Description: Introduction to this Volume
On a global scale, more than 40 million people make their living working
directly at sea as fishers, seafarers, in aquaculture or seabed-mining, or related
occupations such as dockworkers, shipbuilding, logistics, maritime administration,
secondary branches of shipping, marine tourism and other maritime
professions. Moreover, the world as we know it today would be inconceivable
without the maritime economy and the people who work in such maritime professions
(Kołodziej, 2022). Significant social developments such as industrialisation
or globalisation are historically and currently closely entangled with the
phenomenon that the Polish maritime sociologist Ludwik Janiszewski named
‘marinization’ (‘marynizacja’) (Janiszewski, 1988; see also: Kołodziej & Kołodziej-
Durnaś, 2022). With this concept, Janiszewski refers to a development of increasing
importance for human life and society, an increasing entanglement of the
terrestrial with the maritime realm (Kołodziej, 2019; Bryniewicz, 2004).
