“…Noting community management successes, common-property scholars argued against the Hardin model (e.g., Ostrom 1990) and other social scientists highlighted the complex relationships between coastal communities and fishing, tourism, cultural identities, regional resilience, and local and global food networks (Abbott-Jamieson and Clay 2010; Clay and Olson 2008;Maiolo 2004;McCay 2004;St. Martin et al 2007;Rossiter et al 2015). The 1996 reauthorization of the MSA acknowledged communities but painted them as largely stationary (16 U.S.C.…”

“…The 1996 reauthorization of the MSA acknowledged communities but painted them as largely stationary (16 U.S.C. § 1851(a)(8)), and in practice management has focused on economic activities while ignoring the complex ways fishing communities are socially and emotionally integrated with marine spaces (Olson 2010;Rossiter et al 2015).…”

Rooted in a strong empirical case, this effort furthers theoretical conversations about the uses of the assemblage concept in working toward 'arts of government' that support greater socio-natural well-being (Ferguson 2009).…”

“…Mapping is an inherent (and explicitly powerful) part of the designation of a marine protected area (MPA), a "geographically defined area, which is designated or regulated and managed to achieve specific conservation objectives" (Convention on Biological Diversity [CBD], 1992, Article II). A better understanding of the socio-cultural relations inherent in the marine and coastal environment is an essential precursor to the implementation of MPAs (Brennan et al, 2011;Levine & Feinholz, 2015;Rossiter et al, 2015).

The conservation “myths” we live by: Reimagining human–nature relationships within the Scottish marine policy context

There are growing calls for the articulation and consideration of different value systems and emotions in shaping conservation and natural resource management decisions and participatory resource governance. This requires recognition of the socio-cultural relations attached to landscape and seascape in marine conservation policy. Taking into account the relationship between the socio-natural environment and socio-political institutions and processes complicates conservation. Making human values and assumptions explicit within the conservation discourse reveals the inadequacy of conservation that is focused on a biodiversity that is framed only as other-than-human nature. This paper considers how the perceived separation between nature and culture underpinning conservation policy and practice exacerbated a conflict between members of a small Scottish island community and the Scottish Government around the creation of a marine protected area (MPA) off the coast of the island. A rich maritime heritage and a distinctive way of knowing the sea suggested the presence of embedded values that appeared to be colliding with values driving the MPA designation process. Social, historical and cultural forces have shaped the perceptions of landscape and seascape of many of the islanders and can help to explain the local resistance to the MPA.Visual participatory methods were used to explore local understandings of the meaning of conservation. The case-study offers insights into different ways in which marine spaces are conceptualised and how this relates to marine resource governance. It contributes to a more complete understanding of human relations with the marine environment in the context of a marine conservation conflict.

“…For example, a participatory mapping process might highlight a fear that a conservation initiative could result in loss of local control over marine resources and/or change the prevailing socio-cultural context. There is increasing recognition that marine spaces are socially produced (see Brennan, 2018;Rossiter et al, 2015). Maps can produce reality as much as represent it through the choices made about what is, and is not, represented on a map (Crampton, 2001;Smith and Brennan, 2012).…”

Re-storying marine conservation: Integrating art and science to explore and articulate ideas, visions and expressions of marine space

Art-science collaborations are proliferating as the benefits of bringing artists and scientists together are increasingly recognised and supported. This paper documents an example of an artist and scientist with overlapping (as opposed to the more usual mutually exclusive) practices, in terms of artistic and scientific approaches to the research material. It illustrates how a collaboration between a marine social scientist (the author) and a visual artist helped to inspire a different approach to a marine protected area dispute between the Scottish Government and the small Scottish island community of Barra, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The art-science collaboration resulted in Sea Stories, an interactive, online, cultural map of the sea around the island of Barra. The participatory mapping process to create the Sea Stories map involved visions and expressions of marine space being constructed through constant interaction between the research team and research participants. It revealed different ways of knowing the marine environment, hitherto not visible or acknowledged within the marine policy environment where the protection of biological diversity was the focus. The acknowledgement of a rich and diverse cultural heritage bound up with the marine biological diversity opened up possibilities for the design of a community-led and government-supported co-management process that recognises the social relations which form part of the island's socio-ecological system.
