Proceedings of the Third World Conference on Floating Solutions
This book includes peer-reviewed articles from the Third World Conference on Floating Solutions WCFS 2023 Japan with an aim to pioneer the SDGs and Next SDGs by making the most use of oceans and water. In recent years, the safety and security of people's lives around the world have been threatened by frequent floods and rising sea levels attributable to climate change. The COP 26 has set a common global goal of limiting the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. It is an urgent task to cope with climate change as well as to utilize decarbonized and renewable energy. The UN is promoting the SDGs which aim to achieve 17 Goals between 2015 and 2030. However, efforts to reach the Goals will not end in 2030 but will be an ongoing challenge for humanity beyond 2030. Here, we tentatively call the Goals to be achieved after the SDGs as "Next SDGs." Ocean and water have the potential to provide solutions to the disasters such as flooding and sea level rise due to climate change. In this context, WCFS 2023 presents ocean and water as the urban infrastructure and explores new technology and feasible solutions. In particular, it is necessary to consider urban planning, marine architecture, port planning connecting land and sea, disaster prevention, renewable energy, and food production on the sea and water. Further, it is indispensable that knowledge, experience, dream, and strong desire to realize these challenges are supported by a diversity of people.
Proceedings of the Fourth World Conference on Floating Solutions: WCFS 2024; 2–4 December; Hong Kong
This book highlights recent research and development in floating solutions for sustainable ocean development and blue economy. It covers the following key topics: Architecture; climate change and disaster; environmental enhancement; food security and food sustainability; innovation and technology; renewable energy; urban planning; policy, social acceptance and legal matters. This book is of interest to architectures, engineers, consultants, manufactures, government officials, researchers, academics, and postgraduate students related to floating solutions.
Differentiating and defining ‘exposed’ and ‘offshore’ aquaculture and implications for aquaculture operation, management, costs, and policy

Ocean based aquaculture has typically occurred in protected coastal environments, however the industry and been expanding into offshore locations over the past few decades. The term “offshore” has been used to broadly define any aquaculture facility that either is spatially far from shore, or exposed to high-energy environments even though these are different situations. In most cases, however, "offshore" is not used in its primary sense, namely the distance from the coastline. A definition for “offshore” in the context of aquaculture has not been clearly defined and continues to lead to ambiguity and confusion among industry participants, support industries, academics, and regulators. Recent advances in the sector, and a growing need to produce seafood from offshore environments, creates a necessity for research and analysis to define and characterize the environments currently described as “offshore” and create a framework for industry members to understand and describe ocean environments effectively. The research topic seeks to create a framework for describing aquaculture environments in the context of distance from shore and ocean energy, as well as explore how these two parameters impact aquaculture technology, operations, regulation, and economics. Submissions should add to the understanding of offshore or open ocean aquaculture farms specifically in the context of the environment in which they operate. A focus will be on creating definitions for the terms “offshore”, “open ocean”, and “high-energy” in the context of marine farming such that these terms can be used more effectively in the future.
