Gascard, J-C., A-S Crépin, M. Karcher, O.R. Young. 2017. Facets of Arctic change. Ambio 46(3): 339-340.
This special issue highlights results from the project Arctic Climate Change Economy and Society (ACCESS, 2011–2015) supported within the Ocean of Tomorrow call of the European Union’s 7th framework programme. Focusing on the marine Arctic, ACCESS investigated climate impacts on marine transportation, seafood production, and the extraction of hydrocarbons up to 2050. The project dedicated particular attention to environmental ...
Blasiak, R., C. Durussel, J. Pittman, C-A. Senit, M. Petersson, N. Yagi. 2017. The role of NGOs in negotiating the use of biodiversity in marine areas beyond national jurisdiction. Marine Policy 81: 1-8
In 2004, the UN General Assembly resolved to establish a working group to consider issues pertaining to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). The group met nine times between 2006 and 2015 before concluding its mandate by recommending the development of an international legally binding instrument on BBNJ under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Se...
Alexander, S.M., D. Armitage, P.J. Carrington, Ö. Bodin. 2017. Examining horizontal and vertical social ties to achieve social-ecological fit in an emerging marine reserve network. Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems 27(6): 1209-1223.
Most MPA networks are designed only with ecological processes in mind to increase their conservation utility. However, since MPA networks often involve large geographic areas, they also affect and involve multiple actors, institutions, and policy sectors. A key challenge when establishing an effective MPA network is to align the ‘social system’ with the biophysical MPA network (the ‘ecological system’). This challenge is ofte...
Patrik J. G. Henriksson, P., J.G., Rico, A., Troell, M. Klinger, D.H et al. 2017. Unpacking factors influencing antimicrobial use in global aquaculture and their implication for management: a review from a systems perspective. Sustain Sci., DOI 10.1007/s11625-017-0511-8
Global seafood provides almost 20% of all animal protein in diets, and aquaculture is, despite weakening trends, the fastest growing food sector worldwide. Recent increases in production have largely been achieved through intensification of existing farming systems, resulting in higher risks of disease outbreaks. This has led to increased use of antimicrobials (AMs) and consequent antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in many farming...
Blasiak, R., Wabnitz, C.C.C. 2017. Aligning fisheries aid with international development targets and goals. Marine Policy 88 (2018) 86–92 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpol.2017.11.018
Official development assistance (ODA) is intended to spur progress and increase security among recipient countries. Billions in ODA have been allocated to fisheries to support nutrition and livelihoods worldwide. Yet, from 2010 to 2015, fisheries allocations decreased by>30%, while grants for non-fisheries sectors increased by>13%. Globally, grants for climate change adaptation and mitigation fell for fisheries, while rapid...
Boonstra, W.J., Valman, M., Björkvik, E. 2017. A sea of many colours – How relevant is Blue Growth for capture fisheries in the Global North, and vice versa? Marine Policy Volume 87, January 2018, Pages 340-349. DOI: 10.1016/j.marpol.2017.09.007
Blue Growth is a relatively new term that is meant to realize economic growth based on the exploitation of marine resources, while at the same time preventing their degradation, overuse, and pollution. This article discusses the relevance and usefulness of this new concept for the development of capture fisheries, a sector where growth largely seems impossible without ecological devastation. An analytical distinction between i...
Villarubia-Gomez, P., Cornell, S., Fabres, J. 2017. Marine plastic pollution as a planetary boundary threat – The drifting piece in the sustainability puzzle. Marine Policy, DOI: 10.1016/j.marpol.2017.11.035
The exponential increase in the use of plastic in modern society and the inadequate management of the resulting waste have led to its accumulation in the marine environment. There is increasing evidence of numerous mechanisms by which marine plastic pollution is causing effects across successive levels of biological organization. This will unavoidably impact ecological communities and ecosystem functions. A remaining question ...
Niiranen, S., Richter, A., Blenckner, T., L.C. Stige, Valman, M. A-M., Eikseset. 2017.Global connectivity and cross-scale interactions create uncertainty for Blue Growth of Arctic fisheries. Marine Policy, Volume 87, January 2018, Pages 321-330. DOI: 10.1016/j.marpol.2017.10.024
The Arctic faces high expectations of Blue Growth due to future projections of easier access and increased biological productivity. These expectations are, however, often based on global and regional climate change projections and largely ignore the complexity of social-ecological interactions taking place across different temporal and spatial scales. This paper illustrates how such cross-scale interactions at, and across, dif...
Crépin, AS., Gren, Å., Engström, G. and Ospina, D. 2017. Operationalising a social–ecological system perspective on the Arctic Ocean. Ambio 46(Suppl 3): 475. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13280-017-0960-4
We propose a framework to support management that builds on a social–ecological system perspective on the Arctic Ocean. We illustrate the framework’s application for two policy-relevant scenarios of climate-driven change, picturing a shift in zooplankton composition and alternatively a crab invasion. We analyse archetypical system dynamics between the socio-economic, the natural, and the governance systems in these scenarios. ...
Blasiak. R., Huang, J, H-W., Ishihara, H., et. al. 2017. Promoting diversity and inclusiveness in seafood certification and ecolabelling: Prospects for Asia. Marine Policy Volume 85, November 2017, Pages 42-47, DOI: 10.1016/j.marpol.2017.08.011
Building on the inputs by a range of experts who participated in the February 2017 international symposium on “Designing the Future for Fisheries Certification Schemes” at the University of Tokyo, this manuscript traces the origins of fisheries certification schemes, relevant developments, and remaining challenges from an Asian perspective. Over the past 20 years, seafood certification has emerged as a powerful tool for meetin...
