IS CARBON REMOVAL DELAYING EMISSION REDUCTIONS? |
Carbon dioxide removal is rapidly becoming a key focus in climate research and politics. This is raising concerns of “moral hazard” or “mitigation deterrence,” that is, the risk that promises of and/or efforts to pursue carbon removal end up reducing or delaying near-term mitigation efforts. Some, however, contest this risk, arguing that it is overstated or lacking evidence. In this review, we explore the reasons behind the disagreement in the literature.... |

TOWARDS RESILIENCE-BASED MANAGEMENT OF MARINE CAPTURE FISHERIES |
The world faces major risks in ensuring the sustainability and on-going socio-economic benefits from its marine capture fisheries (MCFs). Key drivers of risks for MCFs include: overharvesting, bycatch, illegal fishing, habitat loss and damage, climate change, and marine pollution. These risks threaten the livelihoods of the hundreds of millions of households and the nutrition of billions of people who depend on fish as a key source of protein. Resilience-based management offers an approach to respond to risks. Here, we review how might resilience contribute to the sustainability of fish stocks and evaluate the implications for net economic returns under alternative management strategies ... |

CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN MARINE PROTECTED AREAS AND THE ‘PROTECTION PARADOX’ |
Restricting human activities through Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is assumed to create more resilient biological communities with a greater capacity to resist and recover following climate events. Here we review the evidence linking protection from local pressures (e.g., fishing and habitat destruction) with increased resilience. Despite strong theoretical underpinnings, studies have only rarely attributed resilience responses to the recovery of food webs and habitats, and increases in the diversity of communities and populations. When detected, resistance to ocean warming and recovery after extreme events in MPAs have small effect sizes against a backdrop of natural variability ... |

INTEGRATED BEACH MANAGEMENT IN LARGE COASTAL CITIES. A REVIEW |
Beach management in large coastal cities is little studied.
Despite the widespread diffusion of the principles of integrated management, sectoral approaches dominate.
City is rarely more than a contextual in most of the papers.
City-beach interactions little studied and poorly treated as a whole.
Lack of an integrated management model specific to beaches in large cities. |

MANGROVE DISPERSAL DISRUPTED BY PROJECTED CHANGES IN GLOBAL SEAWATER DENSITY |
The degree to which the distribution of mangrove forests will be impacted by climate change depends on the dispersal and establishment of sea-faring propagules, which drive forest rejuvenation, gene flow and range expansion. Climate change affects sea surface density via changes in temperature and salinity. However, these changes have not been mapped and it remains unclear how these factors may impact mangrove propagule dispersal. Here, we provide evidence for strong warming of coastal mangrove waters and elevated geographic variability in surface ocean density under representative concentration pathway RCP 8.5 by 2100.... |

ASSESSING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE RESILIENCE IN TERMS OF ITS SERVICE-PROVIDING CAPACITY IN COASTAL BANGLADESH: A SYNTHESIS OF GEOSPATIAL TECHNIQUES AND SOCIAL RESPONSES |
Lack of adequate infrastructure, especially in the coastal regions of developing countries, limits the capacity of households to prevent, cope with, and recover from the adverse effects of natural hazards. The services provided by critical infrastructure (CI) contribute to the overall resilience of marginalized coastal households to natural hazards. CI, in turn, may itself be resilient (or not). Resilient CI is capable of providing services to meet the community's demand for that service. This research developed and tested an innovative framework for assessing CI resilience in terms of services it was capable to provide to coastal residents in three separate phases (before, during, and after) of Cyclone Sidr... |

oral reefs—which provide valued ecosystem services such as fisheries, coastal protection, and tourism—are threatened by the effects of increased sea surface temperatures, sea level rise, and intensifying storms. These large-scale stressors are interacting with local stressors such as pollution, overfishing, and recreational misuse to drive ongoing and accelerating declines in coral reef ecosystems. Thus, there is a rising urgency to design and implement climate change adaptation measures that account for, and adjust to, the combined effects of climate change and local stressors in coral reef protection and restoration efforts... |

PIECING TOGETHER THE DATA OF THE U.S. MARINE AQUACULTURE PUZZLE |
Aquaculture recently became the main source of global seafood production and many countries, including the United States, see potential in marine aquaculture to sustainably fill growing demand. The U.S. supports the majority of its seafood consumption through imports, and therefore identifying bottlenecks to domestic aquaculture growth is a priority at the federal and state level. Yet, one critical aspect that appears not yet addressed is the quality and accessibility of marine aquaculture data. In this study we conducted the first multi-state synthesis and comparison of the most comprehensive suite of species, volume, and value information on U.S. marine aquaculture over time, across the 23 marine coastal states. |

