1 Ecosystem based management: why try to herd cats? Mark

2 Why ecosystem based management? to promote biodiversity conservation, and explore consequences of trade-offs in the management of marine ecosystems Marshak et al In law, e.g. USA, Russia, Canada, Norway, EU, Int. treaties etc

3

4 Ecosystem based management key words management of human activities optimize benefits among diverse societal goals sustainable use trade-offs regional achievement of good environmental status consideration of collective pressures stewardship for future generations See Convention on Biological Diversity & FAO guidelines

5 Generalised process

6 Pragmatic Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management Balancing human activities & environmental stewardship in a multiple use context

7 How does ecosystem based management effect our science?

8 Delivery of science for management Place your order, drive around, and pick up the answer

9 Tools Choose them carefully Impossible to achieve realism, precision, and generality in one model. Model creation requires trade-off of one of these, often conflicts with the desire of end-users. Models are often employed without consideration of their limitations, e.g. projecting into unknown space without generalism, or fitting empirical models and inferring causality. Dickey-Collas et al 2014, Hazard warning: model misuse ahead

10 Data quiz time. Who knows of the Aarhus Convention?

11 Aarhus Convention, in force 2001 The right of everyone to receive environmental information that is held by public authorities including state assessments, policies & measures (< one month) Authorities have to actively disseminate information The right of everyone to participate in environmental decision-making. The right to review procedures to challenge public decisions Europe & central Asia

12 Think what that does to your approach to data storage and provision when provided as evidence for decision making Open, accessible, auditable, linked, equitable

13 Transparency of data & decision process Example: ICES Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems

14 Boundaries EBFM EBM Holsman et al 2017 & ICES 2016

15 Prioritise pressures

16 Example: EU marine strategy framework directive Objective: Good Environmental Status step wise process normative values Images: ICES

17 Ecosystem based management uses indicators To assess state To monitor progress towards targets To communicate Rochet & Rice 2005, Jennings 2005

18 ICES operational indicators include status of fish stocks seabed impact vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) spatial fishing pressure birds eutrophication spatial weight & value of landings Developing Noise Litter Bycatch Fish size x 2 Food web guilds Zooplankton Sensitive species Fish distributions

19 EBM centred on people so social indicators Well-being Values Agency Inequality UN SDG14 Hicks et al 2016

20 Example: Mid-Atlantic USA State of the ecosystem Alaska community profile: Mid-Atlantic: New England:

21 It isn t so simple with ecosystem based management solving challenges wicked problems normative & vague objectives Good Environmental Status uncertainty, values & stakes - post normal science science speaking to society - mode 1 and 2 science knowledge brokers - salient, credible, legitimate, social license

22 EBM wicked problems...thus needing iterations & consultations Rittel & Webber 1973, Churchman 1976

23 Entering the consultation arena

24 Priorities for EBFM objectives, list of 26 Science Literature Fishing industry 1 Consider Ecosystem Connections Sustainability 2 Appropriate Spatial & Temporal Scales Develop Long -Term Objectives 3 Adaptive Management Stakeholder Involvement 4 Use of Scientific Knowledge Use of All Forms of Knowledge Long et al Key principles of ecosystem-based management: Fishers perspective

25 Bounded rationality in science & policy Rationality of individuals is limited by information we have, cognitive limitations of our minds, & finite amount of time we have to make a decision. Image: tellthemisaidsomething.com/2013/

26 Knowledge exchange among scientists and decision makers for adaptive governance of marine resources

27 Co-production of knowledge Adaptive & revisiting Voinov et al. 2016

28

29 Challenges of natural scientists working with stakeholders: power dynamic, values, cost of iterations, perceived objectivity

30 Example: ICES economic trade-offs Spatial analysis of economic value of seabed impact Value landed when 10% of lowest fished area removed ( ) Process included exploration of concepts with stakeholders

31 ICES working towards an approach Best available knowledge, data and tools Quality control & transparency of all data, knowledge and synthesis Engage with the users of advice to define the issues, understand interests, ensure that advice relates to societal choices. Inclusive scoping process with other stakeholders Promote industry-science partnerships

32 Engaging as a scientist in EBM via co-production It will take much longer than expected, always frustrating, may not succeed resulting in great pain. The dialogue will challenge our academic training; and we must learn how to work deliberately with what we perceive as imperfection. Establish equitable partnerships; listening to others underpins our capacity to connect, build trust, adapt and evolve. The drive for simple communication may result in misleading answers but as everyone is always busy, you need to reduce the workload on partners. Inspired by Beth Fulton, CSIRO, Rosa Barciela, UK Met Office, Marta Ballesteros, CETMAR

33 We fail more often because we solve the wrong problem than because we get the wrong solution to the right problem (Russell Ackoff, 1950) Thank you!

34 Issue of ecosystem variability and change Carrying capacity & productivity Density effects Shifts in distributions & behaviour

35 Conservation & fisheries issues bycatch mixed fisheries competition for space fleet dynamics ecosystem impacts equitable processes

36 Knowledge creation Framework for interdisciplinary & transdisciplinary co-creation of the knowledge castle Mauser et al 2013

37 8 tenets for scientists, policy-makers, and managers (i) engage with players early, often, and continually; (ii) conduct rigorous human dimensions research; (iii) recognize the importance of transparently selecting indicators; (iv) set ecosystem targets to create a system of EBM accountability; (v) establish a formal mechanism(s) for the review of science; (vi) serve current management needs, but not at the expense of more integrative ocean management; (vii) provide a venue for EBM decision-making that takes full advantage of IEA products; (viii) embrace realistic expectations about science and its implementation. Samhouri et al 2014

38 Why ecosystem based management? Also it s the law... e.g. Russia Sustainable exploitation of resources that does not damage the environment or ecosystem Federal law N 166-P3 20/12/200 USA Healthy & resilient, safe & productive, understood & treasured so as to promote the well-being, prosperity, & security of present & future generations. Executive Order Norway Good ecosystem health & sustainable use, Regional MPs EU Good Environmental Status, MSFD, and ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management' means an integrated approach to managing fisheries within ecologically meaningful boundaries, Common Fisheries Policy 2014

39 Ecosystem based management (EBM) is a well-documented set of principles that lays out how society thinks we should manage the ecosystem. EBM acknowledges that we humans impact and gain benefits from the seas and should maintain them for future generations. I will share my interpretation of EBM and explore the ramifications of EBM for scientists that want to provide knowledge into the process. Successful utilisation of the knowledge is associated with understanding the role we play in the management framework. There is a skill set that the applied scientist needs to maintain when operating in the EBM arena. I will discuss some of the challenges and solutions that I have encountered. I will use example success stories to illustrate that tangible progress is being made across a range of scales and institutional frameworks. Progress can be made by prioritising EBM objectives, setting clear boundaries and realising that knowledge production contributes to EBM, but is not the raison d'être for EBM. Don t herd cats; monitor, assess and influence their behaviour. 40 minute slot, 30ish slides
