在满足人类需求的同时维持生态系统及其提供的利益是一项全球性挑战。沿海海洋系统是一个特别重要的案例，因为世界上50%的人口生活在离海岸100公里的范围内，渔业是全球10亿人的主要蛋白质来源。我们在这里进行的综合分析使我们对耦合的社会-生态系统的可持续性有了完全不同的理解，这与生物物理学或社会科学所提供的完全不同，说明了将社会-生态系统框架用于耦合系统的比较分析的可行性和价值，特别是在数据匮乏和发展中国家的情况下。当生态过程的规模与负责管理人与环境相互作用的人类机构很好地匹配时，环境治理就会更有效。社会生态系统框架为如何评估有助于可持续资源利用和管理的社会和生态层面提供了指导，但很少以空间上明确的、定量的方式在多个地方实施。在这里，我们使用墨西哥南巴哈加利福尼亚小规模渔业的案例来确定不同的SES区域，并测试耦合SESS理论的关键方面。在一个方面表现出较大社会-生态可持续性潜力的区域不一定在其他方面表现出来，这突出了在实施空间规划和其他基于生态系统的战略时进行综合、耦合的系统分析的重要性。
Meeting human needs while sustaining ecosystems and the benefits they provide is a global challenge. Coastal marine systems present a particularly important case, given that >50% of the world’s population lives within 100 km of the coast and fisheries are the primary source of protein for >1 billion people worldwide. Our integrative analysis here yields an understanding of the sustainability of coupled social-ecological systems that is quite distinct from that provided by either the biophysical or the social sciences alone and that illustrates the feasibility and value of operationalizing the social-ecological systems framework for comparative analyses of coupled systems, particularly in data-poor and developing nation settings. Environmental governance is more effective when the scales of ecological processes are well matched with the human institutions charged with managing human–environment interactions. The social-ecological systems (SESs) framework provides guidance on how to assess the social and ecological dimensions that contribute to sustainable resource use and management, but rarely if ever has been operationalized for multiple localities in a spatially explicit, quantitative manner. Here, we use the case of small-scale fisheries in Baja California Sur, Mexico, to identify distinct SES regions and test key aspects of coupled SESs theory. Regions that exhibit greater potential for social-ecological sustainability in one dimension do not necessarily exhibit it in others, highlighting the importance of integrative, coupled system analyses when implementing spatial planning and other ecosystem-based strategies.
