Applying Ecosystem Services to the Practice of Coastal Management: An Overview

In the coastal science and management community of practice, the concept of ecosystem services (ES) is an approach to valuation that is growing and developing, through practice, to mean different things to different people. It is for these reasons that The Coastal Society, in partnership with the Coastal Management Journal editorial board, developed a special edition of the journal with the theme “Applying Ecosystem Services to the Practice of Coastal Management – Understanding Values.” This special edition sought papers on ES research and practice that examined the mix of ecological and social science research, stakeholder engagement, and communication that occurred throughout these efforts. In this introductory essay, the special edition co-editors and colleagues explore common themes across these papers, which span a range of location, practices, and experiences. Themes include the use of the ES approach, methodologies developed and deployed, connecting ES with people and society, reflections on challenges experienced, and reflections on applications for decision-making and management. This paper concludes with reflections on work that is yet to be done, in ES research, training, and application, to improve methods of measuring and communicating the values of our coasts and thus better prepare managers for the complexities of 21st-century management challenges.

Resilient Societies, Vulnerable People: Coping with North Sea Floods Before 1800*

On Christmas Day 1717 the North Sea area was hit by the most deadly flood disaster in its entire history, which took the life of more than 10,000 people. Present-day concerns over climate change and the recurrence of extreme weather conditions might tempt historians to discuss floods like 1717 in terms of the overall vulnerability and resilience of societies or ‘socio-environmental systems’. However, in medieval and early modern Europe it is hard to find examples of societies which did not prove resilient in the face of flooding: through absorption or adaptation, coastal society as a whole was perfectly able to overcome periodic episodes of flooding even when such episodes were sometimes perceived as real catastrophes. At the same time, however, coastal societies differed greatly in the number of people exposed to harm and suffering. Processes of political and economic marginalization, as well as unsustainable forms of land-use, turned some people into victims of flood disasters, while others escaped. Hence only by moving discussions of vulnerability and resilience from the level of societies to the level of people, can a better understanding of natural hazards and disasters in the past and at present be achieved.

PELAPISAN SOSIAL-BUDAYA PESISIR KELURAHAN MANGKANG KULON, SEMARANG

The purpose of this study is to identify economic conditions of the fishers and fish farmers and to understand the social stratification and work relation among the coastal society in Mangkang Kulon, a coastal area, with the main income almost entirely dependent on the sea and coast land. Social stratification is a society's categorization of people into socioeconomic strata, based upon their occupation and income, wealth and social status, or derived power (social and political). As such, social stratification is the relative position of person or group within a sociocultural system, category, geographic region, or social unit. Social stratification is the distinction of population or society into classes in multilevel classes (hierarchical); its manifestation is the presence of the upper class, middle class, and lower class.Primary data were collected from the local fishers. Four fishers and two brackish water pond cultivators were in-depth interviewed. Secondary data (village monograph) were collected from the village office. Data were analyzed descriptively. There were three social stratifications found out and formed in the area of Rukun Warga I Mangkang Kulon based on the income among coastal society. First the upper strata, which consists of gogol tambak, second the middle strata which consists of tambak pandega, third the lower strata of individual petty fishers and tambak manual workers.

Economic development as a way to fight against poverty in a coastal society

This research is based on the phenomenon of low construction in coastal village areas, primarily in relation to the economic development sector. This study was conducted in order to determine the low economic level of coastal rural communities and its abundant natural resources (SDA). The government has already issued a public policy related to economic empowerment and coastal zone management. However, the coastal village community’s economy remains very low. The qualitative and phenomenological approach was used to obtain the findings about why society in coastal villages is economically low level. The main cause of the economic problem was the lack of ability of the public to capture the business opportunities that existed. In addition, the constant hereditary lifestyle of the coastal people is one of the triggers of their low economic power. There is a lack of distinct empowerment by the government in order to improve their economy. SDA has not been optimally empowering coastal areas by way of the village communities of the coast and there is a lack of village infrastructure. The concrete participation of the local government is expected in relation to the handling of economic empowerment. One solution that can be undertaken is the revamping of public policy related to the development of coastal villages. The completion of the installation program for paving and street lighting is also a priority. The development and empowerment of the economy should be done immediately. Another thing that can be done by the government is the optimisation of the religious and beach tourism there.

Cartographic Depictions of Louisiana Land Loss: A Tool for Sustainable Policies

For more than half a century, scientists in Louisiana (USA) have been mapping coastal land loss. Cartographic depictions were initially important to expose potential loss of off-shore oil revenue tied to the retreating shoreline. For the last 40 years, attention has shifted to issues related to preserving a valuable ecology and protecting the coastal society from rising seas and storm surge. This paper reviews 60 years of land loss mapping as a tool to drive public policy directed at preserving and restoring the state’s coastal wetlands. It highlights the power of visualizations in fostering public awareness in an environmental crisis and their value in motivating more sustainable public policies. It also provides a critique of the shifting emphasis in the public narrative away from the factual history of land loss to imagined future losses.

