Meeting the targets of these policies requires an understanding of how marine ecosystems respond to anthropogenic pressures such as exploitation, habitat loss and climate change. Much of the burden of achieving these targets currently rests on small, remote island communities with limited resources and capacity. The development of co-ordinated global networks is one approach that can be used to address this issue and enable local communities, through the provision of equipment, training, and resources to collect and analyse the data required to meet national and, in some cases, global conservation and protection targets. The Global Ocean Wildlife Analysis Network (GOWAN) is a collaboration supported by the UK Government Blue Belt Programme between United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs), the Centre for the Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) and Blue Abacus and comprises of a network of Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS). This paper describes the drivers for the development of GOWAN, one such global network which was designed to overcome many of the challenges faced by the UKOTs in relation to capacity, resources and use of the equipment. We present two case studies which detail how the equipment has been used and how the data collected has already informed the development of management strategies. Finally, we discuss how such networks facilitate the collection of standardised data required to address questions associated with large scale ocean protection through to fine scale local conservation strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 107024"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145978134","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 paper examines how Japanese television and newspapers convey blue carbon, focusing on their role in shaping scientific concepts within marine governance. Through a content analysis of 29 television programs and 26 newspaper articles published between March 2023 and August 2024, the study evaluates each coverage against five expert-defined criteria, including the explanation of blue carbon mechanisms, current conditions of marie ecosystems, and associated risks and challenges. Results reveal that Japanese television and newspapers insufficiently address scientific explanations of blue carbon, such as presenting potential challenges and risks, or appropriate use of quantitative data for public understanding. Furthermore, biases considered specific to Japan were also identified. This lack of depth or biases may limit the effectiveness of public communication in fostering an accurate and comprehensive understanding of blue carbon. Thus, this study highlights the importance of presenting balanced narratives that incorporate both the benefits and challenges of blue carbon initiatives. Additionally, the findings emphasize the critical need for enhanced understanding and collaboration among media professionals, policymakers, marine scientists to ensure the development of effective communication strategies. Such approaches can not only improve public awareness but also facilitate the adoption of informed policies. By bridging gaps between expert knowledge and public discourse, this research contributes to the advancement of science-based marine policy in Japan and provides a model for other countries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 107028"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145927239","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 the United States, previous federal climate goals prioritized decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and offshore wind was identified as a key technology in the clean energy transition. The state of Maine has proposed two projects to test floating turbine technology and research the ecological, economic, and social impacts of offshore wind development. Commercial lobstermen are one stakeholder group that has been outspoken about these projects. Here, we examine the role of place attachment—or the elements of a place that evolve to have meaning among individuals and communities—in the perspectives of commercial lobstermen regarding the development of offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine. We analyzed 55 written public testimonies and conducted 16 semi-structured phone interviews with randomly selected lobstermen. Written public testimony showed higher rates of opposition than randomized interviews. A qualitative analysis of these data indicated the presence of place attachment among commercial lobstermen and highlighted four prominent themes that encapsulated both positive and negative attitudes towards offshore wind: 1) community reliance on lobstering; 2) communal ties; 3) stewardship of the ocean; and 4) costs for local communities. These findings suggest that contextualizing offshore wind management among other place-based challenges and grounding engagement efforts at the local scale could better address the specific priorities and concerns of communities. Additionally, these findings raise considerations about compensation strategies for the negative impacts of offshore wind development to account for both economic and social impacts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 107002"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145792116","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}

Long-term social, cultural and economic impacts highlight the need for a just recovery, prioritising requirements and perspectives of the most affected and offering opportunity for recovery and transformation. However, a just recovery requires sustained policy support, aligning with what different sections of the community aspire to. We therefore engaged different sectors of the fishing community in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture in an exploratory collaborative Q-Methodology exercise, to identify divergence and agreement on priorities for long-term recovery in the locality. Our results show that whilst ‘the community’ is never homogenous, a just recovery may depend as much on understanding people outside the community – such as distant consumers – as those in it. We also found that place identity can remain strong across the community in the face of major environmental change; and that divergence over how to proceed with ‘recovery’ may only emerge after the initial ‘emergency’ response period has passed. We make three tentative recommendations about how existing policy could better support just recovery in Iwaki and contexts like it. One is continuing core support for reform of infrastructure and distribution systems to transform local economies. Second is enabling locally-driven messaging about quality of produce, over and above technical safety information. Third is creating processes to engage intermediaries in long-term environmental monitoring to support evidence-informed decision-making.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 107025"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145885116","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 the traditional theory of tort and liability, this paper tries to analyze how to regulate unmanned ship collision liability by combining the impact and challenges of unmanned ships on the tort theory of ship collision.

On this basis, there is the viewpoint of this paper: we should impartially consider both the ship attribute and the artificial intelligence attribute when constructing the collision liability system for unmanned ships. As results, it is recommended that the traditional liability for ship collision shall still be applicable to unmanned ship collision liability due to the nature of ships, but additional types of liabilities are demanded due to the artificial intelligence attribute so as to avoid the biased application of rules. Moreover, these types of liabilities are not directly applicable, which means the rules need to be reformed appropriately. This paper finally gives the conclusion that the tort liability for unmanned ship collision shall be categorized as “product liability + tort liability for traditional ship collision” by integrating the influence of the two attributes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 107034"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145978131","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 study examines how economic and financial instruments can internalize invasion-related externalities and support preventive, cost-effective responses. A suite of tools, ranging from removal subsidies and compensation funds to Pigouvian taxes, tradable permits, and performance bonds, offers pathways to embed ecological risk into fiscal and policy frameworks. Examples from the region, including lionfish and pufferfish removal incentives and blue crab market valorization, demonstrate how targeted measures can simultaneously reduce IAS impacts and sustain local livelihoods. Compensation for IAS-driven stock declines underscores the importance of financial support for affected communities, while taxation and permit schemes can signal risks and discourage high-impact activities. Persistent challenges include limited valuation data, fragmented governance, and unequal feasibility between EU and non-EU countries. Strengthening green budgeting practices, public–private partnerships, and markets for IAS-derived products offers underexplored opportunities to align economic incentives with conservation goals. By reviewing existing applications and policy frameworks and identifying gaps, the paper proposes pathways to integrate economic instruments into regional action plans under the United Nations Environment Programme / Mediterranean Action Plan and the Barcelona Convention.

Consequently, there is a substantial risk of impairing maritime rights over time. Under such circumstances, even if the statehood continues to exist and maritime rights remain intact, State capacity would also diminish. In 2022, Tuvalu introduced digitalization as a strategy to safeguard its territorial and maritime rights against these challenges. This raises the issue of how digitalization can reinforce the land-based territorial functions of small island States and strengthen their maritime rights. In scenarios involving partial or total land submergence, digitalization offers the potential to uphold economic, cultural, and political functions that are traditionally reliant on physical territory. Furthermore, digital technologies can enhance the capacity of these States to exercise and ultimately consolidate their maritime rights more effectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 107042"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146022748","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}
