“…Our findings also contribute to broader debates regarding reconciling biodiversity conservation with social justice and human rights (Newing & Perram, 2019;Shoreman-Ouimet & Kopnina, 2015); and in particular the need to ensure the costs of conservation are equitably distributed, and that conservation interventions "do no harm" (Balmford & Whitten, 2003;Bennett et al, 2019;Giron-Nava et al, 2021;Griffiths, Bull, Baker, & Milner-Gulland, 2019). In small-scale fisheries, one option for simultaneously delivering conservation and social welfare outcomes could be through compensation or payment for ecosystem service schemes, which incentivize fishers to reduce capture of the most threatened species while maintaining their material well-being (Bladon, Short, Mohammed, & Milner-Gulland, 2016;Booth, Arlidge, & Squires, 2021;Wosnick, Da Costa De Lima Wosiak, & Machado Filho, 2020). Given the high value of the shark and ray tourism industry in Indonesia (Mustika, Ichsan, & Booth, 2020;O'Malley, Lee-Brooks, & Medd, 2013), it could be possible to gather funding through tourism taxes or donations, and channel this into conservation, including fisher compensation for economic losses incurred from not catching sharks (Vianna et al, 2018).…”
