To address these issues, circular economy (CE) principles are promoted to enhance sustainability by reducing resource use, reusing materials, and recycling outputs. However, CE adoption at the farm level remains underexplored, particularly regarding producers’ knowledge and perspectives. This study investigates the understanding and implementation of CE practices among aquaculture producers in Italy, focusing on their preferences, challenges, and perceived opportunities. A structured online survey was distributed to 220 members of the Italian Aquaculture Association (API), achieving a 47 % response rate, encompassing both freshwater and marine systems. The findings reveal that while many farmers are aware of CE principles, their understanding is largely confined to environmental aspects, often neglecting economic and social benefits. Medium-sized farms in Central Italy and freshwater producers show greater adoption of CE practices, whereas smaller farms face regulatory and technological barriers. A lack of tools to measure the impact of circular practices emerged as a key obstacle, limiting effective implementation. The study highlights that waste management is not seen as a significant cost barrier, and opportunities for business diversification through CE practices are under-recognized. Addressing knowledge gaps, providing practical tools, and streamlining regulations are crucial to overcoming barriers. This research offers insights to guide future policies and initiatives aimed at fostering circularity in aquaculture, promoting a more resilient and competitive industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"176 ","pages":"Article 106660"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current government regulations seek to eradicate informal and illegal fishing activities and include a differentiated set of regulations for industrial and small-scale fisheries to prevent overfishing. However, overfishing continues, threatening the reproduction of the anchoveta biomass. Moreover, informal and illegal activities not only persist but are intertwined with formal practices and legal frameworks, fostering processes of institutional hybridisation. Why has the implementation of sound state regulations for sustainable fishing ended up contributing to anchoveta depredation? From a political ecology perspective, we argue that we are witnessing the formation of institutional socio-ecological traps driven by power dynamics in the context of increasing institutional hybridisation. To develop our argument, we show how legal inequalities in access to anchoveta resources foster the emergence of informal fishing practices and hybrid institutions. We then analyse how, in the context of increasing demand and institutional hybridisation, powerful extractive actors are able to circumvent restrictive policies such as quotas and vessel permits designed to prevent overfishing, leading to the exacerbation of inequalities. Methodologically, this article draws on a qualitative case study of industrial and small-scale anchoveta fishing practices and regulations in Peru.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"176 ","pages":"Article 106657"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143519912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study provides the first description of the spatial distribution of vessels within these waters using Automatic Identification System (AIS) data and provides an assessment of the pressures and threats vessels may pose to five cetacean species (the spinner dolphin, the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin, the common bottlenose dolphin, the pantropical spotted dolphin and the humpback whale).

This study reviewed policies from six Anglophone countries across the West African coastal zone (Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone) and mapped policies against key themes of coastal resilience. The themes of coastal resilience were established via a thematic analysis of relevant literature as: alternative livelihoods, acquisition of climate and coastal data, support for climate resilience, coastal zone management, conservation/ecosystem services, and indigenous knowledge. The existence and coverage of these six resilience themes within the policies of each country was mapped. Each country was then ranked according to coverage of themes in their policies using a traffic light system. The analysis revealed differences between countries in the presence and emphasis of policies supporting coastal resilience. Ghana was rated as the country with the most and broadest-ranging policy and Guinea the least. Overall policy was found to be strong on themes of data gathering and conservation and ecosystem services but weak on the themes of alternative livelihoods and inclusion of indigenous knowledge.
