Abstract Post-industrial society is driving global environmental change, which is a challenge for all generations, current and future. The Anthropocene is the geological epoch in which humans dominate and it is rooted in the past, present, and future. Future sustainability is building on the momentum of the fundamental importance of studying human dynamics and governance of coupled social and ecological systems. In the Anthropocene, social innovation may play a critical role in achieving new pathways to sustainability. This conventional narrative review uses a qualitative analysis anchored in the Grounded Theory Method and a systematic collection and analysis of papers to identify broad types of social innovations. Scientific journal articles published since 2018 were prioritised for inclusion. The six types of social innovation proposed are (a) authentic engagement; (b) artful and engaging communication; (c) urging and compelling change; (d) governance for social-ecological systems; (e) anticipation in governance; and (f) lived experiences and values. The six innovations proposed in this paper can be embedded within, and form part of, social action using a science–society compact for the sustainable development of coasts in the Anthropocene.

Jack Coupland in OpenAIRELes robots marins ont le potentiel d'améliorer la recherche marine WIO pour améliorer l'adaptation régionale aux défis posés par le changement climatique en fournissant une capacité de recherche accrue qui contourne la nécessité d'infrastructures coûteuses, telles que les grands navires de recherche. Cet article teste ce potentiel et évalue l'état de préparation des communautés WIO à adopter des technologies autonomes pour répondre à ses priorités de recherche marine. Nous appliquons une gamme d'analyses à une étude de cas de robots marins entreprise dans les eaux autour de l'île de Pemba, une partie de l'archipel de Zanzibar, en Tanzanie en 2019. La campagne faisait partie d'un projet multinational axé sur l'augmentation de la capacité de l'OIO à relever les défis de la sécurité alimentaire et de la durabilité des océans. Un programme d'engagement communautaire avec six communautés côtières tanzaniennes a entraîné des changements positifs dans les attitudes envers les robots marins, avec des augmentations signalées dans la compréhension et l'acceptation de ces technologies. La suspicion des robots a été réduite et un risque plus faible de retrait de l'équipement opérationnel a été enregistré suite à la fourniture de matériel éducatif. L'analyse des coûts, des risques et des avantages montre que les robots marins sont perçus comme offrant des avantages de haut niveau, mais à un coût élevé difficile à atteindre en utilisant un financement national ou régional. Une évaluation de la capacité des instituts marins WIO à adopter de telles technologies montre qu'avant ce travail, peu de compétences ou d'infrastructures liées aux robots marins étaient disponibles pour les chercheurs et a en outre confirmé que les opportunités de financement étaient perçues comme largement indisponibles aux niveaux institutionnel, national, régional ou international. Les réponses des partenaires régionaux à la suite de l'achèvement de l'étude de cas ont toutefois révélé un accroissement de la capacité perçue, en particulier en ce qui concerne l'accès à l'infrastructure et à l'expertise, ainsi que le soutien et les possibilités de financement à chaque niveau. L'étude de cas présentée s'est avérée avoir été un précieux démonstrateur des avantages de l'utilisation de robots marins pour répondre aux exigences de recherche sur les océans côtiers de WIO et il a été démontré que la capacité régionale avait considérablement augmenté dans le large éventail d'instituts marins étudiés tout au long de la période de l'étude de cas. Cette étude démontre que la prise de mesures précoces en vue de l'adoption de robots marins autonomes a augmenté la capacité de recherche marine régionale de WIO et accru la confiance et la volonté des chercheurs locaux de rechercher des solutions alternatives aux défis de recherche marine en cours. Les recommandations pour les actions futures qui continueront d'augmenter la capacité et la préparation à l'adoption régionale des robots marins comprennent l'investissement aux niveaux local, national et régional pour fournir des opportunités de formation accessibles et faciliter les collaborations régionales et internationales ; l'investissement dans un centre régional ou un centre d'excellence pour la technologie robotique marine ; l'adoption précoce de technologies autonomes plus petites et moins chères nouvellement