Managing coastal resources in the 21st century

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment (2007)

Michael P. Weinstein Ronald C. Baird David O. Conover Matthias Groß Jozef Keulartz

Coastal ecosystems are increasingly dominated by humans. Consequently, the human dimensions of sustainability science have become an integral part of emerging coastal governance and management practices. But if we are to avoid the harsh lessons of land management, coastal decision makers must recognize that humans are one of the more coastally dependent species in the biosphere. Management responses must therefore confront both the temporal urgency and the very real compromises and sacrifices that will be necessary to achieve a sustainable coastal ecosystem, one that is economically feasible, socially just, and ecologically sound.

Restoration benefits in a watershed context

Journal of Coastal Research (2005)

John M. Teal Susan Peterson

Wetland restoration requires good science, good engineering, and political will. The process has evolved in fits and starts over the past 30+ years as scholars have enumerated the functions lost as a result of wetland destruction. Measuring effects of wetland restoration, especially watershed-wide effects, requires agreement among proponents on restoration goals. The goals should express a balance among ecological, social, political, and economic functions, and recognize that the functions are multi-dimensional and intertwined. A thorough ecological assessment of wetland restoration and monitoring should have a parallel component focusing on societal values as well as ecological values. Four U.S. watershed examples-The Mississippi River watershed, the Delaware Bay watershed, the Lower Fox River, Wisconsin, and South Cape Beach Marsh on Cape Cod, Massachusetts-illustrate the importance of the scale in restoration projects and the importance of measuring societal benefits from wetland restoration.
