Labrador Inuit resilience and resurgence: embedding Indigenous values in commercial fisheries governance

Increasingly there is recognition of the need for new governance and decision-making models in natural resource management that uphold rights knowledge systems Indigenous peoples. These would support access to sovereignty over resources including fisheries wild harvested foods. However, research northern communities continually focuses on country foods subsistence harvests does not consider important role commercial fisheries. It key investigate how Inuit cultures are linked understand should be directed. Through an iterative interview process, we identify values principles held by Labrador fishers managers regarding fishing industry, outlining interconnected set ground relate today.

By identifying articulating a system relation articulate inform desirable just future This represents conceptual model fisheries, one speaks resilience Inuit, frames industry as having value beyond its material dimensions, include political self-determination, traditional use, cultural identity.

A risk-based approach to cumulative effects assessment for large marine ecosystems to support transboundary marine spatial planning: A case study of the yellow sea

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 342, P. 118165 - 118165

Cumulative effects assessment (CEA) should be conducted at ecologically meaningful scales such as large marine ecosystems to halt further ocean degradation caused by anthropogenic pressures and facilitate ecosystem-based management transboundary spatial planning (MSP). However, few studies exist scale, especially in the West Pacific seas, where countries have different MSP processes yet cooperation is paramount. Thus, a step-wise CEA would informative help bordering set common goal. Building on risk-based framework, we decomposed into risk identification spatially-explicit analysis applied it Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME), aiming understand most influential cause-effect pathways distribution pattern. The results showed that (1) seven human activities including port, mariculture, fishing, industry urban development, shipping, energy, coastal defence, three physical loss of seabed, input hazardous substances, nitrogen, phosphorus enrichment were leading causes environmental problems YSLME; (2) benthic organisms, fishes, algae, tidal flats, seabirds, mammals vulnerable ecosystem components which cumulative acted; (3) areas with relatively high mainly concentrated nearshore zones, Shandong, Liaoning, northern Jiangsu, while bays South Korea also witnessed risk; (4) certain risks could observed area, pervasive sinking pollutants this area due cyclonic circulation fine-grained sediments.

Designing and implementing a multi-scalar approach to Maritime Spatial Planning: The case study of Italy

Marine Policy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 159, P. 105911 - 105911

The Italian coastal and marine space includes areas with remarkable differences in terms of oceanographic characteristics, maritime uses, natural habitats, species distribution, landscape cultural heritage. In Italy, management competencies are shared among national, regional, for some aspects even local authorities. This geographic heterogeneity governance complexity required the adoption a multi-scalar approach to Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP). Such an aims at implementing decision-making spatial planning multiple nested scales. case included definition national guidelines development three (MS) plans, one each area (Adriatic, Ionian Central Mediterranean, Tyrrhenian Western Mediterranean), including subareas units.

Finally, reflects novel identifies actions grant efficacy during next phases process.

Abstract Over the last decade, Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) has become one of key components marine governance. In European Union, member states are working towards development their first plans under Maritime Directive. Internationally, UNESCO and Commission have launched MSP Global initiative to speed up implementation around world. is also framed as being a mechanism for sustainably realising benefits Blue Economy emerging Green Deals. During this same period, however, substantial body critical academic work emerged that questions whether will transform unsustainable governance management practices. This scholarship illustrates current trajectory many initiatives preserve status quo they fail adequately address longstanding issues. Drawing on Flyvbjerg’s vital treatise phronetic social science, chapter explore: where going; who gains loses, how do so; desirable, if not, what can be done make matter? I particularly focus mechanisms winning losing, characterising them tensions in processes unsettled more transformative.

Synopsis Over recent years, recognition of the need to develop climate-smart marine spatial planning (MSP) has gained momentum globally. In this roundtable discussion, we use a question-and-answer format leverage diverse perspectives and voices involved in study sustainable MSP conservation under global environmental social change. We intend dialogue serve as stepping stone toward developing ocean initiatives that are sustainable, equitable, climate-resilient around globe.
