Research
Green tourism integrated framework for the management of fisheries within the context of the blue economy
Green Tourism
Marine Biology/Marine Science
Research into the ecological aspects of fisheries management, including the impacts of tourism on marine ecosystems, sustainable fishing practices, and marine conservation.
Environmental Economics
Environmental economists can assess the economic value of fisheries and tourism activities, conduct cost-benefit analyses of management interventions, and explore incentive mechanisms for promoting sustainable practices in both sectors.
Coastal Management and Marine Spatial Planning
Coastal management and marine spatial planning can provide guidance on spatially optimizing fisheries and tourism activities, resolving conflicts between different users, and safeguarding marine habitats and biodiversity.
Fisheries Management and Policy
Research into fisheries management and policy can offer expertise in designing and implementing regulations, management strategies, and governance frameworks to ensure the sustainable use of marine resources within the context of the blue economy.
Tourism Management and Sustainable Tourism
Insights into destination management, tourist behavior, community engagement, and the integration of sustainability principles into tourism development strategies.
Social Sciences and Community Development
Social sciences and community development can explore the social dimensions of fisheries management and tourism development, including stakeholder participation, livelihoods, cultural considerations, and social equity.
Functional Data and Science
Data Collection and Integration
Integration of functional data from various sources enables a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem dynamics, tourism trends, and socio-economic factors influencing fisheries management.
Spatial and Temporal Analysis
Spatial-temporal modeling techniques help identify hotspots of biodiversity, assess the impact of tourism activities on marine ecosystems, and predict the spread of invasive species or pollutants.
Risk Assessment and Resilience Analysis
Resilience analysis based on functional data science helps identify thresholds, tipping points, and feedback mechanisms that influence the resilience of marine ecosystems and socio-ecological systems to external stressors.
Data Analysis and Modeling
Functional modeling approaches facilitate the development of predictive models for forecasting tourism demand, assessing environmental impacts, or optimizing resource allocation in fisheries management.
​Decision Support Systems (DSS)
Functional data-driven DSS provide stakeholders with real-time insights into environmental conditions, fisheries stocks, and tourism trends, supporting adaptive management and decision-making processes.
Community Engagement and Stakeholder Participation
Functional data visualization techniques, such as interactive dashboards or geospatial mapping, enhance communication and engagement with stakeholders by presenting complex information in a user-friendly format.
