Keystone species have a disproportionate influence on the structure and function of ecosystems. Here we analyze whether keystone-like pattern can be observed in relationship between transnational corporations marine ecosystems globally. We show how thirteen control 11-16% global catch (9-13 million tons) 19-40% largest most valuable stocks, including that play important roles their respective ecosystem. They dominate all segments seafood production, operate through an extensive network...
The establishment of interdisciplinary Master's and PhD programs in sustainability science is opening up an exciting arena filled with opportunities for early-career scholars to address pressing challenges. However, embarking upon endeavor as scholar poses a unique set challenges: develop individual scientific identity strong specific methodological skill-set, while at the same time gaining ability understand communicate between different epistemologies. Here, we explore challenges that...
Scenarios can help individuals, communities, corporations and nations to develop a capacity for dealing with the unknown unpredictable, or unlikely but possible. A range of scientific methods developing scenarios is available, we argue that they have limited investigate complex social-ecological futures because: 1) non-linear change rarely incorporated and: 2) involve co-evolutionary dynamics integrated systems. This manuscript intends address these two concerns by applying method science...
Scenario development has been recognized as a potential method to explore future change and stimulate reflective process that can contribute more informed decision-making. The assessment under IPBES (the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity Ecosystem Services) however shown the current predominantly biophysical economic models scenario processes for exploring of biodiversity, ecosystem services their contributions human wellbeing are insufficient capture complexity...
Recent studies suggest that the pervasive impacts on global fishery resources caused by stressors such as overfishing and climate change could dramatically increase likelihood of conflict. However, existing projections do not consider wider economic, social, or political trends when assessing of, influences on, future conflict trajectories. In this paper, we build four scenarios considering multiple drivers derived from an expert workshop, a longitudinal database international conflict,...
The biosphere crisis requires changes to existing business practices. We ask how corporations can become sustainability leaders, when constrained by multiple barriers collaboration for stewardship. describe scientists motivated, inspired and engaged with ten of the world's largest seafood companies, in a collaborative process aimed enable science-based systemic transformations (2015-2021). CEOs faced industry crises 2015 that incentivized novel approaches. New scientific insights, an...
We find ourselves at a critical crossroads for the future governance of high seas, but perceived remoteness global ocean creates psychological barrier people to engage with it. Given challenges overexploitation, inequitable access and other sustainability equity concerns, current mechanisms are not fit-for-purpose. This decade offers opportunities direct impact on governance, however, triggering transformation how we use protect half our planet requires concerted effort that is guided by...
Human activities have substantial impacts on marine ecosystems, including rapid regime shifts with large consequences for human well-being. We highlight the use of model-based scenarios as a scientific tool adaptive stewardship in face such consequences. The natural sciences long history developing but rarely an in-depth understanding factors influencing actions. Social scientists traditionally investigated behavior, scholars often argue that behavior is too complex to be represented by...
Abstract The high seas are experiencing a stark increase in industrial activities, with resources being exploited unsustainably and shared unequally. This suggests the need for transformation, shift deeper structures of system such as underlying paradigms mind-sets. We created future visions by combining computational text analysis structured, yet creative futuring approach. process resulted four science fiction stories, which aim to capture complexity system, embrace inherent uncertainty...
Non-state actors (NSAs) have proliferated in number and are increasingly acknowledged to matter for global governance of natural resources. This has generated considerable scholarly interest, but there is surprisingly little systematic knowledge about patterns trends NSA participation fisheries institutions. article addresses this gap by studying populations, considering more than 500 attending commission meetings, the five tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (tuna RFMOs)...
In this paper we explore the potential of academic podcasting to effect positive change within academia and between society. Building on concept “epistemic living spaces,” consider how can evaluate what is legitimate knowledge methods for production, who has access privileges power, nature our connections with other partners, experience constraints opportunities space time. We conclude by offering a guide others are looking develop their own projects discuss be formalized as mainstream...
