Tropical coastal marine ecosystems (TCMEs) are rich in biodiversity and provide many ecosystem services, including carbon storage, shoreline protection, and food. Coastal areas are home to increasing numbers of people and population growth is expected to continue, putting TCMEs under pressure from development as well as broader environmental changes associated with climate change, e.g. sea level rise and ocean acidification. Attention to TCMEs by conservation organizations has increased and although a variety of interventions to promote conservation and sustainable development of TCMEs have been implemented, evidence regarding the outcomes of these—for people or ecosystems—is scattered and unclear. This study takes a systematic mapping approach to identify articles that examine the ecological and social outcomes associated with conservation interventions in TCMEs; specifically in coral reef, mangrove, and seagrass habitats. We developed a comprehensive framework of conservation interventions and outcomes, drawing on existing frameworks and related evidence synthesis projects, as well as interviews with marine conservation practitioners. We modified existing frameworks to: (i) include features of TCME that are not fully captured in existing frameworks; and (ii) further specify and/or regroup existing interventions or outcomes. We developed a search string informed by habitat, geography, interventions, and outcomes of interest, to search the peer-reviewed primary literature in four bibliographic databases and the grey literature on relevant institutional websites. All searches will be conducted in English. We will screen returned articles at the title and abstract level. Included articles will be screened at full text level and data coding will follow. Number of articles and reasons for excluding at full text level screening will be recorded. At each phase (title and abstract screening, full text screening, data coding), articles will be assessed independently by two members of the review team. Coded data will be reported in a narrative review and a database accessible through an open access, searchable data portal. We will summarize trends in the evidence base, identify interventions and outcomes where evidence can be further assessed in subsequent systematic reviews and where gaps in the literature exist, and discuss the implications of research gaps and gluts for TCME conservation policy, practice, and future research.

热带沿海海洋生态系统中养护措施的社会和生态结果：系统地图方案

热带沿海海洋生态系统（TCME）拥有丰富的生物多样性，并提供许多生态系统服务，包括碳储存，海岸线保护和粮食。沿海地区居住着越来越多的人，预计人口将继续增长，这将使TCME承受来自发展以及与气候变化有关的更广泛的环境变化（例如海平面上升和海洋酸化）的压力。保护组织对TCME的重视程度有所提高，尽管已采取各种干预措施以促进TCME的保护和可持续发展，但有关这些结果对人类或生态系统的证据尚不明确。这项研究采用了系统的制图方法，以查明与TCME保护措施相关的生态和社会成果的文章。特别是在珊瑚礁，红树林和海草栖息地。我们利用现有框架和相关证据综合项目，以及与海洋保护从业者的访谈，开发了一个保护措施和结果的综合框架。我们对现有框架进行了修改，以：（i）包含未在现有框架中充分体现的TCME功能；（ii）进一步指定和/或重组现有的干预措施或结果。我们根据栖息地，地理位置，干预措施和感兴趣的结果制定了搜索字符串，在四个书目数据库中搜索经过同行评审的主要文献，并在相关机构网站上搜索灰色文献。所有搜索将以英语进行。我们将在标题和摘要级别筛选返回的文章。包含的文章将在全文级别进行筛选，然后进行数据编码。将会记录文章的数量以及在全文级筛选中排除的原因。在每个阶段（标题和摘要筛查，全文筛查，数据编码），文章将由审阅团队的两名成员独立评估。编码后的数据将在叙述性评论中报告，并通过可访问的开放式可搜索数据门户访问数据库。我们将总结证据基础中的趋势，
