There is low evidence and high agreement that empowering local stakeholders  improves public awareness and simplifies regulations and increases the flexibility and sustainability of marine resources managed in fisheries under future scenarios . Ecosystem- based fisheries management  has emerged as a suitable tool to minimise the risk to climate change, avoid ecosystem degradation and related services . Further, when EBFM includes climate complexity and the relationships among species within the ecological systems it contributes to maintain long-term socioeconomic benefits . There is high confidence that EbA is more successful and feasible than hard coastal defences for the protection, management and restoration of ocean and coastal ecosystems and their resources .
