Evolutions in estuary governance? Reflections and lessons from Australia, France and New Caledonia

Estuaries are cradles of life for the communities who live around and within them. They are valued in multiple ways for the services they provide to humans, including food production, recreation, water purification, navigation and amenity. Various groups of stakeholders all place different importance on these values, how their needs and practices interact, and what it means to effectively manage an estuary towards a range of desirable goals. This typically creates value conflicts over how estuaries should be managed. Navigating such conflicts requires governance arrangements and methods that allow multiple parties to find a common path forward. Using Evolutionary Governance Theory (EGT) and a hybrid analytic framework incorporating aspects of multilevel/multi-scalar governance, risk governance and territorial intelligence theory, this paper explores the (co-) evolution of governance processes by analysing lessons learnt from action in and observation of estuaries in Australia (Lower Hawkesbury), France (Thau) and New Caledonia (Thio). A multi-method research approach to data collection was used and comparative analysis across the three estuaries undertaken to understand the evolutions in each of their governance systems. From this analysis, several reflections and lessons for the governance of other land-sea systems emerge on: the importance of boundary organisations and boundary negotiations in re-defining integrated approaches to land-sea governance; how particular information systems or models, as well as discourses from other key actors shape co-evolutions of estuarine governance; and that risks or shocks still appear to be the catalysers of new forms of collective action and major reconfigurations and evolutions of estuarine governance.

“…The perceptions of other marine users (S8) variable, including public perception, was added to account for actors outside the focal SES whose opinions about the relative risks and benefits of aquaculture may influence farmer practices and decision-making [71]. While the public may recognize local economic contributions of aquaculture, they sometimes question its impacts on the environment related to pollution and the depletion of wild stocks [72,73].…”

A Social-Ecological System Framework for Marine Aquaculture Research

Aquaculture has been responsible for an impressive growth in the global supply of seafood. As of 2016, more than half of all global seafood production comes from aquaculture. To meet future global seafood demands, there is need and opportunity to expand marine aquaculture production in ways that are both socially and ecologically sustainable. This requires integrating biophysical, social, and engineering sciences. Such interdisciplinary research is difficult due to the complexity and multi-scale aspects of marine aquaculture and inherent challenges researchers face working across disciplines. To this end, we developed a framework based on Elinor Ostrom’s social–ecological system framework (SESF) to guide interdisciplinary research on marine aquaculture. We first present the framework and the social–ecological system variables relevant to research on marine aquaculture and then illustrate one application of this framework to interdisciplinary research underway in Maine, the largest producer of marine aquaculture products in the United States. We use the framework to compare oyster aquaculture in two study regions, with a focus on factors influencing the social and biophysical carrying capacity. We conclude that the flexibility provided by the SESF is well suited to inform interdisciplinary research on marine aquaculture, especially comparative, cross-case analysis.

However, this masks important variations across the globe-a lower share to agriculture in many highly industrialized countries and a much higher share in many lower income countries. South Asian countries, where British colonial rule invested heavily in large public irrigation systems (McGinn, 2009), stand out in particular with over 90% of freshwater withdrawn for agriculture (Figure 1), (World Bank, 2019). Consumptive use of irrigation water is less than 50% of the total volume diverted due to conveyance losses.As options for expanding water supplies dwindle across the globe, identifying opportunities for managing water demand gain importance (Chong & Sunding, 2006). Among these, water pricing (Molle & Berkoff, 2007) and approaches to reallocation non voluntarily through administrative decisions or voluntarily via collective decision-making or trade (Meinzen Dick & Ringler, 2008); emerge as central tools (Marston & Cai, 2016;Quentin Grafton et al., 2016;Richter, 2014). Among the many factors that can constrain water management (Marston & Cai, 2016), a fundamental constraint on the capacity to assess charges or make reallocations (whether voluntary or not) is the inability to measure water flow sufficiently and accurately. Volumetric water metering in agricultural systems is particularly challenging and broadly seen as impractical (Molle & Berkoff, 2007), so that in practice water fees are based often on cropped area, if they exist at all (
