“…Although the climate change concerns and considerations that were brought forward by fish harvesters from Canada's Pacific region cannot be generalized, the importance of bringing an environmental justice lens to climate adaptation planning across ocean sectors is applicable broadly (Bennett et al 2023). The findings of this study reinforce the need to collect and analyze human dimensions data to better understand the social, cultural, and economic context of fisheries systems (Whitney et al 2017, Bennett et al 2021b, Szymkowiak 2021. Improved availability, understanding, and integration of socioeconomic data on fisher livelihoods, the distribution of benefits, and well-being indicators is a tangible and necessary step toward mainstreaming equity considerations into fisheries management (Foley et al 2020).…”

“…In the context of the European blue economy, the challenge of finding new indicators beyond the growth paradigm (D'Alisa et al 2015, Jackson 2017, Hadjimichael 2018, Stiglitz et al 2018, Ertör and Hadjimichael 2020, Bennett et al 2021) is explicit in the new EU sustainable blue economy strategy "Transforming the EU's Blue Economy for a Sustainable Future" (European Commission 2021), which states, "We need to shift the focus from "blue growth" to a sustainable blue economy." If this is the case, what are then the new indicators to be used?…”

In this paper, we employ a "doughnut" economic approach to comprehensively assess the state of the purse-seiners fisheries sector in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. The analysis identifies several instances of ecological overshooting and shortages in basic social needs, indicating that the current situation is, in many respects, far from being in a secure, ecologically safe, and socially just space. It demonstrates that the necessary transition to achieve a sustainable sector is not solely a technical or financial issue; it also requires sufficient social capabilities to lead and manage the process, taking into consideration the social context in which it would occur. Our assessment indicates the need for urgent action and an overarching transition plan that includes an ecosystem-based fishery management plan, including commercial and social plans. The study showcases that this approach is useful in providing valuable information to support the transition of fisheries toward sustainability. Moreover, utilizing this non-fisheries-specific framework can facilitate the participation of fisheries expertise in broader discussions about the socioeconomic and ecological changes needed to achieve a post-growth-oriented blue economy.

“…The main segment of catch-share implementation is the fishing quota allocation. As mentioned earlier, the aspects of socioeconomics cannot be ignored in the sustainable development framework (Bennett et al, 2021). This study brings socioeconomic factors and historical catches into these frameworks, constructs the allocation scheme of a catch-share program, improves the rationality and fairness of the initial allocation, and ensures a better balance between socioeconomic benefits and the sustainability of fishery resources.…”

A Proposed Scheme of Fishing Quota Allocation to Ensure the Sustainable Development of China’s Marine Capture Fisheries

The sustainable development of marine capture fisheries (MCFs) plays a significant role in food security, economic development, and employment stability. The lack of information on the sustainability of MCFs, along with the inadequate management of fisheries output controls, has weakened China’s efforts towards a national catch limit target of no more than 10 million tons from capture fisheries until 2020. Furthermore, overfishing and fishery conflicts still exist. In order to try and resolve the above problems and achieve the sustainable use of fishery resources, an evaluation of the development status of these fisheries based on the coupling coordination model has been undertaken. The results show that the social, economic, and biological systems of MCFs in coastal areas of China interact with each other while their development is not coordinated, and regional differences exist. This study integrates the socioeconomic indicators using the catch-share program as a breakthrough methodology to resolve inconsistencies. The results under different allocation schemes suggest that the multifactor scheme is more equitable than the single-factor scheme, which enhances the fairness of the initial distribution.
