“…The European Union was the first consumer market to implement a catch documentation scheme to control seafood imports under the EU-IUU Regulation in 2010 (Table 1). Most recently, Japan has advertised the implementation of a scheme that initially covers four species groups and is based on the EU scheme 10 , but the technical and legal details of the policy are not yet available and it is not confirmed as officially online.…”

“…Ultimately, better science communication can help bolster ocean literacy, meaning that informed societies and stakeholders become equipped to start addressing the three transformative processes, by influencing policy change and project or programme design (Pace, Saritas and Deidun 2023). For example, Japan is experiencing a decrease of young fishers entering the industry – a socio-cultural process that threatens the longevity of the sector (Hirokawa and Thompson 2023). This is partly driven by dissatisfaction over recent fisheries policy reforms, and a lack of consumer appreciation for sustainable seafood – with the multi-way transfer of information on physical-environmental processes (e.g., fisheries status) among policymakers, fishers, and consumers considered to be necessary to address this (Hirokawa and Thompson 2023).…”

With roughly 40% of the world's population living within 100 km of a coastline, the blue economy is going to be a positive or negative transformative force for many.…”

The blue economy purportedly involves equitable and sustainable development across a range of ocean sectors spanning fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, shipping, seabed mining, oil and gas extraction, and renewable energy. Here, we argue that blue economy scholarship and policy gives insufficient attention to coastal regions – and the cities, towns, and villages within – that depend on these sectors. Rather than prioritising the profitability of corporations and expansion of industry, we advise actors to consider three transformative processes that are (re)shaping coastal regions. First, are techno-industrial processes for which we draw on the fourth industrial revolution literature, highlighting that coastal regions must adapt to rapidly changing technological innovations or risk facing decline. Second, are socio-cultural processes for which we draw on the left-behind places literature, which exemplifies spatial inequalities from declining and deindustrialised coastal regions. Third, are physical-environmental processes, highlighting geographically variable opportunities and challenges around natural resources, marine biodiversity, and climate change in coastal regions. We then promote place-based policymaking as a multi-level and participatory mode of managing these transformations. Finally, we present a blue economy research agenda to help navigate these transformative processes, and enable place-based solutions. The article intersects with broader literatures around ocean governance and sustainable transformations.

In an era of globalization marked by rapid technological progress, sustainability has become a central issue governing many aspects of human life. Sustainability is no longer just an academic term but a guiding principle that guides action and innovation across all sectors. Continuous innovation plays an important role in responding to environmental, social and corporate challenges in operating responsibly. ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principles have emerged as a key framework inspiring continuous innovation, key to creating a more sustainable and responsible future. In the context of the port industry, Pelindo, one of the largest operators, is committed to various ESG initiatives to maintain sustainability in its operations. These measures include environmental, social and governance actions aimed at reducing environmental impact, improving the well-being of communities surrounding the port and strengthening corporate governance. Pelindo understands the importance of maintaining ecosystems and creating a positive impact. This effort, therefore, constitutes an important step towards a socially and environmentally responsible future. Close collaboration between government, business and communities is needed to promote sustainability in the port industry, considering sustainable logistics practices and low-carbon energy as solutions for a more sustainable future.
