“…An Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) of aquatic ecosystems is more likely to support a timely achievement of the EU 2020 Biodiversity Strategy targets than isolated sectorial management initiatives (Piet et al 2017;Martínez-López et al 2019a). Such an integrative approach to ecological, social and governance principles sets an adequate context to apply socio-ecological concepts such as ecosystem services in practical management initiatives (Lillebø et al 2019;Martínez-López et al 2019b). The EBM planning process involves the coordination of policies, institutions and practices (Drakou et al 2017;Piet et al 2017;Rouillard et al 2018), representing a holistic approach that aims to balance multiple interrelated dimensions of ecological integrity and human well-being (Gómez et al 2016(Gómez et al , 2017Langhans et al 2019).…”

This chapter presents the co-development of the Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) planning process in the Vouga estuary for the mitigation of unintended impacts on biodiversity resulting from the 2019/2020 management plan. This estuary, part of Ria de Aveiro coastal lagoon located on the northwest coast of Portugal (40 38 0 N, 08 45 0 W), connects the Vouga river catchment area to the Atlantic Ocean. Ria de Aveiro, part of the Natura 2000 network, is characterised by high biodiversity and a wide range of ecosystem services. However, it is also a vulnerable territory that requires a management plan in practice for environmental protection, targeting threatened species and habitats, but also to enable socioeconomic welfare. Framed by EBM principles, the stepwise planning approach aimed at identifying the governance boundaries and institutions, the policy objectives, synergies, and gaps relevant to managing biodiversity, and to promote participatory actions with local stakeholders and policy-makers to understand their objectives. These three first steps enabled us to understand the social-ecological system and to co-develop relevant EBM solutions. In the final step, the proposed

“…The traditional activities that have shaped the ecosystem have declined and the estuary is now facing pressure from other diversified activities, such as urban, industrial, fisheries, aquaculture, agriculture, tourism, navigation, and ports, with different social and economic dimensions and cultural and historical roots. This has increased and threatened the ecosystem services and values of the estuarine system [29,70]. The expansion of the port and related interventions [71], such as the dredging operations of its main channels performed in the 1990s and the regular dredging of the entrance channel that access the port of Aveiro, have also contributed to changes in the tidal range, velocity, advance of the salt wedge, and sediment dynamics.…”

Estuaries are one of the most productive and complex types of ecosystems supporting a wide range of economic activities. Departing from a set of governance problems and emergent goals, such as sustainability or climate change adaptation faced by an estuarine case study area, Ria de Aveiro, in Portugal, this article assesses the adequacy of alternative governance models under the existing water resources legal framework and traditional political culture. It shows that apart from the centrally-based compliance model, all other alternatives require high degrees of institutional reforms. Moreover, although the model based on a dedicated new agency, long preferred by many users of Ria de Aveiro, is the most understandable and focused, it does not assure the pursuance of adaptability or collaboration, which are considered essential for estuary governance. As it relies on collective action and multi-level and multi-agent contexts, estuarine governance may require a new institutional design. Where one begins a process of institutional change, however, is not a simple issue to address and demands a deeper analysis, particularly on the types of required institutional changes, as well as on their impacts on policy and decision-making outcomes over estuarine environments and associated socio-ecological networks.
