“…The Fiji government formally adopted the FLMMA as a coastal resource management policy in 2004. In 2003, there were 27 FLMMA sites, but in 2013, more than 400 communities were involved in FLMMA across Fiji and 466 MPAs were established [27,28].…”

“…The people of Soso believed that the purpose of their MPA was to increase fisheries resources, and at the time of the survey, they had no plans to use the MPA for tourism. However, there is potential for tourism use of the MPA, as many tourists visit Soso with its beautiful beaches [27].…”

“…In Vanuatu, giant clams were restocked in MPAs. The seedling production of giant clams by governments and universities for local communities, which are then restocked in MPAs and other areas, has been operated in Pacific Island countries, including Fiji [27], Samoa, Tonga, Solomon Islands, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and in Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia. It was practiced in all Asia-Pacific Island countries surveyed by the author.…”

“…If a large resort is built near a village with a small fishing ground such as Navutulevu, and with the coordination of the resort and the village community, a large part of the fishing ground may be set as no-take MPAs for tourism use. In this case, many villagers would be employed by the resort, and other tourism-related incomes would increase [27]. However, the catch of seafood from the fishing ground would be reduced, the villagers would purchase more canned foods or meat as a source of protein.…”

“…This will affect the food culture of the Pacific islanders, who, similar to the Japanese, are highly dependent on fish diet. When establishing MPAs for tourism use that are large compared to the remaining fishing grounds, not only the income but also the impact on the culture should be considered [27]. The health of the villagers should also be considered.…”

Coastal areas, eco-systems, biodiversity, and fisheries resources have been devastated worldwide because of diverse reasons. In Japan, to tackle these problems, various activities have been practiced, which deeply involve local people in Satoumi. The Satoumi activities are now spreading throughout the world. These Satoumi are extremely diverse, and it is difficult to capture them with a single definition or perspective. Because social–ecological systems in Satoumi areas are extremely complicated and highly uncertain, Satoumi co-creation requires transdisciplinary approaches in which diverse stakeholders including local residents, bilateral knowledge translators, and residential and visiting scientists play important roles. This paper reviews the various types of Satoumi in Japan and around the world, and Satoumi co-creation activities through the transdisciplinary approaches from multiple perspectives. The Satoumi co-creation includes not only the traditional single approach of resource management but also approaches to enhance the resources by direct human intervention, to conserve ecosystems that support the resources, and to survey and monitor the resources by fishers. This paper also reviews the synergy and integration of fisheries and other resource management, such as tourism-related activities in marine protected areas in Satoumi.

Stakeholder perceptions of mangrove ecosystem services across scales of conservation focus

Conservation faces a chronic shortage of resources, including time, funding, mental capacity, and human capital. Efforts to make the expenditure of these resources more efficient should, therefore, support more equitable and effective conservation prioritization. To achieve this, it is necessary to ensure the integration of the knowledge and perceptions of local stakeholders into larger scale conservation decisions. We used fuzzy cognitive mental modeling to assess the perceptions of mangroves and the prioritization of ecosystem services across 3 groups of stakeholders: representatives from 3 coastal Fijian villages, the national office of an international nongovernmental organization (NGO), and the US office of that same NGO. We found different topologies and valuations among the resultant mental models, with the US NGO office having the most terms. However, when comparing models from local villages with the US NGO office, scale‐dependent perceptions shifted, including the relative devaluation of locally important cultural valuations of mangroves. Despite these variations in perceptions, however, 3 key components of the mental models—women's livelihoods, men's livelihoods, and fisheries supplementation—all appeared as consistently important in multiple models, suggesting areas around which potential collaboration among stakeholders could be forged. By focusing on system‐wide, rather than stakeholder‐specific, optimal solutions within the system, new opportunities for collaboration may emerge. In doing so, these system‐wide solutions may increase efficiency and collaboration. Moreover, we found that boundary‐spanning organizations, such as the national‐level conservation organizations, played a role in facilitating information transfer and mediating conservation goals in a culturally appropriate fashion. Finally, although the specific example used here is mangrove conservation, our methodologies and findings are broadly applicable across a variety of conservation scenarios.
