探討漁村社區發展與海洋永續之關聯－兼論海洋環境意識的影響

Abstract

This study explored the relationship between fishing community development in Taiwan and marine sustainability and further analyzed whether marine environmental awareness plays a key mediating effect between the development of fishing communities and marine sustainability. According to the empirical survey, findings showed that marine environmental awareness has a partial mediating effect with a total effect value of 79.2% and an indirect effect value of 35.1%, indicating that marine environmental awareness has a positive impact on marine sustainability. While the development of fishing communities has a significant impact on a sustainable ocean, marine environmental awareness also exhibits a partial mediating effect. Therefore, the methods for promoting the sustainable development of fishing communities and the ocean are related to strengthening the marine environment awareness of fishermen and taking root in friendly marine environment behaviors. Finally, government departments and fishing communities should also focus on how to be compatible with the existing policies, promote the harmonious development of fishing communities, and build resilient and sustainable coastal communities. By doing so, fishing communities may achieve a balance among social, economic, and ecological development.
