<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">While oceans and seas have long-been examined as spaces of historical, scientific and economic significance, there has been a growing socio-cultural interest in
<i>bluespace</i> across a wide range of (inter)disciplinary areas. The term, bluespace, is commonly used to refer to ocean and fresh-water spaces (e.g. rivers and lakes), in contrast to green spaces which can be described as terrestrial spaces mostly covered
in vegetation including parks, fields and forest. Reflecting long-standing traditions of the seaside and coastlines as lifestyle and leisure destinations (e.g. thalassotherapy), bluespaces are promoted as beneficial for health and wellbeing (e.g. Bell, Phoenix
& Wheeler, 2015), and it is to this oceanic focus that this Special Issue seeks to contribute.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">When it comes to ‘sports’, which we conceptualise, loosely to include physical culture and leisure, interest in oceanic bluespaces has emerged through diverse recreational, commercial and governance
practices, including (but certainly not limited to) fishing, surf sports, sailing, ocean and wild swimming, beach-combing, surf rescues, tourism, and diving (Anderson & Peters, 2016; Brown & Humberstone, 2015; Steinberg and Peters, 2015). Significantly, a
growing number of projects explore experiences of physical activities and cultures in oceans not only through Western notions of health, but through diverse cultural ways of knowing and being (Burdsey, 2016; Ingersoll, 2016; Wheaton, 2013). This research has
challenged notions of oceans as ‘placeless’, highlighting that how we experience, access and manage bluespaces is no less specific to place than urban or green spaces, and is linked to, and embedded in history, community and identity.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">In this Special Issue, we seek to explore the role of sport, physical activities and leisure in understanding oceanic bluespaces as fluid and yet emplaced in local/global politics, and playing
a key role in how we understand, experience, access, and develop relationships to the sea and ocean, as well as to self, others and communities – human and more-than-human. To do so, we aim to bring together a conversation across multiple disciplinary areas
of work on bluespaces, which may span local, national and trans-national contexts, and are manifest across diverse recreational and commercial practices. The policy and practical applications of blue space range from environmental politics, planning and community
development to public health and leisure/recreation management; we encourage papers that interrogate such applications, including the cultural politics and policy implications of access to, or exclusion from bluespaces.
