Harmony or Discord? The Influence of Rights of Nature Activism on the Dutch-North Sea Food Relationship

Bachelor thesis | Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology (BSc)

This thesis examines how activism, based on the development of the Rights of Nature movement, influences the relationship between Dutch people and the North Sea as a food source. It investigates the effects of the Rights of Nature on the sea’s utilization and the responses of Dutch people to the development of the Rights of Nature for the North Sea. It highlights the need for a shift toward more sustainable practices and a new balance between ecological preservation and socio-economic considerations, contributing to understanding the dynamics between the Dutch people and the North Sea in the framework of the Rights of Nature.
