Abstract

Climate change, overfishing, pollution, and habitat degradation are no longer distant threats and demand our collective action. Rising to this challenge, the Aquatic Resources and Blue Economy Conference (ARBEC) held in Kisumu, Kenya served as a call to action for sustainable aquatic practices and protection of blue economy resources. The blue economy holds much promise yet as the global community faces unprecedented environmental challenges, it’s potential hinges on our ability to make informed, science-driven decisions.

特别部分导言：水产资源促进非洲大湖地区的可持续未来和蓝色经济繁荣

气候变化、过度捕捞、污染和栖息地退化不再是遥远的威胁，需要我们采取集体行动。为了应对这一挑战，在肯尼亚基苏木召开的水产资源和蓝色经济会议（ARBEC）呼吁人们采取行动，采取可持续的水产养殖方法，保护蓝色经济资源。蓝色经济大有可为，但全球社会正面临着前所未有的环境挑战，蓝色经济的潜力取决于我们能否做出明智、科学的决策。

期刊介绍： Published six times per year, the Journal of Great Lakes Research is multidisciplinary in its coverage, publishing manuscripts on a wide range of theoretical and applied topics in the natural science fields of biology, chemistry, physics, geology, as well as social sciences of the large lakes of the world and their watersheds. Large lakes generally are considered as those lakes which have a mean surface area of >500 km2 (see Herdendorf, C.E. 1982. Large lakes of the world. J. Great Lakes Res. 8:379-412, for examples), although smaller lakes may be considered, especially if they are very deep. We also welcome contributions on saline lakes and research on estuarine waters where the results have application to large lakes.
