Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing utilization of multiple coastal and marine areas has coincided with a pronounced impact of climate change. Where food sustainability from natural harvest and culture has been given priority, it has been found that harmful algal blooms (HABs) can negatively affect human health and/or the local/national economy and, to some extent, the aquatic ecosystem.
How do HAB events impact the sustainability of natural and culture food systems in coastal and marine areas, particularly in the midst of a climate change crisis? What type of transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary research has been carried out, and management measures have been taken to address these food sustainability concerns and issues, notably those relating to HABs and climate change? What research could be carried out in the future, and what measures could be taken?
This Special Issue of Sustainability will consider contributions from HAB and climate change experts/scientists and managers to have an updated and focused discussion and sharing of knowledge and experience relating to aquatic food system sustainability.
