu view of environmental and resource management and acknowledges both the biophysical connectivity and the reciprocal relationship between people and the environment (Te Rünanga o Ngāi Tahu 2003. Kainamu-Murchie et al (2018) used a survey approach to identify how local estuarine users have been effected by anthropogenic impacts and exclusion from decision-making processes. They identified that the environmental indices commonly utilised by survey participants were similar to global estuarine stressors, e.g.…”

“…Much of the research in this special issue has been assisted in part by the VM policy shaping the allocation of government research funding (e.g. Hepi et al 2018;Kainamu-Murchie et al 2018;Kitson et al 2018;Kusabs et al 2018;Ogilvie et al 2018;Whaanga et al 2018).
