Fisheries governance in an inclusive and sustainable blue economy

预计到2030年，全球蓝色经济的价值将翻一番，达到3万亿美元。不同部门(水产养殖、沿海旅游、航运、采矿和近海可再生能源)的快速扩张可能取代或剥夺它们所依赖的“传统”海洋部门的海洋资源。特别是，(小规模)渔业“在地理、政治和经济空间上受到微妙和公开的挤压”，对治理进程(例如，信任、参与和遵守)和结果(生计、粮食安全和资源的可持续管理)具有重要影响。在英国，预计近海可再生能源和水产养殖领域将出现强劲增长，同时通过海洋保护区和高度保护的海洋区域等不断扩大的海洋空间养护和保护，所有这些都在加剧渔业和海洋治理内部的紧张局势。这项博士研究回应了英国渔业和海洋管理者和政策制定者希望重新建立与渔业利益相关者的关系，进而提高在政策制定和执行中的参与和合作水平，特别是作为自然恢复和净零强化的推动力。这项研究的目的是了解渔民和行业对英国蓝色经济中“空间挤压”和潜在流离失所的经验和反应，并确定在渔业和海洋治理方面建立信任和改善合作的机会。这项研究以四个目标为指导：1.创建现有倡议的证据地图，以记录渔业的空间挤压及其对英国社会、文化、经济和生态的影响。2.收集关于空间挤压的社会影响和日常经验的主要数据，包括其对多个层面的海洋治理进程的信任的影响。3.确定和分析调解冲突和建立信任的治理进程和利益攸关方战略。共同制定路线图，以重建和加强渔业和海洋治理方面的信任与合作

The blue economy is expected to double in value to USD 3 trillion by 2030, globally. Rapid expansion of diverse sectors (aquaculture, coastal tourism, shipping, mining and offshore renewables) can displace or dispossess 'traditional' maritime sectors of the ocean resources they depend upon. In particular, (small-scale) fisheries are "subtly and overtly squeezed for geographic, political and economic space" with important implications for governance processes (e.g., trust, participation and compliance) and outcomes (livelihoods, food security and sustainable management of resources). In the UK, there is strong growth predicted in offshore renewables and aquaculture sectors alongside expanding conservation and protection of marine space through, for example, Marine Conservation Zones and Highly Protected Marine Areas all of which is escalating tensions within fisheries and marine governance. This doctoral research responds to a desire by fisheries and marine managers and policy-makers in the UK to re-set relationships with fisheries stakeholders and, in turn, improve levels of engagement and collaboration in policy development and implementation, particularly as impetus on nature recovery and net zero strengthens.The aim of this research is to understand fishers' and industry experiences of and responses to 'spatial squeeze' and potential displacement within the UK's blue economy, and to identify opportunities for trust-building and improved collaboration in fisheries and marine governance. The research is guided by four objectives, to:1. Create an evidence map of existing initiatives to document spatial squeeze of fisheries and its social, cultural, economic and ecological impacts in the UK. 2. Collect primary data on the social impacts and everyday experiences of spatial squeeze, including its implications for trust in marine governance processes at multiple levels. 3. Identify and analyse the governance processes and stakeholder strategies which mediate conflict and build trust.4. Co-create a road-map to re-build and strengthen trust and collaboration in fisheries and marine governance
