“…Despite this, Lu et al informed us that the guidance and policies to manage carbon and control specific climate change factors in coastal wetlands have rarely been mentioned in the Chinese coastal wetland management policies . Hence, it is recommended that future wetland policies introduce more climate change factors into coastal wetland management, including factor recognition, mitigation, and adaptation …”

“…45 Similarly, naturebased solutions, ecosystem functioning and services, natural capital, and the socioeconomic benefits of created wetlands are all now incorporated into national environmental strategies. Although coastal wetlands as ecological products effectively balance coastal wetland protection and economic development in coastal areas, in this analysis, the natural capital was rarely mentioned in the policy contents, which was introduced into the Chinese policy principles from 2000 to 2005 41 reported that, although numerous NGOs and enterprises are involved in coastal wetland management, 7 public participation in the policy text is still limited. Thus, it is essential to improve public awareness and participation and integrate their specific needs and concerns into coastal wetland management policies.…”

“…40 Hence, it is recommended that future wetland policies introduce more climate change factors into coastal wetland management, including factor recognition, mitigation, and adaptation. 41 Integrated Planning Should Be Increasingly Added to Coastal Wetland Integrated Management. Integrated planning is an appropriate way to resolve conflicts between intersectoral institutions or multiple uses spatially and can effectively promote the wise use of coastal wetlands.…”

The notable improvement of China’s wetland management policies over the last four decades prompted this study’s goal to quantitatively analyze the transformation of China’s coastal wetland policies from 1979 to 2022 by applying an institutional network analysis and policy text analysis. The results of the institutional network analysis revealed an administrative management transformation from a multidepartmental mode to an integrated management framework. Furthermore, the policy text analysis results revealed a change in policy priorities (from exploitation to protection) and management targets (from a single environmental element to a comprehensive ecosystem and further to collaborative governance). In addition, the overall outcome of this study instigated proposals for the improvement of future wetland policies on climate change, integrated planning, natural capital, and public participation. Hence, this study presents an example of wetland policy analysis based on a quantitative review, which we hope will also be valuable for other countries.

“…Despite their susceptibility to anthropogenic degradation, these environments support numerous species of organisms and habitats of ecological importance, while also providing vital goods and services to society. Estuaries alone cover more than 400,000 km of the global coastline with an estimated surface area of 1.1 × 10 6 km 2 [1] [2]. They form transitional environments between terrestrials, rivers, and open ocean systems and thus are vulnerable to an array of anthropogenic impacts because coastal lands nearby are often highly developed and densely populated, with human activities greatly affecting ecosystems along the watershed, river, estuary, and coastal ocean continuum [3] [4].…”

“…Four classes of anthropogenic drivers are potentially threatening estuarine and coastal marine environments, notably industrialization and urbanization, habitat degradation, increasing use of resources and space, and climate change [2] [6] [7]. They are particularly problematic when acting synergistically with other drivers of change to impact the structure and functioning of these environments and to reduce ecosystem goods and services.…”

A wide range of anthropogenic activities impacts estuarine and coastal marine environments including interactive climate and non-climatic drivers of change that can significantly degrade biotic communities and habitats. Many of these environments are in decline due to changes in ecosystem structure and function resulting from multiple stressor effects. In addition, inadequate governance has supported a patchwork of single issues or sectoral approaches rather than integrated management of multiple human uses and activities to maintain healthy, productive, resilient, and sustainable ecosystems and the provision of goods and services. Ecosystem-based marine spatial planning is a viable framework for a more effective governance structure and management of these vital coastal environments. An important component of this approach is a holistic effort to assess the environmental, economic, and societal impacts of anthropogenic activities. Thus, a multidisciplinary integrated approach is preferred that links ecological, physical, and socio-economic systems, increasing the protection of resources and societal benefits. For degraded estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems, restoration and rehabilitation initiatives are important intervention strategies used to reverse the loss of habitats and biotic resources and to support management programs. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are an integral element of marine management plans to conserve and sustain estuarine and coastal marine environments by protecting threatened ecosystems and their resources from anthropogenic activities. National and international regulatory frameworks and directives are also in place to protect and conserve these environments.
