Abstract

For more than 4 5 billion people, approximately 15% of their daily per capita intake of animal protein comes from marine products 5 Seafood provides a source of micronutrients and omega-3 fatty acids essential for good physical and mental health Studies over the past 10 years have demonstrated that spending time in highquality "blue" spaces (through leisure activities or living in a coastal environment) directly supports and enhances health and well-being, combatting obesity and mental health problems, particularly in deprived populations 6 This highlights an enormous potential for these well-being promotion initiatives and healthcare interventions to address both preexisting and emerging health issues beyond the lifetime of the pandemic There is now a tremendous opportunity and public momentum for health professionals to join with ocean researchers to help policymakers, the business community, and the wider public to address systemic global challenges in a new way (http://bit ly/2ZDFMS3) 7 We need international alliances, transdisciplinary collaborations, and global governance that support innovative, systemic ways of managing ocean resources ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The research was supported in part by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grants 774567 [H2020 SOPHIE Project] and 666773 [H2020 BlueHealth Project]);the UK Natural Environment Research Council and the UK Research and Innovation's Global Challenges Research Fund for the Blue Communities Project;the Blue Climate Initiative Health and Wellbeing Subgroup (https://www blueclimateinitiative org);the University of Girona;the City Council of Roses;the Catalan Fishmonger's Association;the Roses Fishers' Association;the Town Council of Tossa de Mar;and the government of Catalonia (the sponsors of the Roses Oceans and Human Health Chair)

128. Associations between green/blue spaces and mental health across 18 countries

Abstract

Living near, recreating in, and feeling psychologically connected to, the natural world are all associated with better mental health, but many exposure-related questions remain. Using data from an 18-country survey (n = 16,307) we explored associations between multiple measures of mental health (positive well-being, mental distress, depression/anxiety medication use) and: (a) exposures (residential/recreational visits) to different natural settings (green/inland-blue/coastal-blue spaces); and (b) nature connectedness, across season and country. People who lived in greener/coastal neighbourhoods reported higher positive well-being, but this association largely disappeared when recreational visits were controlled for. Frequency of recreational visits to green, inland-blue, and coastal-blue spaces in the last 4weeks were all positively associated with positive well-being and negatively associated with mental distress. Associations with green space visits were relatively consistent across seasons and countries but associations with blue space visits showed greater heterogeneity. Nature connectedness was also positively associated with positive well-being and negatively associated with mental distress and was, along with green space visits, associated with a lower likelihood of using medication for depression. By contrast inland-blue space visits were associated with a greater likelihood of using anxiety medication. Results highlight the benefits of multi-exposure, multi-response, multi-country studies in exploring complexity in nature-health associations.

137. The Blue Climate Initiative Healthy Blue Communities Network - Safeguarding Human Health & Well-Being Against Climate Change: An Ocean-Based, Community-Centered Proposal

Author

Landrigan, Philip, Depledge, Michael, Fleming, Lora E, and Stegeman, John

Subjects
well-being, health, ocean, climate
Abstract

This publication was commissioned by the Blue Climate Initiative (BCI), which accelerates ocean-related strategies, collaborating across a multidisciplinary global community towards a restored and healthy climate; an understood and protected ocean; and resilient, thriving, and equitable communities. In 2020, the BCI initiated a holistic process to identify transformational opportunities at the intersection of people, ocean, and planet, engaging over sixty world-class scientists and academics. These contributors compiled recommendations across six thematic areas: Health & Well-Being, Food & Nutrition, Marine Energy & Transportation, Mineral & Genetic Resources, Biodiversity & Nature-Based Solutions, and Sustainable Tourism. This publication is part of that series., A compendium synthesizing messages across the six Transformational Opportunities papers is available: Fries, L., Everett, J., and Davies, N. (eds.) 2021.

138. The value of blue-space recreation and perceived water quality across Europe: A contingent behaviour study

Abstract

This study estimates the value of recreational visits to blue-space sites across 14 EU Member States, representing 78% of the Union’s population. Across all countries surveyed, respondents made an average of 47 blue-space visits per person per year. Employing travel cost and contingent behaviour methods, the value of a visit is estimated at €41.32 which adds up to a recreational value of€631bn per year for the total adult population surveyed. Using the Bathing Water Directive’s water quality designation, the analysis shows that a one-level improvement in water quality leads to 3.13 more visits (+6.67%), whereas a one-level deterioration leads to 9.77 fewer annual visits (-20.83%). This study provides valuations of benefits of recreation and changes of recreational values due to changes in surface water quality, which can be compared to the implementation and monitoring costs of efforts under the EU’s Bathing Water, Water Framework and Marine Strategy Framework Directives.

147. Sensory impairment among older US workers

Abstract

We used 1997-2004 National Health Interview Survey data to evaluate the prevalence of sensory impairment among US workers 65 years and older. Hearing impairment prevalence was 3 times that of visual impairment (33.4% vs 10.2%), and 38% of older workers reported experiencing either impairment. Farm operators, mechanics, and motor vehicle operators had the highest prevalence of sensory impairment. Workplace screening and accommodations, including sensory protection devices for older workers, are warranted given the greater risk for injuries among the sensory impaired.

148. Cancer screening in US workers

Abstract

Regular cancer screening can prevent the development of some cancers and increase patient survival for other cancers. We evaluated the reported cancer screening prevalence among a nationally representative sample of all US workers with data from the 2000 and 2005 Cancer Screening Supplements of the National Health Interview Survey. Overall, workers with the lowest rates of health insurance coverage (in particular, Hispanic workers, agricultural workers, and construction workers) reported the lowest cancer screening. There was no significant improvement from 2000 to 2005. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2008. 135699)
