Abstract

We employed a social-ecological systems (SES) framework to investigate the interplay of social and ecological factors influencing the sustainable management of common pool resources, the Sundarbans mangrove forest region in Bangladesh as a case study. Through qualitative and quantitative analyses, we identified positive and negative correlations between dimensions of the SES. Four positive and two negative correlations between dimensions of social systems and ecological systems highlighted the interconnectedness of dimensions in the SES framework. Our study only considered spatial variation across the four SES dimensions, which revealed distinct management practices within the region. Our findings underscored the importance of tailored management strategies to address specific SES dimensions. Enhanced stakeholder participation and institutional frameworks could bolster governance systems and actor capacity, while interventions targeting ecosystem health and species populations may improve sustainable resource systems and resource unit capacity. Our findings provide insights for policymakers and practitioners who seek to promote the sustainability of small-scale fisheries within SES contexts.

孟加拉国孙德尔本斯红树林地区可持续小规模渔业管理的社会生态动态

我们采用社会生态系统（SES）框架，以孟加拉国孙德尔本斯红树林地区为例，研究了影响公共池资源可持续管理的社会和生态因素的相互作用。通过定性和定量分析，我们确定了社会经济体系各维度之间的正相关和负相关。社会系统和生态系统维度之间的四个正相关和两个负相关突出了SES框架中维度的相互联系。我们的研究只考虑了四个SES维度的空间变化，这揭示了该地区不同的管理实践。我们的研究结果强调了定制管理策略以解决特定SES维度的重要性。加强利益相关者的参与和机构框架可以加强治理系统和行动者的能力，而针对生态系统健康和物种种群的干预措施可以改善可持续资源系统和资源单位的能力。我们的研究结果为在SES背景下寻求促进小规模渔业可持续性的政策制定者和实践者提供了见解。

期刊介绍： Fisheries Management and Ecology is a journal with an international perspective. It presents papers that cover all aspects of the management, ecology and conservation of inland, estuarine and coastal fisheries. The Journal aims to: foster an understanding of the maintenance, development and management of the conditions under which fish populations and communities thrive, and how they and their habitat can be conserved and enhanced; promote a thorough understanding of the dual nature of fisheries as valuable resources exploited for food, recreational and commercial purposes and as pivotal indicators of aquatic habitat quality and conservation status; help fisheries managers focus upon policy, management, operational, conservation and ecological issues; assist fisheries ecologists become more aware of the needs of managers for information, techniques, tools and concepts; integrate ecological studies with all aspects of management; ensure that the conservation of fisheries and their environments is a recurring theme in fisheries and aquatic management.
