Significance Population and affluence have long been seen as major drivers of environmental stress. A substantial empirical literature now substantiates their role in anthropogenic change. Using data on greenhouse gas emission from US states, we show that the effects population can be substantially moderated by political factors particular support for environmentalism. Our results indicate potential politics to ameliorate scale economic activity environment our methods provide a vehicle...
In recent decades, scientists and practitioners have increasingly focused on identifying codifying the best ways to manage activities in marine systems, leading development implementation of concepts such as social-ecological systems approach, ecosystem-based management, integrated spatial planning, participatory co-management, precautionary approach. To date, these appear separate entities: they parallel literature streams; been applied most often individually attempts improve governance...
Seaweed farming is widely expected to transform the way we approach sustainable developments, particularly in context of ‘Blue Economy’. However, many claims social and ecological benefits from seaweed have limited or contextually weak empirical grounding. Here systematically review relevant publications across four languages form a comprehensive picture observed—rather than theorised—social environmental impacts globally. We show that, while some such as improved water quality coastal...
Climate change, in combination with population growth, is placing increasing pressure on the world’s oceans and their resources. This threatening sustainability societal wellbeing. Responding to these complex synergistic challenges requires holistic management arrangements. To this end, ecosystem-based (EBM) promises much by recognising need manage ecosystem its entirety, including human dimensions. However, operationalisation of EBM marine environment has been slow. One reason may be a lack...

The concentration of human population along coastlines has far-reaching effects on ocean and societal health. oceans provide benefits to humans such as food, coastal protection improved mental well-being, but can also impact negatively via natural disasters. At the same time, influence health, for example, development or through environmental stewardship. Given strong feedbacks between health there is a need promote desirable interactions, while minimising undesirable interactions. To this...
The importance of understanding the complexities societal relationships with our global ocean, and how these influence sustainable management effective, equitable governance, is crucial to addressing ocean challenges. Using established horizon scanning method, this paper explores current trends in marine social sciences through a survey science research practitioner community (n = 106). We find that broad, covering themes relating governance decision-making, stakeholder participation...
A common goal among fisheries science professionals, stakeholders, and rights holders is to ensure the persistence resilience of vibrant fish populations sustainable, equitable in diverse aquatic ecosystems, from small headwater streams offshore pelagic waters. Achieving this requires a complex intersection management, recognition interconnections people, place, that govern these tightly coupled socioecological sociotechnical systems. The World Fisheries Congress (WFC) convenes every four...

Ocean Literacy (OL) is essential for changing human behaviours and practices to improve ocean sustainability. Recently, the concept has become a focal topic in coastal research, including as key pillar of United Nations Decade Science Sustainable Development. As practice OL continues evolve, it timely synthesise existing evidence base ensure that future policy informed by robust up-to-date evidence. To this end, we undertook Systematic Map addressing following research questions: (i) where...
As the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030) approaches halfway, inclusive input on progress and innovative to achieving ocean sustainability is timely necessary. Input from leaders tomorrow—today's Early Career Professionals (ECOPs)—brings important generational perspectives delivering marine science that can inform contribute future sustainability. ECOP may also offer novel insights informing solutions ocean-related challenges. Here, we articulate...
Citizen and community science programs have been instrumental in generating large datasets natural sciences, while simultaneously engaging participants the environment. Community led citizen projects seen broad application to plastic pollution monitoring cleanup efforts due abundance of all environments around globe. Here we highlight work a niche group scientists, call, “highly engaged marine users.” This scientists demonstrate an elevated level citizenship understanding ocean. Highly users...
First introduced in the early 2000s, concept of ocean literacy has undergone a significant evolution recent years. Increasingly positioned as mechanism for change across governance, this is evidenced particularly through inclusion within United Nations Ocean Decade's goals and Challenge 10 outcomes. Since its inception building on definitions formal education roots, there been increasing recognition range additional dimensions which contribute to an individual or collective sense ‘ocean...
