Abstract

Human philosophies for interactions with the environment have, at least in the past, been generally divided between major themes of either (a) human separation from nature, with humans and nature comprising two separate and often opposing elements, or (b) a state of harmony between humans and the environment, with humans as an integral part of the environment. In great part, many of the most widely viewed concepts for marine protected areas (MPAs) around the world have stemmed from the former human-environment philosophy, while the concept of Satoumi was born from the latter human-environment philosophy. However, a shared evolution of the Satoumi concept with science-based resource management as a foundation for MPAs may provide a successful strategy for achieving provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity and UN Sustainable Development Goals across three dimensions: social, economic, and environmental. A resulting hybrid MPA management structure utilizing positive aspects of both top-down central government-driven and bottom-up local community-driven approaches, both interwoven with innovations of science, may be an ideal solution for long-term conservation and sustainable use of marine resources while fully engaging the principles of Satoumi.
