“…Concerning the theoretical framework, the sustainable livelihoods approach represents the predominant lens of many studies in this stream (Ferrol-Schulte et al, 2013;Harohau et al, 2020;Tilot et al, 2021). In simplified terms, the sustainable livelihoods approach structures variables that limit or boost livelihood opportunities and describes how they are linked (Serrat, 2017).…”

Research about ocean-human relations has significantly increased in recent years. Compared to other disciplines in the oceanic realm, the marine social sciences, as an umbrella term for diverse disciplines and research streams dealing with ocean-human relations, however only recently gained more attention. In this light, the UN Ocean Decade stresses marine social science’s pivotal role in assessing future trajectories toward more sustainable ocean-human relations. Our study aims to identify research trends in sustainability-related marine social sciences. Therefore, we thoroughly analyzed the metadata of 1,215 peer-reviewed articles published between 1991 and 2023 and retrieved from the Web of Sciences (WoS) database by applying various bibliometric analysis methods. Our study provides insights into (1) the scientific production of sustainability-related marine social sciences and its evolution (2) the main topics and research streams of sustainability-related marine social sciences, and (3) how these topics developed over time. The findings demonstrate a significant increase in annual scientific production as time progressed, with some countries and institutions contributing more than others. We identified, discussed, and visualized six research streams: (1) Perceptions and benefits of marine conservation; (2) Fisheries, aquaculture, and food security; (3) Climate change and climate change responses; (4) Coastal landscape and land use change; (5) Coastal and marine management; and (6) Development and ocean-human health. Based on those discussions, our study points to four future avenues for research and discussions marine social sciences could potentially build on. These include (1) strengthening the capacity of sustainability-related marine social sciences; (2) enhancing cross-country studies and cooperation; (3) fostering dialogue between marine natural and social scientists; and (4) making (more) sense of sustainability-related marine social science’s epistemic features.

“…This could be due to the reason that the marine resources, such as fish, seaweed, and sea cucumbers, captured are mostly consumed by the communities themselves. Under the notion of a blue economy, the marine resources must be preserved because of their economic benefits to the local community [17]. The blue economy also propagates for the protection of TK for the community's survival [18].…”

This study was conducted to analyse the practice of associated use of traditional knowledge (TK) on marine resources as new sources of wealth to enhance the economic well-being of the coastal communities. This study employed a qualitative research approach with a total of 117 respondents in Peninsular Malaysia. Convenience and purposive sampling methods were used to identify potential respondents and thematic analysis for the data analysis. The data was gathered through telephone interviews during the Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the study reveal that the associated use of traditional knowledge on marine resources does play an essential role in the economic well-being of coastal communities. This was assessed through the perspective of living standards and livelihood improvement. The potential of TK based on marine resources illustrates the opportunity for this practice to become a valuable economic resource and create employment opportunities among coastal communities to generate a sustainable source of income. This study can also change modern society's perception of the importance and benefits of TK based on marine resources. The implications of this study can be viewed from the theory, practice, and policy. Future studies could be expanded to the Borneo region of Malaysia to gather different perspectives, and a quantitative approach could be used to gather more extensive opinions.

“…11 Various authors have already questioned the political and ecological consequences of DSM (Zalik 2018;Childs 2020;Le Meur et al 2018;Bainton et al 2021;Tilot et al 2021), but only very few have taken an ethnographic approach (Childs 2019;Filer, Gabriel 2018). Especially interesting is the work of the geographer John Childs who showed (in his multi-site research conducted at Nautilus Minerals' headquarters in Brisbane and its national office in Papua New Guinea, as well as with manufacturers of underwater vehicles in the UK) that it is precisely the materiality of the sea that is exploited by the corporation to legitimize the Solwara 1 DSM project (Papa New Guinea) as sustainable (Childs 2019).…”

‘On board’ deep-sea mining. An ocean-based perspective

A battery in a rock». So goes the slogan of Nautilus Minerals, one of the companies currently most active in the deep-sea mining (DSM) sector. Today, the extraction of minerals from the seabed is increasingly seen as the new frontier in the push to transition to a «low-carbon economy» that requires larger quantities of metals. The mainstream narrative behind what is broadly termed "just transition" is that technology will save the world 2 . As Donna Haraway argues this apocalyptic mood is characterized by a «cosmic faith in restorative technology» (Haraway 2020: 16). In the search for solutions to mitigate climate change, the demands of capitalist societies go unchallenged; on the contrary, even more resources are being invested in the quest for advanced technologies, with a view to maintaining the existing system under a greener guise. As some scholars have proposed, «just transition could provide another platform for corporate "tournaments of virtue" where companies compete to profile their "good deeds"» (Bainton et al. 2021: 627). Not surprisingly, DSM is touted by national governments and corporations as more environmentally and socially sustainable than "land-based" extraction. 2 'On board' deep-sea mining.
