Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: Ecological and socio-economic-political criteria are intertwined in conservation planning, making it difficult to directly compare the results of prioritization using systematic ecological planning versus community-selection. We compared and integrated systematic science-based and community-based prioritization of areas for marine protection. We used the decision support tool Marxan with abiotic and biotic data to develop the science-based prioritization. We developed partnerships with two indigenous groups in British Columbia, Canada, and used semi-structured interviews and community meetings to assess community priorities for marine conservation. These two resulting maps showed many similarities in the inshore areas, and participants at feedback sessions rated the science-based maps as fairly good at highlighting areas important for conservation. Participants scored the integration scenarios either equivalent to or better than the science-based maps. The map of an example of a protected area network resulting from the integration scenario was preferred by participants over the community-selected areas only. Our findings lend credibility to both science-based and community-based approaches for prioritizing marine areas because they verified each other. Integrating a science-based approach and community-preferences appears to be the favored solution, as it was preferred by participants and achieved all the conservation objectives.
