Why use Ecosystem Approach?
Political need – international and national commitmentsOperational benefits - trade-offs explicit, ownership of process, spectrum of approaches able to adapt to complex challenges

Shared common understanding
• Evidence based, trans-multidisciplinary • Participatory • Adaptive management• Setting boundaries & limits• Evaluation

Properties of success
• transparent & trusted evidence base - honest brokers• mechanisms for setting objectives/priorities• players understand their role in the process• realistic ambitions • governance framework honours outcomes• “right” people at the “right” tables with equity• limits to understanding acknowledged • recognise existing sectoral objectives & incentives• participatory tool development
Most trusted in America

Short of expectations - governance
Differing expectations& time frames
Trust
Governance honouring outcomes
No shared articulated need
Incentives & stakeholder buy-in

Short of expectations – framework, methods
Role of science in an applied process
No clear framework for implementation
Few transferable metrics & shared currency for trade-offs
Policy ahead of science

Options for progress
• Develop frameworks for implementation • Acknowledge power of/ownership between sectors • Trade-offs • Use whatever governance mandate exist • Find a honest champion• Use momentum but temper expectations
See Sardà et al 2014, Ecosystem-based management system

Options for progress – personal note,from a scientist’s perspective
As they leave the science closet, knowledge brokers need to be aware& empathetic to the arena they are entering
![Page 15: Mark Dickey-Collas MSEAS 2016 Ecosystem approach](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070523/58ed21101a28abdf578b4641/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conclusions1. Broad agreement of concepts and best practices2. Successes - mechanisms for setting objectives & priorities, getting buy-in
while understanding respective roles and responsibilities, realistic ambitions & tangible knowledge base.
3. Failures - misunderstanding incentives, poor stake-holderbuy-in, and institutional & governance issues.
4. Greater attention to developing appropriate governanceframeworks & leadership, roles of actors in process
