New article out in Geo: Geography and Environment with an interdisciplinary dream team of coauthors: “From maps to models: Participation and contestability in the dynamic management of natural resources.” doi.org/10.1002/geo2... (open access)

How does stakeholder participation in natural resource management change when conservation rules are grounded in near real-time data? Recent technological advances have increased the feasibility of the ‘dynamic management’ of natural resources, which promises to align the spatiotemporal scales of management with ecological variability and resource use. Drawing on Kelty's (2020) concept of ‘contributory autonomy’, this article offers a critical comparison of how participation is conceived of in the more established context of static conservation areas and planning versus the emergent field of dynamic management. A systematic review of the dynamic ocean management literature reveals a varied, but shallow engagement with the topic of stakeholder participation in that context. Whereas static management regimes are governed by relatively intuitive and contestable maps, dynamic management is governed by models and data flows. Overall, the decision-making stakeholder of participatory mapping processes under static management is displaced by the stakeholder conceived as an ‘end-user’ of a dynamic management product and consultant in its design. Yet, these shifts also open up potential points of contestation, which may pattern the future theory and practice of participation in dynamic management: counterdata, countermodelling and data chokepoints. Beyond the empirical focus on oceans, this article contributes to broader conversations about the political stakes of environmental data, and algorithmic and artificial intelligence-driven natural resource conservation by considering how possibilities for participation are foreclosed, enabled and reconstituted by new spatiotemporal and technological conditions.

The High Seas Treaty is poised to be ratified, creating a legal instrument for protected areas in the high seas. We see a crucial role for "Collective Science" to provide robust biodiversity data and to help inform protection of this vast 3D space. Read more in Ecology Letters: tinyurl.com/33637jax
