Navigating Ethical Place-Based Research in Transdisciplinary Marine Science (an...
Muhl, Ella-Kari; Renck, Vitor; Battaglia, Maria B.; Cruz, Lívia R.; Hill, Lowine S.; Lembi, Rafael; Malherbe, Willem; Prado, Deborah S.; Psiuk, KingaPlace-based research (PBR) allows for genuine engagement with the deep-rooted dynamics of complex social-ecological systems. Ideally, PBR centres reciprocal relationships with communities to co-produce research grounded in transdisciplinary, participatory, and solution-oriented approaches. Yet, for early career researchers (ECRs), the ethical, relational, and cultural dimensions of PBR can be difficult to navig...
How to Engage With, and Have Impact on, Marine Governance: A Practical Guide fo...
Karcher, Denis B.; Cvitanovic, Christopher; Austen, Melanie C.; Dunne, Aislinn F.; Evans, Louisa; Gruby, Rebecca; Malinconico, NicoleEarly-career researchers (ECRs) are at the forefront of producing the knowledge and solutions needed to address contemporary ocean challenges. Their work is often highly inter- and transdisciplinary, generating insights that are critical for informed decision-making, and effective and equitable marine governance. Yet, despite this potential for impact, many ECRs lack access to the tools, training, and instituti...
Understanding and Managing Imposter Phenomenon Within the Marine Sciences: Insi...
Cvitanovic, Christopher; Ainsworth, Tracy; Breckwoldt, Annette; Diedrich, Amy; Fabinyi, Michael; Lopes, Priscila; Norström, Albert; Partelow, StefanImposter phenomenon is widely felt in academia, yet its lived experience within marine science remains underexplored. To address this gap, in this commentary we draw on the collective reflections of a diverse group of interdisciplinary marine researchers who have (and continue to) experience imposter phenomenon. We examine how it emerges, how it affects our careers, and how we have learned to navigate it. Our e...
Research to Relevance: Reflections From Marine PhD Candidates Seeking Impact on...
Abrina, Tara; Gammage, Tom; Balu, Varsha V.; Barkan, Roy; Chandra, Rakesh; Dudayev, Rayhan; Moran, Megan N.Many Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) candidates in marine science are driven by a desire to create impact through their research in the form of meaningful, real-world change. However, the journey from “research to relevance” is often complex and uncertain, especially within inter and transdisciplinary contexts where traditional academic pathways and training may not provide adequate preparation or support. In this c...
Leaving No One Behind in the Green Transition and Blue Growth
Kyrönviita, Jonas; Hadjimichael, Maria; Ramirez‐Monsalve, PaulinaEngagement of local communities and policy coherence across different sectors are essential to ensure that no one is left behind in the green transition. Coastal communities face many challenges that are difficult to adapt to, including those associated with blue growth. In this article, outcomes from two Horizon Europe projects were used to explore barriers to applying the Leave No One Behind (LNOB) principle....
Student Reflections of TIDES: Training in InterDisciplinary and Ethnoecological...
Kaitapu, Matina; Bishwa, Devavrat; Aiglehoux-Bornet, Amandine; Brown, Kelly; Dehm, Jasha; Drova, Eseta; Koroi, Ulaiasi; Lovobalavu, VeronicaThe Training in InterDisciplinary and Ethnoecological Studies of Reef Passages (TIDES) summer school, held at The University of the South Pacific, Fiji, introduced early career researchers (ECRs) from diverse backgrounds to inter- and transdisciplinary research methodologies such as participatory mapping and talanoa (story sharing). Fourteen ECRs participated from three Pacific Island institutions, representing...
How To Do Things With Objects: Boundary Objects in Inter- and Transdisciplinary...
Dziomba, LeonieMarine research increasingly requires early career researchers to translate knowledge across disciplinary, institutional, and societal boundaries, often under conditions of asymmetrical power and limited training. In response, many early career researchers intuitively employ objects such as maps, models, concepts, diagrams, or tools to support participation and shared understanding, while opportunities to refle...
Beyond Discards: Blue Justice for Portuguese Artisanal Fishers
Alvarado, Felipe; Sá, Rui; Mesquita, MônicaThis critical ethnographic study examines the recent commercialization of discards in the artisanal fishing called Arte‑Xávega in Costa da Caparica, Portugal, through the lens of blue justice. Drawing on 129 semi‑structured interviews and participant observation over 83 field visits (2024–2025), the article traces the shifting trajectory of discards: from their historical use as agricultural fertilizer and form...
Evidencing Changed Practices in Co‐Creation of Just and Inclusive Coastal Trans...
Schjerlund Houbak, Konstantin; Becker Jacobsen, Rikke; Ounanian, Kristen; Sørensen, Janni; Ekstedt, Josefin; Dushkova, Diana; Antonova, Anna SThis article examines community-led interventions in six transition coastal labs through the lens of transition mechanisms. Coastal regions face entrenched governance structures that limit just and inclusive transformations, particularly where climate pressures, blue economy expansion, and fragmented governance intersect. Using a three-layered framework of recrafting, substituting, and disrupting practices, we ...
Empowering Communities on the Urban Coastline: Co‐Creation and Conservation in ...
Marinova, Gloriya; Antonova, Anna S.In a rapidly urbanized world, coastal cities are key arenas for the challenges encountered by coastal communities in the context of sustainable transformations. Among the landscapes most vulnerable to climate impacts and biodiversity loss, urbanized coastlines see heightened frictions between urban transformation, environmental (in)justice, and the unequal politics of coastal planning. Key habitats that could e...
