- Delivering scientific evidence for global policy and management to ensure ocean sustainabilityPublication . Evans, K.; Schmidt, J. O.; Addo, K. Appeaning; Bebianno, Maria; Campbell, D.; Fan, J.; Gonzalez-Quiros, R.; Mohammed, E. Y.; Shojaei, M. G.; Smolyanitsky, V.; Zhang, C.-I.Life depends on the ocean, with societal health, cultural systems and national economies reliant on ocean processes and resources. As ocean resources are used, and humans continue to drive climate change, the benefts from the ocean to society are being diminished. Science must meet the needs of policy and deliver to decision makers the information and tools for iden tifying pathways that support continued delivery of the benefts society derives from the ocean, whilst minimising impacts. This is crucial if the world’s nations are to meet the goals and targets they have set under international agreements. Here, we outline how a global assessment that focuses specifcally on the ocean, the World Ocean Assessment, is linking science to the governments of the world and their policies within an internationally mandated framework. In doing so, we identify key elements that are needed for facilitating engagement by decision makers and uptake of knowledge, and the pathways taken by the assessment in implementing them. We also provide insights into the evolution that the World Ocean Assessment has undertaken over its frst three cycles to progress its goal of enhancing the scientifc basis of policymaking. We identify the challenges in delivering science to policy at a global scale and the work that still needs to be done in flling gaps to achieve a coordinated, comprehensive mechanism for connecting science with policy and ensuring future sustainability of the ocean.
- Tide mills in Faro, Portugal proposal of a pedestrian routePublication . Marçal Gonçalves, MartaWith the Algarve having a predominantly Mediterranean climate, the invitation to make pedestrian walks is something with which Nature itself collaborates. Proposing new pedestrian paths in the city of Faro, based on cultural heritage, is something that is obviously part of this territory. The reasons for writing this paper relate to the issue of valuing vernacular heritage that is not yet recognized as cultural heritage by most people and its preservation for future memory. The research was based on bibliographical, webgraphic and field surveys and the framework of this proposal is pedestrian cultural tourism, which is a sustainable way of doing tourism and knowing the cities. The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to a heritage that goes unnoticed by most people and that has a tourist potential that can be very important, especially in the Algarve region (southern Portugal), of which the city of Faro is the capital, as it is a highly touristic region. During the development of the research was identified the location of several tide mills in the city of Faro, although most are in ruins. However, these places and ruins are part of the collective memory and deserve to be disclosed and valued, showing tourist potential. The novelty of this work are the objects of study: the tide mills of the city of Faro. In this city, the vast majority of this vernacular heritage goes completely unnoticed, especially for those who do not live in the city. Drawing attention to these elements, the competent authorities are expected to be more committed to their preservation and enhancement.
