Abstract	The marine environment is a complex system formed by interactions between ecological structure and functioning, physico-chemical processes and socio-economic systems. An increase in competing marine uses and users requires a holistic approach to marine management which considers the environmental, economic and societal impacts of all activities. If managed sustainably, the marine environment will deliver a range of ecosystem services which lead to benefits for society. In order to understand the complexity of the system, the DPSIR (Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response) approach has long been a valuable problem-structuring framework used to assess the causes, consequences and responses to change in a holistic way. Despite DPSIR being used for a long time, there is still confusion over the definition of its terms and so to be appropriate for current marine management, we contend that this confusion needs to be addressed. Our viewpoint advocates that DPSIR should be extended to DAPSI(W)R(M) (pronounced dap-see-worm) in which Drivers of basic human needs require Activities which lead to Pressures. The Pressures are the mechanisms of State change on the natural system which then leads to Impacts (on human Welfare). Those then require Responses (as Measures). Furthermore, because of the complexity of any managed sea area in terms of multiple Activities, there is the need for a linked-DAPSI(W)R(M) framework, and then the connectivity between marine ecosystems and ecosystems in the catchment and further at sea, requires an interlinked, nested-DAPSI(W)R(M) framework to reflect the continuum between adjacent ecosystems. Finally, the unifying framework for integrated marine management is completed by encompassing ecosystem structure and functioning, ecosystem services and societal benefits. Hence, DAPSI(W)R(M) links the socio-ecological system of the effects of changes to the natural system on the human uses and benefits of the marine system. However, to deliver these sustainably in the light of human activities requires a Risk Assessment and Risk Management framework; the ISO-compliant Bow-Tie method is used here as an example. Finally, to secure ecosystem health and economic benefits such as Blue Growth, successful, adaptive and sustainable marine management Responses (as Measures) are delivered using the 10-tenets, a set of facets covering all management disciplines and approaches.

Article ; Online: Strengthening coastal zone management in the Wadden Sea by applying ‘knowledge-practice interfaces’

Puente Rodriguez, D. / Giebels, D. / de Jonge, V.N.

Ocean & Coastal Management

Abstract	Knowledge management (e.g., production, mobilization, integration) is key to achieve socio-ecological sustainability and to handle the many challenges that distress coastal zones – e.g. finding a balance between ecological conservation and economic development. Building on the concept of science-policy interface, we propose a new term here which is more (semantically) inclusive, the knowledge-practice interface. This article aims to articulate the most relevant elements of a general framework of the knowledge-practice interface for enhancing the management of knowledge in coastal zone management. To do this, three case studies in the Wadden Sea area are analysed focussing on knowledge and practice. First, the habitat restoration of the houting species in Denmark; second, the monitoring and management aspects related to the concentrations of suspended matter in the Ems estuary (Germany and the Netherlands); and finally, the development of environmental management systems for ports in the Dutch Wadden Sea. The analysis of these three cases is conducted and the framework is built around four central questions: why, what, who, and how. The article concludes that scientific knowledge on its own is insufficient to achieve sustainability in coastal zones; participatory knowledge and practices are increasingly required to facilitate the integration of different types of knowledge (e.g. formal and informal), and the inclusion of different stakeholders to enhance integrated coastal zone management.

Abstract	The main goal of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) is to achieve good ecological status across European surface waters by 2015 and as such, it offers the opportunity and thus the challenge to improve the protection of our coastal systems. It is the main example for Europe's increasing desire to conserve aquatic ecosystems. Ironically, since c. 1975 the increasing adoption of EU directives has been accompanied by a decreasing interest of, for example, the Dutch government to assess the quality of its coastal and marine ecosystems. The surveillance and monitoring started in NL in 1971 has declined since the 1980s resulting in a 35% reduction of sampling stations. Given this and interruptions the remaining data series is considered to be insufficient for purposes other than trend analysis and compliance. The Dutch marine managers have apparently chosen a minimal (cost-effective) approach despite the WFD implicitly requiring the incorporation of the system's 'ecological complexity' in indices used to evaluate the ecological status of highly variable systems such as transitional and coastal waters. These indices should include both the community structure and system functioning and to make this really cost-effective a new monitoring strategy is required with a tailor-made programme. Since the adoption of the WFD in 2000 and the launching of the European Marine Strategy in 2002 (and the recently proposed Marine Framework Directive) we suggest reviewing national monitoring programmes in order to integrate water quality monitoring and biological monitoring and change from 'station oriented monitoring' to 'basin or system oriented monitoring' in combination with specific 'cause-effect' studies for highly dynamic coastal systems. Progress will be made if the collected information is integrated and aggregated in valuable tools such as structure- and functioning-oriented computer simulation models and Decision Support Systems. The development of ecological indices integrating community structure and system functioning, such as in Ecological Network Analysis, are proposed to meet a cost-effective approach at the national level and full assessment of the ecosystem status at the EU level. The WFD offers the opportunity to re-consider and re-invest in environmental research and monitoring. Using examples from the Netherlands and, to a lesser extent, the United Kingdom, the present paper therefore reviews marine monitoring and marine environmental research in combination and in the light of such major policy initiatives such as the WFD.

