“…Excellent science and understanding of the North Sea marine system will have no impact or value on its management unless it is communicated to the right audience, at the appropriate time and in an appropriate manner. The audience must be receptive and the scientists have to realise that different audiences require information in different formats (Elliott et al, 2017b). It was emphasised that many hurdles are yet to be overcome here.…”

“…It was emphasised that many hurdles are yet to be overcome here. It is emphasised that the policy makers/implementers, managers, and other stakeholders, such as industry and NGOs, are unlikely to be able to use and appreciate detailed scientific documents and so the onus is on the scientists to produce suitable documents (Elliott et al, 2017b). Scientists may wish to rely only on peer-reviewed international literature (Snoeijs-Leijonmalm et al, 2017), whereas other stakeholders have little access to large academic libraries and may wish to rely on their own reports .…”

“…Other initiatives aim to expand international (cross-border) communication, such as North Sea Hydrographic Commission (NSHC), OSPAR, and the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Lastly, the highly successful joint Baltic Sea research and development BONUS programme for the Baltic Sea has heavily influenced policy (Snoeijs-Leijonmalm et al, 2017;Elliott et al, 2017b).…”

Interdisciplinary science to support North Sea marine management: lessons learned and future demands

The expected increase of maritime activities in the North Sea and the growing awareness of its natural environmental value require enhanced science-based environmental advice for more efficient and effective marine management. The North Sea Open Science Conference organised by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and the Belgian Biodiversity Platform in 2016 aimed to take stock of the present-day scientific knowledge on the North Sea ecosystem, its interactions with human activities and its management. The conference was structured along three themes: (1) 'the scientific backbone of the North Sea ecosystem: adequacy of the knowledge base?', (2) 'A new era in environmental monitoring and assessment: what is at stake?', and (3) 'Sustainability: one for all, all for one?'. Focusing on 'open science', we welcomed about 200 participants from around the North Sea with different backgrounds and interests in environmental sciences. The participants were challenged to reflect on current and future challenges for the North Sea management and, in particular, to explore possible nature-friendly solutions for addressing these challenges during a series of introductory oral (69) and poster (59) presentations, and World Café and Fish Bowl participatory sessions. The participants agreed on six main actions to (1) provide S. Degraer, V. Van Lancker, and T. A. G. P. Van Dijk shared first authorship.

“…The necessity of effective communication for successful marine conservation initiatives, including the significance of scientists’ communication (Rudd, 2015), and the importance of using different communication approaches for different stakeholders (e.g. regulators, extractors, users) has been repeatedly emphasized (Day, 2003; Elliott, Snoeijs‐Leijonmalm, & Barnard, 2017; Nicoll et al, 2016; Reuver et al, 2016; Salomon et al, 2011; Seeyave et al, 2017; Van Densen & McCay, 2007). The present integrative review contributes to this identified need by providing a thematically presented new understanding (Torraco, 2005) of message framing strategies for effectual marine conservation communication (MCC).…”

1. Human activities are a major source of threat to marine ecosystems. Solutions thus require changes to or cessation of those activities in addition to multiple restorative and conservation effortsall of which, in turn, require public support for success. However, scientific understanding of threats to marine ecosystems has not paralleled public understanding of those threats in many jurisdictions. Highly complex, interwoven, distant, vulnerable to multiple stressors, and hosting biota that are biologically unfamiliar to people, marine ecosystems present unique communication challenges. 2. The merits of effective communication capable of motivating behavioural change, policy action and support for marine conservation are often emphasized. To date, however, environmental communication, as a field, has largely focused on terrestrial ecosystems and more recently on climate change, leaving research-informed marine conservation communication neglected. 3. Adding to the small compilation of marine conservation communication literature, this integrative review provides a new understanding of how six message frames (emotional, problem/solution, outcome, value-based, distance, and social norm) can interactively help enhance the effectuality of conservation messages. Insights from the framing-related literature are merged with those from relevant fields including the theoretical literature, and the behavioural, social, and environmental sciences to define concepts, provide examples and explain the relevance of the six identified frames. The potential strength of these frames are discussed and suggestions on how they might be used to communicate different marine conservation issues are provided.
