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
general concepts and methods applied in many of these papers were
developed in large collaborative workshops involving more participants
that listed here as co-authors here, and we are grateful for their
collective input. Funding for Future Seas was provided by the Centre for
Marine Socioecology, IMAS, MENZIES and the College of Arts, Law and
