“…This has some implications for interpretation of the findings, and is an interesting comparator with ecosystem-based studies. Like oysters, which are well-documented providers of ecosystem benefits (Michaelis et al, 2020), cockles are often the dominant entity or 'keystone' of the coastal ecosystem in which they live. However, some of the cultural values associated with it are not limited to the organism but occur through wider associations.…”

“…Comprehensive assessments of the suite of ecosystem services provided by shellfish for both cultured and wild-harvested bivalve species (see Carss et al, 2020;Smaal et al, 2019;van der Schatte Olivier et al, 2018) highlight that the importance of cultural services provided by bivalves is gaining increasing recognition. It has been suggested that knowledge of CES is more likely to motivate engagement from the public in restoration or new aquaculture initiatives than knowledge of provisioning, regulating or supporting services (Michaelis et al, 2020). Yet the CES associated with bivalves still remain poorly researched and quantified (Carss et al, 2020;van der Schatte Olivier et al, 2018).…”

“…However, identifying that these gaps, or similarities, exist is the first step. To fully understand the motivations underlying the models' topologies will require more in-depth qualitative techniques such as further interviews, photo voice exercises (Michaelis, Walton, Webster, & Shaffer, 2020), or participant observational engagements out on the water.…”

Nature provides numerous ecosystem services to people, yet the prioritization of these services often depends on the goals of various stakeholder groups. The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is an ecologically important species along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the United States, where it provides essential fish habitat and may mitigate against climatic variations in urban areas. The eastern oyster also supports a multimillion dollar aquaculture industry in coastal communities. Recent declines in eastern oyster populations, however, have spurred widespread restoration activities. Here, we look at three expert stakeholder groups (academics, nongovernmental organizations, and governmental agencies) in Rhode Island (United States) to understand how stakeholder perceptions of oyster ecosystem services differ. Stakeholders' mental models showed differences among the groups' topologies and components, although the terms "Water Quality" and "Habitat/Structural Complexity" were prioritized in all the groups. Our results suggest that there is substantial intergroup variation, but that there are common threads around which future oyster restoration and management programs can be designed. By making these mental models of ecosystem services explicit, we illuminate tacit assumptions held by different stakeholders of the oyster stakeholder community in Rhode Island. In doing so, we highlight opportunities for more efficient collaboration around commonly shared goals for sustainable social and ecological management.

“…In doing so, this study contributes to the fields of ethnobiology and ethnobotany by offering rich data on Native American experiences, knowledges, and observations of phenological and biodiversity change in response to climate change and climate impact on Native landscape use and management in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. While non-Indigenous resource-dependent communities have made significant contributions to ES scholarship (see Gould et al 2014;Michaelis et al 2020), we deliberately focus on Indigenous people in this paper, as the history of long-term land stewardship and subsequent land dispossession and mismanagement under colonialism has shaped both the impacts of and responses to climate change in Indigenous communities and landscapes in unique and specific ways. Indigenous communities are currently at the front lines of climate change, not only in terms of ecological and social vulnerability, but also through their leadership in climate change research and responses (Grantham 2018;Karuk Tribe 2019).…”

In the Klamath River Basin (KRB) of northern California and southern Oregon, climate-related changes, such as more intense droughts, varied and concentrated precipitation, earlier spring and later fall conditions, extreme temperatures, and decreased snowpack have contributed to increasingly unpredictable plant reproduction and harvest cycles. In this study, we explore contemporary relationships between plants and Indigenous People in the KRB, identifying benefits of cultural ecosystem services (CES) derived from Indigenous stewarding and gathering of culturally significant plants, and discuss how these services may change based on climate change observations and experiences. This study contributes to the conceptualization of Indigenous Cultural Ecosystem Services (ICES), providing a framework for the incorporation of Indigenous concepts, approaches, and perspectives into assessments of ecosystem services (ES) and, particularly, CES. It highlights the value of Indigenous perspectives and observations of climate change effects on plant reproduction and productivity, as well as their contribution to cultural ecosystem resilience and adaptation under changing climate conditions. We propose that incorporating Indigenous concepts and approaches to assessing CES and ES could lead to more holistic management decisions and better-informed climate adaptation initiatives with greater ES for all.
