Among the dimensions of government trust, both benevolence—the belief in the government’s goodwill to protect its citizens—and trust in the information it provides emerged as significant predictors of purchase intention. This study demonstrates that during international food safety crises, public trust in their own government’s protective intent is a crucial factor in consumer behavior, potentially outweighing perceived risk itself.

Two dominant degradation forms were identified: small patches and localized bare areas associated with gradual, selective logging, and large pond-clustered conversions, reflecting a systematic landscape-scale expansion. Spatial regression showed that logging-related degradation was only weakly explained by spatial variables, suggesting a more substantial influence from non-spatial drivers, such as socioeconomic factors. In contrast, pond conversion exhibited strong spatial dependence, primarily driven by accessibility to infrastructure and settlements. These contrasting patterns highlight the need for differentiated and coordinated management strategies. Localized logging should be addressed through community-based monitoring and regular patrols. Aquaculture expansion requires stricter land-use regulations and continuous spatial monitoring.

Over decades of marine environmental protection practices, China has gradually established the guiding principle of “land and sea coordination,” focusing on addressing prominent environmental problems in offshore area by strengthening the prevention and control of land-based pollution. The study examines how the “land and sea coordination” principle can rectify the deficiencies in marine environment protection enforcement, and underscores the importance of establishing a more cohesive legal and regulatory framework that aligns land and sea environmental protection efforts. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis of existing legal frameworks, regulatory practices, and spatial planning policies. By reviewing these components, the research identifies key gaps in the current enforcement system, particularly in the fragmented approach to land and sea governance. The study offers actionable recommendations, including the need for a strengthened legal framework that better integrates land-sea environmental protection, the promotion of unified spatial planning that resolves conflicts between land and marine policies, the enhancement of pollutant discharge standards tailored to marine ecological needs, and the improvement of sewage outfall regulations. Key results include recommendations for improving the legal framework, promoting unified spatial planning, enhancing pollutant discharge standards, strengthening the regulation of sewage outfalls, and improving environmental protection obligations in coastal reclamation. The findings emphasize that implementing the “land and sea coordination” principle is vital for ensuring the sustainable development of marine ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 107014"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145841919","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 results showed that non-state stakeholders' participation was effective during the design, early development, and implementation phases of instrument production although local communities contributed less than other influencing stakeholders (non-governmental organizations, experts, and exporting companies) due to power asymmetries. However, the final content of most policy instruments was determined with limited participation while the decision-making process remained under the control of the central fisheries administration. The paper highlights the visible and hidden aspects of apparent inclusive governance of the fisheries.

The analysis reveals that various instruments, particularly the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, require states to provide assistance to others, especially developing countries, including assistance for enhancing MLE. While international institutions have established several capacity-building initiatives, these efforts have not fully met the MLE needs of developing countries, highlighting the necessity for further strengthening of capacity-building efforts. Some regional cooperation efforts for capacity-building have been initiated, and countries have also formed bilateral cooperation to strengthen MLE.
