  • Climate-smart fisheries

    Open AccessNwamaka Okeke‐ogbuafor, Tim Gray et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2024

    In the global north, climate-smart fisheries (CSF) policies prioritise steps to combat CO2 emissions from SSF, in a response to the fact that globally, CO2 emissions from small-scale fisheries (SSFs) increased by over 5.8 times between 1950 and 2016. However, in the global south, CSF policies on SSF prioritise food and income security over CO2 emission reduction. In this paper, we examine this apparently contrasting interpretation of CSF as a con…

  • An evaluation of Oman’s National Fisheries Development Strategy (NFDS) 2013–2020

    Open AccessKhalid Al-Subhi, Tim Gray et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2023

    This paper evaluates Oman’s National Fisheries Development Strategy 2013–2020 (NFDS) which was adopted in 2012 to guide the future development of the country’s fisheries sector. The NFDS is an ambiguous document which gives rise to two different interpretations. First, it can be interpreted as a radical model of fisheries development which is driven by the principle of wealth-maximisation and entails a massive expansion and modernization of the f…

  • Is inland aquaculture the panacea for Sierra Leone’s decline in marine fish stocks

  • Visualizing the social in aquaculture

    Open AccessGesche Krause, Suzannah‐Lynn Billing et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2020

    Until very recently, governments of many countries, as well as their supporting organizations, have primarily addressed the biological, technical and economic aspects of aquaculture. In contrast, social and cultural aspects of aquaculture production have taken a backseat. Drawing on the observation that aquaculture development in Western Societies has largely failed to address these social effects across different scales and contexts, this paper …

  • The illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in Kuwait

    Open AccessMohammad E A Alqattan, Tim S Gray et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2020

    Kuwait is a country with an emerging economy that could benefit hugely from investment in its marine fisheries production. However, the country is constrained by several problems which affect the health of its coastal fish stocks. Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is the most serious of these problems because it reduces fish stock levels. In this study, we analyze IUU fishing in Kuwaiti waters, and assess its impact on fish stock…

  • Perceptions of the existence and causes of structural violence in Ogoni communities, Nigeria

    Nwamaka Okeke‐ogbuafor, Nwamaka Okeke-Ogbuafor et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contemporary African…2018References: 31

    This article explores the perceptions of Ogoni people about the existence and causes of structural violence in their communities. It relies heavily on qualitative data collected from five oil-rich and three oil-poor Ogoni communities, between February and May 2014, during which 200 open-ended survey questionnaires were administered and 189 were returned. Three focus group discussions and 69 key informant interviews were also conducted. The findin…

  • The Forgotten Pirates

    Mohammad E A Alqattan, Tim Gray et al.ARTICLEStudies in Conflict and Terrorism2017

    If piracy attacks are unreported, a misleading impression is given of piracy situations in regions where there could be serious consequences for ships traveling in waterways on the assumption that they are piracy-free waters. However, sometimes not reporting piracy attacks could help to contain piracy before it expands, because reporting can lead to the media over-focusing on piratical incidents, and armed guards being deployed on ships, which ca…

  • A place-based approach to payments for ecosystem services

    Open AccessMyer S Reed, Karen E Allen et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2017Cited by: 10References: 11

    We introduce and define a place-based approach to Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES). • The approach incorporates multi-level governance, bundling and shared values for ecosystem services. • The approach is evaluated using case study research to develop the Peatland Code. • Place-based PES schemes may mitigate negative trade-offs between ecosystem services. • They may more effectively include cultural ecosystem services and empower stakeholders…

  • Seychelles, a vulnerable or resilient Sids? A local perspective

    Open AccessDean Philpot, Tim Gray et al.ARTICLEIsland Studies Journal2015Cited by: 6References: 10

    This article analyses perceptions of residents of the Seychelles in the western Indian Ocean in relation to a long-running debate over small island developing states (SIDS) as to whether they are vulnerable or resilient. The results of data obtained from 25 key informant interviews and 70 household surveys conducted in 2013 showed that respondents perceived their country to be both vulnerable and resilient. Moreover, the data revealed that the re…

  • Territoriality as a Driver of Fishers' Spatial Behavior in the Northumberland Lobster Fishery

    Rachel A Turner, Tim Gray et al.ARTICLESociety & Natural Resources2012Cited by: 1References: 7

    Knowledge of informal rules governing fishers' behavior is important to help formulate policies suited to local conditions and supported by resource users. Fishers' behavior may be influenced by informal property rights or territoriality, yet drivers of such behavior in UK fisheries have seldom been explored. This study presents findings from interviews with lobster fishers (n = 44) at six ports in Northumberland, UK. The study aimed to investiga…

  • Delivering Integrated Coastal-zone Management through Land-use Planning

    Philip Allmendinger, Adam Barker et al.ARTICLEPlanning Practice and Research2002

    The first part of this paper outlines the planning policy framework for ICZM from the European to the national level. This not only contextualises the local approach to ICZM but also provides a benchmark against which to assess the efficacy of ICZM in the two areas of coast chosen for this study. The second part then examines how the development plans in the three local authorities tackle ICZM and the extent to which they follow the European and …
