- 5. EBFM - wicked problems Rittel & Webber 1973, Churchman 1976 Super wicked problems 1. Time is running out 2. No central authority 3. Those seeking to solve the problem are also causing it 4. Policies discount the future irrationally

- 11. Review of examples: Ingredients for success in EBFM âĸ Develop frameworks for implementation âĸ Trade-offs & synergies âĸ Find a honest champion âĸ Use whatever governance mandate exist âĸ Acknowledge power of/ownership between sectors âĸ Use momentum but temper expectations Marshak et al 2016
- 12. Scoping stakeholders The clearer the scope, the better the outcome Relevance, credibility, legitimacy
- 13. 8 tenets for scientists, policy-makers, and managers (i) engage with players early, often, and continually; (ii) conduct rigorous human dimensions research; (iii) recognize the importance of transparently selecting indicators; (iv) set ecosystem targets to create a system of EBM accountability; (v) establish a formal mechanism(s) for the review of science; (vi) serve current management needs, but not at the expense of more integrative ocean management; (vii) provide a venue for EBM decision-making that takes full advantage of IEA products; (viii) embrace realistic expectations about science and its implementation.
