“…While each method has unique merits and shortcomings, they can only capture a subset of CSV on their own; a combination of diverse methods is needed to identify the broadest range of CSV. Further, formal collaborations with communities improve our ability to understand local values from local perspectives and support inclusive and equitable scholarship (Fish et al, 2016; Gavin et al, 2018; Mauser et al, 2013; Miller & Wyborn, 2020; Sterling et al, 2017; Winter et al, 2020).

Mangrove cultural services and values: Current status and knowledge gaps

Found exclusively in the tropics and subtropics, mangrove ecosystems make up less than 1% of the earth's total surface area but provide crucial functions and services disproportionate to their size, including serving as habitat for a wide variety of biodiversity, storing carbon at levels equivalent to those measured in the Amazon rainforests, and providing coastal stability and storm protection (Giri et al., 2011;Saatchi et al., 2011;Thomas et al., 2017). Despite their importance, at least 35% of the world's mangroves have been lost since 1990 due primarily to agricultural/aquacultural uses and logging (Thomas et al., 2017). These declines are expected to significantly affect not only the ecological and economic value of mangroves, but also the communities around them that have tightly linked cultural values and uses associated with these landscapes.The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005) defines ecosystem services (ES) as the suite of benefits that ecosystems generate for society, which can be placed into four broad categories:

“…By contrast, recent research on the flanks of Mauna Kea (among other places in Hawaiʻi) makes use of both the special features of the island and Indigenous knowledge of traditional agriculture to evaluate landscape‐ecosystem interactions based on community needs (Lincoln et al., 2018). The Heʻeia National Estuary Research Reserve exemplifies a contemporary Indigenous Community and Conserved Area of reciprocal research and management collaboration with the Indigenous people and local community (Winter et al., 2020). David‐Chavez and Gavin (2019) refer to these latter examples as a “collegial” approach, where cocreation grants community members the authority to lead, thereby disrupting colonial legacies of power within the academy.…”

Equitable Exchange: A Framework for Diversity and Inclusion in the Geosciences

Despite growing demographic diversity in the United States population at large, in the 50 years that the National Science Foundation has been keeping demographic statistics, there has been a continuing lack of diversification in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workforce, leading to growing frustration and a compelling need for both equity and inclusion (Bernard & Cooperdock, 2018).Within the geosciences (Earth, Atmosphere, Ocean, and Polar Sciences), there is a current wave of energy and attention to issues of equity and social justice in geoscience spaces that is long overdue. Calls to action (Ali et al., 2020;Morris et al., 2020), publications (e.g., Chen et al., 2020;Marín-Spiotta et al., 2020), personal stories (#BlackAndStem (#BlackAndStem was created by Stephanie Page, PhD; twitter: @ThePurplePage)), new centers (e.g., AGU Ethics and Equity Center), and emerging movements (URGE: https://urgeoscience. org/) are pushing the edges and reforming approaches to broadening participation. This is encouraging, as past strategies to accelerate demographic and ethnocultural representation have not succeeded as hoped. Many existing approaches portray the lack of diversity as a problem of unequal access (e.g., via affordability or as a consequence of structural racism), and/or one of unequal interest, with evidence existing for both perspectives (Dutt, 2020; Posselt, 2020). One mechanism to broaden participation in the geosciences is to

“…At Heʻeia Fishpond in K āneʻohe Bay, a 1972 proposal to develop the nearly 800-year-old fishpond into a boat harbour was met with strong protest (Farber, 1997), and this community interest helped to lay the foundation for the pond's current restoration and the founding of Paepae o Heʻeia, the fishpond's managing organization. Additionally, the fishpond is within the boundaries of the recently established Heʻeia National Estuarine Research Reserve which will facilitate ongoing scientific studies there (Winter, Rii, et al, 2020). Extreme mangrove overgrowth, high sedimentation rates, and a large flood that destroyed a 61 m portion of the wall rendered the fishpond inoperable for many years.…”

Traditional Hawaiian fishponds, called loko iʻa, are a low‐impact and culturally important aquaculture system that historically produced significant fish yields. To better understand the structure of the contemporary food web of the restored Heʻeia fishpond, a mark‐recapture experiment was conducted to estimate the population abundance of the three dominant predatory fishes, and gut content, genetic barcoding, and stable isotope analyses were used to assess their diets. Great barracuda Sphyraena barracuda had the largest estimated population at 190 individuals, followed by 89 giant trevally Caranx ignobilis and 19 bluefin trevally Caranx melampygus. The three species were caught throughout the pond, with C. ignobilis concentrated in the deeper northwest area near a mangrove island. Diets of the three species consisted mainly of nearshore, estuarine fishes, and crustaceans. Prey taxonomic resolution was greatly improved with the use of genetic barcoding since most fish were too degraded to be visually identified. Trophic level calculations and isotopic niche breadth comparisons indicated that C. ignobilis and S. barracuda occupied similar ecological niches in the fishpond, and stable isotope mixing models revealed that their long‐term diets were mostly comprised glass shrimp (Palaemon sp.), mangrove swimming crab (Thalamita crenata), and an invasive Australian mullet (Osteomugil engeli). The native mullet (Mugil cephalus), a primary food fish species from the fishpond, was not identified in the diets of the predatory fishes in this study nor in a previous diet study decades ago prior to the introduction of Australian mullet. The inclusion of the invasive Australian mullet in the contemporary diets of the predatory fishes demonstrates a shift towards the newly available prey which may benefit the native mullet populations. These findings improve the understanding of food web dynamics in contemporary Hawaiian fishponds and provide an example of native predatory fishes consuming an invasive species as part of their diets.
