By combining Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) with nutrient-density analysis, the authors demonstrate how differences in fishing operations influence both environmental impacts and nutritional value. The findings highlight the importance of nutritional normalization in seafood sustainability assessments and identify fuel efficiency, durable fishing gear, and bait traceability as pathways toward more sustainable small-scale fisheries.

🚀 Volume 18, Issue 19 (October-1 2026) is now online!

However, people who engage in these activities near traffic are also exposed to air pollution, creating a public health paradox. Based on a survey of active transit users, this study explores how individuals perceive and respond to air quality risks. The findings suggest that while users are aware of these risks and make some behavioral adjustments, air quality is generally not a major factor in their transportation choices. #MDPI #NewIssue #Sustainability #OpenAccess #SustainabilityMDPI
