Sustentabilidade das regiões costeiras e oceânicas – necessidade de um novo relacionamento entre ciência e gestão

Abstract

Ocean and coastal zones provide a range of benefits and ecosystem services that have been extensively threatened by the multiple uses of such ecosystems. Achieving marine sustainability is a complex task that requires integrated and ecosystem-based management systems and new models for knowledge production which are more interdisciplinary and applied. In this regard, interdisciplinary scientific research and post-normal science constitute a new manner of producing science, of understanding and managing marine ecosystems through approaches which promote a new relationship between science and policy in ocean research
