Optimising Land-Sea Management for Inshore Coral Reefs - Fig 3
<p>Performance of management actions: (A) likelihood of a change in state when only a single action is implemented); (B) the proportion of outcomes that resulted in positive effects on coral reef condition; (C) the proportion of outcomes that resulted in above median effects on coral reef condition; and (D) the proportion of outcomes that resulted in the highest 5% of positive effects on coral reef condition. See <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0164934#pone.0164934.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a> for full details of each management option.</p
Managers often aim for synergistic effects between multiple interventions to increase 'bang for their buck' (i.e. outcome per dollar spent).
<p>Figure represents all combinations of management actions that resulted in both positive outcomes for coral reef condition, and that resulted in synergistic additions to coral reef condition (i.e. above and beyond the sum of the values of each action). Outcomes are ordered from left to right from lowest to highest modelled state of good reef condition for each number of interventions implemented. Here, the coloured ‘base' effects (green = two interventions, light blue = three interventions, dark blue = four interventions, grey = five interventions) indicates the sum of the individual interventions in isolation, and 'Synergistic Effect' indicates the additional effect of these interventions when combined.</p
Summary of levels and justifications for management node inputs.
<p>Here, Intervention 1 relates to management levels that are likely to be politically and socially agreeable, and Intervention 2 relates to the full levels of management scope and intensity of management interventions that, based on current scientific evidence, are likely to have the greatest benefits. Detailed information on the selection of these levels and the data underlying the chosen percentiles is provided <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0164934#pone.0164934.s001" target="_blank">S1 Appendix</a>.</p
