The blue economy was originally conceptualised as having a strong focus on social equity; however, in practice, these equity considerations have been overshadowed by neo-liberal capitalist agendas, which become dominant discourse. A continued expansion of ocean industry developments and activities has resulted an inequitable share the burdens benefits utilising spaces exacerbated wealth disparities power asymmetries. Therefore, finding mechanisms to reinstate fundamental governance practice...
China is a key player in global production, consumption, and trade of seafood. Given this dominance, Chinese choices regarding what seafood to eat, how where source it, are increasingly important—for China, for the rest world. This perspective explores issue using transdisciplinary approach discusses plausible trajectories implications assumptions future modeling efforts environmental sustainability supply. We outline China's 2030 projected domestic production consumption through an...
Abstract Concern over illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing has led to a number of policy, trade surveillance measures. While much attention been given the impact IUU regulation on industrial fleets, recognition distinct impacts small‐scale fisheries is conspicuously lacking from policy research debate. In this paper, we outline three ways in which application discourse undermines fisheries. First, mainstream construction “illegal,” “unreported” “unregulated” fishing, also...
Abstract Calls to address social equity in ocean governance are expanding. Yet ‘equity’ is seldom clearly defined. Here we present a framework support contextually-informed assessment of governance. Guiding questions include: (1) Where and (2) Why being examined? (3) Equity for or amongst Whom ? (4) What distributed? (5) When considered? And (6) How do structures impact equity? The supports consistent operationalization equity, challenges oversimplification, allows evaluation progress. It...
Private standards, including ecolabels, have been posed as a governance solution for the global fisheries crisis. The conventional logic is that ecolabels meet consumer demand certified “sustainable” seafood, with “good” players rewarded price premiums or market share and “bad” punished by reduced sales. Empirically, however, in markets where ecolabeling has taken hold, retailers brands—rather than consumers—are demanding sustainable sourcing, to build protect their reputation. aim of this...
The blue economy is a globally emerging concept for ocean governance that seeks to tap the economic potential of oceans in environmentally sustainable ways. Yet, understanding and implementation particular visions specific regions diverge according national other contexts. Drawing on discourse analysis Chinese language documents, this article assesses how has been conceptualised state policy discourse. Part ideology practice modernisation defined terms rejuvenation under strong state, China...
Abstract Attention to human dimensions of capture fisheries involves understanding how harms and benefits are experienced distributed among different groups or people. Yet, not all well understood adequately addressed. There is a general (mis)conception that gender‐based violence (GBV) relevance for management topic within the remit practitioners. Through global review fisheries, we illustrate five types GBV—physical, sexual, psychological, economic cultural—are pervasive can be reinforced...
The coastal and marine environment is often managed according to the principles of sustainable development, which include environmental, economic, social dimensions. While each are equally important, sustainability receives a lower priority in both policy research. Methodologies for assessing less developed than environmental economic sustainability, there lack data on aspects development (such as equity), constitutes barrier understanding considerations integrating them into natural...
High demand and prices in global markets for luxury seafood fished by coastal communities low-income contexts causes overfishing. There are few alternatives fishers to earn money, most institutions controlling effort weak, beyond the control of fishing states. The mismatch between desires development governance measures enable that is shared across many high-value contexts. Using sea cucumber fishery Papua New Guinea as an example, this paper illustrates how interactive framework provides a...
Managing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is about managing human behaviours, but decision-making processes have traditionally focussed on ecological aspects, treating social aspects as secondary. It now becoming more evident that an equal focus the and required. Without collection of information aspect such impacts sharing this well with communities, MPAs are at higher risk opposition acceptability problems. This paper explores development a wellbeing framework to understand including local...
Growing trade networks through globalisation have expanded governance of local environments to encompass multiple scales. The governing role market actors, such as traders and consumers in importing countries, has been recognized embraced for sustainable seafood sourcing trade. perceptions that affect the conduct these actors are a potential influence on distal environments. In this paper we investigate sea cucumber China. Sea cucumbers an important global fishery commodity predominantly...

Abstract Small‐scale fisheries are subject to various governing institutions operating at different levels with objectives. At the same time, small‐scale increasingly form part of domestic and international market chains, consequent effects for marine environments livelihoods fishery‐dependent. Yet there remains a need better understand how chains interact range governance that influence them. In this paper, we examine multiple systems function along in order identify opportunities improved...
