“…Similarly, previous research has shown that those who engaged in leisure activities near harbours (Strain et al, 2019) or surfingrelated activities (Romań et al, 2022) were more concerned about the harbour/beach environment respectively, than those who did not. The current results also support these findings suggesting that those who engaged in activities such as coastal walking (i.e.…”

“…through visiting more often, living by the coast, etc.) would be more exposed to the marine issues in question and therefore have different attitudes towards the marine issues than those who are less exposed (Gelcich et al, 2014;Strain et al, 2019;Romań et al, 2022). Consistent with this possibility, coastal visit frequency was positively associated with both concern over the health impacts of loss of marine species and support for research funding investigating the health and wellbeing impacts of marine species protection.…”

IntroductionMarine biodiversity loss has direct and indirect effects on human health and wellbeing. Recent European data suggest that the public is aware of this, identifying marine biodiversity protection as its top research priority in terms of oceans and human health, rated higher than issues such as plastic, chemical, and microbial pollution.MethodsThe current study aimed to better understand key sociodemographic and personality predictors of concern about marine biodiversity loss and the desire for more research into marine biodiversity protection, in an attempt to support communication efforts targeting specific sectors in society. Data were drawn from nationally representative samples of 14 European countries (n = 14,167).ResultsResults show greater concern about marine biodiversity loss and support for more research into marine biodiversity protection by older adults, females, and individuals: (i) without (vs. with) a university degree; (ii) with lower (vs. middle) incomes; (iii) who identified as politically left-wing; (iv) who visited the coast more often; and (v) those with more open, agreeable and conscientious personalities.DiscussionThese results suggest that, although concern and research support are generally high among European citizens, policy makers and communicators need to take into consideration individual-level variation.

“…Kari Hyytiainen (2022) adds that the cleanliness of the island's beaches is a critical element in attracting tourists (Hyytiainem et al, 2022). According to Cristina Roman (2022), organizers of island tourism must guarantee an integrated system between ecosystems and environmental cleanliness, including beaches, so that sustainability can be achieved (Cristina Román, 2022) (Román, Borja, Uyarra, & Pouso, 2022). Surveys conducted in the Netherlands confirm that when choosing beach tourism, tourists will prioritize clean tourist areas (Bettencourt, Freitas, Costa, & Caeiro, 2023).…”

The Covid 19 pandemic has significantly impacted the tourism industry, requiring areas such as the Siau Tagulandang Biaro Islands Regency to reevaluate their strategy. Identification of the key strategic initiatives is paramount to a successful tourism plan. Because these initiatives are often defined using vague and uncertain perceptions or gray areas, the Fuzzy-AHP methodology was identified and used to determine the value of each criterion and sub-criteria and establish strategic recommendations. The analysis results show that facilities are the highest criterion (34.4% AHP; 24.7% Fuzzy-AHP). The global weight calculation shows hygiene and health are priority elements (8.6% AHP; 8.2% Fuzzy-AHP). The sensitivity analysis shows that the results are robust, consistent, and stable. These results indicate no significant difference between the AHP and Fuzzy-AHP methods. The tourism development strategy for Siau Tagulandang Biaro regency must prioritize improving the cleanliness and health of tourist destinations.

“…This beach presents peculiarities in its sandy and bay morphology. A sandy beach can be regulated into an eco-tourism site using integrated environmental management that combines physical, biological, socio-cultural, and economic values (Román et al, 2022). An eco-tourism site that is developed using conventional mass tourism may harm the tourism destination (Mondino and Beery, 2019;Rybchenko et al, 2022).…”
