Heterogeneity of artisanal fishers’ perception of marine protected areas. The case of the Tuscan Archipelago (Mediterranean Sea)
A new Western Mediterranean Sea Ebsas proposal based on quantitative information of key criteria
Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by multiple anthropogenic pressures, leading to biodiversity loss, habitats degradation and resources deterioration. To address these challenges, international and regional policy frameworks have established conservation targets. Ecologically or Biologically Significant Marine Areas (EBSAs), designated by the Convention on Biological Diversity based on multiple criteria, can guide spatial conservation…
Past, present and future of small-pelagic fisheries in the north-western Mediterranean Sea through fishers’ perceptions
Fisheries have transformed significantly in recent decades, and further changes are anticipated to address pressing environmental and social challenges. In this context, there is an urgent need to implement science-based public policies that incorporate local knowledge. It is necessary to better assess fishers’ perceptions, including both historical (e.g., perceived changes of abundance of species) and future (e.g., views on potential future chan…
Fishing activities within Spanish marine protected areas in the Mediterranean Sea
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are used for biodiversity conservation and Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity agreed to use them together with other effective area-based conservation measures to protect 30 % of the ocean by 2030. Scientific evidence shows that most positive outcomes are dependent on full protection, where all extractive activities are banned. Yet, most of what is being protected is under partial protection, with ofte…
Linking sea and land systems through food web models and value chains: A portrait of the Ebro Delta (NW Mediterranean Sea)
In various parts of the world, the fisheries sector is undergoing a rapid transition due to a combination of ecological and economic stressors. In this context, there is increasing interest in using integrated ecological–economic tools to support ecosystem-based fisheries practices within a value chain framework, aiming to reduce ecological impacts while ensuring socioeconomic benefits. Our study integrates a food web model with a value chain mod…
Can a "doughnut" economic framework be useful to monitor the blue economy success? A fisheries example
In this paper, we employ a “doughnut” economic approach to comprehensively assess the state of the purse-seiners fisheries sector in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. The analysis identifies several instances of ecological overshooting and shortages in basic social needs, indicating that the current situation is, in many respects, far from being in a secure, ecologically safe, and socially just space. It demonstrates that the necessary transiti…
Limits to fishing: The case for collective self-limitation illustrated with an example of small-scale fisheries in Catalonia
Is there a limit to the amount of fish that can be taken from the sea? This question echoes the concern of the broader environmental movement in asking: are there ‘limits to growth’? If the answer is ‘yes’, then what must be done to remain within sustainable limits? Fifty years after the publication of the landmark report Limits to Growth , new theories about limits highlight the importance of collective self-limitation, also in the context of fi…
Identifying and prioritizing demersal fisheries restricted areas based on combined ecological and fisheries criteria: The western Mediterranean
The western Mediterranean basin is a high marine biodiversity area under severe pressure by changing climate and intense human activities. Beyond national jurisdictions, international institutions such as the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) work towards canalizing a regional consensus that fishing practices should evolve to better support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In this context, Fisheries Restricted …
Sowing potential transformative changes in the fishing and agrifood systems – Conference report
The expansion of intensive marine aquaculture in Turkey: The next-to-last commodity frontier
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food-producing sectors, and its share in global seafood production is rising significantly compared with capture fisheries. This transforms seafood production practices while allowing capital to expand to new marine commodity frontiers. Building on the conceptualization of aquaculture as a new frontier for capture fisheries, the article aims to uncover how commodity frontiers expand within the intensive m…
Unpacking the objectives and assumptions underpinning European aquaculture
Increasing demand for seafood and the lack of growth of capture fisheries have boosted aquaculture growth worldwide. However, European aquaculture has been stagnating over the past decade, and European public authorities have been developing policies and strategies in efforts to reverse this. Aquaculture discourses in the European Union, based on 34 policy, planning, and strategy documents, are examined and a discourse analysis conducted followin…
