“…The reasons for these limitations are various. One possible reason is that the development of SDG Indicator 14.7.1, similar to other SDGs and indicators, is a process not fully determined by statistical principles and instead affected by other factors such as politics [5,11]. For example, it is likely a political consideration for an international fishery indicator to highlight LDCs and SIDSs, even though this may have a lot of statistical difficulties such as concepts and methods.…”

“…Secondly, more explanations of the economic and environmental dimensions of SDG Indicator 14.7.1, such as the details of calculating the 'Sustainability Multiplier', could also be published in order to help users better understand this indicator and its data [11]. It is suggested to publish some pilot reports based on the practice from a few countries, which may provide examples of how to interpret and calculate essential information such as the 'Sustainability Multiplier'.…”

“…SDG Indicator 14.7.1 is the only indicator under the SDG framework to monitor the progress of sustainable fisheries, which has the objective to support data collection, use, and interpretation regarding fisheries, and also to facilitate the making of fishery-related policies at national, regional, and global levels. Its importance is observed, and there has been substantial improvements in the development and use of SDG Indicator 14.7.1 [8,9,11].…”

“…Instead, the process of developing SDG indicators, including SDG Indicator 14.7.1, is influenced by political factors, such as tensions between statisticians and diplomats who have entirely different stances and expertise [10]. The development of SDG Indicator 14.7.1 involves not only statisticians, but also other stakeholders such as national government policymakers, diplomats, and international organization officials [8,11]. This indicator's focus on small-island developing states (SIDSs) and least-developed countries (LDCs) is also a result of the SDGs' emphasis on inclusiveness instead of being purely based on statistical considerations.…”

Using Sustainable Development Goal Indicator 14.7.1 to Measure Sustainable Fishery: The Statistical Limitations

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 14.7.1 is the only statistical indicator under the SDG framework which measures the progress to achieve sustainable fisheries. However, despite its advantages, it suffers from substantial limitations. One main problem is that it is ambiguous what this indicator really measures and what the definition of sustainable fisheries is, which is the core concept of SDG Indicator 14.7.1. In particular, this indicator has both an environmental dimension and an economic dimension, but it is unclear how one indicator can exactly reflect these two dimensions at the same time. In addition, while SDG Indicator 14.7.1 emphasizes inclusiveness in name, its definition, methodology, and practical application reveal the exclusion of a substantial number of countries from this indicator. These limitations not only diminish the anticipated functionality of SDG Indicator 14.7.1 but also contradict the objective of inclusivity. Such shortcomings of SDG Indicator 14.7.1 are possibly a result of the non-statistical considerations during the development of this indicator, including possible political influence on the statistical scientific process. A number of implications for improving the further development and use of this indicator are provided, such as the provision of more specific data and metadata

“…Since the marketing and application of hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) in 1985, China has actively promoted the strategy of newborn HepB immunization, which was included in planned immunization program (self-paying) from 1992 and began to provide vaccines free of charge from 2002, so that the HBsAg positive rate of the general population in China has decreased from 9.75% (1-59 years old) in 1992 to 7.18% (1-59 years old) in 2006, of which less than 1.0% for children under 5 years old (15). HepB catch-up vaccination was carried out from 2009 to 2011 among people under 15 years of age (born during 1994 to 2001), and the HBsAg positive rate among people aged 1-29 years old was 2.6% as of 2014 (24).

To examine the management of bloodborne occupational exposure in a tertiary hospital in China. The prospective study was conducted at Zhejiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2016 and December 2019. Data on the blood-borne occupational exposure management was collected. A total of 460 exposures were reported. 40.22% exposures were from hepatitis B virus (HBV)-positive index patients.453 exposures were reported intime, and 371 cases received emergency management. 68/73 received timely prophylaxis. Only 82/113 personnel completed the recommended follow-ups. The outsourcing personnel (P=0.002) and interns (P=0.011) were independent factors of the follow-up. No infections occurred.Although adequate compliance was adhered to with timely reporting and Prophylactic medication, the appropriateness of emergency treatment and compliance with follow-up could be enhanced. Increased availability of HBV vaccination and improved follow-up without sourced personnel are recommended.

Examination of the literature on SDG 14-IUU-trade and maritime security

The capacity of coastal nations to achieve some of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations is being impeded by the practice of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. There has also been an observed overlap between IUU fishing and other forms of transnational organized crime (TOC) at sea. One of the SDGs which are impacted by the unlawful trade in IUU fishing is SDG-14 (Life Below Water). Unsustainable and unregulated trade practices can result in overexploitation of marine resources, all of which are detrimental to SDG-14's goals. In this study, SDG-14 link with IUU, and maritime security is examined within the scope of its effect on maritime trade. The first research objective is to explore the link among those concepts by examining the literature via VOSviewer software and deducing and interpreting the results. The second objective is to examine and review the existing solutions proposed for addressing IUU and, consequently, SDG-14, with the assistance of MAXQDA software. In order to achieve the first objective, articles were sourced from the Web of Science (WoS) which indicated a correlation between SDG-14, IUU, trade and maritime security. In order to achieve the second objective, 12 articles were selected among those for analysis. This research addresses a gap as one of the studies purely focuses on the maritime security dimension of the implementation of SDG-14 -especially SDG-14.4- in terms of preventing IUU. It is concluded that there is a strong link between IUU-SDG-14 and maritime security and that prioritisation should be given among measures to tackle the fight against IUU fishing in order to achieve SDG-14 goals.
