The Canary Islands conform the most populated ultra-peripheral region of the European Union with almost two million inhabitants, receiving more than 13 million tourists in 2019, in a pre-pandemic scenario. Therefore, the islands represent a very particular setting to explore the impact of the global pandemic in business in general, and also in gender diversity and the situation of women on corporate boards in particular. Firms from several industries were observed in detail, as retail, wholesale, construction, manufacturing, repair and sale of vehicles and accommodation. The study explores the setting just before the advent of the coronavirus to their lives in a region which is obviously highly fragile to these events. The study reveals huge gaps in gender equality, with women less present and with less executive power than men, particularly in companies with better results and from certain industries, which confirms previous stereotypes. Further research will be required by means of longitudinal studies.

Besides the great burden that has been placed on the world by the COVID-19 pandemic, radical climate change is causing natural disasters in every corner of the world. According to the IPCC’s most recent report, rising global temperatures already have very negative impacts beyond our expectation. The main cause of this lies in human activities that drive global population growth, ongoing urbanization, excessive use of natural resources, and so on. Every minute, the environment in islands and oceans is changing in different directions and angles. This forum is to have an in-depth discussion on how climate crisis including pandemic and climate change and sprawling development by humans etc., can affect cultures and ecosystem in islands and seascapes and which direction identity of islands will be heading in the future. For this matter, the theme of this forum is fixed as “Changes and Chaos in Islands and Seascapes”.

In the early stage of China, due to the mainland regime’s control over the Zhoushan Islands, the sea border of Zhoushan Islands was in the marginal position of the country. This marginal position was caused by objective reasons, namely “objective periphery”. The abandonment of the county-level administrative system of Zhoushan Islands in the Tang Dynasty due to Yuan Chao’s uprising in Wengshan was a subjective marginalization of the status of Zhoushan Islands in the sea, that is, “subjective periphery”. The subjective periphery is completely different from the objective periphery in nature. It reflects the consciousness of the rulers at that time on a more important level. The maritime policy towards Zhoushan Islands in the Song and Yuan Dynasties not only reflected the ruler’s consciousness and the positive attitude of active openness in policy, but also reflected the forefront status of Zhoushan Islands, which was the “active forefront” period of Zhoushan Islands. The maritime embargo policy and port closure policy in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are the manifestation of the rulers’ active periphery of Zhoushan Islands, but Zhoushan Islands is still the passive forefront of the national sea. The changes of the policies of the successive regimes towards the sea and forefront of Zhoushan Islands are not only the embodiment of the national consciousness at that time, but also the embodiment of the national destiny.

Plastics have proven useful in contemporary society. But accumulation of plastics in form of litter in the marine environment has become prevalent pollution affecting all of the worlds’ oceans. The Philippines being an archipelagic country heavily depends on the marine environment and the ecosystem services that it provides. However, it is also ranked as the third-largest producer of marine plastic pollution and the number one plastic riverine emitter. Tourism is an important economic activity for coastal populations throughout the Philippine archipelago. But there are limited studies that investigate plastic pollution in the tourism sector of the Philippines. This study assessed the macroplastic prevalence in the tourism environment of Barobo, Surigao del Sur. Plastic litters were sampled from four growing tourism sites (Cabgan Island, Turtle Island, Dapdap Beach, Panaraga Beach) of Barobo by establishing transect lines with quadrats. Results reveal that all four sites are contaminated with plastic litters. In terms of mainland and island beaches, beaches located on the island have thrice as many plastics with 0.41 items/m2, compared to 0.15 items/m2 on the mainland beaches. Plastic collected were predominantly food packaging, plastic bags, and fragments. Clean coast index calculations reveal that the tourist beaches of Barobo are moderately clean and clean beaches by international standards.
塑料在当代社会已被证明是有用的。但是，塑料在海洋环境中以垃圾的形式积累已经成为影响世界所有海洋的普遍污染。菲律宾作为一个群岛国家，在很大程度上依赖于其提供的海洋环境和生态系统服务。然而，它也被列为第三大海洋塑料污染生产国和第一大河流塑料排放国。旅游业是整个菲律宾群岛沿海人口的一项重要经济活动。但对菲律宾旅游业塑料污染的调查研究有限。本研究评估了Surigao del Sur Barobo旅游环境中的宏观塑料流行率。从巴罗博的四个旅游景点（Cabgan岛、Turtle岛、Dadap海滩、Panaraga海滩）通过建立带象限的样线对塑料垃圾进行采样。结果显示，所有四个地点都被塑料垃圾污染。就大陆和岛屿海滩而言，岛上海滩的塑料含量是大陆海滩的三倍，为0.41个/平方米，而大陆海滩为0.15个/平方公里。收集的塑料主要是食品包装、塑料袋和碎片。清洁海岸指数计算显示，巴罗博的旅游海滩按照国际标准属于中等清洁海滩。

