Nonetheless, the reliance of these statistics on data provided by member countries—which continues to raise questions about their reliability—has prompted the FAO to welcome research collaboration to overcome this challenge. In response, this study examines Egypt—a key producer—as a case study and provides a comprehensive comparative assessment of the aquaculture statistics reported by the FAO against survey-based field data, employing a data validation approach that incorporates input–output analysis. The findings reveal significant discrepancies, underscoring the importance of robust data validation. Official aquaculture production figures were overstated by 61 %, with inflated estimates for earthen pond facilities (44 % in freshwater/brackish water farms and 51 % in marine farms) and fish cages (628 %). The primary species affected by these discrepancies were tilapia (36 %), mullets (82 %), carps (569 %), and marine species (177 %). Furthermore, fry were not registered in official data for 97 % of tilapia, 96 % of mullets, and 89 % of marine species, respectively. Additionally, no official data were available on employment—estimated at 203 thousand workers—or on aquafeed, which was estimated at 1.1 million tonnes. These gaps highlight critical weaknesses in both FAO’s validation mechanisms and national statistical systems, thereby undermining the reliability of related policies. Expanding the implementation of this comparative data validation approach would enhance the accuracy of FAO statistics, strengthen evidence-based decision-making, and ultimately support the sustainable growth of global aquaculture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 106892"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144988175","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}

Seascape genetics and genomics provide scientists and managers with a multi-faceted tool that can be applied across a wide range of species and incorporated into marine spatial management. Despite the proven importance of genetic diversity for species resilience, the incorporation of genetic and genomic data is grossly underrepresented in policy, decision-making, and conservation measures. Here, we aim to support the understanding and access to information on seascape genetics and genomics for conservation and environmental management practitioners. We explain how integrating environment, space, traits, and genetics or genomics can advance marine spatial management. We use two advanced case studies to outline methodology and concepts of seascape genomics and the respective policy context, although management uptake is still pending. Lastly, we review the present status of seascape genomics research and discuss challenges, strengths, and future opportunities by providing a road map.

One of the greatest challenges to financial sustainability is often limited financial expertise, or financial capacity, among practitioners. Financial capacity is important for daily activities such as budgeting and management of financial resources to ensure that available funds are effectively deployed, as well as to implement new financial mechanisms to supplement income. Peer-to-peer learning where knowledge is shared among fellow MPA practitioners and experts can be an effective way of sharing knowledge on subjects such as financial sustainability. We hosted a knowledge sharing session at IMPAC5 in February 2023 that brought MPAConnect members, sustainable MPA financing advisors including from Grant Thornton’s Impact House, and MPA managers and funders from Belize, Honduras, and Costa Rica. Drawing upon their insights and expertise, we review crosscutting topics that we propose as crucial levers for improving financial sustainability; diversifying income and innovating MPA mechanisms, strengthening internal financial capacity, leveraging partnerships to support financial sustainability, and aligning policies to remove barriers to entry. This paper is intended to: (i) provide a review of the discussion for practitioners who could not attend the IMPAC5 session in person, (ii) offer an in-depth exploration of the strategies and lessons presented, and (iii) inspire further research and action to drive the field of MPA finance forward. In addition to the main subjects, we emphasize the importance of proper planning – including financial planning – and managing expectations when pursuing new financial mechanisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 106891"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144932822","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}

We describe the landings composition, reliance of the fishery on different species based on their seasonal availability, and analyze how this varies across regions. Trends from a social media analysis are consistent with existing recreational monitoring programs and support the perspectives of fishermen gathered during a series of workshops. We show significant differences between landings characteristics in Florida versus North Carolina and Virginia, which underscores the need for subregional considerations when implementing management regulations across the jurisdictional scale.

We evaluated training outcomes in terms of technical and non-technical co-benefits to trainees and broader contributions to national innovation systems and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Cambodia. Outcomes from the training contributed to improved sustainability for finfish mariculture in Cambodia through: increased availability of locally produced marine finfish seedstock, identification of locally available aquafeed ingredients, and improved fish health support services for farmers. The project was also perceived by the beneficiary partners as contributing to six SDGs for Cambodia.

Despite policy frameworks aimed at strengthening MCS, the practical implementation of these measures remains inconsistent across countries, posing challenges to reduce IUU fishing. We conducted a scoping review of MCS-related policies and their implementation within India. We reviewed documents (i.e. National policies &amp; bills, international agreements, Maritime agreements, etc.) related to national and Kerala state policy, compared them with international standards, and finally explored their implementation by gathering available online evidence. Despite the adoption of technologies such as biometric identification cards, online registration platforms, and satellite-based communication systems, our findings reveal major gaps between the policy framework and its implementation. Some measures, including Automatic Identification System (AIS) and logbook requirements, remain only partially implemented, leading to fragmented and inconsistent MCS oversight across India. Results at the implementation level highlight key challenges, including inconsistent vessel tracking, limited stakeholder engagement, and poor inter-state collaboration.
