Illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing is a major contributor to global overfishing, threatening food security, maritime livelihoods, fisheries sustainability. An emerging narrative in the literature posits that IUU associated with additional organised criminal activities, such as drug trafficking, human slavery, arms smuggling. We explored this through systematic review identify empirical evidence of association between illegal activities crimes. Here we show there minimal...
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...
Plastic pollution is rapidly increasing, with land-based sources being the major contributors. Understanding factors driving waste movement from land to sea crucial for reducing leakage environment and its subsequent impact. In 2023 we conducted a stratified survey of mismanaged in across six Australian metropolitan regions, covering inland, riverine, coastal habitats, determine national baseline debris environment. We completed 1907 transects, found average density was 0.15 items m-2....
Abstract Fisheries governance systems designed to regulate fishing are often described as being highly diverse across countries. However, there is little systematic work that directly examines and describes the (dis)similarities such systems, how socio‐political economic contexts drive variation at a global scale. In this paper, we use 68 indicators from novel dataset examine fisheries in place constrain overfishing national waters 142 We found countries cluster just two distinct groups...
Improving knowledge exchange among scientists and decision-makers is a critical component of navigating ocean sustainability challenges. Boundary organisations are one approach to facilitating influencing marine policy management. However, effectively do so, boundary must navigate various challenges that can undermine the extent which they considered as trusted by partners. At present, there lack specific guidance on how these build trust. We seek address this gap empirically via in-depth...
Abstract Diverse and inclusive marine research is paramount to addressing ocean sustainability challenges in the 21st century, as envisioned by UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Despite increasing efforts diversify science, women continue face barriers at various stages their career, which inhibits progression leadership within academic institutions. In this perspective, we draw on collective experiences thirty-four global leaders, bolstered a narrative review, identify...
Abstract Non-compliance is a tenacious problem in recreational fisheries management, posing risk to marine conservation and socio-ecological systems by, for example, undermining management efforts creating conflict between resource user groups. In deterrence-based approaches have traditionally been used tackle non-compliance. However, enforcement often limited an alternative approach needed improve compliance. this paper, we explore the lessons from behavioural economics apply nudge theory...
Ocean governance is complex and influenced by multiple drivers actors with different worldviews goals. While encompasses many elements, in this paper we focus on the processes that operate within between states, civil society local communities, market, including industry. Specifically, paper, address question of how to move towards more sustainable ocean aligning development goals UN Decade. We three major risks oceans arise from governance-related issues: 1) impacts overexploitation marine...
Non-compliance with regulations is a complex problem in recreational fisheries management, having the potential to evoke uncertainty for conservation and socio-ecological outcomes undermine management efforts. While we know that people make trade-offs between following or breaking rules, it of interest determine how respond different incentives curtail non-compliance. The overall aim this study examine what individual psycho-social characteristics are associated responses instrumental...
A key component of successful coastal management efforts is an effective communication and engagement strategy focused on raising awareness a region to different stakeholders encourage more pro-environmental behaviours. Accordingly, in recent times there has been proliferation research improving with users the environment. Despite this effort, paucity evidence available guide better visitors (i.e. tourists). Addressing knowledge gap critical given adverse impacts current global tourism...