émergentes ; l'investissement dans les compétences locales et les installations de soutien pour aider l'adhésion et l'acceptation locales tout en soutenant la capacité régionale. Los robots marinos tienen el potencial de mejorar la investigación marina de la OMI para mejorar la adaptación regional a los desafíos presentados por el cambio climático al proporcionar una mayor capacidad de investigación que evita el requisito de una infraestructura costosa, como los grandes buques de investigación. Este documento pone a prueba este potencial y evalúa la disposición de las comunidades de la OMI a adoptar tecnologías autónomas para cumplir con sus prioridades de investigación marina. Aplicamos una serie de análisis a un estudio de caso de robots marinos realizado en aguas alrededor de la isla de Pemba, parte del archipiélago de Zanzíbar, en Tanzania en 2019. La campaña formó parte de un proyecto multinacional centrado en aumentar la capacidad de la OMI para hacer frente a los desafíos de la seguridad alimentaria y la sostenibilidad de los océanos. Un programa de participación comunitaria con seis comunidades costeras de Tanzania dio lugar a cambios positivos en las actitudes hacia los robots marinos con aumentos reportados en la comprensión y aceptación de tales tecnologías. La sospecha de los robots se redujo y se registró un menor riesgo de retirar el equipo operativo después de la provisión de material educativo. El análisis de costos, riesgos y beneficios muestra que se percibe que los robots marinos proporcionan beneficios de alto nivel, pero tienen un alto costo que es difícil de lograr con fondos nacionales o regionales. Una evaluación de la capacidad de los institutos marinos de la OMI para adoptar tales tecnologías muestra que antes de este trabajo, los investigadores disponían de pocas habilidades o infraestructuras relacionadas con los robots marinos y confirmó además que se percibía que las oportunidades de financiación no estaban disponibles en gran medida a nivel institucional, nacional, regional o internacional. Sin embargo, las respuestas de los socios regionales después de la finalización del estudio de caso revelaron un aumento en la capacidad percibida, particularmente relacionada con el acceso a la infraestructura y la experiencia, así como el apoyo y las oportunidades de financiación en cada nivel. Se demuestra que el estudio de caso presentado ha sido un valioso demostrador de los beneficios del uso de robots marinos para cumplir con los requisitos de investigación oceánica costera de WIO y se demostró que la capacidad regional aumentó sustancialmente dentro de la amplia gama de institutos marinos encuestados durante todo el período del estudio de caso. Este estudio demuestra que dar los primeros pasos hacia la adopción de robots marinos autónomos ha aumentado la capacidad de investigación marina regional de la OMI y ha aumentado la confianza y la voluntad de los investigadores locales para buscar soluciones alternativas a los desafíos actuales de la investigación marina. Las recomendaciones para la acción futura que continuarán aumentando la capacidad y la preparación para la adopción regional de robots marinos incluyen la inversión a nivel local, nacional y regional para proporcionar oportunidades de capacitación accesibles y facilitar las colaboraciones regionales e internacionales; inversión en un centro regional o centro de excelencia para la tecnología robótica marina; adopción temprana de tecnologías autónomas más pequeñas y baratas que están surgiendo recientemente; inversión en habilidades locales e instalaciones de apoyo para ayudar a la aceptación y aceptación local al tiempo que se apoya la capacidad regional. Marine robots have the potential to enhance WIO marine research to improve regional adaptation to the challenges presented by climate change by providing enhanced research capacity that bypasses the requirement for expensive infrastructure, such as large research vessels. This paper tests this potential and assesses the readiness of WIO communities to adopt autonomous technologies to meet its marine research priorities. We apply a range of analyses to a marine robots case study undertaken in waters around the island of Pemba, part of the Zanzibar archipelago, in Tanzania in 2019. The campaign formed part of a multinational project focused on increasing WIO capacity to meet food security and ocean sustainability challenges. A community engagement programme with six Tanzanian coastal communities resulted in positive changes in attitudes towards marine robots with reported increases in understanding and acceptance of such technologies. Suspicion