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、采矿和海上可再生能源）的迅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而公开的挤压”，这对治理过程（如信任、参与和合规）和结果（生计、粮食安全和资源的可持续管理）产生了重要影响。在英国，海上可再生能源和水产养殖部门预计将出现强劲增长，同时通过海洋保护区和高度保护海洋区域等方式扩大海洋空间的养护和保护，所有这些都加剧了渔业和海洋治理内部的紧张局势。这项博士研究响应了英国渔业和海洋管理者和政策制定者的愿望，即重新建立与渔业利益相关者的关系，从而提高政策制定和实施中的参与和合作水平，特别是在自然恢复和净零的动力加强的情况下。本研究的目的是了解英国蓝色经济中渔民和行业对“空间挤压”和潜在位移的经验和反应，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。本研究以四个目标为指导：1。创建一个现有倡议的证据地图，以记录渔业的空间挤压及其在英国的社会，文化，经济和生态影响。2. 收集关于空间挤压的社会影响和日常经验的原始数据，包括其对多级海洋治理过程信任的影响。3. 识别和分析调解冲突和建立信任的治理过程和利益相关者策略。共同制定路线图，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
