Summary: Seagrass meadows provide important ecosystem services in coastal environments worldwide, but their effects on shellfishing have not been explored. This study in north-west Spain analyzed the interactions between shellfishing and Zostera spp. beds and identified governance gaps in seagrass management. Interviews and workshops with shellfishers revealed that they viewed the presence of seagrass negatively, as it requires more physical effort and can damage the plants. However, experienced shellfishers recognized the benefits of seagrass meadows and were open to allocating areas for conservation.

Summary: Agriculture is heavily impacted by climate change, particularly in developing countries where farmers are both key players in adaptation and highly vulnerable. This study used a binary logistic regression model to examine local farmers' perceptions and behaviors towards climate change, finding that factors such as agricultural training, perceived temperature change, and education level significantly influence adaptive behavior. Key measures to enhance local climate adaptation include tailored training programs and improvement of scientific research.

Summary: This study examines the impacts of climate change on small-scale fisheries, focusing on a marine hotspot in the South Atlantic Ocean. By combining scientific and local ecological knowledge, the study evaluates how climate-related stressors affect ecosystems and human components of social-ecological systems. Adaptive responses at multiple levels, driven by a mix of autonomous and government-led actions, are crucial for addressing the challenges posed by climate change in fast-warming regions.

Summary: In this study, the researchers found that climate change has various impacts on the Sierra Nevada region in Spain, including changes in snowfall, fauna abundance, freshwater availability, and extreme temperatures. The reports of these impacts differ based on the informants' sociodemographic characteristics and geographical location. Understanding intracultural variation in reports of climate change impacts can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the human dimensions of climate change and guide the development of targeted mitigation and adaptation responses.

Summary: An understanding of traditional ecological knowledge systems is increasingly recognized as important in developing relevant policies. Pastoralists utilize unsuitable lands for crops using locally relevant knowledge. We analyzed forage-related knowledge of pastoralists and found common principles across different regions. Understanding these principles can support local initiatives, discussions on sustainable land management, and relevant policies.

Summary: Coastal nearshore regions serve as hotspots for human and biological productivity, but many areas lack proper understanding, monitoring, and management. This study focused on the nearshore sector of Oregon's groundfish trawl fishery, revealing limited scientific knowledge and data on the ecology of these habitats. Local ecological knowledge is crucial for understanding fishing effort and resource vitality, highlighting the importance of further research and monitoring efforts in coastal fishery management.

Summary: New coexistence scenarios have emerged for fishermen in the Santos Estuarine System region, as a result of port and industrial activities and other human factors. This study aimed to develop a methodological framework to assess the resilience of small-scale fisheries based on local knowledge. The results showed a decrease in overall resilience and ecological attributes, while social resilience attributes remained relatively stable.

Summary: Mangroves provide multiple ecosystem services to coastal communities and their fisheries. This study explored the cultural benefits and local ecological knowledge (LEK) of fishers in the Galapagos regarding mangroves. The findings showed the importance of LEK in understanding the habitat-dependence relationships among fishery taxa, connectivity among habitats, and productivity spatial patterns. The study also highlighted the potential for ecosystem-based fisheries management and mangrove protection using fishers' LEK.

Summary: Maya farmers in Mesoamerica have been practicing milpa, a traditional agroforestry system, for thousands of years. However, burning practices have contributed to greenhouse gas emissions. A study conducted in Chiapas, Mexico found that the carbon retention of char in Maya milpas is significantly higher than other slash-and-burn systems. Although burning resulted in carbon loss, the production of char and incomplete combustion of woody biomass mitigated the loss. The study also found minimal effects of burning on soil quality. Proper management and secure land tenure can help maintain the sustainability of this agroforestry system.

Summary: The history of brick manufacturing in Madagascar can be traced back to the early 19th century, with the country using lateritic soils and carbonate-bearing clays as raw materials for brick making. Bricks are prepared on site with no additional manipulation of the base clay, and fired using rice husk, peat, and wood as fuel sources. However, the poor quality of furnaces leads to significant heat loss and lower firing temperatures, impacting the quality of the bricks.

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.

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.
