Innovation By Design: Improving Learning Networks in Coastal Management is the result of 18-months deliberation by experts with experience in coastal resources management from academia, government, business and environmental organizations. This study reviews the role of coastal managers and the diverse community of organizations and individuals involved in decisions that affect coastal lands, waters, and natural resources. It describes how they learn about and apply innovative and successful processes, practices, and tools for coastal problem solving. The committee recommends how government and nongovernmental organizations can be more responsive in providing needed information in the most useful form to coastal managers so they in turn can be better stewards of our coastal resources.

A knowledge management study carried out for IUCN. For more than five decades IUCN has used its knowledge to lead and guide conservation thinking around the world. Through its knowledge networks comprised of Commissions and Members, supported by the Secretariat, IUCN has built a remarkable reputation based on its ability to generate, mobilise and provide sound scientific and technical knowledge and advice towards the changes it wants to see in the world. This report suggests a series of strategic moves for IUCN to upgrade to the next generation of strategies and processes for mobilizing its knowledge, its relationships and its communications. The Study includes a review of the evolution of knowledge management and current trends as well as tables of definitions and typologies of networks and communications practices.

An essential element in the development, and monitoring, of resource management plans is the information provided by fisheries data collected across the three districts. The data collection protocol has been adapted since the Programme’s inception in 1994 and the most significant modification took place in January 2002. A more detailed analysis of the fisheries data was required in order to better determine the effect of the management plans and their associated activities. This consultancy therefore undertook a thorough review of all historical protocols, an analysis of the available fisheries data, and provides some recommendations on future monitoring protocols.

Using Geographic Information System (GIS) analyses and literature review, this study examines the current List of Natural and Mixed WH Sites from the perspective of natural values related to biogeography, habitats and biodiversity. The review addresses Criteria (ix) and (x) under the draft revised Operational Guidelines (OGs) ([ii] and [iv] under the current OGs) - Criteria (vii) and (viii) are not addressed.

   

The strategy paper analyses the coverage of the world’s existing natural and mixed World Heritage (WH) sites and sets out some indicative future priorities. It is largely based on a more detailed analysis (available separately) of the world’s natural and mixed WH sites undertaken by the United Nations Environment Programme’s World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), titled: “A Review of the Global World Heritage Network: Biogeography, Habitats and Biodiversity”.
