Out of 139 included papers, only six studies directly compared different #bluespace types within the same study. Most studies compared blue spaces to urban or a #greenspace environments, rather than other blue spaces.
Lots of research gaps left to address in #bluespaces!

A beautiful late afternoon wander along my beloved path. Grateful for the urban nature landscape and the much appreciated comfort it provides.

Dublin's and Ireland's waterways and #BlueSpaces could be enormous sources of health and wellbeing.

Instead, we (spearheaded by our government) continue to treat them as open sewages.

Why I swim in Oslo, but not in Dublin Since coming back to Oslo for Christmas, I’ve done something I would never dare do in Dublin: go for a swim in the city centre.

Happy Sunday ☀️

New Substack out on #BlueHealth and the role of urban #BlueSpaces.

Dublin’s waterways hold enormous potential to support health and wellbeing for all.

What’s missing? Political will, vision, and ambition.

@helenezillig.bsky.social presents her research at the #ENLIGHTConference2025!

She merged over 1,400 nighttime visits to #BlueSpaces with satellite data measuring Artificial Light at Night ( #ALAN) to explore how the brightness of a location relates to perceived #safety and #wellbeing. 🌃

Wonderful to chat with Rob from @oceanographicmag.bsky.social yday at @kendalmountainfest.bsky.social 🏞

Chatted all about connection to our #Ocean & how we @mcsuk.bsky.social are engaging young people with our #bluespaces 💙🌊🐬🦭🐚🐋

@helenezillig.bsky.social is a student assistant, supporting the #ZeroPM project and helping classes on #EnvironmentalPsychology run smoothly for both students and lecturers. In her Master’s Thesis, she investigates how people’s #nighttime experience of #BlueSpaces is impacted by artificial light. 💡

Dublin: The City That Turned Its Back on the Water How we can transform our polluted waterways into spaces for health and community.

💧 Last weekend’s #LiffeySwim should act as a reminder of what we are missing in Dublin.

While cities across Europe are reclaiming their #BlueSpaces for swimming, we continue to treat ours like an open sewer.

It’s time to imagine, no demand, a swimmable Dublin. 🌊

Really need to consider again the deculverting and uncovering of the Wye in High Wycombe. The benefits overall would far outweigh the financial outlay. It CAN be done - Sheffield leads the way.
