“…Other social conflicts related to the development of aquaculture and the introduction of specific fisheries have been identified in the literature, including disputes over the distribution of burdens and benefits, the clash between industrial production and traditional fishing models, decision making, and the regulation of marine areas and their resources. These conflicts have emerged in contexts as diverse as in Europe (Ertör and Ortega-Cerdà, 2015), Australia (Condie et al, 2023), Canada (Wiber et al, 2021), and India (Adduci, 2009). In the case of the Japanese suspended cultivation system implemented in Tongoy, the adoption of technology as a model of the privatization of fishing also shows results that differ from those initially planned, as well as an increase in social conflicts derived from the division of the sea and regionalization.…”

The expansion of neoliberalization of fisheries in developing countries has been largely driven by political economic decisions. Artisanal fisheries and aquaculture have not been exempt from these privatization measures, the implementation of deregulation measures in the fisheries sector, and commoditization strategies oriented mainly to exports. However, little research has been done about these issues jointly in South America. Therefore, the adoption of these measures and the adaptation and transformation of artisanal fishermen to entrepreneurs were studied in the scallop (Argopecten purpuratus) fishery/aquaculture in Tongoy Bay, Chile. We use qualitative research and an analysis of historical archives to describe a series of political-economic changes, stages, and processes involved in the transformation of the sector. The analysis focuses on conflicts, resistance practices, and value regimes between fishers and farmers to explore the different moral economies at play. Our results show that (a) changes in moral economies are neither automatic nor unidirectional; (b) the State, through its economic policy, technological development institutions, and technology transfer actions, does not directly generate expected results; (c) artisanal fishers who have become entrepreneurs understand and justify competitiveness (or lack of it) because some are more entrepreneurial than others; (d) despite the adoption of neoliberal guidelines, aspects of a more traditional moral economy remain, such as the role of family units in the configuration of enterprises; and, finally, (e) artisanal fishers have moved from a traditional moral economy based on collective and historical rights to a neoliberal moral economy based on the individual and his or her capacity for self-improvement, entrepreneurship, and efficient work management.

“…Some of these stakeholders include donor organizations and international conservation NGOs, e.g., the WWF [63], [77], [79], [81] and the International Whaling Commission (IWC) [93]; global scienti c institutions, e.g., NOAA [90]; global media broadcasting companies [50]; and environmental journalists [51]. Others can include marine law practitioners and organizations to resolve ocean disputes, e.g., in the ABNJ [96], e.g., the UNCLOS and the UNESCO [12]; interest groups; and private companies in ocean carbon research and its applications [53], e.g., salmon interest groups, e.g., contractors; suppliers; the Tasmanian Salmon Growers Association (TSGA) [97]; global interagency teams; and committees [23], women's groups, youth groups and organizations [16].…”

“…Through the BE, there are high possibilities that can bene t from MSP by promoting sustainable and equitable use of ocean resources, thus enhancing marine space peace and stability, e.g., in the Baltic Sea [64]. For SIDS, e.g., Seychelles, the study could aid in developing a participatory but critical and re exive approach to the blue economy and ocean governance, which takes into account the social, cultural, and political dimensions of these issues [20], [63], [97] via the recognition and management of the ecological complexity of coastal ecosystems that help to mitigate the impacts of climate change, reduce the risk of coastal ooding and pollution and promote sustainability in the management of ocean resources [86], [90] as well as the incorporation of indigenous and local knowledge into the planning process, which can improve the accuracy and relevance of the resulting plans and support the sustainable use of ocean resources [29], [49], [88], [95].…”

Marine spatial planning (MSP) is the key to attaining global ocean sustainability targets related to the blue economy (BE) and inclusive tapping of ocean resources. Although there has been robust progress in promoting MSP, e.g., in the European Union (EU), most countries have yet to develop comprehensive strategies focused on MSP, which could affect fragile ecosystems and vulnerable livelihoods that are already affected by anthropogenic impacts and natural/environmental pressures. Even within the EU, comprehensive MSPs have been developed only in individual countries or specific maritime zones. One of the gaps identified in the literature is related to the limited knowledge of stakeholder engagement in the MSP process. Our study tries to bridge this gap, and we used a mixed research approach—i.e., systematically reviewed 86 articles on MSP—and conducted a key informant interview intending to identify what type of stakeholders or which stakeholders are needed in the MSP process; how, when, and where could they be involved; and how could they impact a sustainable blue economy? The findings revealed that MSP is a systematic process in which different stakeholders are needed at different levels at different temporal and spatial scales. In addition, the approach used to involve stakeholders is required to be based on a given region's governance targets in that region. The study revealed that marine resource user conflicts that hamper sustainable governance and the use of blue economy resources could be solved through MSP. The approach for stakeholder engagement that we bring to the fore in this study could help in the design of more effective participatory conservation interventions that meet ocean sustainability targets.
