“…A similar case study was also conducted with Japanese residents to explore the monetary value of three main open ocean ecosystem services [11]. It is increasingly recognized that people failing to fully recognize the range of benefits obtained from "ecosystem services" accounts for much of the loss and degradation of ecosystems [12,13], which is likely to negatively impact the welfare of people living in coastal areas [14]. Thus, people who obtain environmental benefits should be expected to pay a certain amount of money to support ecosystem protection [15,16].…”

The willingness to pay (WTP) for marine conservation is an important basis for the design of market-based marine protection strategies and sustainable marine environment development. Whether the individual was willing to pay and how much they would prefer to pay may be affected separately by different factors. Thus, we investigated the probability of paying for marine conservation and the payment amount to obtain evidence regarding the factors that influence the preferences of stakeholders. We considered two marine protected areas in Zhejiang Province, China, where we combined contingent valuation with logit and tobit models to measure the differences in the WTP for marine conservation between tourists and residents. The results showed that most respondents were willing to pay for marine conservation, but they were affected by different factors. The average amounts that the respondents were willing to pay were 216.20 CNY ($34.3) and 172.43 CNY ($27.4) in the Nanji Islands MPA and Putuo Islands MPA, respectively. The probability of respondents' WTP was closely related to their individual environmental awareness, whereas the payment amount was influenced mainly by personal income. Thus, our results suggest that increasing human environmental cognition and developing differential payment schemes for the marine environment among stakeholders may promote sustainable marine protection development and management.

“…Our framework for SEWB offers a heuristic for examining the linkages among MPAs and multiple dimensions of well-being. Our analysis has revealed a relatively broad set of wellbeing attributes linked to MPAs (Table 4) in comparison with narrower conceptualizations of well-being in the literature (e.g., Gjertsen 2005, Mascia et al 2010, Stevenson et al 2013, Ngoc 2018.…”

“…Benefits and costs of MPAs to people and coastal communities have been observed, such as enhanced fishery resources (e.g., Angulo-Valdés and Hatcher 2010) and displacement from traditional fishing grounds (e.g., Rees et al 2013a), and can impact different people in different ways (e.g., Cinner et al 2014). However, much existing research focuses on narrow sets of predetermined indicators with limited input from communities (e.g., Gjertsen 2005, Mascia et al 2010, Stevenson et al 2013, Ngoc 2018. Without greater input from coastal communities, assessments risk missing the full range of implications of MPAs for key stakeholders, and our understanding of how social dynamics affect and are affected by MPAs will be constrained.…”

The design and implementation of ecologically effective marine protected areas (MPAs) are influenced by social acceptance and the impact of MPAs on communities. Integrative analyses of the social and ecological determinants of marine conservation efforts and MPA networks are lacking but are needed to achieve desired outcomes. We developed and applied a "socialecological well-being" (SEWB) approach to critically examine the linkages between MPAs and well-being in Southwest New Brunswick (Bay of Fundy, Canada). SEWB is defined as a social-ecological system state in which ecological resilience is sustained, while human needs are met and the quality of life of individuals is maintained. We examined (1) how stakeholders perceive benefits and costs of MPAs in relation to SEWB, and (2) how well-being insights contribute to the effectiveness of MPA governance. Using a qualitative case study approach, we conducted 49 semistructured interviews and 4 focus groups with fishers and other key informants at an existing MPA, as well as at an ecologically and biologically significant area that is a candidate for a future MPA. We identified 15 attributes of SEWB that related to MPAs, such as fishery access, community relations, place identity, and natural capital. Three key governance insights for decision makers emerged from the identification of these attributes: (1) displacement attributable to MPAs has implications across material, relational, subjective, and ecological dimensions; (2) effective collaboration is critical for community support, but perspectives about what constitutes effective collaboration may vary across stakeholder groups; and (3) aspects of MPA design fit poorly with the local context because they do not take social and ecological dynamics into account. Our findings empirically demonstrate the applicability of the SEWB framework, suggest a need to focus more on governance processes and improving fit, and highlight barriers to aligning national and local conservation priorities.

“…The coral reefs and seagrass beds are widely distributed in the shallow waters of Cu Lao Cham. The researchers have recorded 261 species of Scleractinian coral, 15 species of soft coral, 3 species of fire coral (Milleporidae), 1 species of blue coral (Helioporidae) and 2 species of horny coral (Antipatharia) in this area (Ngoc 2018).…”

Cham Islands (Cu Lao Cham) is a group of 8 small islands in the Quang Nam province, Central Vietnam. There is only one study that mentioned the diversity of marine molluscs in this area. However, the data on species composition have not been digitised and not stored or shared for other purposes. Our paper aims to share the checklist of marine mollusc species (Bivalvia and Gastropoda) species that we collected from the littoral zone of Cham Islands in May 2017. This is the first digitised and online data of marine molluscs in Vietnam. It is very important for researchers in various fields such as the structure and function of ecology and biodiversity monitoring. This study provides a checklist of the marine bivalves and snails in the Cham Islands of Vietnam. Moreover, this first widely shared data of biodiversity in Vietnam can trigger biodiversity data papers in this data-poor country. The data of this study will be important inputs for better understanding biodiversity on the Cham Islands and Vietnam as well as for forming the basis for monitoring, exploitation and conservation of biodiversity in this area. In total, 145 taxa were recorded, 46 bivalve taxa and 99 snail taxa, from which 128 were identified to the species level and 17 were identified to the genus level. There are 116 new species records for the Cham Islands. The specimens are currently deposited in the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR), Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST).
