Recent advances in remote sensing (RS) technology have revolutionized the way mangroves are valued and evaluated, particularly in urban areas. While these technological developments have significantly improved our ability to manage vital ecosystems, the current literature provides only partial insights into the state of RS applications (RSA) for mangrove valuation. Hence, evaluating the impact of recent advances in RSA on the field of mangrove management through a systematic review is desirable, which could potentially provide the scientific community with a comprehensive and broader understanding of the subject matter.</div><div>We, therefore, conduct a detailed analysis of RSA for mangrove mapping and valuation over the past two decades. We examine the research landscape and uncover a substantial body of literature that encompasses the physical, biological, economic, and management aspects of mangroves. The current spectrum of the RSA highlights the relationship between mangrove valuation paper production, its relevant sources and affiliations, and is closely tied to past events and technological advancements. The collaboration is higher between Western countries and mangrove-growing nations in the East, such as Vietnam. Our findings indicate that countries without mangrove resources (e.g., Germany) have shown interest in valuing mangroves and collaborating with mangrove-rich countries for research purposes.</div><div>While noticeable progress has been made in integrating RS techniques with mangrove valuation, there is still potential for growth, particularly in leveraging technology for a comprehensive assessment of ecosystem services. International collaboration remains pivotal for advancing research and practical conservation efforts. Our recommendations underscore the need for refined literature clustering methodologies to enable nuanced tracking of emerging trends, disciplinary crossovers, and the evolution of the research domain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"269 ","pages":"Article 107844"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144563665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a DCE to yield relevant and valid results, the careful selection of attributes and attribute levels is crucial. In this study, we offer a systematic mixed-methods approach to tailor highly pertinent DCEs conducted within low-literate communities, involving the use of a novel pictorial-based scoring tool. We illustrate our approach with a case study, describing how attributes and attribute levels were selected for a future DCE investigating local community preferences in the design of marine protected areas (MPAs) in Senegal. By 2030, the United Nations aims to protect 30 % of the ocean, which requires tripling the global coverage of MPAs, with a significant expansion expected in low-income countries. Social support, which largely depends on stakeholders’ perceptions, is essential for MPAs to achieve their conservation goals. MPAs vary in governance, management, and surrounding development features. In our case, MPA users, who depend on these areas for their livelihoods, identified the development of infrastructure for the fishing sector and basic community needs as the most impactful MPA features. Significant differences were noted between stakeholder groups: men underscored the importance of conflict resolution mechanisms, communication methods, and MPA boundary visibility, while women stated being more affected by specific fishing restrictions. In addition, MPA managers and officers did not fully grasp community members' perceptions. These findings highlight the need for managers to regularly consult local communities within MPAs using appropriate tools in order to ensure their long-term success. Our study allowed us to identify the most relevant attributes and levels in our case. The semi-qualitative approach proposed to DCE design offers a valuable tool for researchers planning to conduct DCEs in low-literate communities, helping them optimise their study design and ensure relevant findings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"269 ","pages":"Article 107840"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144522974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three tools were used to lay a solid foundation for the designed strategy: 1. an in-depth review of the literature to understand the factors that contribute to the irresponsible attitude of divers and the consequent environmental damage; the successful practices that have been adopted/proposed and the potential factors that contribute to failures in achieving environmentally responsible behaviour, 2. a spatial index approach to detect the areas where the probability of diving impact is highest, and 3. a behavioural change framework to promote greater environmental awareness and stewardship and to induce a mindset shift in scuba divers.</div><div>The proposed management flow is built around four key elements: 1. the establishment of a network of dive centres and other stakeholders directly or indirectly connected to scuba diving; 2. the development of a data hub to ensure the collection, storage, and exchange of data, knowledge, and outcomes among all parties; 3. the implementation of a robust communication plan to facilitate multi-directional feedback within the stakeholder network; and 4. the application of a spatial approach to map the distribution and intensity of pressures across the territory. Among priority habitats, marine caves require particular attention from policymakers due to their ecological vulnerability and their potential role as refugia for key habitat-forming species, at least at their entrance.

Consequently, it has become increasingly critical to identify the specific drivers of coastal vulnerability and to quantify vulnerability levels by taking into account both socio-economic conditions and natural environmental factors. In this study, the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) were applied to quantitatively assess the vulnerability of the Shanwei Chengqu District (SWCD), focusing on both physical and human-related influences. The results revealed a varied distribution of vulnerability along the 151.8 km mainland coastline of SWCD, with 50 percent classified as highly vulnerable, 25 percent as moderately vulnerable, and the remaining 25 percent as low vulnerability. The key contributing factors included coastal slope, geomorphology, sea level change, wave height, and the presence of road infrastructure. The study highlights that in areas with limited human activity, coastal vulnerability is primarily shaped by natural environmental conditions. Moreover, significant spatial variation in vulnerability was observed, largely determined by differences in geomorphological settings and hydrodynamic conditions. Notably, regions both near and far from SWCD show similar patterns in the underlying drivers of vulnerability, indicating the potential existence of common mechanisms across different spatial contexts. However, spatial heterogeneity remains evident due to site-specific influences such as coastal morphology and the varying intensity of human activities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"269 ","pages":"Article 107834"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144518321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the Turkish flag state was selected as the target fleet, and 6008 inspection reports from four memorandums in which this fleet sailed most frequently were analyzed using three different Naive Bayes-based algorithms. Moreover, a model was developed not only for detecting substandard ships, but also for identifying the specific areas in which these ships may be deficient. It was determined that the accuracy value of the model predicting the detection of a deficiency on the ship reached 73.4 %, and for the deficiency areas, these values were between 64.6 and 99.4 %. Models with satisfactory levels of performance metrics were also supported by scenario analyses. The most important variables affecting the detection of deficiency on the ship were found to be \"ship age\", \"classification society\" and \"ship deficiency index\", respectively. The research novelty is that it has feasible approach for flag state implementations by integrating machine learning approaches into ship inspections. The developed models can minimize the risks of the ships in terms of safety, security, and environment by detecting the substandard ships at the first stage for the flag state implementations and may be facilitators for other inspection implementations, especially port state controls.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"269 ","pages":"Article 107826"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144501301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
