“…A major challenge of integrated/interlinked ecosystem-based management of estuarine and coastal marine environments is to assemble the elements of a holistic approach necessary for successful and sustainable ecosystem components [5] [26]. A need exists for effective science-informing policy and policy-informing science and recognition of the limitations of each [16].…”

“…A primary goal of estuarine and coastal marine ecosystem management is to protect biotic communities and habitats from adverse effects of human activities and natural events, including changes that pose a threat to ecosystem structure, functioning, and sustainability [5] [10] [16]. As such, it is not only important to examine the structure of an ecosystem (i.e.…”

“…They form transitional environments between terrestrials, rivers, and open ocean systems and thus are vulnerable to an array of anthropogenic impacts because coastal lands nearby are often highly developed and densely populated, with human activities greatly affecting ecosystems along the watershed, river, estuary, and coastal ocean continuum [3] [4]. The protection and maintenance of estuarine and coastal marine environments require integrated ecosystem management that considers the connectivity of land, estuary, and ocean components [5].…”

“…The main objective of the article is to synthesize the aforementioned management strategies and legislative frameworks, examining other published works on the subject such as the comprehensive treatments of Elliott [5], Kennish and Elliott [6], Defeo and Elliott [7], and others. To this end, the general structure of the article consists of several key components that follow: types of anthropogenic impacts, management strategies, management frameworks, remediating damaged coastal environments, and regulatory frameworks.…”

As noted by Elliott et al [5], the degradation of biotic communities and habitats in natural systems due to Open Journal of Ecology anthropogenic impacts requires effective management measures for successful restoration and mitigation, while concurrently sustaining goods and services.…”

A wide range of anthropogenic activities impacts estuarine and coastal marine environments including interactive climate and non-climatic drivers of change that can significantly degrade biotic communities and habitats. Many of these environments are in decline due to changes in ecosystem structure and function resulting from multiple stressor effects. In addition, inadequate governance has supported a patchwork of single issues or sectoral approaches rather than integrated management of multiple human uses and activities to maintain healthy, productive, resilient, and sustainable ecosystems and the provision of goods and services. Ecosystem-based marine spatial planning is a viable framework for a more effective governance structure and management of these vital coastal environments. An important component of this approach is a holistic effort to assess the environmental, economic, and societal impacts of anthropogenic activities. Thus, a multidisciplinary integrated approach is preferred that links ecological, physical, and socio-economic systems, increasing the protection of resources and societal benefits. For degraded estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems, restoration and rehabilitation initiatives are important intervention strategies used to reverse the loss of habitats and biotic resources and to support management programs. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are an integral element of marine management plans to conserve and sustain estuarine and coastal marine environments by protecting threatened ecosystems and their resources from anthropogenic activities. National and international regulatory frameworks and directives are also in place to protect and conserve these environments.
