“…An assessment using as a test case the UK has been made in [212] with particular reference to MPAs, aquaculture, and commercial fishing. The idea of multi-use offshore platforms (MUP) combining MRE, transportation and aquaculture facilities has been studied in [285][286][287][288][289][290]. In [286], the methodological steps for the design of a MUP, based on technical, environmental, and socio-economic criteria have been proposed, followed by a test case scenario off the Western Sardinia coasts, where WECs, offshore WTs, and aquaculture are studied in a combined way.…”

Abstract:In this work, an extended overview of the marine renewable energy in the Mediterranean Sea is provided as regards current status, potential problems, challenges, and perspectives of development. An integrated and holistic approach is necessary for the economic viability and sustainability of marine renewable energy projects; this approach comprises three different frameworks, not always aligned, i.e., geotechnical/engineering, socio-economic, and environmental/ ecological frameworks. In this context, the geomorphological, climatological, socio-economic, and environmental/ecological particularities of the Mediterranean basin are discussed, as they constitute key issues of the spatial context in which marine renewable energy projects are to be implemented. General guidelines for the sustainable development of marine renewable energy in the Mediterranean are also provided.Keywords: marine renewable energy; ocean energy; offshore wind energy; marine spatial planning; Mediterranean Sea; roadmap for marine energy development Key TopicsThe main topics that this paper deals with, can be summarized as follows: •Global status of the different types of marine renewable energy (MRE), i.e., offshore wind, wave, tidal, thermal, and salinity gradients energy conversion:

“…De zee is daarmee niet langer het domein van transport, recreatie, visserij en olie-en gaswinning; zij krijgt nieuwe functies in de maritieme economie. Ook voor de productie van duurzame energie, eiwitten, grondstoffen voor de biobased economy en de winning van zeldzame mineralen wordt gekeken naar de ruimte op, en functionaliteiten van, de zee (Bilgili et al, 2011;Zanuttigh et al, 2015).…”

“…However, inappropriate planning of disordered and intensive coastal aquaculture may cause serious environmental problems and socioeconomic losses. The potential issues include water pollution [3,4], impacts on the surrounding sediment [5], damages to coral reefs, and biodiversity loss in coastal sea areas [6]. Globally, from 2000 to 2016, the total production of marine aquaculture has increased from 14.2 to 28.7 million tons [7,8].…”

Coastal aquaculture plays an important role in the provision of seafood, the sustainable development of regional and global economy, and the protection of coastal ecosystems. Inappropriate planning of disordered and intensive coastal aquaculture may cause serious environmental problems and socioeconomic losses. Precise delineation and classification of different kinds of aquaculture areas are vital for coastal management. It is difficult to extract coastal aquaculture areas using the conventional spectrum, shape, or texture information. Here, we proposed an object-based method combining multi-scale segmentation and object-based neighbor features to delineate existing coastal aquaculture areas. We adopted the multi-scale segmentation to generate semantically meaningful image objects for different land cover classes, and then utilized the object-based neighbor features for classification. Our results show that the proposed approach effectively identified different types of coastal aquaculture areas, with 96% overall accuracy. It also performed much better than other conventional methods (e.g., single-scale based classification with conventional features) with higher classification accuracy. Our results also suggest that the multi-scale segmentation and neighbor features can obviously improve the classification performance for the extraction of cage culture areas and raft culture areas, respectively. Our developed approach lays a solid foundation for intelligent monitoring and management of coastal ecosystems.Environmental Protection Law, overall marine functional zonation, and nature reserve schemes, have been formulated for the management of coastal areas. However, comprehensive coastal management in China is still a big challenge. Thus, the monitoring and management of coastal aquaculture are imperative to ensure sustainable development of marine aquaculture industry.Remote sensing technology has substantially improved our ability to observe remote or inaccessible areas at a fraction of the cost of traditional surveys [9]. Mapping and monitoring of aquaculture facilities provide decision-makers with important baseline data on production, cultivated area boundaries, and environmental impacts [10,11]. Remote sensing can provide consistent and wide-range monitoring using various sensors to support aquaculture management [12][13][14], which means the mapping of aquaculture facilities can be performed accurately and periodically at selected scales.Previous studies have used visual interpretation, spatial structure enhanced analysis, and object based image analysis (OBIA) to extract coastal aquaculture areas from remotely sensed imagery. Although visual interpretation can achieve the highest accuracy, it takes a lot of time and effort. Thus, it is less used presently. Spatial structure enhancement techniques, such as neighborhood and texture analysis, are the most commonly adopted methods in the classification process [15,16]. OBIA has become a widely used method in the past decades, especially for the classification o...
