While policy aims for multifunctionality, coastal management studies predominantly emphasise flood safety, neglecting the recreational function and its interplay with flood safety measures. This study aims to investigate beach visitors' views and behaviour at two reinforced sandy shores in the Netherlands, namely Sand Motor and Hondsbossche Dunes. As the magnitude of the sand-based reinforcements completely changed the original beach landscape, we refer to these as sandy anthropogenic shores (SAS). We conducted surveys to assess SAS visitors' profiles, attitudes (visit motivations, landscape attractiveness), and recreational behaviour (facility preferences, activities, visitation patterns, spatial distribution). We examined differences between SAS and non-SAS beach visitors and compared their perspectives with management expectations. In our analysis, we categorised visitors into three types: local, one-day, and overnight visitors. Our analysis identified three distinct visitor motivation clusters: socialising, relaxation while appreciating beach landscapes, and engaging in sports activities. Natural landscape quality and quietness were the top attractions for SAS visitors. Despite significant human intervention in the design and alteration of the SAS landscape, visitors still appreciate its natural dynamics and beauty. Our analysis indicates that users perceive the SAS as either natural or semi-natural beaches, as intended by their designers and managers. We also developed a conceptual framework of the SAS recreation model based on survey data, forming the foundation for a quantitative model of SAS socio-environmental dynamics in the next phase of our research. Moreover, considering the similarities between SAS and natural shores, we anticipate that our findings will have broad applicability well beyond the specific SAS we have studied.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"258 ","pages":"Article 107407"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142425347","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}

It not only fosters economic development along the coastlines but also reduces their impact on marine environments and ecosystems. This will be a significant economic growth point for coastal areas in future decades. However, comprehensive research on assessing the blue economy is currently limited; existing evaluation methods are few and may not be applicable to all contexts. This study introduces the Blue Economy Index (BEI), a novel framework for evaluating the sustainable blue economy, and applies it in Japan's 39 coastal prefectures. Grounded in multi-dimensional analysis, the BEI includes four sectors: Ocean Resources and Marine Industry, Environmental and Ecological Sustainability, Socio-Economic Stability, and Risk Management. Utilizing Japan's prefectural data and addressing regional disparities, the index applies four weighting scenarios—Equalitarianism, Preservationist, Sustainable Use, and Extractive Use—to reflect different developmental strategies. The result indicates a significant imbalance in blue economy development across prefectures, with leading regions like Hokkaido, Tokyo, and Okinawa vastly outpacing others such as Ibaraki and Tottori. Additionally, the development status in 39 coastal prefectures in Japan demonstrates the cluster phenomenon and exhibits a '2 high, 3 middle, 1 low' development pattern, which comprises two extraordinary clusters and four distinctive clusters. We propose to implement zonal management for Japan's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and establish a National Ocean Agency. Promoting committee-based regional management, provide corresponding subsidies to enhance capacity building. Additionally, and drive the digital transformation in the marine sector through quantifiable indicators as BEI. The study underscores the necessity for improving current policy and regulation, as well as promoting inter-prefectural collaboration to boost the development of the blue economy. The BEI's comprehensive approach offers an example of global sustainable blue economy assessments. Policymakers and stakeholders in other countries can flexibly use and adjust the BEI method to conduct appropriate regional assessments and develop quantifiable strategies to improve the potential of marine sectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54698,"journal":{"name":"Ocean & Coastal Management","volume":"258 ","pages":"Article 107401"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142425242","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}

High dissatisfaction rates risk non-compliance: e.g. 23% of those interviewed switched to ‘recreational’ fishing during the closed season.
