改变人类与海洋的关系被确定为联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年（2021-2030年）的十大挑战之一。海洋公民身份是减少人类对海洋的危害和促进海洋恢复的一种潜在政策方法，需要更好地了解海洋公民身份的激励因素及其相互作用。为了促进更全面的理解，我们使用跨学科的混合方法来处理这个问题，优先考虑积极的海洋公民的声音和经验。一个在线调查和半结构化的访谈进行了检查跨环境心理学（价值观，环境认同）和人文地理（地方依恋和依赖）的因素。我们的数据揭示了一种独特的海洋地方依恋，orthalassophilia，这是一种新的概念，人类有能力与人类住区或定义地点以外的地方建立联系。它是对海洋的感官体验的强烈情感反应以及对海洋地点认同的共同社会或文化理解的产物。加深海洋公民意识的一个关键驱动力是海洋地方依赖性，它受到刺激和非整合价值观、环境认同和嗜海性的积极影响。我们映射显着的激励因素，身份过程理论，并描述了一个新的海洋身份的概念。我们建议将其作为海洋公民行动的一个运作机制，有可能填补海洋环境行动方面的价值和知识-行动差距。这项研究通过在一项研究中共同分析跨越人类与海洋关系和经验的众多变量，为海洋公民身份研究提供了基石。嗜海性和海洋认同过程理论的确定和特征将使研究和实践能够向前推进，更明确地认识海洋作为环境行动场所的作用。
Changing humanity's relationship with the ocean is identified as one of ten key challenges in the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030). Marine citizenship is one potential policy approach for reducing anthropogenic harms to the ocean and promoting ocean recovery, and there is a need to better understand marine citizenship motivating factors and their interactions. To contribute to a more holistic understanding, we approached this problem using an interdisciplinary, mixed methodology, which prioritised the voices and experiences of active marine citizens. An online survey and semi-structured interviews were conducted to examine factors spanning environmental psychology (values, environmental identity) and human geography (place attachment and dependency). Our data uncovered a unique marine place attachment, orthalassophilia, which is a novel conceptualisation of the human capacity to bond with a type of place beyond human settlements or defined localities. It is the product of strong emotional responses to the sensorial experience of the ocean and shared social or cultural understanding of ocean place identifications. A key driver of deeper marine citizenship is marine place dependency, and it is positively influence bystimulationand non-conformityvalues, environmental identity, and thalassophilia. We map significant motivating factors to identity process theory and describe a novel marine identity concept. We propose this as an operational mechanism of marine citizenship action, potentially filling the value- and knowledge-action gaps in the context of marine environmental action. This research provides a cornerstone in marine citizenship research by analysing together in one study a multitude of variables, which cross human-ocean relationships and experiences. The identification and characterisation ofthalassophiliaand marine identity process theory will enable research and practice to move forwards with a clearer framework of the role of the ocean as a place in environmental action.
