The Alaska Climate Integrated Modeling project (ACLIM) is an interdisciplinary collaboration to project and evaluate climate impacts on marine fisheries in the Bering Sea, Alaska.
Rockfish are some of the most colorful and diverse fish in Alaskan waters, and are prized by both commercial and recreational fishermen. They are also among the oldest fish on earth, with some species living over 100 years.
We review ways to safely handle and remedy the incidental capture of sea turtles, cetaceans, seabirds, sharks, and billfish in fishing. As well as summarize the most effective measures for improving survivability of these species post incidental capture.
Below are some amazing images from our research at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. Feel free to download them for your phone or computer background.
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.
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.
This study develops several single- and multi-region input-output models in IMPLAN using the annual expenditure data from a 2012 survey of charter fishing operations in the state of Hawaii.
