“…Three of these cases (Papa Stour, Loch Maddy, Sound of Arisaig) were found in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, where there are relatively small populations of stakeholders whose dependence on marine resources is relatively high, both important influences for more substantial stakeholder participation in such initiatives (Edwards et al 1997). It is also noteworthy that the democratically elected councillors played a much more significant role in the development of the institutional arrangements in these three locations.…”

This paper reports the findings of a preliminary analysis of fifteen case studies of inshore marine protected areas in the UK. It draws on the common-pool resource (CPR) literature and is premised on the thesis that building partnership capacity amongst relevant authorities and resource users provides a critical basis for overcoming collective action problems (CAPs), through the development of incentive structures and social capital, in order to achieve strategic objectives. Particular attention is paid to the influence of statutory marine biodiversity conservation obligations to the European Commission for marine special areas of conservation (MSACs), as these are an important external contextual factor. The risks of imposition and parochialism are outlined and the challenges of taking a balanced approach are discussed. The challenges posed by the attributes of the marine environment are considered, as are those posed by the policy framework for MSACs. The findings are discussed in relation to three questions: (i) which partnership models appear to have the potential to overcome the CAPs posed by inshore MSACs? (ii) what CAPs had to be addressed during the early phase of development of the MSAC co-management regimes? (iii) what are the likely future CAPs for the collaborative management of MSACs that each partnership will need to address? These preliminary findings will form the basis for future studies to analyse the outcomes of these fifteen initiatives, in order to assess the strengths, in various contexts, of different approaches for building resilient and balanced, thereby effective, institutions for the co-management of MSACs in the UK.

“…It is important to choose methods cautiously and appropriately, because each organisation has its own characteristics. Case-by-case analyses are required, considering such issues as the context (e.g., political, Science Publications AJES environmental and economic), features of the study area, objectives and methods and management capabilities (Edwards et al, 1997;NOAACSC, 2007;Arimura et al, 2008;Broderick, 2008;Zutshi et al, 2008;Lennox et al, 2011).…”

Environmental management is a key element in ensuring positive environmental performance of an organization. The integration of environmental management into military activities has also become a growing concern for defence sectors internationally. At present, an Environmental Management System (EMS) is one of the most widely used environmental management tools throughout the world. Recent research and public concerns have been increasingly concentrated on EMS implementation and evaluation, examining how an EMS improves environmental performance. This study provides a literature review mainly on several areas: EMS related concepts, its application and evaluation methods in global defence sectors. It is found that there are no significant differences in the EMS adoption and implementation between different countries and defence sectors. Currently, there is no universal method for EMS evaluation. A case-by-case approach is preferred as long as evidence can be found to provide support for the evaluation of an EMS. Based on the review, relevant recommendations are discussed from aspects, such as environmental performance indicator, independent evaluation, data and information collection and environmental monitoring and reporting, that should help to ensure the EMS a helpful tool for sustainable environmental management. This review provides a general overview, identifies knowledge gaps and highlights aspects of the research regarding EMS implementation and evaluation; it is useful for strengthening the EMS operation, clarifying the relationship between the use of an EMS and environmental performance and producing operational guidelines for evaluating an EMS.

“…Other surveys have already shown that those most likely to react and take part in the implementation of new coastal schemes were typically from the local rural population (i.e. those living nearest the coast and most affected by changes to its environment) (EDWARDS et al, 1997). However, this targeting method does not mean that more general information on tidal marshes and depolderisation should not be communicated to the public via the media or revues for the popularization of the sciences.…”

“…However, this targeting method does not mean that more general information on tidal marshes and depolderisation should not be communicated to the public via the media or revues for the popularization of the sciences. And of course, it is essential that the local population have the possibility of taking part in the final decision and not suffer having the finished product imposed upon it, which, in the U.K., has oft caused overt opposition to certain draft plans (EDWARDS et al, 1997). Thus, those surveyed suggested that people be henceforth consulted once "the Environment Agency has selected a number of possible options for the coastal defence scheme that the public can choose between" (MYATT et al, 2003a and2003b).…”
