Summary: The Philippine coastal marine ecosystem provides various ecosystem services and cultural ecosystem services (CES) are also important. Through interviews and participatory mapping, the CES provided by Taytay Bay were quantified and found to have specific spatial patterns and contribute to human wellbeing at a community level. The connection between cultural services and provisioning services needs to be evaluated holistically. Protecting key service-providing habitats leads to multiple benefits.

Summary: China's coastal areas are facing serious environmental degradation due to extensive economic development. To balance environmental sustainability and economic growth, China is implementing an "eco-civilization" strategy, with marine protected areas (MPAs) being seen as a way to achieve sustainable marine ecosystems. This study evaluated the effectiveness of three national MPAs in the Yangtze River Delta using a modified framework, finding that all three MPAs achieved satisfactory outcomes. However, improvements can still be made in institutional design principles and public participation. The study suggests developing cost and benefit indicators, clarifying the role of participation, and conducting regular environmental performance monitoring and assessment.

Summary: The Philippines, as a tropical archipelagic country, is particularly vulnerable to environmental changes affecting coastal and marine settings. A study conducted in 10 coastal communities in Palawan found that local populations are highly aware of the drivers and pressures threatening their livelihoods, health, and well-being, including factors such as urbanization and unsustainable fishing practices.

Summary: Marine protected areas are important for conservation, but the increase in fish biomass within MPAs creates incentives for poaching. Fishing activities persist in most MPAs worldwide, raising concerns about monitoring and enforcement. A proposal for a Conservation Finance Area (CFA) utilizes leased fishing zones within MPAs to finance monitoring and enforcement, leading to greater conservation success.

Summary: The study found that coastal communities have varying perceptions and expectations towards environmental issues, with hopes for positive developments in mangroves, beach trees, seagrass, seaweed farming, and drinking water quality, while anticipating slight deteriorations in plastic litter, wild fish, shellfish, and sewage pollution. Significant differences were also identified in how residents from different areas perceive their marine environment.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of considering social outcomes in MPA policy to improve outcomes. Trust in leaders was found to influence residents' perceptions of MPA benefits, with a positive correlation between alignment scores and trust. A scoring methodology was presented to quantitatively compare perceptions of residents and leaders regarding MPAs and tourism development.

Summary: Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are important tools for management and conservation, but assessments often lack simultaneous considerations of ecological and socio-economic outcomes. A transdisciplinary approach is needed to evaluate MPAs for their ability to protect biodiversity while providing ecosystem services and human well-being benefits, taking into account the human dimensions of marine protection.

Summary: The study found no consistent differences in benthic cover between reefs inside and outside MPAs in the Philippines, suggesting that protection does not guarantee immediate improvement in benthic condition. There were notable site-specific differences in benthic cover across the study MPAs, indicating that factors other than protection play important roles in influencing benthic cover inside and outside of MPAs.

Summary: The pressure on coastal regions in both developing and developed countries is similar, focusing on climate change, marine resource preservation, infrastructure development, and economic growth. The difference lies in the resources required to address these issues. In remote areas like small island regions in emerging developed countries like Indonesia, the challenges are more complex. However, efforts must come from coastal communities to initiate movements to maintain marine resources and prepare for the negative impact of climate change. This study aimed to measure the value of protecting the surrounding marine area in the Kei Islands, Indonesia, using choice modelling to understand coastal communities' perceptions towards Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The findings showed that most coastal communities supported the idea of protecting marine resources, with coastal protection being the main trigger for implementing MPAs in the region. The results highlight the importance of climate change in coastal regions.

Summary: Coral reefs are facing an uncertain future due to global climate change, with increasing occurrences of thermal-induced bleaching. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are becoming more important to protect the reefs. A study in Indonesia evaluated the spatial variation of severe bleaching, whether reefs with later bleaching onset are protected within MPAs, and the risk profiles for reefs related to MPAs receiving priority investments.

Summary: Most marine protected areas (MPAs), especially large ones, are too small to encompass the complete home ranges of marine megafauna species. However, benefits can still be obtained from MPAs by targeting seasonal aggregations and critical life history stages, as well as other management techniques.

Summary: Estuaries and coastal areas are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change and sea level rise. This research presents a salinity transport model for Biscayne Bay and investigates the potential impacts of altered precipitation, increased salinity/temperature, and sea level rise on bay salinity. The findings suggest that current restoration plans may not be sufficient to maintain current salinity conditions, and management measures such as urban greening, artificial groundwater recharge, and water consumption reduction should be considered.

Summary: The study shows that spatiotemporal simulation modeling is an effective tool for investigating management options in ecosystem-based fisheries management. It demonstrates that fisheries restricted areas can help rebuild the biomass of exploited stocks, but their effectiveness depends on the size and location of the areas. The study also suggests that a parallel reduction in total fishing effort is necessary to achieve the highest benefits of protection.

Summary: This study addresses the storage space allocation problem of container yards based on the dual-cycle operation mode. A mixed integer programming model is established to optimize container transportation distance. The results show that dual-cycle operation can decrease transportation distance and the space allocation method based on it is more effective than traditional methods. The study also provides management insights for container ports and suggests effective solutions for bottleneck problems.
