Creating binding rules to restrict such subsidies is critical to preventing the collapse of global fish stocks, ensuring the sustainability of global fisheries, and reducing distortions and unfair competition in global seafood trade. The WTO reached a preliminary (“Phase 1”) agreement in 2022, prohibiting subsidies for illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, fishing of overfished stocks, and fishing on the unregulated high seas. Yet its measures are highly limited in scope, covering only a small fraction of all harmful fisheries subsidies globally. Most importantly, the agreement is entirely devoid of any disciplines on subsidies contributing to overcapacity and overfishing, which are the primary problem. Continued negotiations towards a “Phase 2” agreement on these measures successfully produced a draft set of rules with widespread support. However, although the overwhelming majority of states support the proposed Phase 2 agreement, it has been blocked by just three countries – India, Indonesia and the US. The WTO fisheries negotiations are now deadlocked, leaving little prospect of achieving the mandate set out in the SDGs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 107091"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147385696","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}

Despite its significance, there is still limited research on how climate-related challenges interact with pre-existing livelihood vulnerabilities, and even fewer studies explore whether these combined effects heighten the risk of violent conflict for small-scale fishers. To address this gap, a qualitative approach using life history interviews was employed to explore small-scale fishers' (N = 30) perceptions on climate, livelihood insecurity, and violent conflict taking place on Hatiya Island in Southern Bangladesh. These interviews captured fishers’ perceptions of climate impacts, the debt trap, livelihood insecurity, violent conflicts, and coping strategies. The findings reveal that shifting climatic patterns - affecting fish populations and availability - exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, a trend reflected not only in Hatiya but also across Bangladesh and beyond. Our analysis highlights that the interplay of climate impacts, poverty, lack of alternative livelihoods, restricted access to credit, poor governance, and fishing bans significantly increases the livelihood vulnerability of small-scale fishers. However, small-scale fishers' primary concerns lie not in the decreasing availability of fish stocks but in the challenges posed by the restricted access to fishing grounds. Extreme livelihood insecurity drives fishers’ decisions to engage in illegal fishing and consequently face violence from enforcers of fishing ban regulations. Despite such violence, many fishers persist in pursuing their livelihoods for lack of a feasible alternative. However, this persistence comes at a cost, as it fuels deep-seated grievances towards the authorities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 107077"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147385686","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}

In Indonesia, the coastal areas are home to about 2.5 million small-scale fishery households. One element of managing coastal areas is recognizing the perspectives of small-scale fishermen in the management of coastal resources. The government frequently implements policies from a top-down perspective. This study aims to understand the relationship between humans and their environment as seen from small-scale fishermen's perceptions of marine resources. Interviews were conducted with 90 fishermen across 14 coastal subdistricts in Central Sulawesi (Fisheries Management Area 713). We analyzed the perception data using a multi-criteria analysis, distributing 12 indicators across four domains. The four domains include habitat and ecosystem, fishery resources, socio-economics, and institutional aspects. The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management analysis indicates that the habitat and ecosystem domain is moderately sustainable (47), while three other domains are less so (34−40). Our approach consisted of three phases focused on enhancing the management of small-scale fisheries: the restoration strategy, the conservation and management strategy, and the maintenance of the existing strategy. This structured approach aims to address the specific challenges faced by small-scale fisheries by implementing targeted actions in each phase. It seeks to improve sustainability and resilience across all four domains of the analysis. The successful implementation of these strategies will require collaboration among stakeholders, including local communities, governments, the private sector, and environmental organizations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 107088"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147385687","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}

Based on catches for 2023, the analysis indicates that the fleet cannot internalize excise duties on fuels and social costs at its current level of operation while, once efficiency is improved, the fleet would be able to take part of them. To test these, external costs of greenhouse gas emissions, atmospheric pollutants and the social cost of fatalities designed for the EU transport sector were incorporated. The fleet could internalize greenhouse gas emissions depending on the level of energy efficiency achieved and easily internalize the social costs of fatalities to lower them below acceptable values, but not the full cost of emission pollution so policy decisions need to be made. The cost to adapt the trawler fleet to improve efficiency shows that capacity enhancing subsidies would be needed, since net benefit margins are low. For the sampled fleet the additional gross tonnage required to use new fuels and the extra cost due to the price gap in zero or near zero fuels were also assessed, indicating very limited room for transition without prior efficiency improvements and capacity subsidies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"188 ","pages":"Article 107062"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146116662","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}

This research examines how international legal frameworks address land-based marine pollution (LBMP), identifies structural drivers of weak enforcement, and evaluates where AI can meaningfully improve detection, attribution, and decision support. It proposes an integrated model centered on a Global Marine Pollution Observatory (GMPO), supported by advisory bodies and standardized evidentiary safeguards. The model links treaty mandates to cooperative data platforms, capacity-building, and technical standards, treating environmental data and analytics as global public goods. By combining the normative legitimacy of international law with the analytical strengths of AI, the framework aims to make LBMP governance more proactive, transparent, and equitable.
