Abstract

Indeed, waste from marine may have a significant negative economic impact on coastal towns, tourism, shipping, and fisheries. Given its accumulation and spread, waste from marine may be one of the most urgent dangers to the sustainability of marine life and the health of the EU's waters. By considering the role of production in fisheries, fossil fuel use, economic development, and governance from 1990 to 2022, this research seeks to explore the dynamic influence of the fisheries sector on marine hazardous waste in 27 European nations. At higher quantiles, the findings showed a strong positive association between fisheries capacity production and marine hazardous waste at a 1% statistical level using the new Method of Moments Quantile Regression with fixed effects. From the fifth through the ninth quantiles (≈0.250), fishery output considerably increases marine waste, with a more substantial influence at the highest (≈0.239) and a lower impact at the lowest quantile (≈0.056). The findings also show that affluent countries in the EU14 have more significant at a 1% statistical level beneficial effect on marine waste than developing nations in the EU13. Using fossil fuels increased marine waste across all quantiles at a 1% statistical level. Still, economic development in EU14 developed and EU13 developing countries causes marine waste to decrease, at 1% and 10% statistical levels, respectively, supporting the growth theory for nations that produce fisheries. From the first through the ninth quantiles (≈−6.677) in EU27 nations, the influence of governance was adversely significant at a 1% statistical level. The findings suggest that the developed EU14 countries are more affected negatively by governance on marine waste. Using effective and environmentally friendly technology, policymakers may reduce marine waste in the EU14 and the EU13 nations while achieving sustainable development objectives.

估计渔业对海洋污染的影响:矩量分位数回归方法的新见解

事实上，海洋废弃物可能对沿海城镇、旅游业、航运和渔业产生重大的负面经济影响。鉴于海洋废物的积累和扩散，它可能是对海洋生物的可持续性和欧盟水域健康最紧迫的危险之一。通过考虑1990年至2022年期间渔业生产、化石燃料使用、经济发展和治理的作用，本研究试图探索27个欧洲国家渔业部门对海洋危险废物的动态影响。在较高的分位数上，使用具有固定效应的矩分位数回归新方法，研究结果显示渔业能力生产与海洋危险废物之间在1%的统计水平上存在强烈的正相关。从第五分位数到第九分位数(≈0.250)，渔业产出显著增加了海洋废物，最高分位数(≈0.239)的影响更大，最低分位数(≈0.056)的影响更小。研究结果还表明，在1%的统计水平上，欧盟的富裕国家对海洋废物的有益影响比欧盟的发展中国家更显著。使用化石燃料使所有分位数的海洋垃圾增加了1%的统计水平。尽管如此，欧盟14个发达国家和欧盟13个发展中国家的经济发展导致海洋废物减少，统计水平分别为1%和10%，这支持了生产渔业的国家的增长理论。在欧盟27国中，从第一到第九分位数(≈- 6.677)，治理的影响在1%的统计水平上具有显著的不利影响。研究结果表明，发达的欧盟14国受到海洋废物治理的负面影响更大。使用有效和环保的技术，决策者可以在实现可持续发展目标的同时减少EU14和EU13国家的海洋废物。

期刊介绍： Energy & Environment is an interdisciplinary journal inviting energy policy analysts, natural scientists and engineers, as well as lawyers and economists to contribute to mutual understanding and learning, believing that better communication between experts will enhance the quality of policy, advance social well-being and help to reduce conflict. The journal encourages dialogue between the social sciences as energy demand and supply are observed and analysed with reference to politics of policy-making and implementation. The rapidly evolving social and environmental impacts of energy supply, transport, production and use at all levels require contribution from many disciplines if policy is to be effective. In particular E & E invite contributions from the study of policy delivery, ultimately more important than policy formation. The geopolitics of energy are also important, as are the impacts of environmental regulations and advancing technologies on national and local politics, and even global energy politics. Energy & Environment is a forum for constructive, professional information sharing, as well as debate across disciplines and professions, including the financial sector. Mathematical articles are outside the scope of Energy & Environment. The broader policy implications of submitted research should be addressed and environmental implications, not just emission quantities, be discussed with reference to scientific assumptions. This applies especially to technical papers based on arguments suggested by other disciplines, funding bodies or directly by policy-makers.
