“…Commercial fishers of all types were concerned about the JBMP affecting their activities in the future, with continued feelings of fear, stress and uncertainty in reaction to the park. Fear is a significant issue within fishing communities as a response to MPAs [101][102][103], and commonly precedes the establishment of the park and continues afterwards [101]. When spatial closures occur which limit commercial fishing activity where fishers are accustomed to traditional fisheries management tools, uncertainty is created as the impacts of the management strategy are unknown [33,104].…”

Highlights  Social impacts of the MPA are not distributed uniformly among stakeholders  Negative stakeholder impacts resulted in strong negative attitudes towards the MPA  Most common adverse impacts are feelings of fear, stress, uncertainty and inequity  Feelings persisted despite acknowledgement the MPA had limited impact on fishing  Impacts can be similar in scope to those in developing countries

“…Coastal conflicts are ubiquitous and include contest over resources, values and cultures. Conflict over access is an embedded dynamic that affects responses to change and management (Meyer-McLean and Nursey-Bray 2017 ). However, the scope of marine and coastal conflict goes further than access to resources: it is about justice, wellbeing, and good governance (Alexander 2019 ).…”

Humans have relied on coastal resources for centuries. However, current growth in population and increased accessibility of coastal resources through technology have resulted in overcrowded and often conflicted spaces. The recent global move towards development of national blue economy strategies further highlights the increased focus on coastal resources to address a broad range of blue growth industries. The need to manage sustainable development and future exploitation of both over-utilised and emergent coastal resources is both a political and environmental complexity. To address this complexity, we draw on the perspectives of a multi-disciplinary team, utilising two in depth exemplary case studies in New Zealand and within the Myanmar Delta Landscape, to showcase barriers, pathways and actions that facilitate a move from Business as Usual (BAU) to a future aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN International Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–2030. We provide key recommendations to guide interest groups, and nations globally, towards sustainable utilisation, conservation and preservation of their marine environments in a fair and equitable way, and in collaboration with those who directly rely upon coastal ecosystems. We envision a sustainable future driven by conflict mitigation and resolution, where: Change is motivated and facilitated Coastal ecosystems are co-managed by multiple reliant groups Networks that maintain and enhance biodiversity are implemented Decision-making is equitable and based on ecosystem services Knowledge of the marine realm is strengthened—‘mapping the ocean of life’ The interests of diverse user groups are balanced with a fair distribution of benefits
