| Abstract |
In this editorial, we explore the urgent need of sustainable management and preservation of marine and coastal ecosystems, by combining the insights and contributions of five research articles, each addressing critical aspects of this complex challenge. From advocating sustainable ocean-based industries to exploring the economic valuation of ecosystems in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, these articles present a multifaceted approach. They underscore the need to integrate economic, environmental, and social considerations, highlighting innovative solutions, community engagement, and policymaking leveraged toward a sustainable future for our oceans. |
