Insight Into

Abstract Recently, Manderson (2016, Seascapes are not landscapes: an analysis performed using Bernhard Riemann's rules: ICES Journal of Marine Science, 73: 1831-1838) argued that landscape ecology approaches developed in terrestrial habitats have little practical application for the study of marine “seascapes”. Here, we offer a contrasting perspective to this over-generalization. We first focus on historical uses of the term “seascape” to delineate the wide range of habitats that have been designated as such. After providing a brief overview of the study of seascape ecology, we argue that concepts and methodology originating from terrestrial disciplines have, in fact, provided an important cornerstone for investigating the dynamics of nearshore marine ecosystems. We present examples of coastal seascape research that have successfully applied terrestrial landscape theory and revisit points raised by Manderson regarding the application of landscape approaches to the marine environment. Overall, we contend that Manderson’s thesis may apply to some, but not most, use of landscape constructs for investigating aquatic environments. Moreover, we suggest that the study of coastal landscapes will continue to yield valuable insight into the spatiotemporal workings of aquatic ecosystems, and that this particular avenue of ecological investigation will only increase in its relevance as human impacts intensify.

Joint Consideration

Abstract The capacity to observe, retrieve, and model the physiographical and hydrographical features of the sea (i.e. seascapes) has surpassed our ability to integrate this information into the assessment and stewardship of marine ecosystems. However, current marine policy that mandates integrated ecosystem assessments demands temporally intensive and spatially extensive predictions of key populations and ecosystem processes and services, particularly those related to habitat use and distribution. In this sense, seascape ecology represents an operational linkage between basic oceanography and applied ecology and management that embraces spatially explicit models of the dynamic distributions of populations, communities and foodwebs through a joint consideration of observational data and ecological processes. For these reasons, the ICES Journal of Marine Science solicited contributions to the article theme set, “Frontiers in seascape ecology”. In this introduction, we present current concepts and developments in seascape ecology, briefly summarize the 10 articles that appear herein, and discuss the most relevant challenges to this nascent discipline. The contributions included in this theme set illustrate the growing relevance of seascape ecology in the multidisciplinary management of marine ecosystems.
