“…The dataset includes artworks that target diverse audiences. There are performances such as the 'Beach-dancing Day' in Wales, performed by Susanna Recchia (Olsen, 2018) that target smaller audiences, present at the time and place where they take place; while others, such as animated stories in an online map-based platform (Brennan, 2018), still currently accessible, that reaches larger audiences. Among the art viewers or participants of art projects, there are children (e.g., Matias et al, 2020), teenagers (e.g., Sanchez et al, 2020), young adults in education (e.g., Jacobson et al, 2016) or not (e.g., Trott et al, 2020), local communities (e.g., van der Vaart et al, 2018 and residents (e.g., Liburd and Derkzen, 2009), community representatives (e.g., Strand et al 2022), scientists (Paterson et al, 2020), and occasional pedestrians passing public art (e.g., Aragón et al, 2019).…”

Sustainability is a universal goal that requires balancing social, economic and environmental dimensions, and that applies to both terrestrial and marine environments. Several authors argue that arts are valuable tools to frame and engage with current environmental issues related to sustainability, including pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. Accordingly, our research question is: what is the role of art in the sustainability of coasts and seas? We searched our research question on the two most important scientific databases of articles (Scopus and Web of Science) and retrieved 1352 articles. We narrowed the articles to 79 studies that actually address our question through screening. The dataset describes a variety of artworks from the four art categories (Literary, Media, Performing, and Visual) around the world, although the more frequent countries are the US, the UK, and Australia. We found that Visual Arts are more common (~40%), and engagement is a highlighted pursued impact (~40%) by these artistic practices. Other authors also intend to promote marine conservation and restoration, management, education, and activism. Only 19 articles of the dataset measured the impact of artistic activities on their audience. This subset shows evidence of art contributions to sustainability mainly through raising awareness, learning, and promoting engagement and enjoyment of project participants. Through this work, we set the current state of knowledge on this emerging topic, and argue that further research and new strategies of impact measurement are needed to thoroughly understand the effect of art on coastal/marine sustainability.

Marine and coastal science communication plays a major role in fostering community resilience and motivating collective actions for ocean sustainability, especially within initiatives such as the Ocean Decade and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Despite growing interest and communication efforts, challenges for scientists remain. This chapter aims to present a portfolio of communication activities and critically reflect on their advantages and disadvantages. It outlines 10 Portuguese communication cases, covering beach/dune and salt marsh dynamics, research methods, aquaculture, environmental sustainability, climate change impacts, and pollution. An integrated analysis evaluates key messages, required resources, and target audiences, including a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis and comparisons of budget, team size, and audience reach. Despite being limited to 10 specific case studies, the chapter offers a broad spectrum of communication activities, providing insights and a catalogue for marine and coastal science communication.
