Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

Assessing and strengthening community‐based coastal governance
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Community‐based coastal governance is essential for biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods, yet many communities continue to face significant challenges in establishing and sustaining effective governance systems. We sought to improve understanding of the current status of community‐based coastal governance across five countries

Assessing responses of reef island seabirds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Tropical insular ecosystems face escalating, cumulative impacts of land‐ and sea‐based ecological threats that jeopardize the long‐term sustainability of their native communities. This joint vulnerability is epitomized by reef island seabirds, which are exposed to reef decline and coastal erosion driven by climate change, reduction in prey ...

Assessing the effectiveness of Sri Lankan marine protected areas: Challenges and recommendations
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.We evaluated the biodiversity conservation effectiveness of 32 zones of Sri Lankan marine protected areas (MPA) and found that most are currently insufficiently protected. Threats to MPAs were not uniform, with harmful dredging/dumping, anchoring, fishing, and non‐extractive activities identified as major pressures affecting different sets of MPAs.
