Working Group on Social Indicators (WGSOCIAL; outputs from 2023 meeting)
Himes-Cornell, Amber; Kraan, Marloes; Bjørkan, Maiken; Ballesteros, Marta; Carvallo, Marianna; Clay, Patricia; Fraga, Ana; Fuller, JessicaThe Working Group on Social Indicators seeks to improve the integration of social sciences in ICES Ecosystem Overviews and Integrated Ecosystem Assessments through the development of culturally relevant social indicators. To advance progress on this, WGSOCIAL has broadly discussed the context of the social di-mension of fishing. This has led to coordination with other working groups within ICES and outside ICES...
A global review of marine recreational spearfishing
Sbragaglia, Valerio; Arlinghaus, Robert; Blumstein, Daniel T.; Diogo, Hugo; Giglio, Vinicius J.; Gordoa, Ana; Januchowski-Hartley, Fraser AndrewRecreational spearfishing is a fishing method that occurs globally, yet receives considerably less attention in the scientific literature relative to other recreational fishing methods, such as angling. Lack of scientific information on spearfishing may negatively affect the development and management of marine recreational fisheries. We conducted a systematic review of 102 peer-reviewed papers published betwee...
Sowing potential transformative changes in the fishing and agrifood systems – c...
Moranta, Joan; Florido-del-Corral, David; López-López, Lucía; Gómez, Sílvia; Agujetas, Julio; Albo Puigserver, Marta; Brent, Zoe W.; Bathily, LamineThe need to better understand the trade-offs between food production, trade and consumption; social and environmental impacts of food systems and food health requirements remains a challenge. Additionally, there is an urgency to transform the food system to reach the dietary patterns required to address the current diet -environment-health trilemma. Transformative changes are required to deal with the food syst...
Evaluating the effectiveness of nature-based solutions to climate change adapta...
Halim, Firdaous; Fonseca, Catarina; O'Leary, Bethan C.; Villasante, SebastiánClimate change is generating a broad range of negative impacts worldwide, particularly on marine and coastal ecosystems (MCE) (IPCC-SROCC, 2019 and IPBES-IPCC, 2021). These impacts include coastal flooding and erosion, sea-level rise and storm surges. To adapt to these adverse effects and improve the well-being of coastal communities, engineered approaches have traditionally been used; however, there is growing...
Impacts of anthropogenic activities on cephalopods
Pierce, Graham; Abad, Esther; Allcock, Louise; Badouvas, Nicholas; Barrett, Christopher; González-Gómez, Roberto; Hendrickson, Lisa; Lefkaditou, EvgeniaIn past centuries, the impacts on cephalopods from humankind were negligible. The first documented small-scale exploitation of cephalopods occurred in the Mediterranean and Asia. Between 1950-2019, global cephalopod catches increased by about an order of magnitude, from 0.5 million tones to a peak of 4.85 million tons. The human impact on the oceans also increased substantially in this period. Human-induced cli...
Fisheries for common octopus in Europe: socioeconomic importance and management
Pita, Cristina; Roumbedakis, Katina; Fonseca, Teresa; Matos, Fábio L.; Pereira, João; Villasante, Sebastián; Pita, Pablo; Bellido, José MariaThe European Union (EU) is one of the most important markets for cephalopods in the world. Currently, small-scale fisheries targeting the common octopus in the EU are of considerable social and economic importance, especially in southern European waters where more octopus are consumed as part of the traditional diet. Octopuses in Europe are excluded from quota regulations under the Common Fisheries Policy and E...
Testing the hydroponic performance of the edible halophyte Halimione portulacoi...
Custódio, Marco; Villasante, Sebastián; Calado, Ricardo; Lillebø, Ana I.Sea purslane Halimione portulacoides (L.) Aellen is a candidate extractive species for coastal Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) to recycle the dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and phosphorus (DIP) wasted by excretive species. To test its suitability, saline aquaculture effluents were simulated in the laboratory using a hydroponics approach to cultivate the plants. Nutrient extraction efficiency, gr...

First assessment of the Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on global marine recre...
Pita, Pablo; Ainsworth, Gillian B.; Alba, Bernardino; Anderson, Antônio B.; Antelo, Manel; Alós, Josep; Artetxe, Iñaki; Baudrier, JérômeIn late 2019, an outbreak caused by a novel coronavirus started in China (Graham and Baric, 2020; Hu et al., 2020; Maxmen, 2021). A global pandemic was declared in March 2020, as COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus (World Health Organization, 2020b), escalated outside China (World Health Organization, 2020a). In mid-2021, when vaccination campaigns began to show positive effects on the control of th...
Valuation of Ecosystem Services to promote sustainable aquaculture practices
Custódio, Marco; Villasante, Sebastián; Calado, Ricardo; Lillebø, Ana IsabelConceptual frameworks to assess and valuate Ecosystem Services (ES) are rapidly becoming important tools for ecosystem-based management, as they support transdisciplinary approaches to ecological economics and expand current asset boundaries to include natural and social capital. An important area where such ES assessment frameworks could become relevant management tools is aquaculture. Aquaculture activities a...
