Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a global phenomenon occurring in a range of aquatic environments, with the potential to have diverse environmental, social and economic impacts. There is growing interest in the human dimensions of HABs particularly as a result of the increased occurrence of HABs linked to anthropogenic activities. However, to date this has focused more on the economic and health implications of HABs events rather than broader human dimensions. This paper presents a series of research priorities that could strengthen social science research on HABs, highlighting topics related to public awareness and attitudes, community science, governance and co-development of solutions, links to the blue economy agenda, impacts on marine culture and heritage, and impacts on health and wellbeing. Finally, the paper presents a series of recommendations developing a transdisciplinary research agenda in order for the ongoing challenges of HABs to be addressed.
期刊介绍:
Ocean & Coastal Management is the leading international journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of ocean and coastal management from the global to local levels.
We publish rigorously peer-reviewed manuscripts from all disciplines, and inter-/trans-disciplinary and co-designed research, but all submissions must make clear the relevance to management and/or governance issues relevant to the sustainable development and conservation of oceans and coasts.
Comparative studies (from sub-national to trans-national cases, and other management / policy arenas) are encouraged, as are studies that critically assess current management practices and governance approaches. Submissions involving robust analysis, development of theory, and improvement of management practice are especially welcome.