of the robots was reduced and a lower risk of removing operational equipment was recorded following the provision of educational material. Cost, risk and benefit analysis shows that marine robots are perceived to provide high level benefits, but come at a high cost that is difficult to achieve using national or regional funding. An assessment of the capacity of WIO marine institutes to adopt such technologies shows that prior to this work, few skills or infrastructure related to marine robots were available to researchers and further confirmed that funding opportunities were perceived to be largely unavailable at institutional, national, regional or international levels. Responses from regional partners following completion of the case study however, revealed an uplift in perceived capacity, particularly related to access to infrastructure and expertise as well as support and opportunities for funding at each level. The presented case study is shown to have been a valuable demonstrator of the benefits of using marine robots to meet WIO coastal ocean research requirements and regional capacity was shown to be substantially increased within the broad range of marine institutes surveyed throughout the case study period. This study demonstrates that taking early steps towards adopting marine autonomous robots has increased WIO regional marine research capacity and increased the confidence and willingness of local researchers to seek alternative solutions to ongoing marine research challenges. Recommendations for future action that will continue to increase the capacity and readiness for regional adoption of marine robots include investment at local, national and regional levels to provide accessible training opportunities and to facilitate regional and international collaborations; investment in a regional hub, or centre of excellence for marine robotic technology; early adoption of newly emerging smaller, cheaper autonomous technologies; investment in local skills and support facilities to aid local buy-in and acceptance while supporting regional capacity. تتمتع الروبوتات البحرية بالقدرة على تعزيز البحوث البحرية لمنظمة الويبو لتحسين التكيف الإقليمي مع التحديات التي يطرحها تغير المناخ من خلال توفير قدرة بحثية معززة تتجاوز متطلبات البنية التحتية باهظة الثمن، مثل سفن الأبحاث الكبيرة. تختبر هذه الورقة هذه الإمكانات وتقيم استعداد مجتمعات WIO لتبني تقنيات مستقلة لتلبية أولويات أبحاثها البحرية. نطبق مجموعة من التحليلات على دراسة حالة الروبوتات البحرية التي أجريت في المياه المحيطة بجزيرة بيمبا، وهي جزء من أرخبيل زنجبار، في تنزانيا في عام 2019. شكلت الحملة جزءًا من مشروع متعدد الجنسيات يركز على زيادة قدرة WIO على مواجهة تحديات الأمن الغذائي واستدامة المحيطات. أدى برنامج المشاركة المجتمعية مع ستة مجتمعات ساحلية تنزانية إلى تغييرات إيجابية في المواقف تجاه الروبوتات البحرية مع الزيادات المبلغ عنها في فهم وقبول هذه التقنيات. تم تقليل الاشتباه في الروبوتات وتم تسجيل خطر أقل لإزالة المعدات التشغيلية بعد توفير المواد التعليمية. يُظهر تحليل التكلفة والمخاطر والفوائد أن الروبوتات البحرية يُنظر إليها على أنها توفر فوائد عالية المستوى، ولكنها تأتي بتكلفة عالية يصعب تحقيقها باستخدام التمويل الوطني أو الإقليمي. يُظهر تقييم لقدرة المعاهد البحرية التابعة للمنظمة على اعتماد مثل هذه التقنيات أنه قبل هذا العمل، كان هناك عدد قليل من المهارات أو البنية التحتية المتعلقة بالروبوتات البحرية المتاحة للباحثين وأكد كذلك أن فرص التمويل كان يُنظر إليها على أنها غير متاحة إلى حد كبير على المستويات المؤسسية أو الوطنية أو الإقليمية أو الدولية. ومع ذلك، كشفت الردود الواردة من الشركاء الإقليميين بعد الانتهاء من دراسة الحالة عن ارتفاع في القدرات المتصورة، لا سيما فيما يتعلق بالوصول إلى البنية التحتية والخبرات وكذلك الدعم وفرص التمويل على كل مستوى. تبين أن دراسة الحالة المقدمة كانت دليلاً قيّماً على فوائد استخدام الروبوتات البحرية لتلبية متطلبات أبحاث المحيطات الساحلية لمنظمة WIO، وتبين أن القدرة الإقليمية قد زادت بشكل كبير ضمن مجموعة واسعة من المعاهد البحرية التي تم مسحها طوال فترة دراسة الحالة. توضح هذه الدراسة أن اتخاذ خطوات مبكرة نحو اعتماد الروبوتات البحرية المستقلة قد زاد من قدرة البحوث البحرية الإقليمية للمنظمة العالمية للملكية الفكرية وزاد من ثقة واستعداد الباحثين المحليين للبحث عن حلول بديلة لتحديات البحوث البحرية المستمرة. تشمل التوصيات المتعلقة بالإجراءات المستقبلية التي ستستمر في زيادة القدرة والاستعداد للاعتماد الإقليمي للروبوتات البحرية الاستثمار على المستويات المحلية والوطنية والإقليمية لتوفير فرص تدريب يمكن الوصول إليها ولتسهيل التعاون الإقليمي والدولي ؛ والاستثمار في مركز إقليمي أو مركز امتياز لتكنولوجيا الروبوتات البحرية ؛ والاعتماد المبكر للتقنيات المستقلة الأصغر والأرخص الناشئة حديثًا ؛ والاستثمار في المهارات المحلية ومرافق الدعم للمساعدة في المشاركة والقبول المحليين مع دعم القدرات الإقليمية.

