Untangling the network structure for marine litter monitoring governance.

Global marine litter monitoring initiatives present information and integration gaps that can be addressed through multi-sectoral collaboration. Social Network Analysis (SNA) helps identify stakeholder roles in accessing, sharing, bridging, and coordinating data for effective monitoring. This study established a theoretical basis and an analytical-operational approach for structuring effective networks for marine litter monitoring.

Envisioning ocean governability transformations through network-based marine spatial planning.

Unlabelled: The globally accelerating environmental crisis calls for radical changes in the governance of ocean resources towards a more sustainable and socially equitable world. Transdisciplinary sustainability research and networked knowledge-to-action approaches are critical parts of this change. The effective application of such approaches still puzzles social actors (individuals and networks) willing to act in more transformative ways.
