“…The draft marine spatial plan did not consider land use despite the fact that such practices could affect the ability of zones to meet their intended objectives, and although the development process for the port includes an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, including this development in the zoning process would have been a more pro‐active planning approach. Lack of consideration of land use is a common deficiency in marine zoning which integrated land‐sea planning approaches can help resolve (Álvarez‐Romero et al, ; Harris et al, ).…”

As human use of the oceans increases, marine spatial planning (MSP) is being more widely adopted to achieve improved environmental, economic, and social outcomes. However, there is a lack of practical guidance for stakeholder driven, scientifically informed MSP processes in small island and data‐limited contexts. Here, we present an overview of MSP on the Caribbean island of Montserrat, with a focus on the scientific and technical input that helped inform the process. Montserrat presents an interesting case study of MSP in the small island context as it has ocean uses that are common to many islands, namely small‐scale fisheries and tourism, but the marine environment has been heavily impacted due to volcanic activity. We detail the methods for data collection and analysis and the decision‐making process that contributed to a marine spatial plan. We highlight aspects of the process that may be useful for other small islands embarking on MSP, and lessons learned regarding scientific support, including the need for on‐site scientific support and guidance throughout MSP, the importance of setting clear objectives, working within data limitations and making data accessible, and choosing and using appropriate decision support tools.

“…Seven coastal outlets, not previously listed as estuaries, were deemed to be functional system types based on size, topography and vegetation cover and added to the formal list of estuaries. All larger outlets (>200 m) were delineated based on the 5 m topographical contour (obtained from the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform: National Geospatial Information) to determine how far they extend inland (Harris et al 2019;van Niekerk et al 2019c). Existing national and bioregional datasets were then scrutinised to establish what information was available on the physical features and processes of estuaries (e.g.…”

For nearly three decades, the Whitfield (1992) characterisation scheme served as a reference framework to type South African estuaries. We outline a revised ecosystem classification scheme that incorporates biogeographical zonation and introduces new types. Coastal outlets were re-categorised as estuaries or micro-systems. For functional estuaries, the Estuarine Lakes, Estuarine Bays and Predominantly Open Estuary types were largely retained. New types are Estuarine Lagoons and Arid Predominantly Closed Estuaries. The numerically dominant, temporarily open/closed category was subdivided into Small and Large Temporarily Closed Estuaries, with a total habitat area of 15 ha, serving as threshold separating these two subdivisions. River mouths were renamed Fluvially Dominated Estuaries and divided into large and small size categories to reflect dissimilar catchment influences. Micro-systems were separated into micro-estuaries, micro-outlets, and waterfalls. South Africa's 290 estuaries were classified into 22 estuarine ecosystem categories arising from nine estuary types occurring across four biogeographical zones. In addition, 202 micro-systems were classified into nine ecosystem types, of which only the micro-estuaries (42) share possible functionality with estuaries. Estuaries subjected to functional shifts were also identified. The classification system provides a framework that integrates biogeography and the range of biophysical parameters evident in South Africa, and can be used for red listing of ecosystem types and determining estuarine sensitivity to pressures.

“…Sebagai kota yang terletak di pesisir, tempat terjadinya interaksi antara bentang lahan daratan dan lautan (Harris et al, 2019), DKI Jakarta juga memiliki potensi bahaya yang berkaitan dengan laut dan perubahan iklim (Firman et al, 2011;Goh, 2019;Nurhidayah & McIlgorm, 2019). Beban bangunan dan infrastruktur yang diberikan di atas kota, memberikan bahaya subsidensi atau penurunan permukaan tanah (Andreas et al, 2018;Chaussard et al, 2013;Park et al, 2016).…”

Administrative Transboundary Project: Public Participation Analysis in Indonesia’s New Capital City Planning Processes The Central Government of the Republic of Indonesia once again formulated a plan for moving the National Capital (IKN). The existing government centers in DKI Jakarta Province will be moved to North Penajam Paser Regency and Kutai Kartanegara Regency in East Kalimantan Province. As the progress of planning and preparation for the implementation of this discourse, public opinion is still dominated by negative sentiment, one of the escalated issues is public participation. As the core of democracy, public participation in decision making in the Republic of Indonesia is a necessity. This study intends to review the IKN planning process that has been carried out from the perspective of the participation ladder theory. Descriptive qualitative method used by analyzing electronic news (understanding chronological stories of the project) and media social data (public participation and perception). Comparing those data with previous researches were done to increase depth of analysis. The result showed that participatory regional planning process in IKN project is in the degree of tokenism or symbolism. This is hoped to provide evaluation in the implementation of the capital city relocation project, thus could contribute in creating more inclusive planning processes in further implementation stages.
