Despite extensive analyses of carbon emissions from marine and coastal transportation vessels in existing research, studies on the precise measurement of carbon emissions from vessels in inland waterways and the spatiotemporal characteristics of carbon emission distribution remain limited. Addressing these emissions is essential, especially given the critical role that shipping plays in global trade. To accurately quantify emissions, the Ship Automatic Identification System (AIS) serves as a powerful tool, offering precise tracking of ships' routes, operational statuses, and activities in real time. This study leverages AIS data collected from the Suzhou segment of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, spanning from 2018 to 2023, to perform a meticulous analysis of carbon emissions over this six-year period. By applying a bottom-up Systematic Transportation and Environmental Assessment Model (STEAM), this study provides a robust and detailed estimation of emissions, allowing for a comprehensive examination of the environmental impact. Based on the calculation of Moran's I index, the analysis delves into multiple dimensions of ship carbon emissions, embracing the lenses of ship types, operational statuses, region features, and spatial-temporal autocorrelation. The results indicate that over the six-year study period, the total carbon emissions from vessels are estimated to be approximately 146.86 metric tons, with cargo ships accounting for 64.1 % of the total emissions and vessels operating in cruise mode representing 67 %. Spatially, the findings reveal that areas with higher carbon emissions are predominantly concentrated near port regions serving as critical nodes within the shipping network. These spatial patterns observed point to the localized nature of these emissions, providing essential insights for regional policymakers and environmental regulators.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"265 ","pages":"Article 107629"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143679115","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}

Currently, protocols rely on high participation from stakeholders, however, such quotas are often unfeasible, with common limiting factors being the low numbers of knowledgeable individuals in remote parts of the world, and the lack of community trust in the conservation mechanism. In this study, we test whether data from a limited number of interviews with selected artisanal fishers can provide accurate and policy-valuable information as an alternative to high-participation data collection. Our work focuses on the case of <em>Posidonia oceanica</em> seagrass beds around five Greek islands in the eastern Aegean Sea. In comparison with remotely sensed seagrass distribution maps, our results show that the quality of selected LEK data can be exceptionally high (on average 78% accuracy; maximum 92% accuracy), arguing the point that limited-participation LEK should not be discarded as invalid at policy levels. Furthermore, the way LEK is recorded, as well as the number of years of fishing experience of the participants, were found to significantly affect the quality of data being delivered. Lastly, we show that LEK outperformed the governmentally-issued seagrass map, thus providing further evidence of fishers’ LEK ability to deliver policy-relevant data regarding the distribution of their local marine habitats.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"267 ","pages":"Article 107627"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143725262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the bioaccumulation characteristics of total mercury (THg) in jumbo squid (<em>Dosidicus gigas</em>) from the eastern Pacific Ocean, analyzing the influence of factors such as mantle length, sex, and feeding ecology. We analyzed the muscle tissue of 108 squid samples (small, medium, and large-sized groups) collected from June to December 2020. THg concentrations increased with mantle length, but all values remained within Chinese national edible standards. Females in medium and large-sized groups had significantly higher THg concentrations than males. Stable isotope (δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N) and fatty acid analyses revealed the feeding habits and trophic levels of different groups and their correlation with THg levels. Principal component analysis (PCA) identified body weight, δ<sup>13</sup>C, Eicosapentaenoic Acid, and THg as significant contributors to the first principal component, while Arachidonic Acid contributed to the second. Correlations between THg, δ<sup>13</sup>C, δ<sup>15</sup>N, and the Docosahexaenoic Acid/Eicosatetraenoic Acid ratio varied among groups. These findings highlight the importance of pollutant bioaccumulation research in cephalopods, providing insights into the biogeochemical cycling of pollutants in marine ecosystems.

The intrinsic relationship between traffic flow and the penetration rate of CAV are investigated by simulation and numerical analysis. A traffic flow prediction model is constructed to evaluate traffic conditions in real time and determine optimal fleet management strategies based on a decision-making model. Experimental results demonstrate the high reliability of the proposed decision-making outcomes. Finally, sensitivity analysis examines the impacts of speed fluctuations and transition segment lengths on traffic flow under different strategies. It is found that more concentrated speed distributions lead to higher peak traffic flow, while longer transition segments minimize efficiency losses caused by strategy changes.

In this article, we conducted a systematic literature review and i) systematically discussed the blue carbon international conventions and initiatives, ii) analyzed the current blue carbon trading mechanism and the status of blue carbon project development, and iii) developed a conceptual framework for the blue carbon financing mechanism. We found that the development of blue carbon projects is facing the problem of mismatch between supply and demand. Further. Although blue carbon finance has been practiced in many ways around the world, blue carbon financial innovation and practice are very limited. To address this gap, we developed a framework which builds on three components: blue carbon principles and guidance, blue carbon trading and financial market, and blue carbon projects. We argued that a wide range of blue carbon financial forms should be adopted to expand existing financing channels, propose to classify blue carbon financial products into blue carbon spot, blue carbon trading instruments, financing instruments, and supporting instruments, and provide a systematic overview and examples of the operation mechanisms and principles of different financial instruments. The conceptual framework proposed in this study provides a systematic and comprehensive financial solution for the development of blue carbon projects, offering both theoretical contributions and practical tools for the advancement of blue carbon finance.

This article discusses the untapped power of speculative design in allowing society to envision future scenarios of climate adaptation and coastal protection. We draw on the experiences of the project “Adapting Waterfronts: Postcards from the Future, Singapore 2122” to interrogate how speculative visions about the future of waterfronts can support resilience building. The project consists of an exhibition, a virtual reality tour and a subsequent workshop, which provided opportunities for collective discussions on climate change adaptation. Exploring multiple types of knowledge, such as historic archives and scientific projections about sea-level rise, the project constructs new narratives about the political, social and biophysical aspects of coastal management. We discuss how the approach contributes to important debates in coastal management, including how it can (i) bridge historic barriers between different disciplines that are involved in urban planning and coastal management, (ii) foster speculative thinking through the use of augmented reality and (iii) reshape the relationship between researchers and society. This exploration of speculative futures – and the visualization of their implications in the city – has the potential to reshape how we conceptualize, analyse, and design coastal landscapes. Building on these experiences, we highlight gaps and important questions for similar projects aiming to promote scientific communication and education on coastal management strategies. We propose future lines of investigation on how speculative projects can offer opportunities for diverse audiences to connect with the science of climate change and, in doing so, promote collective debates on the topics of climate adaptation and coastal management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"265 ","pages":"Article 107622"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143654662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
