Summary: This paper analyzes the institutionalization processes and role of co-management in artisanal mollusc fisheries in two protected areas in Brazil and Italy. It explores how these networks are organized, the relationships social actors have developed for a sustainable fishery, and the potential for influencing environmental crises. Fishers' participation in co-management can lead to institutional innovations and stability, while offering insights into the connection between artisanal fishery institutionalization, resource co-management, and value aggregation for traditional seafood. Artisanal mollusc fishery co-management experiences can help in diagnosing early climate and environmental changes in the oceans.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the vulnerability of five diverse SSF communities in northern Peru amid COVID-19 and identify key sensitivity indicators that influence their response. The results showed that communities with high social capital responded better to COVID-19 impacts, while those with low social capital had a passive response. Adaptive strategies of SSF included diversification of fishing activities, selling marine products at local markets, establishing agreements with authorities, and utilizing technology to enhance local seafood value chains.

Summary: Seafood alternative food networks (AFNs) support small-scale and place-based fishing operations by providing traceable, sustainable, and high-quality seafood products to consumers. Consumers show a willingness to try different seafood species and prioritize consumption end attributes such as taste, appearance, and affordability over production-related features. Younger consumers exhibit higher willingness to pay for premium quality products.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global systems and small-scale fisheries sector, leading actors to focus on local distribution channels and utilize flexibility, organization, and technology. Constraints included domestic movement restrictions, decreased consumer spending power, and lack of distribution channels, highlighting risks of over-relying on global networks and the importance of local connections and organizations for building resilience. Bolstering financial security in domestic markets is crucial for continued food supply during macroeconomic crises.

Summary: The study investigated the distribution and utilization of Mytella strigata in the Philippines, showing both positive and negative impacts on local communities. Traditional shellfish farming sites expressed negative perception towards the non-indigenous species, while local fishers in non-traditional shellfish farming sites generally welcomed the Asian green mussel.

Summary: This article compares the development of ten local food networks in Denmark to identify key factors affecting their resilience. The analysis reveals that networks relying on temporary public funding and marketing initiatives are less successful than those mobilizing private sector resources and engaging customers directly. The most resilient networks are those able to learn, adapt, and reduce dependence on short-term project funding. Failed networks have been replaced by more resilient organizations at a regional scale.

Summary: Small-scale fisheries in Italy, which account for a significant portion of the fishing fleet, are facing a crisis due to reduced catches and incomes. The lack of socio-economic data hinders effective resource management and the improvement of fishers' livelihoods. A survey of small-scale fishery fleets in southern Italy reveals that fishers receive the least economic benefits, while wholesalers and fish shops make the highest profits. This paper discusses potential market solutions, such as direct sale or transformation of low-value fish, to address the threats to fisher livelihoods.

Summary: Fishers in Georgia face numerous obstacles in direct marketing of seafood, particularly in terms of labor investment on shore and on the water, as well as the financial and social risks involved in selling seafood outside of existing economic arrangements with docks. This relationship mirrors underexplored patron-client relationships in Southeast Asian fisheries.

Summary: New coexistence scenarios have emerged for fishermen in the Santos Estuarine System region, as a result of port and industrial activities and other human factors. This study aimed to develop a methodological framework to assess the resilience of small-scale fisheries based on local knowledge. The results showed a decrease in overall resilience and ecological attributes, while social resilience attributes remained relatively stable.

Summary: The resilience of food systems is crucial for ensuring food security, and the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed varying levels of resilience in interconnected food systems worldwide. Local food production and sharing contribute to resilience, while imported foods can either aid or inhibit it. Countries reliant on food imports are more likely to experience food insecurity, but imported foods become critical in areas dealing with concurrent disasters. Policies should focus on bolstering sustainable local food production, reducing reliance on imports, and implementing measures to support food security after disasters.

Summary: Target-based governance is widely supported in scientific literature, but there is uneven attention across different targets, with a focus mainly on the protected areas target. The uneven scientific action associated with ABTs arises from the interplay between easily measurable target elements and long-standing institutional commitments.

Summary: Through interviews, it was found that food fishers derive various values and benefits from fishing at public structures, including recreation, nutrition, social community, and mental health. The study also showed that these benefits were negatively impacted after Hurricane Florence. Additionally, an informal economy of sharing catch was found to extend the reach of benefits facilitated by public infrastructure to people beyond direct users.

Summary: Efforts to expand marine aquaculture are often seen as an opportunity for economic growth, but the current discourse overlooks the complex nature of its positive impacts. Shifting the focus to community wellbeing is necessary to realize the potential benefits of marine aquaculture expansion, and reorienting Blue Economy to prioritize Blue Communities can help foreground social, cultural, and environmental factors alongside economic growth. With just and equitable governance embedded in place, marine aquaculture can enhance wellbeing in Blue Communities while also supporting broader economic development.
