Fig. 6: Conceptual framework showing how to mitigate the cask effect of policy-protocol-practice interactions concerning coastal restorations.
From: Overlooked discrepancies in protocols undermine coastal restoration practices in China
The left illustration represents the mismatch scenario in which the protocols’ designing, implementation, and management stages are “short board”. The right side shows the optimized expected scenario toward better restoration outcomes. The cask effect can be alleviated by enhancing policy-protocol-practice feedback and effectiveness evaluation (e.g., TRLs) across all restoration stages.
