“…For example, there was a lack of explicit emphasis on data to support project goals not directly related to conservation, such as resource and land access needs. Gerhardinger et al 2009;Ens 2012). In addition, well-known strategies for collecting information with the help of local communities -including participatory geographical information systems (Brown & Raymond 2007) or surveying for Traditional Ecological Knowledge (Berkes et al 2000) -were mentioned in almost no theoretical papers (but see .…”

Marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems face increasing anthropogenic threats that are exacerbated by the ecological connectivity between realms; integrated land-sea management (ILSM) is a framework that can help address this connectivity. However, gaps in our knowledge regarding ILSM remain. This study reviewed 108 relevant studies to understand how ILSM is being utilized. Summarized are: (1) characteristics of integrated land-sea programs; (2) recommendations made from the literature for program planning, implementation and management; (3) how applied programs have been planned, implemented and managed; and (4) recommendations for undertaking ILSM. It was found that applied programs did not often adhere to the strategies recommended by theoretical papers. Applied programs were less likely than theoretical papers to specifically name the landsea connection, over 50% did not apply a framework or governance approach, many did not include key stakeholders, and over 80% listed at least one conflict or hurdle that decreased program success. This study highlighted the difficulties of undertaking ILSM given the high number of stakeholders, government agencies and experts involved. Based on the findings, recommendations for future ILSM programs are provided.

“…Current methods that expand the breadth of resilience indicators available for decision-making in biocultural approaches include cultural landscape and community asset mapping, multispecies ethnographies, and the development of community well-being indicators for the conservation of biocultural landscapes (Ens 2012, Pert et al 2015, Wali et al 2017, Thạch et al 2017, McCarter et al 2018). …”

ABSTRACT. Diverse and productive ecosystems and human well-being are too often considered opposing targets. This stems mainly from nature being perceived as separate from culture, which results in resilience indicators that focus predominantly on either ecosystems or humans, and that overlook the interplay between the two. Meanwhile, global targets for biodiversity conservation and human wellbeing have yet to be satisfactorily achieved. We believe that in order to develop effective, culturally appropriate, and equitable conservation strategies that ensure social-ecological resilience, conservation planners and practitioners must conceive of human and ecological wellbeings as an interrelated system. By giving nature a voice, and by viewing nature and people as an undifferentiated whole, some indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLC) have philosophical bases for achieving well-being for both humans and nature. Biocultural approaches to conservation ground management in local knowledges, practices, and ontologies. These approaches encompass both the biological and cultural aspects of a system, address complex relationships and feedbacks within human and ecological well-being, and offer flexible frameworks that facilitate synthesis across different metrics, knowledge systems, and ontologies. The process of developing indicators of resilience with a biocultural approach could help (1) overcome the human-nature dichotomy that often makes global approaches incompatible with local approaches by integrating local peoples' diverse forms of relating to nature, (2) reflect two-way feedbacks between people and their environment by focusing on processes, not just final states, and (3) define, measure, and monitor ecological and human well-being as a whole. It can also facilitate dialog between IPLCs and global decisionmakers who are disconnected from local realities, and between people from a diversity of disciplinary, ontological, and professional backgrounds.

“…This article evaluates the role of CBM in collecting fish landing data, and the results support the approach of previous studies about the role of local monitoring on global environmental benefits (Bowler et al, 2011). The proposed CBM enhanced CDCs sampling procedures to T A B L E 1 Harvest weight, average values (med), maximum (max) and minimum (min) of standard length (cm) of the harvested species during the CBM field test (lakes Orelha, Sacado, Formoso and Envira river); and baseline of a fishery project in the Purus River (lake Santo Antonio, Santarém and Bela Vista), State of Acre (Negreiro, 2010) monitor fisheries effectively (Ens, 2012;Isaac et al, 2000). A field test showed that CDCs could collect environmental data, as well as implement a protocol of collection on a regular basis.…”

“…Nevertheless, this approach has worked for monitoring different sectors, such as wildlife (Ens et al, 2010;Pimm et al, 2015), birds (Cooper, Hochachka, Butcher & Dhondt, 2005;Gregory et al, 2005), agriculture (Cole & Fernando, 2016), health (Rajput, Mbugua, Amadi & Were, 2012) and land management (Ansell & Koenig, 2011). Open-source technologies such as Open Data Kit-ODK (Hartung et al, 2010), Situation Assessment Using Mobile Phones-SMAP (Penman, Gopalakrishnan & Tsafack, 2010) and CyberTracker (Ens, 2012) facilitate implementation and also allow volunteers to collect quantitative and qualitative data at the same time.…”

Fisheries management is potentially a short‐term measure for reducing floodplain fisheries degradation. This objective can only be achieved if adequate measures to improve fishery governance and ecosystem conservation are taken. The monitoring of fisheries management is likely to be important for understanding the effectiveness of local rules and the impacts on aquatic biodiversity. Given that monitoring is the periodic assessment of fish stock characteristics regarding reference data, adopting tools and procedures for monitoring at different scales is a challenging task. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have enabled local communities to gather data on key resources in a cost‐effective way. This article presents a community‐based monitoring of fisheries based of smartphones that supports the annual fishing quotas and legal harvest permits procedures. The precision of community‐based monitoring data is assessed and a model to integrate these data into a large‐scale monitoring scheme examined. Data collection performance was evaluated at communities in the Kaxinawá Nova Olinda Indigenous Territory, in the State of Acre, where fishery management was monitored. The results indicate that voluntary collectors are able to provide data with precision comparable with government agency measurements, but at lower cost.
