 There are many ways to improve the management of marine biodiveristy, and the best solutions are often local. These bottom-up approaches are embedded in local knowledge andhave a unique social and cultural context. Sharing information about local success stories may provide new ideas for management worldwide. (p. 65) Source: Vierros, Marjo, Biliana Cicin-Sain, Salvatore Arico and Christophe Lefebrre.

 Conservation measures do not always respect local cultural norms and social structures, and may not bring direct benefits to communities. In some parts of the world, conservation efforts have often ignored local and traditional knowledge and land/sea tenure systems infavour of a top-down scientific model, resulting in social and cultural losses to coastal communities.

  ... reefs have been shown to generate biodiversity and many species to other marine habitats ... Coral reefs are thus not just ecological attractors of many species, but evolutionary rates are greater than anywhere else in the oceans. Destroying reefs thus means that recovery from the current biodiversity crisis will be delayed in the entire ocean. (p. 47) Source: Kiessling, Wolfgang and George A. Heiss. "Coral Reefs."