Abstract	The aim of this paper is to indicate the overall economic efficacy of competing uses of estuarine resources by integrating ecological value, water uses and ecosystem services into the DPSIR conceptual framework as an added value for policy making and management. The complex interactions between the socio-economic system and the ecosystem (as part of the ‘integral system’ as suggested by the second author before) require generic but still ‘tailor made’ techniques to quantify all relevant variables and to provide an integral view of the system’s status. One of the few techniques that can assist in structuring such complex data in an integrative way is the Drivers-Pressures-Status-Impacts-Responses (DPSIR) approach. Support and regulatory services (such as water supply and water quality) are essential to sustain crucial ecosystem processes and functions while the water required for human activities (water demand) is an essential system service. With the help of DPSIR, the main changes in the Mondego Estuary ecosystem (Portugal) were outlined, used as an illustrative example, and causes and effects described. Within the Mondego Estuary region the main water consumers are agriculture, industry, and households. Baseline scenarios predict an increase in water usage by mainly the touristic service sector. Our analysis illustrates that pressures from human population growth and related activities gradually increased over the studied period. Land-use patterns, diversion of freshwater flows, water pollution and morphological interventions directly caused physical, chemical, and biological modification and degradation. This consequently led to negative ecological and socio-economic impacts, such as eutrophication. The scenarios suggest an increased pressure based on an expected 8% annual population growth and an average annual decreased pressure of 5.2% per annum due to the current reduction in agriculture. The results show that understanding the water use-related complex and intricate trade-offs among ecological, social, and economic goals is fundamental in designing and implementing management policies and ecosystems restoration schemes.

Abstract	Stability is thought to rely on the richness (identity) and abundance of the species present in an ecosystem, where higher biodiversity promotes higher stability. Several attempts have been done to test this connection; however, there is still a lack of comprehension regarding the relation between biodiversity and stability. The stability concept is a collective term, defined via three fundamental properties: constancy, resilience and persistence. This manuscript uses theoretical and experimental evidence to explore the effects of biodiversity on estuarine stability, using the temporal stability (TS) measure as a proxy. In 1999 Tilman proposed the use of TS to test the diversity–stability hypothesis in a decade-long grassland experiment. Can TS be useful in estuarine systems? Our approach attempted to analyse estuarine stability from complementary perspectives by allowing the measurement of stability change (i) depending on species number and abundance; (ii) according to the different habitats of the same system; and (iii) disturbances influence. The question that imposed next was if this system property could be related with estuarine services provision. From this study, the main outcomes were that different TS values were found for the same abundance (N) values and the same was observed for species richness (S); TS maximum values were achieved at an intermediate diversity range; and TS increased with species abundance. In general, our results suggest that temporal stability might be useful to address sustainable management of estuarine systems.

Article ; Online: Long-term mean annual microphytobenthos chlorophyll a variation correlates with air temperature

Abstract	Long-term interannual variations in the mean microphytobenthos chlorophyll a (chl a) of the Ems estuary were investigated. Concentrations in the 1990s were on average 1.5 times higher than during the period from 1976 to 1978, but a trend in chl a over the entire period (1976 to 1999) was not found. In agreement with findings from the late 1970s, the mean chl a concentrations over the post 1990 period correlated significantly with the station elevation related exposure time. Over the entire 1976 to 1999 study period, the estuary mean annual chl a concentrations correlated strongly and significantly with the mean annual air temperature. Although the range of the variation in the mean annual air temperature of the studied years was only 7.5 to 10.2°C, it surprisingly corresponded with a ca. 2.5-fold variation in the mean annual microphytobenthos chl a. In addition to chl a, mean monthly C:chl a ratios from 1976 to 1977 also correlated positively with changes in temperature. Microphytobenthos carbon biomass [chl a × (C:chl a)] may, therefore, respond even stronger to air temperature than chl a does. The correlations are most likely a combination of direct temperature effects on microphytobenthos and stronger, probably complex, indirect temperature effects on the seasonal development and standing stock of young and adult grazers (bivalves) and their carnivores like the brown shrimp Crangon crangon.

Abstract	Large-scale losses of seagrass beds have been reported for decades and lead to numerous restoration programs. From worldwide scientific literature and 20 years of seagrass restoration research in the Wadden Sea, we review and evaluate the traditional guidelines and propose new guidelines for seagrass restoration. Habitat and donor selection are crucial: large differences in survival were found among habitats and among donor populations. The need to preferably transplant in historically confirmed seagrass habitats, and to collect donor material from comparable habitats, were underlined by our results. The importance of sufficient genetic variation of donor material and prevention of genetic isolation by distance was reviewed. The spreading of risks among transplantation sites, which differed in habitat characteristics (or among replicate sites), was positively evaluated. The importance of ecosystem engineering was shown in two ways: seagrass self-facilitation and facilitation by shellfish reefs. Seagrass self-facilitative properties may require a large transplantation scale or additional measures.
