Science for Managers
)
The aim of this session
• To consider the critical science/manager interface
• Implications for how it might be addressed in future GEF IW programs

)
Panel has first hand experience of, program design and management of research conduct and of the post research communication tasks of applying the resulting information to management objectives.
The session will explore the science management interface from both sides

What are the challenges for transboundary water systems with regard to climatic variability and change?
What do governments and transboundary waters joint institutions need to do to address those challenges?
What type of assistance is needed from GEF IW focal area to meet those challenges during the next GEF replenishment?

Lessons from ICOM
University of WollongongAustralian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security
•Fisheries management without demonstrable sustainability and performance reporting does not work
•Marine parks without the human element don’t work
•Integration hard but essential
Lessons from failure of MPAs
University of WollongongAustralian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security
•Paper parks breed poaching and collapse•People not involved, aren’t aware,
don’t comply•Managers not resourced, don’t enforce,
don’t involve •Designs unenforceable•Biophysical science base good - Socioeconomic base poor
EBM:
University of WollongongAustralian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security
•Scientifically informed•Socio economically informed•Integrated – the policy umbrella•Multiple use•Demonstrably sustainable use•Marine Reserves conserve biological
diversity•Maintains ecosystem processes

Barriers to science?
“Barriers to science in the coastal zone”.Salvat, B., ed 1987 . Human Impacts on
Coral Reefs: Facts and Recommendations

Barriers to Management?
We don’t manage marine ecosystems We manage human behaviours
– what people do or do not do.
The science of the drivers of human uses and impacts lags far behind the science of their effects.