SUMMARYBecause the Anthropocene by definition is an epoch during which environmental change is largely anthropogenic and driven by social, economic, psychological and political forces, environmental social scientists can effectively analyse human behaviour and knowledge systems in this context. In this subject review, we summarize key ways in which the environmental social sciences can better inform fisheries management policy and practice and marine conservation in the Anthropocene. We argue that environmental social scientists are particularly well positioned to synergize research to fill the gaps between: (1) local behaviours/needs/worldviews and marine resource management and biological conservation concerns; and (2) large-scale drivers of planetary environmental change (globalization, affluence, technological change, etc.) and local cognitive, socioeconomic, cultural and historical processes that shape human behaviour in the marine environment. To illustrate this, we synthesize the roles of various environmental social science disciplines in better understanding the interaction between humans and tropical marine ecosystems in developing nations where issues arising from human–coastal interactions are particularly pronounced. We focus on: (1) the application of the environmental social sciences in marine resource management and conservation; (2) the development of ‘new’ socially equitable marine conservation; (3) repopulating the seascape; (4) incorporating multi-scale dynamics of marine social–ecological systems; and (5) envisioning the future of marine resource management and conservation for producing policies and projects for comprehensive and successful resource management and conservation in the Anthropocene.

The Lake Kariba fishery is of regional importance; it accounts for 35% of the total Zambian fish production. However, emerging evidence in the recent decades suggests that the fishery is facing socio-economic and environmental challenges. Using Ostrom’s framework for analysing socio-ecological systems, we examined the social, economic, and environmental problems faced by the fishing communities in Lake Kariba. The framework links various social, economic, and ecological factors to devise a sustainable fisheries management plan. A combination of survey questionnaires, focus group discussions, observations, and key informant interviews were used to assess this sustainability challenge. The data collected were subjected to bivariate and descriptive analysis. The results obtained did not show a significant decline in fish production over the past 13 years (R2 Linear = 0.119, p = 0.248). However, the experts and the fishers have reported declining trends in valuable fish species such as Oreochromis mortimeri, compounded by the increased fishing efforts (X2 = 180.14, p value = ˂ 0.00001). The key threats identified include: overfishing, weak institutions, and the introduction of invasive fish species such as Oreochromis niloticus. This situation has raised fears of fish depletion among the stakeholders. Based on these results, we recommend stronger institutional collaboration among the stakeholders in the riparian states and education that illustrates the global value of fisheries for food security and biodiversity conservation in pursuing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Inland fisheries in the Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA-TFCA) offer food security to the riverine communities across the region. They also contribute towards the attainment of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 1 and 15, which aim to alleviate poverty and maintain biodiversity conservation. Despite this significant role, the fisheries have suffered severe declines in the previous decades due to multiple factors, such as overfishing and poor legislation. Furthermore, climate change is exerting pressure by altering the ecology and productivity of the river systems. The unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have further constrained management efforts. Attempts to address these challenges have pointed towards transboundary fisheries management as a silver bullet in moving towards sustainable fisheries management. However, the implementation of this strategy in the region has encountered numerous roadblocks, thereby subjecting the river ecosystem to a wider environmental threat, with dire consequences on livelihoods. This paper reviews existing management and governance structures together with key informant interviews to elicit primary and secondary data essential for management at the regional level. The study identifies conflicting regulations, and inadequate policies and institutions across the region as major bottlenecks affecting the successful implementation of transboundary fisheries management. Finally, the paper offers some suggestions for the improvement of fisheries management in the region.

Maria A. Gasalla in OpenAIREMany coastal communities rely on living marine resources for livelihoods and food security. These resources are commonly under stress from overfishing, pollution, coastal development and habitat degradation. Climate change is an additional stressor beginning to impact coastal systems and communities, but may also lead to opportunities for some species and the people they sustain. We describe the research approach for a multi-country project, focused on the southern hemisphere, designed to contribute to improving fishing community adaptation efforts by characterizing, assessing and predicting the future of coastal-marine food resources, and co-developing adaptation options through the provision and sharing of knowledge across fast-warming marine regions (i.e. marine ‘hotspots’). These hotspots represent natural laboratories for observing change and concomitant human adaptive responses, and for developing adaptation options and management strategies. Focusing on adaptation options and strategies for enhancing coastal resilience at the local level will contribute to capacity building and local empowerment in order to minimise negative outcomes and take advantage of opportunities arising from climate change. However, developing comparative approaches across regions that differ in political institutions, socio-economic community demographics, resource dependency and research capacity is challenging. Here, we describe physical, biological, social and governance tools to allow hotspot comparisons, and several methods to evaluate and enhance interactions within a multi-nation research team. Strong partnerships within and between the focal regions are critical to scientific and political support for development of effective approaches to reduce future vulnerability. Comparing these hotspot regions will enhance local adaptation responses and generate outcomes applicable to other regions.

