Oceans play a vital role in socioeconomic and environmental development by supporting activities such as tourism, recreation, food provision while providing important ecosystem services. However, concerns have been raised about the threat that climate change poses to functions of oceans. This study examines impacts, threats, adaptation strategies marine biodiversity. Using bibliometric secondary data analysis, this determines leads rising sea temperatures, heatwaves, acidification, increasing levels. These factors undermine significance ocean also identifies significant risks posed species diversity distribution, primarily through habitat degradation shifts ranges. Scholarly focus on these challenges has grown over time, focusing building resilience mitigate adverse impacts. critically evaluates various measures, including nature-based human-based solutions restoration, policy legislative frameworks, their potential protect ecosystems.

Towards a collaborative stakeholder engagement pathway to increase ocean sustainability related to marine spatial planning in developing coastal states

Environmental Challenges, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15, P. 100954 - 100954

Published: April 1, 2024

With the increased emphasis on charting ocean sustainability narratives, marine spatial planning (MSP) is envisioned as a key tenet. MSPs emphasize systematic and collaborative management of space (resources activities) for benefit all users. Regions that have implemented MSP based stakeholder engagement are progressively realizing better outcomes. Unfortunately, in developing coastal states, progress toward largely pedestrian has attracted less interest. This partly due to archaic coastal/marine resource models dominated by few powerful stakeholders. worsened increasing human-environmental shocks, which creating bleak futures. Our study systematically sourced 12,316 documents from Scopus were analyzed using bibliometrics (i) conduct performance analysis, (ii) scientific mapping analysis (iii) identify game-changing developments can drive sustainability.

Building this, we developed novel Collaborative Stakeholder Engagement Pathway (CoSEP) involving eight interrelated steps help build engagements development notable takeaway CoSEP since research limited or its infancy, knowledge when engage stakeholders mechanisms sustainability, including justice. localize sustainable pillars avenues integrated management.

Towards sustainable marine spatial planning of aquaculture

An efficient and adaptive strategy within the EU Marine Spatial Planning Directive has to manage existing increasing conflicts between human uses habitat conservation in coastal-marine areas. Among different activities developed along coasts, aquaculture occupies a primary role. In this context, aims of research have been: (1) propose conceptual model suitable for marine spatial planning; (2) collect integrate indicators useful characterization study area terms socio-ecological-economic sensitivities pressures; (3) identify map most areas development new fish shellfish farms. The is Apulia Region (Southern Italy) with coastline about 1,000 km, Adriatic Ionian Seas, characterized by several economic high value natural context. evaluation area's suitability farms been carried out through ecological coastal areas, identification socio-economic, ecological, cultural, legal-military constraints estimate "Suitability Index" that, Weighted Linear Combination, integrates environmental variables allows classify as "Highly Suitable", "Suitable" or "Unsuitable".

Assessing the viability of Stakeholders’ Engagement in Marine Spatial Planning and its Implications for a Sustainable Blue Economy

Research Square (Research Square), Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Abstract Marine spatial planning (MSP) is the key to attaining global ocean sustainability targets related blue economy (BE) and inclusive tapping of resources. Although there has been robust progress in promoting MSP, e.g., European Union (EU), most countries have yet develop comprehensive strategies focused on which could affect fragile ecosystems vulnerable livelihoods that are already affected by anthropogenic impacts natural/environmental pressures. Even within EU, MSPs developed only individual or specific maritime zones. One gaps identified literature limited knowledge stakeholder engagement MSP process. Our study tries bridge this gap, we used a mixed research approach—i.e., systematically reviewed 86 articles MSP—and conducted informant interview intending identify what type stakeholders needed process; how, when, where they be involved; how impact sustainable economy? The findings revealed systematic process different at levels temporal scales. In addition, approach involve required based given region's governance region. marine resource user conflicts hamper use resources solved through MSP. for bring fore help design more effective participatory conservation interventions meet targets.
