“…The creation of a multi-actor laboratory (MAL) platform, funded by the COASTAL (Collaborative Land-Sea Integration Platform) project, has brought together actors from different sectors (i.e., agriculture, fishing, local industry, tourism and public sectors) in SW Messinia, and under this umbrella, local stakeholders have met for the first time to discuss land-sea interactions, and how these can be improved in the future [64]. ES allow identifying links between nature and people [65], and we suggest that stakeholders' engagement could be fostered by leveraging the value of ES provided by the whole Natura 2000 site (as in References [66][67][68][69]), eventually improving the management of the area.…”

“…Wetlands supply a variety of resources for human's production and life, and provide via ecological services either directly or indirectly including climate regulation, water conservation, purification, soil conservation and biodiversity protection [4][5][6][7], which have played an important role throughout history to secure human well-being, as well as the social and cultural evolution of humankind [3,8,9]. However, with the rapid population growth and excessive resource consumption, the stability and biodiversity of wetland ecosystem were seriously damaged [6,10,11]. Increasing environmental and resource problems resulted in the degradation of wetlands, restricting the sustainable development of regional economy and society [2,12].…”

“…A common critique of assessment methods using qualitative criteria to address data gaps or integrate differing forms of evidence, a characteristic of ASF, is that they contain an element of subjectivity. McInnes and Everard defend integration of qualitative with quantitative evaluations as essential for systemic sustainability assessment, as evaluations based only on criteria for which statistical data are available will be skewed toward only known concerns and priorities, disregarding wider implications and interconnections between different, systemically connected aspects including unforeseen problems and potential future risks. In fact, semiquantification is already widely deployed in industry and regulation, for example in assigning risk criteria such as likelihood of timing, scale and reversibility of impacts.…”