de Pablo, Javier Fernández-López in OpenAIRELocal perceptions of environmental and climate change, as well as associated adaptations made by local populations, are fundamental for designing comprehensive and inclusive mitigation and adaptation plans both locally and nationally. In this paper, we analyze people's perceptions of environmental and climate-related transformations in communities across the Western Solomon Islands through ethnographic and geospatial methods. Specifically, we documented people's observed changes over the past decades across various environmental domains, and for each change, we asked respondents to identify the causes, timing, and people's adaptive responses. We also incorporated this information into a geographical information system database to produce broad-scale base maps of local perceptions of environmental change. Results suggest that people detected changes that tended to be acute (e.g., water clarity, logging intensity, and agricultural diseases). We inferred from these results that most local observations of and adaptations to change were related to parts of environment/ecosystem that are most directly or indirectly related to harvesting strategies. On the other hand, people were less aware of slower insidious/chronic changes identified by scientific studies. For the Solomon Islands and similar contexts in the insular tropics, a broader anticipatory adaptation planning strategy to climate change should include a mix of local scientific studies and local observations of ongoing ecological changes.

G. R. Watmough in OpenAIRECoastal communities are some of the most at-risk populations with respect to climate change impacts. It is therefore important to determine the vulnerability of such communities to co-develop viable adaptation options. Global efforts to address this issue include international scientific projects, such as Global Learning for Local Solutions (GULLS), which focuses on five fast warming regions of the southern hemisphere and aims to provide an understanding of the local scale processes influencing community vulnerability that can then be up-scaled to regional, country and global levels. This paper describes the development of a new social and ecological vulnerability framework which integrates exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity with the social livelihoods and food security approaches. It also measures community flexibility to understand better the adaptive capacity of different levels of community organization. The translation of the conceptual framework to an implementable method is described and its application in a number of “hotspot” countries, where ocean waters are warming faster than the rest of the world, is presented. Opportunities for cross-cultural comparisons to uncover similarities and differences in vulnerability and adaptation patterns among the study’s coastal communities, which can provide accelerated learning mechanisms to other coastal regions, are highlighted. The social and ecological framework and the associated survey approach allow for future integration of local-level vulnerability data with ecological and oceanographic models.

Community-based approaches are pursued in recognition of the need for place-based responses to environmental change that integrate local understandings of risk and vulnerability. Yet the potential for fair adaptation is intimately linked to how variations in perceptions of environmental change and risk are treated. There is, however, little empirical evidence of the extent and nature of variations in risk perception in and between multiple community settings. Here, we rely on data from 231 semi-structured interviews conducted in nine communities in Western Province, Solomon Islands, to statistically model different perceptions of risk and change within and between communities. Overall, people were found to be less likely to perceive environmental changes in the marine environment than they were for terrestrial systems. The distance to the nearest market town (which may be a proxy for exposure to commercial logging and degree of involvement with the market economy), and gender had the greatest overall statistical effects on perceptions of risk. Yet, we also find that significant environmental change is underreported in communities, while variations in perception are not always easily related to commonly assumed fault lines of vulnerability. The findings suggest that there is an urgent need for methods that engage with the drivers of perceptions as part of community-based approaches. In particular, it is important to explicitly account for place, complexity and diversity of environmental risk perceptions, and we reinforce calls to engage seriously with underlying questions of power, culture, identity and practice that influence adaptive capacity and risk perception.

Here we describe an interdisciplinary and multi-country initiative to develop rapid, participatory methods to assess the vulnerability of coastal communities and facilitate adaptation to climate change in data-poor regions. The methods were applied in Madagascar as a case study. The initiative centered on an exploratory research exercise in two communities in the south-west of Madagascar, a workshop held in Antananarivo in June 2016, combined with a component on communicating ocean science and climate change to stakeholders. It utilized innovative and rapid approaches to combine global and local skills and information on adaptation and resilience building, taking cognizance of national policies, and was based on the principles of a holistic, integrated and participatory approach. This paper summarizes the activities undertaken and assesses how effective they were in achieving the project goals, as well as presenting examples of the outputs obtained. The activities demonstrated the value of using existing high resolution global climate models for provision of information on future trends, and of including a traits-based ecological risk assessment as a standard component of vulnerability assessments. User-friendly qualitative modeling activities helped to consolidate holistic, integrated understanding of selected fisheries. The value of assessing the importance and resilience of supply chains and taking the local management measures and institutions into account were validated. The outcomes of the initiative reinforced the principle that the cumulative ecological and social impacts of individual stressors and drivers on marine-dependent communities must be addressed, including climate-change related stressors. Assessments of vulnerability and adaptation planning should be forward-looking and consider likely changes in the future. They must also be done with participation by local experts and stakeholders to ensure knowledge exchange, local capacity-building and ownership and that outputs are rooted in the local realities, are accepted as being legitimate, and reinforce and complement relevant legal frameworks and laws.
