Thousands of oil and gas structures have been installed in the world's oceans over past 70 years to meet population's reliance on hydrocarbons. Over last decade, there has increased concern how handle decommissioning this infrastructure when it reaches end its operational life. Complete or partial removal may not present best option considering potential impacts environment, society, technical feasibility, economy, future asset liability. Re-purposing offshore also be a valid legal under...
Coastal zones are historically rich with unique land/seascapes, tangible artifacts, and intangible cultural heritage. maritime heritage (CMCH) contends various constraining conditions of the sea shore—both geophysical socially constructed—which we delineate to identify risks threats its sustainable management. In response calls for greater incorporation CMCH in name regional development blue growth, propose a conceptual framework as means sustainably manage CMCH. We develop concepts...
The concept of regionalisation, as it has been employed in connection with the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), is both ambiguous and multidimensional sense that can have different meanings to people subsumes several discussions under one heading. Similarly, perceived benefits regionalisation vary. In this article we develop a conceptual framework, which allows structuring different, according various objectives CFP governance, well disentangling sub-themes discussion subsumes: questions...
In the North Sea, many oil and gas fields will reach end of their productivity associated structures be decommissioned. OSPAR decision 98/3 prescribes removal all disused offshore as only acceptable decommissioning option. This policy is legacy 1995 Brent Spar incident, which resulted in current dominant discourse ‘Hands off Oceans,’ ruling out conversion rigs into artificial reefs (Rigs-to-Reefs (RtR)). The shift from a conservation to restoration paradigm could open up RtR debate. this...
This article reviews and examines the most significant climate-change-related impacts adaptation from perspective of stakeholders in Greenlandic fisheries. The study was constructed as a comprehensive, multi-site, bottom-up case around fisheries (south-north/offshore-inshore), where interviews workshops with fishers have communicated their observations fishery changes associated marine environment within last decade. Key include: sea ice cover; increased abundance known species North...
The 2002 Common Fisheries Policy (cfp) reform introduced the Regional Advisory Councils (rac s) to enhance stakeholder involvement and correct one of policy’s primary deficiencies, its lack legitimacy, arising in part from low involvement. While some criticize as not going far enough alleviate problems lagging process content certain ways rac s may be thought representing an interim institutional stage, facilitating better information sharing cultivating relationships. Based on a survey...
This article investigates community perceptions of authenticity in connection to the fishing and tourism sectors relationships therein. Inspired by fieldwork three Danish coastal communities, attends discussions on fishing, tourism, change, which residents referred 'museum' or 'museum town' as shorthand for an undesirable transformation. The answers: (1) what are underlying concerns becoming a town?' (2) how is employed members desirable outcomes transition? analysis probes expression means...
This article analyses three different cases of assisted marine restoration in Europe to understand how governance and legal aspects enable or constrain practice. The aim this is enhance understanding the enabling constraining conditions ecological restoration. To restoration, we use concepts arrangement institutionalization . A consists coalitions public private actors, who—through their ways conceptualizing problem (discourses)—try influence design activities initiatives, managing often...
Abstract Coastal and marine cultural heritage (CMCH) is at risk due to its location often indefinable value. As these risks are likely intensify in the future, there an urgent need build CMCH resilience. We argue that current management paradigm narrowly focuses on present preservation. This tends exclude debates about contested nature of resilience how it may be achieved beyond a strict preservationist approach. There need, therefore, progress broader more dynamic framing recognises shift...
Coastal communities have long been at the periphery of human geography. Nonetheless, coasts present a rich context to understand and deconstruct processes displacement—enclosure, ocean grabbing, gentrification, financialization—and salience adjacency claims as resistance. While scholars theorized that coast’s spatial specificity may enable raise claims, scholarship has not reconciled degree which coastal should benefit from marine resources spaces. This displacement-adjacency framework...
Abstract This article considers how remoteness, rurality, and local initiatives combine to enable community responses the threat of fisheries enclosure. Centred on two case studies from a wider portfolio six cases in Northern Jutland, Denmark New England, USA, presents narrative these places based semi‐structured interviews participant observation. Thorupstrand, Cutler, Maine, USA exemplify communities fighting retain access under enclosure recognition this threat. Lacking alternatives due...
Regionalisation has in recent years been intensely discussed as a possible path for the future Common Fisheries Policy of European Union. However, motivations moving this direction are varied perceptions what regionalisation mode governance would entail practice. To draw implications policy, we explore these and seek, by means interviews survey participants Regional Advisory Councils with hands-on experience regional cooperation fisheries management, to flesh out question whether is seen...
This article reviews legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives during four consecutive Congresses concerning issues faced by working waterfronts. The objective this is to examine two waterfronts bills, together with relevant testimony before subcommittee hearings, assess whether proposed redundant Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) federal-level appropriate for addressing identified issues. Contained three sections provides: (1) an assessment challenges facing...
Since the second half of 20th century, Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) has been guiding principle fisheries management, focused on reaching sustainability through bioeconomic modelling and harvest regulations. MSY allowed managers to set Total Allowable Catch levels for target species with further implications various forms catch share programs. In this article, we employ a feminist ethic care approach literature local environmental stewardship analyze case Danish organization trying...
