1 Introduction Marine fisheries provide important fundamental and demand-derived ecosystem services (Holmlund and Hammer 1999). This is especially true in the European Union, the world's largest single market for fish and fish products (FAO 2022). A primary goal of the EU is to effectively manage its fish stocks and sustainably grow its aquaculture sector to promote self-sufficiency in the domestic supply of fish and seafood (European Commission et al. 2017).

Abstract Coral bleaching, associated with warm water temperatures of the oceans, represents the most significant threat to coral reef ecosystems and coastal communities regarding climate change. Coral bleaching prediction models have emerged as essential tools in conservation and policy-making. However, the effectiveness of these models as an equity-focused science-policy nexus remains uncertain when local human community perspectives are disregarded.
