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.
An exempted fishing permit is a permit issued by the Alaska Region to allow fishing activities that would otherwise be prohibited under federal regulations. These permits are issued for limited experimental purposes to support certain projects.
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.
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.
