“…This pursuit strengthens ties with nature, shapes local-to-regional economies, and has a complex history with environmental stewardship (Hemingway 1973;Maclean 1976;Brown 2012Brown , 2015. However, impairment of headwaters has strongly altered the interactions between people and nature, with the ecosystem services provided by rivers to society declining over time (Gilvear et al 2013;Lynn et al 2013;Marttila et al 2016).…”

Headwater streams and wetlands are integral components of watersheds that are critical for biodiversity, fisheries, ecosystem functions, natural resource‐based economies, and human society and culture. These and other ecosystem services provided by intact and clean headwater streams and wetlands are critical for a sustainable future. Loss of legal protections for these vulnerable ecosystems would create a cascade of consequences, including reduced water quality, impaired ecosystem functioning, and loss of fish habitat for commercial and recreational fish species. Many fish species currently listed as threatened or endangered would face increased risks, and other taxa would become more vulnerable. In most regions of the USA, increased pollution and other impacts to headwaters would have negative economic consequences. Headwaters and the fishes they sustain have major cultural importance for many segments of U.S. society. Native peoples, in particular, have intimate relationships with fish and the streams that support them. Headwaters ecosystems and the natural, socio‐cultural, and economic services they provide are already severely threatened, and would face even more loss under the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule recently proposed by the Trump administration.

“…For some projects, these oversights may impair the efforts to conserve or restore ecosystems and may ultimately lead to project failure, as has occurred in both developing and developed countries (Bode et al 2008, Buckley and Crone 2008, Abelson et al 2016. Consideration and amelioration of ES tradeoffs not only ensures that an ecosystem's finite resources are managed efficiently Ricketts 2006, Naidoo andIwamura 2007), but also provides a framework for facilitating local community and stakeholder engagement and support when establishing ecological reserves and managing resources for multiple users (Davenport et al 2010, Abelson et al 2016, Marttila et al 2016.…”

Coastal protection and conservation on sandy beaches and dunes: context‐dependent tradeoffs in ecosystem service supply

Abstract. Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) across landscapes presents a central challenge for ecosystem-based management, because services often exhibit spatiotemporal variation and weak associations with co-occurring ESs. Further focus on the mechanistic relationships among ESs and their underlying biophysical processes provides greater insight into the causes of variation and covariation among ESs, thus serving as a guide to enhance their supply while preventing adverse outcomes. Here, we used the U.S. Pacific Northwest coastal dune ecosystem to examine how invasive beachgrass management affects three ESs: coastal protection, western snowy plover conservation, and endemic foredune plant conservation. At seven coastal dune habitat restoration areas, we observed spatial variation in the supply of each ES and further identified a tradeoff between western snowy plover conservation and coastal protection. While the ESs were collectively influenced by the invasive beachgrasses and the foredunes they create, the magnitude of the synergies and tradeoffs were influenced by numerous non-shared drivers, including nearshore geomorphology, changes in foredune shape as a result of restoration, and other management actions irrespective of restoration. Incorporation of these shared and non-shared drivers into future coastal management planning may reduce tradeoffs among Pacific Northwest dune ESs. With better understanding of ES relationships, it becomes possible to identify management actions that may enhance synergies and mitigate tradeoffs, leading to better decisions for nature and people.

“…The stakeholders in this study felt that they together brought into the project a representative group of interests and knowledge, indicating a perceived legitimacy of the partnership. This is positive given calls for more stakeholder involvement (Marttila et al ) and the facilitation of stakeholder cooperation (Blicharska & Rönnbäck ). We found no similar cases in the literature.…”

“…In fact, disagreements over restoration may reflect differences in protection interests, e.g. birds versus plants, between protection interests and recreational interests, or between different types of natural value (Marttila et al ; Drouineau et al ; Paudyal et al ). Conflicts may also abound over concrete, yet perhaps less tangible values, such as aesthetic values (Gobster et al ) or concerns over place attachment and loss of meaning (Drenthen ) versus more psychological values such as cooperation (Miles et al ) and building of a conscience of so‐called ecological citizenship (Light ).…”

Ecological restoration involves a dual uncertainty or disagreement, one connected to changes in the environment and in human expertises, and another related to changes in views of acceptability over time and underlying value disagreements. While the former often is attended to under the notion of adaptive management, the latter is less often considered. The aim of this article is to investigate how a continuous involvement process can facilitate adjustments of ecological restoration, taking into account the values of all parties involved. Using a combination of a survey distributed to stakeholders in the involvement process and content analysis of the minutes from the series of meetings of the involvement process, the concerns and views of stakeholders, and the kinds of adjustment, which took place, were identified. Stakeholders were generally positive about being involved but expressed various concerns about the restoration approach itself, especially the open‐endedness, and about specific interventions. Three types of adjustment were identified: (1) project managers adjusted activities based on stakeholders' raised concerns and values; (2) stakeholders modified views in response to project managers as the restoration project proceeded; and (3) shifts in views took place within the stakeholder group based on exchanges with other stakeholders involved in the project. Mutual benefits and a higher level of mutual understanding were reached through the approach we call “adjustive ecological restoration.” This approach depends on the ability to work with stakeholders, willingness to adjust, high levels of trust, and the leveling of expectations at the beginning of the process.
