“…However, findings in Stolz et al [26] suggest that that adaptation views can be mediated by age, attachment to place, and worldviews. Stolz et al evaluated fishing industry perspectives on SLR exposure and adaptation in three Florida coastal communities.…”

“…As explained by a Tadgell et al study on informal settlements in less developed nations, "feelings of belonging, lifestyle, family connections, and culture -can tether populations to their land" (2018). These place-based connections are strong, especially in the cases of people whose livelihoods are marine-based (Stoltz et al 2021;Bragg et al 2021).…”

As the ocean warms, sea levels rise, and coastlines change, there is a growing interest in environmental justice on the coast. Here we conduct a systematic literature review on environmental justice and coastal hazards around the world. Our analysis reveals a focus on both long-term phenomena such as sea-level rise and extreme acute events like storms or hurricanes. We found that environmental justice literature about coastal hazards has increased in recent years with most papers focused on U.S. coastal areas. A majority of the papers described low-income communities and economic vulnerabilities, however, the solutions presented in the papers primarily focus on increasing researcher awareness of environmental justice and promoting increased engagement with marginalized communities. Additionally, a majority of the papers rely on mapping census data for their analysis rather than more qualitative methods. Overall, 76 percent of the papers reviewed determined that the most vulnerable populations are also the most at risk to coastal hazards, but there was a dearth of information on the historical causes of this phenomenon. Only 37 percent of the papers mention systems of historical or systemic oppression, such as segregation or redlining, that have led to marginalized populations experiencing greater levels of exposure. Finally, we suggest policy implications for addressing environmental injustices and recommendations for climate change and coastal hazards researchers writing about environmental justice.

“…These sensor systems are under continued development; for example, through the H2020 New Approach to Underwater Technologies for Innovative, Low-cost Ocean obServation (NAUTILOS) project (Pieri et al, 2021). There is an operational program which is a collaboration lead by Oregon State University (https://fishresearch.net/) measuring bottom dissolved oxygen from instruments deployed in crab traps (Stoltz et al, 2021). In January 2023, an Ocean Carbon & Biogeochemistry scoping workshop was held at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution focused on pH and other biogeochemical observation with fishers (https://www.us-ocb.org/coastal-bgc-obs-network-with-fishingcommunity/), in the context of which there was alignment between fishing industry and scientific stakeholders and a strong interest in expanding collaborative research capabilities.…”

Ocean observations are the foundation of our understanding of ocean processes. Improving these observations has critical implications for our ability to sustainably derive food from the ocean, predict extreme weather events that take a toll on human life, and produce the goods and services that are needed to meet the needs of a vast and growing population. While there have been great leaps forward in sustained operational monitoring of our oceans there are still key data gaps which result in sub-optimal ocean management and policy decisions. The global fishing industry represents a vast opportunity to create a paradigm shift in how ocean data are collected: the spatio-temporal extent of ocean data gaps overlaps significantly with fishers’ activities; fishing vessels are suitable platforms of opportunity to host communications and sensor equipment; and many fishing vessels effectively conduct a depth-profile through the water column in the course of normal fishing activities, representing a powerful subsurface data collection opportunity. Fishing vessel-collected ocean data can complement existing ocean observing networks by enabling the cost-effective collection of vast amounts of subsurface ocean information in data-sparse regions. There is an emerging global network of fishing vessels participating in collaborative efforts to collect oceanographic data accelerated by innovations in enabling technologies. While there are clear opportunities that arise from partnering with fishing vessels, there are also challenges ranging from geographic and cultural differences in fleets, fishing methods and practices, data processing and management for heterogeneous data, as well as long term engagement of the fishers. To advance fishing vessel-based ocean observation on a global scale, the Fishing Vessel Ocean Observing Network (FVON) aims to maximize data value, establish best practices around data collection and management, and facilitate observation uptake. FVON’s ultimate goals are to foster collaborative fishing vessel-based observations, democratize ocean observation, improve ocean predictions and forecasts, promote sustainable fishing, and power a data-driven blue economy.