Seafood tourism is recently gathering a growing attention as part of tourism practice and research. Fish production and consumption have also a significant role in food tourism management and marketing. This research note explores the role of fish in two fine dining restaurants located in the town of Cambrils, a coastal and marine destination in southern Catalonia. Results show the fish-based identity of both restaurants and reveal how fish-based menus communicate a sense of place which is focused on the knowledge of the territory and the seasonal component of fish-based products. Theoretical and practical implications, and further research opportunities, are described.

The southern coastal area in East Java is known for its biodiversity. There are protected areas stretching from the Blambangan peninsula in the east, with a rich flora and fauna critical for the karst ecosystem in the west in the Pacitan Regency. Visiting the natural area, including the coastal area with great biodiversity, will become the favorite tourism program. This paper has reviewed the recent status of biodiversity, recent and future tourism trends, the effects of tourism infrastructure development to wildlife, and recommendation for future wildlife tourism development in the southern coastal area of the East Java province. From the literature study, direct observation and interviews with local people, environmental activist, and local government, some important findings should be discussed. First, it is clear that the southern coastal area is an area with high biodiversity level and important for the development of future tourism. Second, tourism grows significantly and provides opportunities to support biodiversity conservation in coastal area. Third, it was a phenomenon where recent infrastructure development to trigger economic development and tourism led to potential threats to the future of biodiversity. Fourth, the sustainable wildlife tourism implementation in southern coastal area is crucial. The aspects related to the biodiversity conservation, local coastal dweller socio-cultural development, and local economy development are important to incorporate into sustainable tourism development strategy.

Mangrove forests are one of the world’s most threatened tropical ecosystems. The study aimed of assessing the composition and diversity of Mangrove species in Camotes Island, Philippines, as basis for its conservation and protection. A Belt in line transect method was used, with a minimum length of 1000m and maximum of 2000m along landward, middle, and seaward at an interval of 100m. Quadrat of 10 x 10m were established within the transect line at an interval of 250m. All the plant species within the quadrats were identified and measured. A total of 42 mangrove species were recorded in the island, representing 31 true mangrove species, and 11 mangrove associates. Two species were identified as Endangered Pemphis acidula J.R.Forst. & G.Forst and Camptostemon philippinense (S.Vidal) Becc, with a relative value of high species diversity (H’ = 3.0107). Camotes Island were dominated by the species of Sonneratia alba Sm, Avicennia marina (Forssk.) Vierh Avicennia rumphiana Hallier f, Rhizophora apiculata Blume, and Rhizophora stylosa Griff. Jaccard’s and Sorensen dissimilarity matrix prove that the mangrove species of Camotes Island were forming three cluster. Conservation effort and Information Education Campaign were needed by the Local Government Units, to protect the high mangrove species diversity of Camotes Island.

