认识到需要对整个生态系统进行管理，人们广泛主张采取协调、全面的办法来治理沿海生态系统。尽管承诺采取沿海区综合管理和基于生态系统的渔业管理等办法，但治理仍然支离破碎，环境、渔业和林业等部门从国家到村庄都保持着各自的治理体系。这些系统包括建立单独的社区结构，直接向各部门部委报告。这就提出了一个问题，即这种协作治理方法如何与采取更集成、更全面的管理方法保持一致。本文借鉴了肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚桑给巴尔的沿海村庄的研究结果，这些村庄已经形成了森林和渔业管理小组。研究发现，这些群体在相互隔离的“筒仓”中运作，与他们所依赖的相互关联的生态系统形成鲜明对比，计划和优先事项之间几乎没有协调。此外，这些团体与地方政府的关系不一致，直接对部门部委而不是民主的地方政府负责，这就产生了问责和可持续性问题。必须解决部门重点和长期可持续性的双重挑战，才能综合有效地管理生态系统。
Taking a coordinated, holistic approach to the governance of coastal ecosystems is widely advocated in recognition of the need to manage ecosystems as a whole. Despite commitment to approaches such as integrated coastal zone management and ecosystem-based management of fisheries, governance remains fragmented, with sectors such as environment, fisheries and forestry maintaining separate systems of governance from the national to village level. These systems include the formation of separate community-based structures, reporting directly to the respective sectoral ministry. This raises questions about how this collaborative governance approach aligns with taking a more integrated, holistic approach to management. The paper draws on findings from research in Kenya and Zanzibar-Tanzania in coastal villages where forest and fisheries management groups have been formed. The research found that the groups operate in compartmentalised ‘silos', in contrast to the interrelated ecosystems on which they depend, with little coordination of plans and priorities. In addition, these groups are not consistent in their relationship to local government, answering directly to the sectoral ministry rather than democratic local government, raising issues for accountability and sustainability. These dual challenges of a sectoral-focus and long-term sustainability must be addressed for management of ecosystems to be integrated and effective.