USING RESILIENCE ASSESSMENTS TO INFORM THE MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION OF CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS |
Climate change is causing the decline of coral reef ecosystems globally. Recent research highlights the importance of reducing CO2 emissions in combination with implementing local management actions to support reef health and recovery, particularly actions that protect sites which are more resilient to extreme events. Resilience assessments quantify the ecological, social, and environmental context of reefs through the lens of resilience, i.e., the capacity of a system to absorb or withstand stressors such that the system maintains its structure and functions and has the capacity to adapt to future disturbances and changes. Resilience assessments are an important tool to help marine managers and decision makers anticipate changes, identify areas with high survival prospects, and prioritize management actions to support resilience ... |

Here we report on a variety of approaches and cases studies aimed at maintaining ecosystem resilience in Poole Harbour Special Protection Area (SPA) on the south coast of England by (i) creating new lagoon habitats (ii) restoring undesignated, degraded and polluted lagoons (iii) identifying and survey new coastal lagoon habitats. Although sea level rise presents considerable challenges for the conservation of these habitats, new managed realignment projects and set-back schemes offer significant opportunities for the creation of lagoons. A principle of continual review, monitoring and pro-active spatial planning needs to be extended to the design of other regional and national coastal MPA networks to maintain ecosystem integrity and resilience. |

APPLYING TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE TO RESILIENCE IN COASTAL RURAL VILLAGES |
The Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) pointed out that since 1950, observations of various aspects of the climate system have revealed many changes in extreme weather events. Global climate change has increased both the intensity and frequency of disaster events, causing serious impacts worldwide. Because most people and economic activities are clustered in urban areas, most studies focus on how to enhance the resilience of urban areas, often overlooking the practicable resilience in rural areas, especially in radically different areas, such as coastal and alpine areas. There should be a fundamentally different resilience approaches in areas with low population densities, weak institutional capacities, and limited financial feasibility. The application of local and indigenous knowledge as an adaptation strategy for climate change to achieve the goal of balance between humans and nature has also received considerable attention. Therefore, this study applied in-depth interviews in the coastal rural village of Guogou in Taiwan. The results showed that practices utilizing local and indigenous knowledge have helped locals effectively mitigate the impacts of disasters and encouraged residents to live in areas with high flood exposure. Overall, the application of local and indigenous knowledge in such rural areas might be a possible solution to enhance local resilience. |

FINANCING COASTAL RESILIENCE BY COMBINING NATURE-BASED RISK REDUCTION WITH INSURANCE |
This article explores a resilience solution that combines risk transfer (e.g., insurance) with risk reduction (e.g., hazard mitigation), which have often been treated as two separate mechanisms for disaster risk management. The combined mechanism could help align environmental and risk management goals and create opportunities for public and private investment in nature-based projects. We assessed this resilience insurance with hypothetical cases for coral reef restoration. Under conservative assumptions, 44% of the initial reef restoration costs would be covered just by insurance premium reductions in the first 5 years, with benefits amounting >6 times the total costs over 25 years. We also test the sensitivity to key factors such as project cost, risk reduction potential, insurance structure, economic exposure and discount rates. The resilience insurance mechanism is applicable to many coastlines and can help finance nature-based adaptation. |

COORDINATED PLANNING EFFORT AS MULTILEVEL CLIMATE GOVERNANCE: INSIGHTS FROM COASTAL RESILIENCE AND CLIMATE ADAPTATION |
Using flood risks and potential impacts of sea level change within the U.S. Great Lakes region over the past 20 years, we explore the association between coordinated planning effort as a form of multilevel climate governance and community resilience attributes under climate risk. Content analysis and coastal adaptation principles allowed us to evaluate coordinated planning effort at county and state levels to derive a horizontal or vertical coordination index which was then used to evaluate if synergies generated among plans were correlated with climate risk mitigation and enhanced adaptation to climate change. Further, we incorporated evaluation results of varied community resilience characteristics and coordinated planning effort metrics in the context of climate change. Empirical results suggest that the extent of coordinated planning effort at the county and state levels is closely associated with coastal community resilience and climate change adaptation.

CORAL REEF MICROORGANISMS IN A CHANGING CLIMATE |
Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, yet they have suffered tremendous losses due to anthropogenic disturbances and are predicted to be one of the most adversely affected habitats under future climate change conditions. Coral reefs can be viewed as microbially driven ecosystems that rely on the efficient capture, retention, and recycling of nutrients in order to thrive in oligotrophic waters. Microorganisms play vital roles in maintaining holobiont health and ecosystem resilience under environmental stress; however, they are also key players in positive feedback loops that intensify coral reef decline, with cascading effects on biogeochemical cycles and marine food webs. There is an urgent need to develop a fundamental understanding of the complex microbial interactions within coral reefs and their role in ecosystem acclimatization, and it is important to include microorganisms in reef conservation in order to secure a future for these unique environments. |

Oyster reefs parallel to paleovalley margins receive significant SGD.
In semiarid estuaries, SGD nutrient fluxes at a reef area rival riverine input.
SGD-derived fluxes support the reef area estuary water nutrient inventories.
SGD-enhanced primary production support suspension feeding by oysters. |

