“…In both examples, VCs are placed at the centre of the CEA, discussion of results is placed in the context of planning and management decision making, and the value of robust underlying data is evident. Diggon et al (2022) provide important insight into the broader decisionmaking, conflict resolution, and technical architecture required to develop collaborative marine plans informed by CEA. These approaches provide guidance to ensure CEA research contributes to the design and delivery of policy, which should be emphasized in future assessments.…”

challenges exist. Our review shows that research into how effects accumulate continues, but that there is much less evidence of research investigating how to bring that science into decision-making. The review intends to support efforts to accelerate the inclusion of cumulative effects assessment into marine and coastal planning and management. To that end, we propose research directions to bridge the gap between science, policy, and delivery. While our paper focuses on marine and coastal systems, it is straightforward to find evidence of the continuing need for good cumulative effects assessments in terrestrial and freshwater systems also. To that end, we hope that our review of recent research and proposed research directions will be of international interest and relevance.

“…The process included stakeholder engagement and in 2015 produced the Central Coast Marine Plan (MAPP, 2015), which delineated a network of spatial management zones (Figure 1). MaPP, however, could not legislate MPAs that exclude or limit fisheries; under federal law only DFO, not an MaPP partner, has that authority (Diggon et al, 2020).…”

1. We, the Haíłzaqv, Kitasoo Xai'xais, Nuxalk and Wuikinuxv First Nations, are the traditional stewards of our territories in the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada. Our traditional laws obligate us to manage and protect our territories for current and future generations. Spatial management is inherent to our cultures through the Hereditary Chief governance system, in which specific people within a lineage inherit the rights and responsibilities for stewarding specific areas. 2. Since the 19th century, we have been experiencing cultural disruptions caused by settler colonialism, which are now worsened by the declines of marine species vital to our cultures. These declines reflect fishery impacts exacerbated by climate change. 3. Western fisheries management focuses on maximum sustained yields (MSY), ignoring body size declines that disrupt food webs and diminish population productivity for vertebrate and invertebrate taxa, thereby eroding resilience to climate change. The worldview encompassed by the MSY framework-take the most that you can without compromising future exploitation while assuming no environmental change-is the antithesis of ours-take only what you need and leave lots for the ecosystem. Furthermore, standard stock assessments do not account for uncertainties inherent to climate change effects on distributions and productivity, and many by-catch species are unassessed. 4. Consistent with our traditional knowledge, scientific evidence indicates that marine protected areas (MPAs), coupled with other measures to reduce fishing mortality, can restore exploited species, safeguard biodiversity and contribute to fisheries sustainability. 5. In the 2000s, we paired Indigenous knowledge and Western science to develop marine spatial plans. These plans are foundational in our contribution to the ongoing development of the Marine Protected Area Network for Canada's | 1053 People and Nature REID et al.

“…To address these data gaps and in response to stakeholder concerns about perceived declines in kelp, the Marine Plan Partnership (MaPP), a partnership between the Province of BC and 16 coastal First Nations (Diggon et al, 2020), initiated a collaborative regional kelp monitoring program in 2018 with many partners that is intended to improve understanding of the distribution, abundance, biomass, and condition of kelp, document changes over time, and identify pressures on these systems across the BC coast. Data are collected using a variety of remote sensing methods, including WorldView and Landsat satellite imagery, multispectral data from plane-based surveys, and localized UAS imagery coupled with in situ data, including kayak/skiff and SCUBA surveys.…”

A Review of the Opportunities and Challenges for Using Remote Sensing for Management of Surface-Canopy Forming Kelps

Surface-canopy forming kelps provide the foundation for ecosystems that are ecologically, culturally, and economically important. However, these kelp forests are naturally dynamic systems that are also threatened by a range of global and local pressures. As a result, there is a need for tools that enable managers to reliably track changes in their distribution, abundance, and health in a timely manner. Remote sensing data availability has increased dramatically in recent years and this data represents a valuable tool for monitoring surface-canopy forming kelps. However, the choice of remote sensing data and analytic approach must be properly matched to management objectives and tailored to the physical and biological characteristics of the region of interest. This review identifies remote sensing datasets and analyses best suited to address different management needs and environmental settings using case studies from the west coast of North America. We highlight the importance of integrating different datasets and approaches to facilitate comparisons across regions and promote coordination of management strategies.
