In this study, content analysis revealed that the recently implemented private standards are more transparent, reliable, and ambitious than previous standards and interviews revealed the key drivers for this improvement. Interviews revealed the drivers for improvement include customer or stakeholder value chain pressure to be more environmental-friendly and the need for a shared reporting methodology. The involvement of neutral facilitators, diverse range of stakeholders, academic actors and science helped to improve the ambition and coverage of the private standards. The IMO’s GHG strategies have also been a catalyst for private sector action albeit at a collective level through private standards. However, a critical evaluation of these standards shows that there remain significant shortcomings and challenges in most of the standards across all three criteria. With the Revised IMO GHG strategy and the weak policy measures just agreed and set to be implemented in a couple of years, private standards have a greater responsibility for early and ambitious action to enable the sector’s transition during the emergence phase.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 106707"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143887104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better understand social impediments to pilot project siting, this comparative case study was conducted in urban Puget Sound, Washington and remote Iguigig, Alaska. Stakeholder interviews were coded to identify themes about project development. Providing local renewable energy, advancing science and technology, and environmental awareness were perceived benefits, while negative environmental impacts, conflicts with other uses, and unintended consequences were perceived concerns of tidal energy. The major themes were: 1) organizations influence siting in urban areas while residents influence siting in rural areas; 2) stakeholder groups cited the wellbeing of their members to justify their stances on in-stream tidal energy projects; and 3) project siting was more successful where there was a simple and uniform assemblage of stakeholders and views. Stakeholders in the smaller, more uniform community were the most supportive of in-stream tidal energy because of a greater need for energy due to fewer energy options. Thus, siting in remote communities could allow tidal energy development to progress in mutually beneficial ways and help states like Washington and Alaska achieve their renewable energy portfolio goals.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 106702"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sporadic nature of these events and their rarity has complicated efforts to understand the underlying causes, with many contributing factors implicated. Understanding shark presence and movement patterns near beaches is critical to developing a better appraisal of risk for shark bites. Recent advancements in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, or drones) technology has provided new opportunities to observe and monitor sharks in coastal areas, offering real-time safety benefits and research insights. This research uses four years of data from the Queensland SharkSmart drone trial to investigate shark presence and movement behaviour at three beaches in Southeast Queensland. The research aimed to evaluate high-resolution shark tracks to analyse key metrics including proximity to shore and water users, time spent in the area and signs of active foraging. By bringing these and other data together, the study sought to develop a risk assessment matrix to inform risk to water users at these beaches and provide criteria to assist drone pilots decide when to evacuate beaches when risk is higher. Results showed that shark species, total length, proximity to water users and prey presence were key aspects determining the risk to water users associated with shark sighting events. Areas with abundant prey or near river mouths were more likely to attract potentially dangerous sharks. Understanding shark patterns at these beaches will facilitate predictions of higher-risk shark occurrences, thereby contributing to risk management and improvement of SharkSmart education for water users.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 106737"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The implementation of the strategy requires Member States to assess the costs associated with the realization of MSFD measures to determine their feasibility and cost-effectiveness. Here we conducted a comprehensive analysis along 8300 km of the Italian coastline, to provide a cost analysis of the 23 new measures proposed for the second cycle of MSFD implementation in Italy. We used “unit-transfer” methodology to estimate the costs of each measure, grouping them into three categories: a) prevention, b) management, and c) monitoring and control. The “management” group included 12 measures and accounted for 65 % of total costs, followed by the “monitoring and control” group (5 measures, 28 % of total costs) and the “prevention” group (5 measures, 7 % of total costs). One measure had a double goal, and its implementation was attributed both to “prevention” and “monitoring and control”. The cost of implementing all the measures in Italy is approximately € 1.5 billion (∼0.07 % of Italian GDP in 2023). These results provide, for the first time, comprehensive and detailed quantitative information useful for policy makers to enable efficient financial planning for future actions required to achieve the GES in marine ecosystems. The approach developed here could also serve as a standard framework for assessing the costs of future measures under the MSFD, providing a benchmark or a methodological term of reference for all interested EU Member States.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 106715"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While donors also view cables as infrastructures that can enable and enhance digital connectivity, they may make decisions about cable infrastructure projects with geopolitical considerations in mind in the current context. Geopolitical manoeuvring and geoeconomic activities receive a great deal of attention amongst the commentariat and some scholars suggest that they are influencing the design of cable systems. This research has found that Pacific leaders are primarily concerned with improving digital connectivity and enhancing cybersecurity. Nonetheless, Pacific leaders are working towards their development objectives strategically in the current geopolitical context.

The two most important points of the 2018 amendment to the 1949 Fisheries Act are the introduction of new systems for managing fisheries resources to promote sustainable fisheries and the revision of the fisheries rights system to ensure the comprehensive utilization of coastal waters for fisheries. The FCAs Act was concurrently amended to update the roles of fisheries cooperative associations (FCAs) to achieve the objectives of the amended 1949 Fisheries Act.

The Conditional Mixed Process (CMP) Ordered Probit and the endogenous switching regression (ESR) models are adopted to establish the study’s findings. The results reveal that fishing efforts, in both inland dams and marine waters, are excessive. These excessive fishing efforts are found to increase the risk of depleting and causing the extinction of fish species. Inland water bodies with fewer species are more prone to experiencing depletion than marine waters with a higher variety of fish species. In addition, the results reveal that strict environmental norms imposed by government officials in fishing communities significantly reduce the likelihood of fishery depletion. When environmental regulations are more stringent, there is a 2.1 % lower chance of extreme fishery species depletion and an 18 % higher chance of no fish species depletion. The findings also suggest that incorporating fishery training programs into fishing activities in Cameroon decreases the likelihood of fish species depletion. Educational initiatives to raise awareness about sustainable fishery practices can also help reduce fishery resource depletion. Additionally, strict environmental regulations are essential in minimizing fish species depletion in inland areas within the Cameroon fishing industry.
