“…In accordance with the biological needs of the species targeted by rapido trawlers, the allocation of fishing opportunities during the year based on efficiency and market trends can be a first step in this direction. Recently developed initiatives and studies aimed at assessing the socio-economic impacts of management interventions in the Mediterranean Sea (Prellezo and Villasante, 2023) and strengthening fishers' participation in decision-making processes (Malvarosa et al, 2023) indicate the potential for broad stakeholder engagement and increased involvement of the fishing industry.…”

The fishing sector in the Adriatic Sea is exposed to stricter regulations due to the negative ecological impact of large-scale fisheries, while increasing socio-economic challenges threaten the profitability of the industry. We apply Stochastic frontier and Price formation analysis to the rapido fishery of Chioggia (Italy) in order to investigate potential strategies to enhance the economic performance of the fishery, considering both effort restrictions and market trends. The use of two different methodological approaches emphasizes the need for a comprehensive and flexible approach to fisheries management, taking into account seasonal fluctuations in efficiency and average prices. The results reveal that efficiency variations are significantly influenced by seasonal factors and stock availability, thus indicating a limited capacity of fishers to adapt to changing market conditions. We emphasize the importance of flexible scheduling of fishing days and discuss the opportunity for implementing mixed management systems incorporating a Total Allowable Catch or quotas.

“…The inclusion of some industries (e.g. developed nations with distant water fishing fleets) in the ETs scheme may imply that, in order to avoid negative externalities, they end up exporting fishing capacity to the global South (Prellezo and Villasante, 2023). Jobs, industries and entire communities may be lost from the stricter jurisdiction while global emissions remain unchanged (at best).…”

Abstract. Biophysical tipping points pose existential threats to current and future generations, both human and non-human, with those currently underserved being the most vulnerable. Social tipping points, as deliberate interventions into systems with the expectation of non-linear impacts and widespread change, have the potential to address some of these challenges. However, the imperative to act cannot increase risks nor perpetuate unjust or inequitable outcomes through the creation of sacrifice zones. In this paper we argue that considerations of what needs to change, who is being asked to change and where the change or its impacts will be felt and by whom, are fundamental questions that require a level of reflexivity and systemic understanding in decision-making. All actors have a role to play in ensuring that justice, equity and ethics are incorporated in each and every intervention. Enabling social tipping points towards radical transformations could benefit from more diverse perspectives to open up the solution space, with a particular emphasis on the inclusion of marginalised voices. We conclude that taking a cautious step back to explore all options, not just those that seem to offer a quick fix could offer a more substantial route into thinking through tipping points and create a more equitable as well as sustainable future.