Anthropogenic activities have an impact on the coastal environment, even on small islands with little economic activity. This is evident in Manamoc Island, Cuyo, Palawan. Knowledge and understanding of these impacts will enable policymakers to formulate policies arresting the problem. This study focused on establishing shoreline trends using sand boundary as a proxy and determining specific physical or natural processes and anthropogenic activities affecting coastal conditions on Manamoc Island. Key informant interview (KII), beach profiling, longshore drift direction and velocity determination, and time series analysis of shoreline were carried out. Manamoc Island coastline retreated at an average of 38–64.5m from 1989 to 2016. These were attributed to the compounding effect of natural processes, hydrometeorological events, and anthropogenic activities. The anthropogenic activities led to the destruction of natural barriers e.g. sand, rocks, coral reefs, seagrass, mangroves, and other coastal vegetation resulting in coastal erosion. With impending threats of climate change and sea-level rise, locals should consider long-term relocation. Furthermore, intensive IEC campaigns on coastal resource protection and reframing the coastal resource management plans are imperative.

The Banggi region is home to coastal inhabitants that have a multitude of cultural beliefs and traditions, living a diaspora of marine biodiversity that is part of the Coral Triangle Region, thus rendering tremendous fisheries and eco-tourism potential. It is also a source region for Live Reef Fish (LRF) grown out in mariculture cages that contributes towards the multi-million dollar Asia Pacific commodity chain: the Live Reef Food Fish Trade (LRFFT). We attempt to provide a historical development of socio-demographics of the Banggi region along with an introduction to LRF cage initiatives and cultural beliefs regarding crocodiles to enhance understanding of the marginalized island communities and how they interact with the flourishing marine ecosystem around them. The Banggi region is a large portion of Tun Mustapha Park, a multiple use marine protected area (MPA) that falls under the jurisdiction of Sabah Parks.

The spatial accessibility serves as a lifeline that sustains the existence and survival of small island communities with limited resources. Yet, there is a lack of studies that focus on transport availability and characteristics as measures of small island spatial accessibility. A Small Island Spatial Accessibility Index (SISAI) was created to determine the spatial accessibility of San Vicente, Northern Samar, an archipelagic municipality consisting of seven small islands. The indicators used include distance (km), number of public vehicles available, one-day return trip (presence/absence), number of vehicles that travel per week, number of trips per week, total vehicle passenger capacity per week, and transport connectivity. The distance and transport characteristics are essential in measuring the small island's spatial accessibility. Environmental factors, e.g., extreme weather events, also affect the accessibility of small islands. Additionally, to understand further the accessibility situation in the island group, the accessibility problems of the islanders were determined using focus groups and surveys. A Spatial Accessibility Problem Confrontation Index (SAPCI) was developed, which showed that disruption of the spatial accessibility of the islands due to big waves, bad weather, unsafe conditions of the vehicles, and unfollowed schedules were the four main problems that concern households. Thus, the stacking of goods, the government's provision of a storage facility, and support of the business sector are critical in sustaining the needs of island communities, especially during calamities. Moreover, the study recommends the conduct of a transportation feasibility study to improve the spatial accessibility of the area.

Yet, there is a lack of studies that focus on transport availability and characteristics as measures of small island spatial accessibility. A Small Island Spatial Accessibility Index (SISAI) was created to determine the spatial accessibility of San Vicente, Northern Samar, an archipelagic municipality consisting of seven small islands. The indicators used include distance (km), number of public vehicles available, one-day return trip (presence/absence), number of vehicles that travel per week, number of trips per week, total vehicle passenger capacity per week, and transport connectivity. The distance and transport characteristics are essential in measuring the small island's spatial accessibility. Environmental factors, e.g., extreme weather events, also affect the accessibility of small islands. Additionally, to understand further the accessibility situation in the island group, the accessibility problems of the islanders were determined using focus groups and surveys. A Spatial Accessibility Problem Confrontation Index (SAPCI) was developed, which showed that disruption of the spatial accessibility of the islands due to big waves, bad weather, unsafe conditions of the vehicles, and unfollowed schedules were the four main problems that concern households. Thus, the stacking of goods, the government's provision of a storage facility, and support of the business sector are critical in sustaining the needs of island communities, especially during calamities. Moreover, the study recommends the conduct of a transportation feasibility study to improve the spatial accessibility of the area.","PeriodicalId":37975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine and Island Cultures","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41883773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
