“…Integrated marine management involving stakeholders can be regarded as consisting of four steps-integration, adaptation, participation, and collaboration (Figure 1, adapted from Carvalho and Fidélis, 2013). Stakeholders play a key role in each of these steps and indeed drive those steps through the engagement and participatory process.…”

This paper fulfils a gap in environmental management by producing a typology of stakeholders for effective participatory processes and co-design of solutions to complex social-environmental issues and then uses this typology for a stepwise roadmap methodology for balanced and productive stakeholder engagement. Definitions are given of terminology that is frequently used interchangeably such as "stakeholders," "social actors," and "interested parties." Whilst this analysis comes from a marine perspective, it is relevant to all environments and the means of tackling environmental problems. Eleven research questions about participative processes are addressed, based on more than 30 years of experience in water, estuarine, coastal, and marine management. A stepwise roadmap, supported by illustrative tables based on case-studies, shows how a balanced stakeholder selection and real engagement may be achieved. The paper brings these together in the context of several up-to-date concepts such as complex, nested governance, the 10 tenets for integrated, successful, and sustainable marine management, the System Approach Framework and the evolution of DPSIR into DAPSI(W)R(M) framework. Examples given are based on the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, the Water Framework Directive, the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive, the Framework Directive for Maritime Spatial Planning, as well as for Regional Sea Conventions. The paper also shows how tools that have been developed in recent projects can be put to use to implement policy and maximize the effectiveness of stakeholder participation.

“…The nine environmental governance strategies that we identify in Table 4 provide a good alternative for building a step by step pathways that can transform the Gulf desalination industry into a more inclusive and sustainable one. The pathways for transition to sustainability entail inclusion of formal and informal rules, conflict resolution, holistic approach, transparency in decision making, and collaboration with all stakeholders (Biermann, 2012;Carvalho and Fidé lis, 2013;Schroeder, 2014).…”

“…He added that social scientists are not comfortable with notions like environmental policy because it does not adequately address human interactions with planetary system, just as the term environmental management connotes technocratic, top-down and centralised management. As an alternative to the traditional management concept, the new paradigm of the Earth system governance underscores the need for engaging formal and informal rules, rules making systems, holistic approach, conflict resolution, transparent decision making, and collaboration with all stakeholders in order to achieve efficient, legitimate and equitable transitions to sustainability (Biermann, 2012;Carvalho and Fidé lis, 2013;Schroeder, 2014).…”

“…So far, estuaries have not been considered as unique territorial and environmental units and management approaches have shown to be inadequate to cope with their complexities and challenges. Their inadequacy stems from a variety of issues such as the scale, the lack of ordering of uses on water bodies in order to minimize existing conflicts, the fragmentation or overlaps of approaches of different government sectors or the lack of coordination between the existing planning and management instruments (Carvalho and Fid elis 2013).…”

Estuarine areas often concentrate complex and conflicting sets of natural, economic and social resources and activities with multiple challenges to planning and management approaches as well as to governance practices. Using a set of integration factors depicted from the literature review, the paper analyzes the main features of the new set of the Portuguese estuary types of plans and assesses their potential added value, while focusing the analysis on the estuary of the Vouga River (Ria de Aveiro). The results are twofold. On the one side, their uniqueness, by treating the estuary as a planning unit, integrating the water resources and the land use planning systems and by establishing mandatory rules for the estuary uses, embodies relevant potential for reducing boundary tensions and to improve integrative approaches. On the other side, while at the level of plan content the contribution of the Portuguese Estuary Land Use and Management Plans (Planos de Ordenamento de Estu ario) legislation brings strong new prospects for integration, at the level of planning process and implementation, further efforts should be undertaken. Their added value, especially in complex institutional and societal estuarine contexts, such as the Ria de Aveiro, strongly depends on more robust participation schemes through which knowledge, institutions, aims and measures are articulated in a collective vision and shared governance process.
