  abstract = {{C}umulative impact assessments can inform ecosystem-based management by mapping human pressures and assessing their intensity on ecosystem components. {H}owever, its use to inform local management is scarce, largely due to the need for fine-grained spatial data representing ecosystem threats that can assess impacts at a local scale. {H}ere, we applied the cumulative impact assessment framework to {M}oorea's coral reef, {F}rench {P}olynesia to inform the ongoing revision of the island-wide marine spatial management plan. {W}e combined high spatial resolution data on 11 local anthropogenic pressures and four ecological components with expert vulnerability assessments. {R}esults revealed that the entire reef is impacted by at least four pressures: coral reef fisheries, agriculture, land use change and urbanization. {T}hese activities together contribute to 87% of the overall cumulative impact. {M}ost importantly, land-based activities contribute to more than half (52%) of the overall impact. {O}ther high-impact activities, such as reef-based tourism, remain very localized and contribute little to the overall human impact. {T}hese findings show that by focusing solely on reef-based activities, the current management plan misses critical sources of impact. {N}ot considering land-based activities in the management may lead to decisions that could fail to significantly lower cumulative human impact on the reef. {T}his study demonstrates how operationalizing the cumulative human impact framework at a local scale can help managers identify key leverage points likely to yield improved ecological outcomes.},
