One Health in Coastal and Marine Contexts: A Critical Bibliometric Analysis across Environmental, Animal, and Human Health Dimensions
AI summary Read the abstract
This bibliometric analysis examined how the One Health framework has been applied to coastal and marine ecosystems, mapping intersections between human, animal, and environmental health research. It identified microplastics, aquaculture contaminants, and zoonotic pathogens as key topics and found that integrated coastal health research remains fragmented.
This research project investigates how the One Health (OH) framework, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health, has been applied to coastal and marine ecosystems. Coastal zones sustain critical biodiversity, food resources, and livelihoods, yet they face growing pressures from climate change, pollution, urbanization, and intensive aquaculture. These stressors not only undermine ecosystem integrity but also amplify public health risks, making coastal regions a prime arena for OH-based approaches. The primary goal of this project is to systematically analyze and map the development of OH research in coastal and marine contexts. By conducting the first bibliometric review of this kind, the study aims to: 1. Trace the evolution of OH scholarship from 2003 to 2025, identifying trends in publication output, research priorities, and scientific influence. 2. Uncover thematic domains and gaps, including underexplored issues such as climate–health linkages, microplastics, and integrated ecological-health indicators. 3. Highlight geographic imbalances in research, particularly the dominance of high-income countries versus limited contributions from vulnerable low- and middle-income coastal regions. 4. Examine collaboration patterns and disciplinary divides between biomedical and ecological research, revealing opportunities for more integrated OH applications.

The ocean and microplastics: a One Health approach
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper examines ocean microplastic pollution through a One Health framework, connecting marine ecosystem contamination to animal and human health impacts by tracing microplastic pathways from ocean sources through food webs to human exposure. The approach integrates ecological, veterinary, and public health perspectives to argue for a unified response to microplastic pollution as a cross-cutting environmental health challenge.
