Marine citizenship is a relatively new field of enquiry and research to date has focused on individual pro-environmental behaviour change as an expression of responsibility towards the ocean.

In this paper we develop an interdisciplinary and inclusive conceptualisation of marine citizenship.

- More and more species are being reintroduced into their natural habitats to help their populations and restore ecosystems.
- The study focuses on how humans can live alongside these species, especially after they've been brought back, and looks at conflict management between people and wildlife.
- The researchers analyzed feedback from a beaver reintroduction project in England and found important lessons in management, public involvement, and handling conflicts, introducing the idea of "Renewed Coexistence" to help improve future reintroduction efforts.
This paper examines strategies for improving recycling behaviour within the Cornwall National Health Service (NHS). Using quantitative (questionnaires and waste bin analyses) and qualitative (ethnography and interviews) methodologies, the study examined the waste management practices of staff from the Cornwall NHS. It was found that employee participation in waste recycling at work was low due to a range of factors including NHS focus and policies, group norms, and individual attitudes and beliefs about sustainable waste management.
