Try, Try Again: Lessons Learned From Success and Failure in Participatory Modeling

Participatory Modeling (PM) is becoming increasingly common in environmental planning and conservation. We provide lessons learned, based on over 200 years of the authors’ cumulative and diverse experience, about PM processes.

Parsing Human and Biophysical Drivers of Coral Reef Regimes

Coral reefs worldwide face the pressure of human pollutants. We use machine learning to conduct explanatory predictions on reef ecosystems that can help inform reef practitioners and hold promises for replication across a broad range of ecosystems.

Can the Status of Pelagic Shark Populations Be Determined Using Simple Fishery Indicators?

This paper examines the reliability of indicator-based analysis for predicting population status and the fishing pressure of large pelagic sharks, based on these fishery indicator trends alone.

Combining Fish and Benthic Communities Into Multiple Regimes Reveals Complex Reef Dynamics

Many coral reefs are transitioning from being dominated by corals to macroalgae. We synthesize 3,345 surveys to define reef regimes and aid in monitoring reef change and guiding ecosystem-based management of reefs.

Managing Local Stressors for Coral Reef Condition and Ecosystem Services Delivery Under Climate Scenarios

A spatially-explicit biophysical ecosystem model evaluates socio-ecological trade-offs of land-based versus marine-based management scenarios and local-scale versus global-scale stressors and their cumulative impacts.

Acoustic Detection of North Pacific Right Whales in a High-Traffic Aleutian Pass, 2009–2015

Little is known about the winter distribution of the critically endangered eastern population of North Pacific right whale but it has been proposed that the eastern Aleutian Islands, specifically Unimak Pass, be a possible migratory route for individuals.
