Journal of Coastal Zone Management AbstractManaging urban development in coastal zones is important not only for the ecological quality of such zones, and also for sustainable coastal tourism. International and national principles of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) need to interact with variable local realities if ICZM is to succeed. After briefly discussing how international experience informed national ICZM policy in South Africa, a case study is used to illustrate the need for local adaptability and implementation. The case study is of one local Conservancy's efforts to ensure estuarine quality and harmonious integration of urban development within natural coastal vegetation, where financial and other constraints otherwise determined an unfortunate reliance upon septic tank sewerage. The case illustrates the importance of drawing upon local voluntary efforts to adapt and implement national and international policies.

“…In addition, BE favors environmental sustainability since it uses renewable energy. The growth of the coastal BE can be linked to the government of Taiwan [20,116,141], which proposes a growth program for the coastal BE at the national level to promote ocean-related industries based on sustainable development by integrating different theoretical frameworks, methodological approaches, modeling and management of ecosystem frameworks. In general, farming the sea is based on artificial technologies and it is argued that by developing marine fish farming, it is possible to contribute to the transformation of capture fisheries by integrating the concept of BE [24].…”

Background The Blue Economy is a recent field of study that encompasses economic activities that depend on the sea, often associated with other economic sectors, including tourism, maritime transport, energy and fishing. Blue growth supports the sustainable growth of the maritime and marine sectors as the oceans and seas are engines of the global economy and have great potential for growth and innovation. This article undertakes a bibliometric analysis in the terms of Blue Economy (BE), Maritime Economy (MAE), Ocean Economy (OE), Marine Economy (ME), and Blue Growth (BG) to analyze the scientific production of this field of study. Analysis of the authors’ definitions of BE, BG, ME and OE provides interesting relationships divided into sustainability and governance; economics and ecosystem protection; industrial development and localization; and the growth of the ocean economy, with development as the central axis that encompasses them. The main contribution is to find out if there is a link between the BE and the CE through the keyword study. Results The results show a significant increase in articles and citations over the last decade. The articles address the importance of different sectors of BE and the interest of governments in promoting it for the development of their national economies. Using bibliometric mapping tools (VOSviewer), it is possible to find possible links between concepts such as CE and BE through the BG and to visualize trending topics for future research. Nascent and future research trends include terms such as small-scale fisheries, aquatic species, biofuel, growth of the coastal BE, internationalization and blue degrowth (BD), the latter approaches aspects of BG from a critical perspective. Conclusions In conclusion, it highlights the need for alliances between the sectors that compose BG with the incorporation of the CE in order to achieve a sustainable BE in both developed and developing countries. Through the keyword analysis it is shown that the BG strategy is the bridge between the BE and the CE. The CE presents itself as a promising alternative that could mitigate tensions between stakeholders who support both growth and degrowth positions.

“…With ocean development and utilization, the proportion of national economic systems and national interests is increasing, and countries have realized the importance of marine resources and national interests. Coastal states have begun rapid ocean development, resulting in the gradual deterioration and damage of the marine and ecological environment (Shih, 2010;Yu D. et al, 2022), and polluted environments have gradually expanded with the development of regions. The development of marine industries, marine pollution, coastal development, and coastal activities are all factors that degrade the marine environment and cause biodiversity loss and a decline in biological resources; at the same time, they directly or indirectly cause many ecological and environmental problems (…”

“…To maintain a good marine environment and its resources, it is necessary to integrate marine management and ocean governance as support; comprehensive ocean governance is the foundation of marine sustainability, and it involves environmental monitoring programs or environmental indicators as criteria for environmental assessment (Shih, 2010). The twenty-first century revolves around oceans (Xu and Chang, 2017;Shih, 2020).…”

Taiwan establishes Ocean Affairs Council (OAC) in 2018. Ocean governance has reached a new milestone. In 2019, the Ocean Basic Act was enacted. In 2020, the National Ocean Policy White Paper was published, meaning that Taiwan has specialized ocean authorities, regulations, enforcement units, and relevant mechanisms and policies. The Ocean Conservation Administration (OCA) is also responsible for marine environmental protection and conservation. To ensure good ocean governance, maintain marine resources, and protect the environment, the OCA has recently drafted the Marine Conservation Act for sustainable development. This article mainly reviews, analyzes, and compares Taiwan’s current marine-related laws and regulations and refers to the laws, policies, and mechanisms of other countries to provide suggestions on marine governance and the ongoing draft of the Marine Conservation Act.
