Special Issue on “Sustainable Coastal Social-ecological Systems”- International Journal of Sustainable Development and World Ecology
Understanding human-nature interactions is vital for implementing development practices that optimize human well-being and sustain resource utilization. Coastal systems comprising both social and ecological elements of interconnected reliance across multiple scales can be conceptualized as complex socio-ecological systems (SES). Approximately 40% of global population lives within 100 km of the shore, and global change is rapidly shifting boundary conditions of both human and ecological domains within these coastal SES. The objective of this special issue is to advance understanding of the sustainability of human-nature interactions within coastal settings through theoretical SES approaches and related analytical methods.
