Marine social-ecological systems (SES) are shaped by many related social and environmental processes, such as ocean warming and acidification, human migration, and seafood trade. Together, these environmental and social processes have major influences on coastal marine ecosystems and the human communities that depend on them. They affect abundance and diversity of marine species, shape social and economic life within a community, and influence systems of governance. Understanding these effects is particularly relevant for small-scale fisheries as they employ over 90% of fishers globally and provide food and labor opportunities for hundreds of millions of people. This study will identify and evaluate responses to social and environmental change that shape the governance and sustainability of natural resource systems. The focal SES of this study encompasses small-scale fisheries. After 25 collaborative projects conducted over the last 20 years, the research team is well-positioned to create a model for SES synthesis and analysis that is grounded in knowledge from diverse disciplines and perspectives and is relevant to small-scale fisheries in coastal marine systems and communities around the globe. The project will build capacity in integrated SES science by supporting an early career investigator and education and training activities for graduate and undergraduate students and postdoctoral scholars. In addition, it will develop interdisciplinary collaboration in marine conservation and management, lead to information-sharing through further development of an open source digital platform, and engage decision makers, fishers, and other community members through workshop activities.This project will produce novel and generalizable insights concerning the operation and transformation of integrated socio-environmental systems (SES) and improve scientific understanding of adaptive responses to environmental and social change in a culturally and economically important transboundary marine ecosystem. The focus is on the SESs associated with small-scale fisheries and the work is guided by the overall research question: What are the observed responses, either adaptive or maladaptive, to social and environmental drivers of change that shape the governance and sustainability of natural resources and the human communities that depend on them? The investigators will synthesize diverse datasets covering oceanographic, ecological, fishery, socioeconomic, and governance system components that the team has assembled through previous research projects and sustained engagement with regional stakeholders and ecosystems. They will use a series of spatially explicit and hierarchically structured models, informed by expert knowledge of individuals with diverse disciplinary and institutional perspectives, to test hypotheses related to 1) the frequency and spatial extent of environmental and social drivers of change; 2) influences of these drivers on governance arrangements; and 3) the ability of cooperative governance arrangements to withstand shocks and exhibit adaptive strategies in the face of change. The goal is to understand causal pathways and processes leading to divergent socio-environmental outcomes and contribute to the theory of adaptation in practice.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

海洋社会生态系统(SES)是由许多相关的社会和环境过程塑造的，如海洋变暖和酸化、人类迁徙和海产品贸易。这些环境和社会进程共同对沿海海洋生态系统和依赖它们的人类社区产生重大影响。它们影响海洋物种的丰富性和多样性，塑造社区内的社会和经济生活，并影响治理系统。了解这些影响对小型渔业特别重要，因为它们雇用了全球90%以上的渔民，并为数亿人提供了食物和劳动力机会。这项研究将确定和评估对社会和环境变化的反应，这些变化塑造了自然资源系统的治理和可持续性。本研究的重点SES包括小规模渔业。在过去20年中开展了25个合作项目后，研究小组已处于有利地位，能够创建一个基于不同学科和视角的知识的SES综合和分析模型，并与全球沿海海洋系统和社区的小规模渔业有关。该项目将通过支持一名早期职业调查员以及研究生、本科生和博士后学者的教育和培训活动，建设综合SES科学方面的能力。此外，该项目还将在海洋养护和管理方面开展跨学科合作，通过进一步开发开放源码数字平台实现信息共享，并通过讲习班活动使决策者、渔民和其他社区成员参与进来。该项目将就综合社会环境系统的运作和转变提出新的和可概括的见解，并提高对在文化和经济上具有重要意义的跨界生态系统中环境和社会变化的适应性反应的科学理解。重点放在与小规模渔业有关的SESS上，工作以总体研究问题为指导：观察到的对影响自然资源和依赖自然资源的人类社区的治理和可持续性的变化的社会和环境驱动因素的反应，无论是适应性的还是非适应性的？研究人员将综合不同的数据集，涵盖海洋、生态、渔业、社会经济和治理系统的组成部分，这些数据集是该团队通过以前的研究项目以及与区域利益攸关方和生态系统的持续接触而收集的。他们将使用一系列空间明确和层次分明的模型，利用具有不同学科和机构观点的个人的专业知识来测试与以下假设有关的假设：1)环境和社会变化驱动因素的频率和空间范围；2)这些驱动因素对治理安排的影响；3)合作治理安排抵御冲击和展示面对变化的适应性战略的能力。其目标是了解导致不同社会环境结果的因果路径和过程，并在实践中为适应理论做出贡献。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