ADVANCING CORAL REEF GOVERNANCE INTO THE ANTHROPOCENE |
The unprecedented global heatwave of 2014–2017 was a defining event for many ecosystems. Widespread degradation caused by coral bleaching, for example, highlighted the vulnerability of hundreds of millions of people dependent on reefs for their livelihoods, well-being, and food security. Scientists and policy makers are now reassessing long-held assumptions about coping with anthropogenic climate change, particularly the assumption that strong local institutions can maintain ecological and social resilience through ecosystem-based management, adaptation, and restoration. Governance is struggling to address the new normal as ecosystem assemblages transform to novel configurations. A central challenge for policy makers in the Anthropocene is navigating environmental crises and coping with societal insecurity and change. Ecosystem governance needs a new paradigm to embrace rapid change and shape future trajectories. In this Perspective, we focus on coral reefs as vanguards for governance transformation. We explain the spatial, temporal, and political dynamics of reefs as they respond to climate change and outline a new governance paradigm applicable to all ecosystems. |

FISH ASSEMBLAGES OF THREE COMMON ARTIFICIAL REEF DESIGNS DURING EARLY COLONIZATION |
Fish abundance and biomass differed per artificial reef type.
This difference is driven by the availability of small shelters.
Artificial reef deployment can be more efficient by choosing better performing or cheaper designs. |

DIFFERENTIAL DISTURBANCE EFFECTS AND PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY AMONG OUTPLANTED CORALS AT PATCH AND FORE REEF SITES |
Practitioners have outplanted tens of thousands of nursery-reared coral colonies for restoration purposes, and interest in outplanting is increasing. However, restoration outcomes on natural reefs can be variable, and genotype- and site-specific differences have been reported. To systematically explore these differences, performance of restored corals was compared at two site types, and intraspecific variation in phenotype among six genotypes previously characterized in a nursery was simultaneously assessed... |

CORAL DISEASE CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES, AND RISK WITHIN CORAL RESTORATION |
Conservation efforts coupled with local-scale restoration have now become a high priority for coral reefs worldwide.
Coral mortality and disease events have remained high when corals are returned to their reef habitat.
Restoration efforts are not yet able to manage mortality events, or the risks of disease spread to neighboring reefs.
There are ongoing shortfalls in our understanding of both coral disease and mortality, particularly when applied to coral outplanting and mariculture.
Understanding the underlying microbial, biological, and environmental drivers of mortality and disease in restoration programs provides a means by which to develop optimal strategies to support coral survival. |

DEVELOPMENT OF A REEF FISH BIOLOGICAL CONDITION GRADIENT MODEL WITH QUANTITATIVE DECISION RULES FOR THE PROTECTION AND RESTORATION OF CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS |
An integrated ecologically-broad systems approach enhances coral reef ecosystem protection.
Biological Condition Gradients track ecosystem status as a function of anthropogenic stress.
The reef fish BGC model was effective in identification of impaired coral reef ecosystems
The reef fish BGC model has potential global application when calibrated with local data. |

TROPHIC INTERACTIONS IN CORAL REEF RESTORATION |
Ecology plays a central role in the management and conservation of ecosystems. However, as coral restoration emerges as an increasingly popular method of confronting the global decline of tropical coral reefs, an ecological basis to guide restoration remains under-developed. Here, we examine potential contributions that trophic ecology can make to reef restoration efforts. |

CHANGES IN MOTILE BENTHIC FAUNAL COMMUNITY STRUCTURE FOLLOWING LARGE-SCALE OYSTER REEF RESTORATION IN A SUBTROPICAL ESTUARY |
Motile benthic organisms are one important metric for assessing restoration success.
Convergence between restored and natural motile oyster reef communities took <22 mo.
Juvenile organisms were largely responsible for initial colonization of restored reef.
Small increases in vertical relief greatly increased biomass at restored oyster reef.
High-relief areas = greater oyster growth, higher rugosity, and reduced sedimentation. |

ENHANCING THE RESILIENCE OF HIGH-VULNERABILITY, LOW-ELEVATION COASTAL ZONES |
This paper aims to explore how resilience to climate change can be achieved and optimised within an example of a complex, high-vulnerability and low-elevation coastal zone. In Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland, a completed INTERREG project provided a framework for resilience planning in a complex, multifaceted environment, where official bodies, NGOs, academics and the community already work together productively. A range of approaches to coping with climate change in Uist is reviewed, some of these originating from within the community, and the local situation is discussed in the context of the extent to which resilience theory and national policy intertwine. These approaches identify and combine nature-based solutions and compatible engineering-based solutions, demonstrating how resilience can be achieved and enhanced in a vulnerable area via sustained engagement with local communities backed by peer-reviewed research and complying with the policy context. |
