Summary: This study integrates resource-based and stakeholder theories to examine the generation and appropriation of values in a rights-based fishery. The authors argue that a firm's ability to create values in the fish harvesting industry depends on external stakeholders, such as society and government fisheries management. The empirical context is the Norwegian purse seine fleet, which has seen a gradual increase in value appropriation by vessel owners over the study period (1985-2016).

Summary: Atlantic tarpon (Megalops atlanticus) supports an economically important fishery, but there is limited information on their fishery and population. A survey of anglers and fishing guides was conducted to address data deficiencies and understand the status and threats to Atlantic tarpon. The survey revealed a decline in fishing quality since the 1970s, with water and habitat quality as major threats. These findings highlight the importance of ecological knowledge from recreational anglers and fishing guides for the conservation of Atlantic tarpon populations.

Summary: Fisheries monitoring is crucial for effective fisheries management, with a transition towards electronic logbooks (e-logbooks) for more timely and accurate data reporting. The study compared paper logbooks and e-logbooks, finding improvements in data quality and timeliness with e-logbooks, but also significant differences in reported data and user opinions. Challenges for future e-logbook implementation include legislation, fisherman literacy, cost, and transshipment regulations.

Summary: We developed a social-ecological model of the Kenai River Fishery through collaborative interviews with stakeholders using a participatory Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping process. Individual models were combined into an aggregated model that represents the system's structure and function. The model helps illustrate the interconnectedness of the fishery's social-ecological system, facilitates management discussions, and explores components that affect sustainability.

Summary: This study aimed to reduce catches of small scallops in the sGSL fishery by changing gear configurations to improve size selectivity. Results showed that increasing ring size was more effective than changing washer type in reducing catches of small scallops, with a significant impact on increasing yield-per-recruit. These findings will be useful for resource managers and stakeholders in stock assessments and future gear type decisions.

Summary: Marine fisheries worldwide are facing impacts from social and ecological changes, with Pacific Northwest fishermen experiencing changes in harvest portfolios over the past 35+ years. Different segments of fishing fleets have diverse livelihood strategies, with smaller and medium-sized boats increasingly targeting albacore opportunistically while larger vessels become more specialized. Alternative management and licensing approaches may be needed to sustain small-scale fishing operations globally.

Summary: The study of the trochus fishery in Samoa demonstrates that this relatively new fishery fosters resilience of social-ecological systems at the community level and improves the well-being of fishers. Most fishers are satisfied with income from the new fishery, especially the younger and less experienced ones. The additional earnings from the fishery are mainly spent on food, church tithing, and school fees.

Summary: Estuaries and coastal areas are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change and sea level rise. This research presents a salinity transport model for Biscayne Bay and investigates the potential impacts of altered precipitation, increased salinity/temperature, and sea level rise on bay salinity. The findings suggest that current restoration plans may not be sufficient to maintain current salinity conditions, and management measures such as urban greening, artificial groundwater recharge, and water consumption reduction should be considered.

Summary: The study shows that spatiotemporal simulation modeling is an effective tool for investigating management options in ecosystem-based fisheries management. It demonstrates that fisheries restricted areas can help rebuild the biomass of exploited stocks, but their effectiveness depends on the size and location of the areas. The study also suggests that a parallel reduction in total fishing effort is necessary to achieve the highest benefits of protection.

Summary: This study addresses the storage space allocation problem of container yards based on the dual-cycle operation mode. A mixed integer programming model is established to optimize container transportation distance. The results show that dual-cycle operation can decrease transportation distance and the space allocation method based on it is more effective than traditional methods. The study also provides management insights for container ports and suggests effective solutions for bottleneck problems.

Summary: This study aims to identify and explore the information requirements at different stages of the decision-making process of coastal nature-based solutions (NbS). The study found substantial differences in information requirements across the decision-making stages, with values and indicators becoming more specific and concrete as the stages progressed. The study also suggests that future changes in the information required for decision-making on coastal NbS can be anticipated and prepared for.
