Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels.

We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts.

Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.

《Ocean and Coastal Management》是一本国际领先的期刊，专注于全球及地方层面海洋与沿海管理的各个方面。

我们发表来自各个学科的经过严格同行评审的手稿，包括跨学科和共同设计的研究，但所有提交的论文必须明确与可持续发展和海洋、沿海保护相关的管理和/或治理问题的相关性。

我们鼓励进行比较研究（从次国家到跨国案例，以及其他管理/政策领域），也欢迎对当前管理实践和治理方法进行批判性评估的研究。涉及严谨分析、理论发展和管理实践改进的提交尤其受到欢迎。

Removals of crown-of-thorns sea stars (Acanthaster planci L.) are crucial initiatives in limiting the damage to coral reefs during outbreaks, but have often been unable to control the populations. We hypothesized that reef topography and exact timing of removals (before reproduction) determine their success and studied these in reefs along the western shore of Samal Island in the Philippines. An outbreak of A. planci was successfully removed from an isolated reef (surrounding water column >40 m) during 42 dive hours. In August 2009, the removal rate was initially 14 specimens h−1, which sharply decreased to less than 4 h−1 after the third removal. From May 2011 onward, no specimens were observed. All sea stars were found at depths ≤18 m, which confirmed that migration to isolated reefs is very unlikely. Mean gonado-somatic index (GSI) ranged from 6 to 15 in April–May 2010 and March–April 2011. During the rest of the year, mean GSI ranged between 0 and 4. Maximum GSI of 22.0 was found for one female specimen in April 2010. Maturation occurred at a diameter of 13 cm (female) and 16 cm (male). Diameter frequency distributions showed a new cohort (7 ≤ diameter ≤ 10 cm) between November 2009 and February 2010. To accurately compare results of various studies, relationships between underwater diameter, surface diameter, and crown-of-thorns weight, were established. Removals are recommended to be performed in isolated reefs, where migration from adjacent areas is limited, and before reproduction in April (Northern hemisphere), reducing the chance of future outbreaks.

Resilient sandy beach ecosystems adapt to sea level rise while preserving their structure, function and feedbacks. Coastal processes, such as landward migration, enable sandy beach ecosystems to retreat as sea levels increase. Migrating beaches provide refugia where species can persist over geological timescales. However, bouldered beachwalls, used to protect coastal development from coastal erosion, form barriers that significantly impede beach retreat. The extent beachwalls change the resilience of sandy beach ecosystems is unknown. Through synthesis of existing research, we propose a framework that theoretically assesses the resilience of sandy beach ecosystems using the characteristic properties of resilient ecosystems, elasticity, amplitude, hysteresis and malleability. Resilience behaviour of sandy beach ecosystems is critically influenced by beachwalls. Beachwalls decrease elasticity: the rate of recovery, and amplitude: the ability to withstand disturbance. Beachwalls also restrict recovery via the reverse of degradation, thereby increasing hysteresis. Malleability increases as the resemblance of sandy beach ecosystems after recovery diverges from pre-impact condition. Our findings highlight the significance of integrating ecosystem resilience into the design and implementation of coastal management strategies that facilitate the preservation of suitable habitats in which species can persist.
