Human dimensions of conservation
We study how social, cultural and economic factors influence marine conservation and the effectiveness of protected areas.
Socioeconomic and sociocultural aspects of fisheries
We analyse the livelihoods, traditions and social dynamics shaping fishing communities and fisheries practices.
Marine governance and management systems
We examine policies, institutions and decision-making processes that govern and manage marine resources.
Ocean Literacy and socio-ecological values
We explore how knowledge, values and cultural connections with the ocean shape attitudes and behaviours toward marine environments.
Marine Political Ecology
We critically analyse power relations, resource access and environmental conflicts in marine and coastal contexts, bridging local struggles and global ocean politics.
Sustainable seafood systems and markets
We study seafood production, distribution and consumption to support more sustainable and responsible food systems.
Climate change, justice, and equity
We investigate the social impacts of climate change in marine and coastal systems, focusing on justice, vulnerability and adaptation.
Knowledge systems, coastal communities, and indigenous peoples
We examine diverse knowledge systems, including local and Indigenous knowledge, in shaping coastal and marine stewardship.
