Summary: Based on data from China's coastal areas, this paper constructs a model to study the relationship among marine environmental pollution, aquatic products trade, and marine fishery economy. The results show that marine environmental pollution and aquatic products trade have a certain inhibitory effect on the marine fishery economy, while the development of fishery economy and increase in aquatic products trade contribute to the improvement of marine environmental pollution.

Summary: Aquaculture is a rapidly growing sector with potential for food security and livelihoods, but it also poses environmental challenges such as pollution and competition for coastal space. Research is focusing on sustainable techniques to improve the industry's relationship with the environment and society. Adequate environmental monitoring, farm location selection, and waste reduction are crucial for ensuring the growth and sustainability of aquaculture production.

Summary: This study examines the impact of the fishery sector on blue carbon in 27 European nations from 1990 to 2022, and finds a significant positive correlation between fishing output and carbon sink decline. Developed countries have a greater beneficial effect on carbon sink deterioration than developing nations. Method of moments quantile regression method is used to accelerate the harm of fisheries to blue carbon storage.

Summary: This paper studies the impact of green merger and acquisition (GMA) on corporate environmental investment strategies. The results show that GMA promotes corporate environmental investment and encourages source reduction strategies, which are mediated by bank loans and positively moderated by retail investor attention and information transparency. This positive effect is only seen in enterprises facing low media pressure or high-intensity government regulation. Additionally, GMA can enhance green innovation through source reduction strategies. This paper provides new evidence on whether and how GMA promotes corporate green transition from a new perspective.

Summary: The marine environment is crucial for the survival and development of fishery resources. This study examines the development of the marine environment and the marine fishery economy in 11 coastal cities in China. The findings show an upward trend in marine-environment quality and marine-fishery-economy quality over time, but with spatial imbalances and low coordination levels. Various factors, including the strength of the marine fishery industry and the quality of the marine environment, influence the coordination between these two aspects.

Summary: This study analyzes the factors and strategies for establishing marine zoning in low-income tropical areas and highlights the importance and influence of political economy on the implementation and outcomes of marine spatial planning. The study found that marine zoning can be durable when institutionalized in national law and adopted by local coordinating bodies, but it remains an externally-driven agenda. The study suggests that participatory decision-making and power distribution should be explicit from the early stages of marine spatial planning implementation in tropical areas to address conflicts and trade-offs.

Summary: This study examines the environmental cost of FDI inflows in the Sub-Saharan African region from 2006 to 2020. The findings support the pollution haven hypothesis, indicating that FDI is positively associated with CO2 emissions in the region. The study also reveals that CO2 emissions have spillover effects on neighboring nations. Furthermore, GDP, population, urbanization, and renewable energy resources were found to be important factors influencing CO2 emissions. The insights from this study highlight the importance of adopting renewable energy sources and implementing regulatory measures to mitigate the negative consequences of FDI-induced CO2 emissions in the host and neighboring nations.

Summary: Hamilton (2016) demonstrates that sustainable development can be achieved along an exponentially decreasing path of extraction in an imperfect economy with extraction costs and substitutability among inputs. However, this approach may not be applicable to real economies as the prescribed investment may exceed output. Furthermore, the assessment of sustainability and accounting prices for real economies depends on technology specification and initial conditions.

Summary: This article analyzes the background knowledge of marine plastic pollution in Morocco and identifies fisheries, tourism, and maritime trade as the main sources of plastic entering Moroccan coastal waters. The study shows that the increasing abundance of plastics in marine systems causes significant economic losses to blue economy activities. However, the lack of data on plastic waste quantity limits the assessment of plastic pollution, highlighting the need for risk assessment and more field investigations.

Summary: The study found that the impact of environmental regulations on GTFP changes with the level of urban economic development. At low economic development levels, environmental regulation has a significant positive effect on GTFP, especially the SO2 removal rate. At medium economic development levels, the impact becomes negative, but at high levels, the SO2 removal rate still has a positive impact on GTFP.

Summary: This paper explores the correlation between the digital economy, quality of life (QoL), and carbon emissions. The results show that both the digital economy and QoL have an inverted U-shaped effect on carbon emissions. Developing the digital economy can improve QoL while mitigating the impact on carbon emissions, thus helping to reconcile potential conflicts.
