N1 - Funding Information:
This paper is part of the ‘Future Seas’ initiative ( www.FutureSeas2030.org ), hosted by the Centre for Marine Socioecology at the University of Tasmania. This initiative delivers a series of journal articles addressing key challenges for the UN International Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030. The concepts and methods applied in many of these papers were developed in large collaborative workshops involving more participants than are listed as co-authors here, and we are grateful for their collective input and for Gretta Pecl’s direction. Funding for Future Seas was provided by the Centre for Marine Socioecology, IMAS, MENZIES and the College of Arts, Law and Education, and the College of Science and Engineering at UTAS, and Snowchange from Finland. We acknowledge support from a Research Enhancement Program grant from the DVCR Office at UTAS. Thank you Jessica Melbourne Thomas for providing an internal project review of an earlier draft. Thanks to Flynn Slattery and Tullio Rossi from Animate your Science for the blue economy graphic. Kimberley Maxwell thanks the New Zealand Moana project ( www.moanaproject.org ), funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment, contract number METO1801, for supporting her time. Zau Lunn, Koen Meyers and Narissa Bax would like to thank the numerous individuals in the 22 project villages surrounding Meinmahla Kyun and those in Bogale who contributed to development of a five year management plan for the Meinmahla kyun Wildlife Sanctuary in 2016, supported by the ASEAN Centre of Biodiversity and Flora and Fauna International, Myanmar; recognising the substantive work of U Khin Maung Soe, U Saw Han Shein, Daw Moe Moe Min, Thant Zin Tun, Ko Ko Win, Thein Gi, Soe Tint Aung, Gurveena Ghataure, Patrick Oswald and Robert Howard. This paper is dedicated to Timothy R Dykman from Ocean Revolution ( www.oceanrevolution.org ), an advocate for the human-ocean-ecosystem, who sadly passed away in 2019. We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which this paper was written, the muwinina people and acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners and custodians of sea country all around the world. We recognise their collective wisdom and knowledge of our oceans and coasts.

N2 - Humans have relied on coastal resources for centuries. However, current growth in population and increased accessibility of coastal resources through technology have resulted in overcrowded and often conflicted spaces. The recent global move towards development of national blue economy strategies further highlights the increased focus on coastal resources to address a broad range of blue growth industries. The need to manage sustainable development and future exploitation of both over-utilised and emergent coastal resources is both a political and environmental complexity. To address this complexity, we draw on the perspectives of a multi-disciplinary team, utilising two in depth exemplary case studies in New Zealand and within the Myanmar Delta Landscape, to showcase barriers, pathways and actions that facilitate a move from Business as Usual (BAU) to a future aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN International Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–2030. We provide key recommendations to guide interest groups, and nations globally, towards sustainable utilisation, conservation and preservation of their marine environments in a fair and equitable way, and in collaboration with those who directly rely upon coastal ecosystems.
