We believe that the insights offered through this review are broadly relevant to the readers of Cambridge Prism: Coastal Futures because of the significance to assist in shifting paradigms towards meaningful environmental perspectives, strategies, policies and overall good governance. The last half of the paper comes across as a proposal for funding, versus a research paper. It seems like a potentially good research project, but as a reader I’m left wondering why it is included here. I could see finishing this off as a perspective piece, or even as a literature review, but as it is now it seems to be trying to do too many things at once and doesn’t make for a coherent overall read.

It should also be refreshing and light, like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. And of course, it should be easy to make, so anyone can enjoy it at home.

Describe a calm sea using very descriptive adjectives and words that evoke a lot of feeling as you write them.

Line 25 – give global average rate of Sea level rise (Ipcc 2019) rather than saying levels have increased significantly Is this meant to be a perspective piece? There are a lot of normative statements in here that may not be reflective of social preferences. Use the ocean writing prompts to help get your creative juices flowing. I know they’ll help you describe the ocean in finer, more meaningful detail. 10 Creative Ocean Writing Prompts Lines 12 - 33: What is this? This seems like a methods paragraph, but is the first thing in the paper. Is it an abstract? The above ocean adjectives are but a drop in the ocean (pun intended), yet they hope to capture a glimpse of its multifaceted charm.Oceans are also a magnificent part of nature. They’re home to unique wildlife. Ocean animals, like sharks, dolphins, crabs, whales, and seahorses capture kids’ imaginations every time. Humans also use the ocean for traveling, leisurely activities, and even some unpleasant things, such as waste disposal. Line 359 – its unclear how weaving is incorporated in the IMIsEE project. A brief paragraph detailing what the project actually entails is required so there is some context. Ocean Protection activity - why not try freezing some toy sea animals in water surrounded by plastic? This is a great way to show children the dangers of littering and pollution on our oceans. Oceans also have a very distinct smell. Consider incorporating that element into your writing by focusing on characters smelling the ocean’s saltiness in the air. Ocean Writing Even If You’ve Never Seen One

Transgressive practices: Merging Indigenous knowledge, traditional creative expressions and scientific knowledge This could use a mention of value considerations - i.e. do costs exceed (all-inclusive) benefits? It would be hard to justify these approaches without consideration for their socio-economic effectiveness. Lines 122 - 124: Economics has subfields dedicated to sustainability issues (environmental and ecological economics) and also has long considered distributional issues. Perhaps what you mean is that decision makers should look beyond purely business interests to include non-market environmental goods and services and distributional consequences? Also, I’d rely on SDG 10 for the social equity citation, as (Okafor-Yarwood et al., 2020) cites UNEP for their rationale for social equity in the blue economy, and UNEPs role is to help meet the SDGs. SDG 10 is more direct. Line 63: Why is blue economy in quotes here, but not on line 61, and what are the quotes signifying? Some students may never have seen the ocean before, so describing oceans can be challenging, particularly for younger writers.The ocean has always been a source of wonder and inspiration. It has been described in countless ways by poets, travelers, scientists, and dreamers alike. Its magnificence, mystery, and its power are often challenging to encapsulate in mere words. Yet, the human language, rich and diverse, offers a plethora of adjectives that attempt to capture its essence. Lines 189 - 193: Wouldn’t beach renourishment and coastal salt marsh restoration fall into NBS for shorelines? In the US alone there has been over 100 thousand hectares of salt marsh restored (https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2019.00511). Line 353-356 – this is a bold statement without much evidence or explanation. This requires much more explanation and consideration – to help the reader understand how creating new substrate alternatives could reduce inequalities etc. Line 352a - community participatory action Benefit-sharing – this title could be more explanatory of the section. Why is benefit capitalised?
