Given the current natural and anthropogenic threats facing Qatar's marine environment and the consequential expected decline in ecosystem services, this paper examines the potential application of the Ecosystem Services-EBM framework developed by Granek et al. (2010) to sustainably manage Qatar's coral reef and seagrass bed ecosystems. Using interviews with stakeholders and field-collected data from sixteen coral reef sites and 6 seagrass meadows as well as secondary data, the paper presents new knowledge regarding the status of these ecosystems and the benefits they provide that are most valued by stakeholders. The research identifies existing and missing ecological and socio-economic data, as well as the processes and management strategies required to implement the five-step framework within a Qatari context. Key goals for implementing EBM identified by stakeholders include: adoption of scientific planning and valuation of marine environment, contextualizing and drafting legislation, regulations and policies in support of EBM; monitoring and enforcement of laws; and, promotion of public awareness and engagement. The article concludes with recommendations for filling remaining data gaps and highlights opportunities available to Qatar to become a leader in implementing EBM. These include maximizing the increasing role that stakeholders can play in mitigating further decline of the country's coastal ecosystems and leveraging mega events planned in Qatar, such as FIFA World Cup 2022.

应用生态系统服务-EBM框架来可持续管理卡塔尔的珊瑚礁和海草床

考虑到卡塔尔海洋环境当前面临的自然和人为威胁,以及生态系统服务的相应预期下降,本文研究了Granek等人开发的Ecosystem Services-EBM框架的潜在应用。(2010年)以可持续方式管理卡塔尔的珊瑚礁和海草床生态系统。通过与利益相关者的访谈以及来自16个珊瑚礁站点和6个海草草甸的实地收集数据以及辅助数据,本文提供了有关这些生态系统的现状及其所带来的利益最有价值的知识的新知识。研究确定了现有和缺失的生态和社会经济数据,以及在卡塔尔语境中实施五步框架所需的流程和管理策略。利益相关者确定的实施循证医学的主要目标包括:通过科学规划和评估海洋环境,根据背景和起草法律,法规和政策以支持循证医学;监督和执行法律;以及提高公众意识和参与度。本文最后提出了填补剩余数据空白的建议,并着重介绍了卡塔尔可利用的机会,以成为实施EBM的领导者。这些措施包括最大限度地发挥利益相关者在缓解该国沿海生态系统进一步衰落中发挥的作用,以及利用卡塔尔计划的大型活动(例如FIFA 2022年世界杯)发挥更大的作用。支持循证医学的法规和政策;监督和执行法律;以及提高公众意识和参与度。本文最后提出了填补剩余数据空白的建议,并着重介绍了卡塔尔可利用的机会,以成为实施EBM的领导者。这些措施包括最大限度地发挥利益相关者在缓解该国沿海生态系统进一步衰落中发挥的作用,以及利用卡塔尔计划的大型活动(例如FIFA 2022年世界杯)发挥更大的作用。支持循证医学的法规和政策;监督和执行法律;以及提高公众意识和参与度。本文最后提出了填补剩余数据空白的建议,并着重介绍了卡塔尔可利用的机会,以成为实施EBM的领导者。这些措施包括最大程度地发挥利益相关者在缓解该国沿海生态系统进一步衰落中发挥的作用,以及利用卡塔尔计划的大型活动(例如FIFA 2022年世界杯)发挥更大的作用。
