Shellfisheries’ Adaptation to Ocean Acidification in or and Ca: Linking strategies to strategic policy action
Community-centered approaches to aquaculture in small-scale fisheries
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing seafood production system globally, offering economic and social opportunities for small-scale fishing communities. Yet, it is often introduced through top-down, technocratic approaches that ignore the social-ecological realities of these communities. Drawing on four case studies from Mexico and Honduras, this study uses a multistage, participatory mixed-methods approach to examine the integration of aquaculture…
Power and participation: A systematic review of marine protected area engagement through participatory science Methods
Oceans and Society: An Introduction to Marine Studies
Enabling conditions for effective marine spatial planning
As marine spatial planning (MSP) continues to gain global prominence as an approach to ocean governance, planners and other stakeholders are eager to evaluate its social and ecological outcomes and to better understand whether plans are achieving their intended results in an equitable and cost-efficient manner. While a plan’s outcomes for marine environments and coastal communities may be of particular interest, these results cannot be separated …
Breaking down barriers: The identification of actions to promote gender equality in interdisciplinary marine research institutions
Blueing business as usual in the ocean: Blue economies, oil, and climate justice
Oceans are increasingly looked toward for their contribution to addressing climate change. These so-called ocean-based climate “solutions” often fall under the umbrella of the “blue economy,” a term used to refer to new ways of organizing ocean economies to provide equitable economic and environmental benefits. Yet, thus far the literature exploring blue economies and blue economy governance has largely overlooked or downplayed its equity and jus…
The MPA Guide: A framework to achieve global goals for the ocean
Consistency in conservation Marine protected areas (MPAs) are now well established globally as tools for conservation, for enhancing marine biodiversity, and for promoting sustainable fisheries. That said, which regions are labeled as MPAs varies substantially, from those that full protect marine species and prohibit human extraction to those that permit everything from intensive fishing to mining. This inconsistency can in some cases inhibit bot…
Development and dependency in the periphery: From bananas to tourism in Bocas del Toro, Panama
Towards a political ecology of lifestyle migration: Local perspectives on socio‐ecological change in Bocas del Toro, Panama
International flows of people from developed to developing countries represent a departure from the typical migratory path away from the Global South. These counter‐movements are usually characterised by a search for destinations with warm climates, cheaper costs of living, and a perceived high quality of life. One such destination is the Bocas del Toro archipelago in Northwestern Panama. Lifestyle migration to Panama is, in part, the result of p…
Navigating Shifting Regimes of Ocean Governance: From UNCLOS to Sustainable Development Goal 14
Recent decades have seen a rapid increase in the diversity of ocean uses and threats, leading to the Anthropocene ocean: a place fraught with challenges for governance such as resource collapse, pollution, and changing sea levels and ocean chemistry. Here we review shifts in ocean governance regimes from the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the first legal regime for the global ocean, to Sustainable Development Goal 14 and beyond.…
Deforestation, Territorial Conflicts, and Pluralism in the Forests of Eastern Panama: A Place for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation
Deforestation is a primary contributor to global climate change. When the forest is felled and the vegetation is burnt or decomposes, carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is released into the atmosphere. An approach designed to stem climate change is Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), a global financial mechanism that requires intricate governance requirements to be met—a significant challenge in the developing are…
