“…However, as in other parts of the world (e.g., Quig, 2004;Wickham-Jones, 2010), the lack of research and sometimes even the lack of awareness of the cultural and ecological value of submerged landscapes is a serious hindrance to good management. In the Kimberley, for example, the coastal area between the shoreline (defined as Mean High Water Mark) and 2 km inland was found to be disproportionally valued over areas 20 km and even 200 km landward or seaward (Kobryn et al, 2018). In addition, of the thirty critical research needs identified for the Kimberley marine environment in Western Australia, submerged cultural heritage was not identified by any of the Healthy Country 6 managers, natural resource managers or scientists (Cviyamovoc et al, 2021).…”

‘Out of sight, out of mind’ - towards a greater acknowledgment of submerged prehistoric resources in Australian science-policy as part of a common heritage

There is growing awareness of the need for greater acknowledgement of underwater prehistoric cultural resources as part of management and regulation of the seabed around many maritime countries, especially those with large indigenous populations and history such as Australia. Prehistoric cultural places and landscapes inundated by Post-glacial sea-level rise on Australia’s continental shelf remain largely out-of-sight and out-of-mind, hence awareness and hence legal protection of this resource is lacking. There is a clear need for greater integration of archaeology and cultural heritage management within the marine sciences as well as a greater awareness of this resource as part of a common heritage more generally. This paper explores some of the dichotomies between Western and Indigenous cultures in valuing and managing the seabed. We argue that in developing science-policy, an attempt at least needs to be made to bridge both the gap between the nature and culture perspectives, and the jurisdictional divide between land and sea. Part of the answer lies in a convergence of Indigenous knowledge with Western science approaches, focused around our understanding of physical processes impacting past and present coastal landscapes and on the seabed itself. We explore several case studies from northern and Western Australia that are trying to do this, and which are helping to provide a greater appreciation of the inundated landscapes of the inner shelf as part of a common heritage.

“…The sustainable use of seas and coastlines, through an integrated consideration of ecological, economic and social concerns, is increasingly recognized [75,76]. Within the context, it should be integrated into regional development plans within the Integrated Coastal Zone Management within the framework of an understanding that aims to create a geotourism destination in order to ensure the effective protection and sustainable use of the heritage coast value of GBCs and its coast.…”

Evaluation of the Visitor Understanding of Coastal Geotourism and Geoheritage Potential Based on Sustainable Regional Development in Western Black Sea Region, Turkey

et al. 2021

The Black Sea coasts of Turkey have important examples of geological heritage with coastal cliffs in terms of geological formations and features. The Güzelcehisar Basalt Columns (GBCs) formation and its coast have been chosen as a research area in this article in terms of its basalt columns, rare coastal geological diversity and coastal geotourism potential. This paper presents the results of a visitor survey undertaken at the GBCs formation and its coast, located in the rural coastal part of Bartın province in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. This survey was conducted in 2020 to assess the tourism shoulder season visitors to the Güzelcehisar village. With the survey, its aim was to determine the awareness of the visitors on geoconservation and geodiversity and to evaluate the understanding of geological heritage and geotourism. In addition, it was desired to set visitor expectations to improve the geotourism experience. It was found that visitors had a high level of understanding and awareness of the terms “geodiversity”, “geoheritage”, “geotourism” and “geoconservation”. However, this survey also shows that there is less emphasis on the need to protect the geodiversity in Güzelcehisar. Guided walking is preferred in order to improve visitor understanding and improve experiences. These survey findings contain guiding explanations for studies that could provide a wider interpretation of the perceptions, experiences and expectations of visitors regarding the sustainable development of areas with similar coastal geotourism potential in Turkey.

“…De esa manera, entre 2012 y 2017 se publicaron cinco estudios de valoración social en Oceanía, como parte de proyectos de planificación y ordenamiento territorial, con el objetivo de analizar las implicaciones sociales, ecológicas y económicas esperadas por la creación de áreas naturales protegidas y para identificar zonas de conflicto potencial por el uso o administración de recursos naturales entre gobierno y grupos indígenas (Brown et al, 2017;Moore et al, 2017;Munro et al, 2017;Ramm et al, 2017;Kobryn et al, 2018).…”

“…El valor social de los SE se ha abordado desde distintas disciplinas, por lo que no se ha consolidado un concepto funcional y universal. Se define en algunos casos como el grado de importancia que los SE tienen para las personas (Aheto et al, 2016) y en otros como un subtipo de valor relacional que vincula a los seres humanos con un sitio específico, natural o no, a partir de las creencias, significados y motivaciones de los individuos y las relaciones socio-ecológicas que se establecen (Kobryn et al, 2018). Así, se ha comprobado que aspectos como el sentido de pertenencia y la apreciación sobre la relación individual con el medio ambiente, proveen información con confiabilidad equiparable a la evaluación económica (Brown, 2013).…”

Los Servicios Ecosistémicos(SE) son bienes y servicios que la humanidad obtiene de la naturaleza y a los que se asigna valor ecológico, económico y social, aunque se ha brindado menor atención al estudio de este último. Esta deficiencia es más notable en el caso de los humedales costeros, que proveen importantes SE, escasamente explorados desde la perspectiva social y espacial, pese a su pertinencia en la planificación territorial. Para conocer el estado del arte relativo a la valoración social de SE de humedales costeros y la importancia del análisis espacial en el proceso, se realizó una revisión documental sistemática (2005-2018) que permitió observar una tendencia positiva en el número de publicaciones, en especial en el último trienio. Se identificó que el valor social carece de una definición estandarizada y se ha enfocado a servicios sin valor de mercado, mientras que en lo relativo a dimensión espacial, se encontró que esta se ha venido incorporando con esquemas de mapeo participativo, dirigido a determinar la accesibilidad a sitios de provisión de SE y a la identificación de sitios de valor social dentro de los humedales, sin que la producción de mapas sea relevante. No se encontraron elementos para determinar si la valoración social es complementaria o alternativa a la económica, pero se requiere crear un marco conceptual para la valoración integral basado en la pluralidad de valores de los SE como una estrategia de conservación de los humedales.
