Reviewing the ecological impacts of offshore wind farms

Ibon Galparsoro, Iratxe Menchaca, Joxe Mikel Garmendia et al. · 10 Aug 2022

Abstract Offshore wind energy is widely regarded as one of the most credible sources for increasing renewable energy production towards a resilient and decarbonised energy supply. However, current expectations for the expansion of energy production from offshore wind may lead to significant environmental impacts. Assessing ecological risks to marine ecosystems from electricity production from wind…

Social equity is key to sustainable ocean governance

Katherine M. Crosman, Edward H. Allison, Yoshitaka Ota et al. · 10 Aug 2022

Abstract Calls to address social equity in ocean governance are expanding. Yet ‘equity’ is seldom clearly defined. Here we present a framework to support contextually-informed assessment of equity in ocean governance. Guiding questions include: (1) Where and (2) Why is equity being examined? (3) Equity for or amongst Whom ? (4) What is being distributed?…

Engaging the tropical majority to make ocean governance and science more equitable and effective

Ana K. Spalding, Kirsten Grorud‐Colvert, Edward H. Allison et al. · 6 Jul 2023

How can ocean governance and science be made more equitable and effective? The majority of the world’s ocean-dependent people live in low to middle-income countries in the tropics (i.e., the ‘tropical majority’). Yet the ocean governance agenda is set largely on the basis of scientific knowledge, funding, and institutions from high-income nations in temperate zones.…

Digital twins: a stepping stone to achieve ocean sustainability?

Asaf Tzachor, Ofir Hendel, Catherine E. Richards · 9 Oct 2023

Abstract Digital twins, a nascent yet potent computer technology, can substantially advance sustainable ocean management by mitigating overfishing and habitat degradation, modeling, and preventing marine pollution and supporting climate adaptation by safely assessing marine geoengineering alternatives. Concomitantly, digital twins may facilitate multi-party marine spatial planning. However, the potential of this emerging technology for such purposes…

Restoration as a meaningful aid to ecological recovery of coral reefs

David J. Suggett, James R. Guest, Emma F. Camp et al. · 2 Apr 2024

Restoration supports the recovery of ecological attributes such as cover, complexity, and diversity to slow the areal decline of natural ecosystems. Restoration activity is intensifying worldwide to combat persistent stressors that are driving global declines to the extent and resilience of coral reefs. However, restoration is disputed as a meaningful aid to reef ecological recovery,…
