“…Decision makers can use drones as an assessment tool to improve coastal management decisions (Provost et al , 2019; Lu and Chyi, 2020). UAV technology can also provide access to marine and coastal ecosystems in inaccessible coastal areas (Niculescu et al , 2017), provide early detection of marine ingress blooms (Mcilwaine, Casado and Waine, 2022), monitor erosion in areas of intense tourism activity (Chapapría et al , 2022; García-Romero et al , 2019) and observe the positive sedimentary budgets for beaches (Provost et al , 2019). UAVs may also be used to prevent uncontrolled or unplanned urban development in coastal areas (Bayram et al , 2017).…”

Purpose Drones have become an important element within hospitality and tourism. The purpose of this study is to identify the corpus of knowledge and create a research agenda that establishes appropriate guidelines for future study of drone application in hospitality and tourism. Design/methodology/approach This work has been undertaken using a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative research and includes a review of the literature related to the study of drone use in hospitality and tourism. Findings The mixed-methods review identified gaps in the research, potential areas of study to enhance the scientific literature and potential uses of drones in tourism and hospitality for researchers, consumers and industry professionals. Originality/value This study makes an original contribution by establishing an integrated framework, which led to a synthesis of the research corpus and provided a holistic conceptualisation of the relationship between tourism and drones. In addition, the research agenda proposed will help boost and consolidate this emerging field of research.

Jellyfish and gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) in general, fulfill important ecological roles with significant impacts, although they are often oversimplified or misunderstood. This paper reviews the impacts, pressures, monitoring methods and current management strategies for various GZ groups. It also introduces potentially applicable indicators for their assessment in ecosystem-based management approaches, such as the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This multi-faceted review is primarily envisioned to serve as a state-of-the-art document for scientists and policymakers to foster a holistic assessment and management of GZ across European regional seas. The systematic review on global impacts of GZ shows a notable increase in the number of studies since the early 2000s. Stings were the main cause of human health impacts. Mechanisms that impact biodiversity included direct predation, modification of trophic flows or competition for resources. Several GZ taxa may be beneficial to biodiversity acting as biological regulators and provide societal ecosystem services such as food provision or medical applications. The systematic review on monitoring techniques outlined a variety of methods, such as nets (the most common technique), continuous plankton recorder (CPR), polyp and jelly-fall monitoring, acoustic methods, remote aerial and underwater imaging, molecular methods, and citizen science. Furthermore, several currently employed management strategies were enumerated, including the use of anti-jelly nets, bubble curtains, chemical compounds, or the introduction of GZ predators. This study highlights the pressing need for enhanced GZ-dedicated monitoring, assessment, and anticipatory management of GZ populations to address future GZ crises more effectively and cost-efficiently. Moreover, exploring GZ ecosystem services unveils opportunities to harness marine resources while mitigating adverse effects, thereby supporting sustainable blue economies.