PETIK LAUT: Social-Ideological Accommodation in the Fishermen Community of Kedungrejo Muncar Banyuwangi

This research aims to showing how accommodating the differences of two traditions ideologically and socially can create tolerance and peace in a plural society. The plurality of Muncar such ethnicity, religion, culture and class-economy could protect the conflict. They more choose the public interest than personal interest. The social reality of Muncar is showing with ritual Petik Laut which combines between Islamic and Osing tradition. Cosmologically both of them are different, Islam believes in the singular God and the Osing believes in the plural God. The main problem of this research is how the ideological and social accommodation between the Islamic and Osing tradition can work. So my conceptual framework of research that syncretism is the accommodation of differences which can create society to be peaceful. And the ritual collective is the combining media of how the differences because the ritual has the collective goal which is reached by society as the actors.This research shows that the differences of religion and ideology in the multi-ethnical and cultural society have potentials for conflict. But the conflict can be protected by involving the social agents of society like santri and kejawen in order to avoid riot. The ideological problem is significant and sensitive and it is easy to create raise strong emotions among the fishermen. The wrong interpretation of ideology can be fatal. However the coastal society generally is known as less temperamental and open-minded person and permissive for the religious and ideological plurality. Their attitudes which want to show ‘dignity’ (jati diri) are the characteristic of the coastal society. This attitude manifests in the petik laut ritual by involving the symbols of religions, cultures and ethnicities in Kedungrejo.The Kedungrejo society majority is Islam but they believe in Ratu Reja Mina as the fish Queen although it is the Osing belief. The honor for the Sayid Yusuf as the historical figure of the Petik Laut history is done together by them. These beliefs complete the Islamic belief for Prophet Hidir. The coastal cosmology of Kedungrejo is the result of accommodating between Islam and Osing. So it became the local ideology which can avoid the conflict. Because left one of two ideologies can create the ideological conflict in society. They are still doing the process for the survival society life peacefully although they have the different interpretation about ritual petik laut. The conflict of economy as the consequence of the work system between jaragan and pandiga, and the environmental conflict between fabric and society can assimilate in this ritual because the social function of petik laut can accommodate all of the elements of society even religion to include in this ritual. So the person who has the certain conflict became the ritual as the mediation for building up the social cohesion (silaturohmi) among the fishermen community, religious institution and the organization of the pesantren’s alumni. From the social accommodation, the social cohesion came back to unity so that peace can return to Kedungrejo.Â

Post-Installation: Insight of coastal-area society in Hybrid Electric Power Systems (HEPS) of Pantai Baru, Yogyakarta

The use of PAR method reversed the top down logic by the Indonesian Ministry of Research and Technology with the bottom up logic, adjust the people’s needs which processed from the grassroots. This research was conducted in three years, using three approaches; exploration, reflection, and action. Through these approaches, it was possible for the researchers to understand the actual condition of coastal society and chose the women groups as the main informants as well as the main group which got the biggest benefits of the Hybrid Electric Power Systems (HEPS), they were capable of giving fast responses on the changes happened through the culinary, tourism, fishpond, etc. This condition emphasized both the central role of women and the knot of all dynamics of the HEPS installation. In conclusion, women groups positioned themselves as the transformation agent of the usage of this renewable energy around HEPS Pantai Baru. As the main beneficiaries, women groups had improved their capability to adapt. It increased the income, consumption level, etc. Despite the success of the adaptation, they were still failing their position as the agents and users of the renewable energy. Their existence was limited merely to objects/beneficiaries, instead of being the subjects/actors of the HEPS technology. This study is essential as a data baseline, prepare the policy of technology intervention as well renewable energy campaign.

Environmental Management in Coastal Louisiana: A Historical Review

ABSTRACT Colten, C.E., 2017. Environmental management in coastal Louisiana: A historical review. A series of state and federal environmental management policies have been implemented in Louisiana's coastal region over the last several centuries that have directly affected vulnerable coastal residents. The policies have shifted primary attention from flood protection, to wetlands reclamation, to wildlife conservation, to wetlands restoration. Adoption and implementation of these policies have seldom factored in the impacts of management regimes on the coastal society. This paper reviews the changing environmental management regimes, how they have affected access to natural resources in the region, the adaptations made by resource-dependent societies in response to these management changes, the role of public engagement in planning environmental management, and the lack of provisions in the plans to accommodate the human adjustments they impel.

The Neoliberal Reorganization of the Greenlandic Coastal Greenland Halibut Fishery in an Era of Climate and Governance Change

Greenlandic fisheries and fisheries governance are in the midst of change. The effects of climate change can be readily seen in glacier melt and differences in sea ice. Meanwhile, significant changes in fisheries governance are seen through the introduction of new management plans in which the trickle-down of neoliberal ideas are evident. The most recent and significant changes taking place currently are in the coastal Greenland Halibut fishery where restructuring is expected to provide additional revenue for the government. This article presents the 2012 Coastal Greenland Halibut Management Plan, explores the alterations made to plan regulations in 2014, and discusses the implications of the ongoing reform process. The changes being made to coastal Greenland Halibut fishery management highlight a difficult balancing act between the neoliberal reorganization of the fisheries and the sustainability of coastal society and culture. The article concludes that decisions on fisheries regulations will remain in ...
