New coastal and marine management strategies have recently been developed in many countries and regions. From an
ecosystem approach perspective, the aim of such strategies is the maintenance of ecosystem integrity while enabling the sustainable
use of ecosystem goods and services. There is, however, a need for harmonized definitions and standardized processes to deal not only
with the interjurisdictional and multidisciplinary complexities that are associated with such strategies but also with the extensive
timelines and resources implicated in the planning and implementation of these strategies. The ecosystem-based management system
proposed here is based on three pillars that facilitate the integration of an ecosystem approach to coastal and oceans policy development,
regardless of the ecosystem or administrative scales. The managerial pillar is based on classical risk-management systems that
incorporate environmental considerations and objectives within a continuous improvement cycle of adaptive management. The
managerial pillar is supported by governance structures that provide oversight and thereby ensure that planning and implementation
activities adhere to modern environmental principles. The information pillar ensures that data and scientific advice are based on current
knowledge, and the participation pillar brings together communication and consultation requirements as indicated by the principles
of the ecosystem approach.
This work was carried out within the framework of the EU-FP7
project Knowledge-Based Sustainable Management for Europe’s
Seas (KnowSeas, grant contract 226675) which aimed to develop
a comprehensive scientific knowledge base and provide practical
guidance for the application of the ecosystem approach to the
sustainable development of Europe’s regional seas.
