ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion – a dynamic rapidly evolving discipline the proliferation technical has lacked standardised framework its development.

Ocean-based economic development arising from an increasing interest in the ‘blue economy’ is placing ecosystems and small-scale fisheries under pressure. The dominant policy response for dealing with multiple uses allocation of coastal space through zone planning (CZP). Recent studies have shown that rush to develop blue economy regulate activity can result social injustices exclusion less powerful unrecognized groups (e.g., fishers, women, Indigenous peoples youth). To achieve a primary...

A collective understanding of economic impacts and in particular monetary costs biological invasions is lacking for the Nordic region. This paper synthesizes findings from literature on countries together with expert elicitation. The analysis cost data has been made possible through InvaCost database, a globally open repository that allows use temporal, spatial, taxonomic descriptors facilitating better how are distributed. total reported invasive species across were estimated at $8.35...
Modeling studies illustrate the potential for long-range transport of plastics into Arctic, although degree to which this occurs remains relatively undocumented. We utilised a teaching exercise at UArctic summer school graduate course in Nuuk, Greenland conduct preliminary in-depth analysis beach litter sources Nuup Kangerlua fjord. Students and instructors collected analysed 1800 items weighing 200 kg from one location fjord another its mouth. The results suggest predominance local...
Abstract This paper explores management challenges in relation to human impacts on cold water corals (CWC) Norway. CWC are a slow growing organism about which there is uncertainty regarding distribution and values. We discuss area closures protect this environmental public good against destructive fishing practices. Focus groups were combined with questionnaires inform precautionary measures that can be used known as well areas where thought exist. The research finds respondents believe...
Norway is one of the leading ocean-based food production nations. Its seafood industry comprises wild-capture fisheries and farmed fish production. Both industries play a provisional role but also contribute to economic development country help sustain coastal communities, particularly, in Northern Norway. Coastal fishery has been staple for centuries, while aquaculture complemented this region only approximately 40 years ago. To date, there limited knowledge on how two co-developed While...
Abstract Indicators can be powerful tools to measure progress towards achieving societal goals, and many indicators have been developed for sustainability goals nationally internationally. When are solely through top-down approaches without engaging local knowledge, they often fall short of capturing perceptions concerns relevant decision-making. The aim this project was co-create a Coastal Barometer its component indicators, together with knowledge-holders communities, using the Ocean...
Drift modeling has suggested a sixth gyre and marine plastic accumulation zone in the Barents Sea European Arctic. Evidence of this long-range transport litter was investigated by sampling beaches on Norwegian mainland southern Sea, northern Novaya Zemlya northeast basin, shore Svalbard archipelago northwestern basin. Patterns beach densities do not immediately support as main source Zemlya, proximity to gyre, much less polluted than Norway. Similarly, Greenland coast exposed Atlantic...
