Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the ocean-and the resources within-seem limitless, there is clear evidence that human impacts such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution disrupt marine ecosystems and threaten the long-term productivity of the seas. Declining yields in many fisheries and decay of treasured marine habitats, such as coral reefs, has heightened interest in establishing a comprehensive system of marine protected areas (MPAs)-areas designated for special protection to enhance the management of marine resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to evaluate how MPAs can be employed in the United States and internationally as tools to support specific conservation needs of marine and coastal waters. Marine Protected Areas compares conventional management of marine resources with proposals to augment these management strategies with a system of protected areas. The volume argues that implementation of MPAs should be incremental and adaptive, through the design of areas not only to conserve resources, but also to help us learn how to manage marine species more effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This document has been developed to provide information and guidance on the use of marine protected areas (MPAs) in the context of fisheries. As MPA implementation moves ahead in the arena of marine biodiversity conservation, many people feel that the fisheries aspects are not fully understood nor always appropriately taken into account, and that guidance specific to this sector is needed. These Guidelines look specifically at fisheries features of MPAs, but also address the interface between fisheries management and biodiversity conservation and provide support for MPAs with multiple objectives. The Guidelines are divided into two sections: the first discusses definitions and context, and provides background information on fisheries management, the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) and MPAs as a tool for fisheries management, including socio-economic and biological impacts. The second section considers the planning and implementing of MPAs including the institutional, legal and policy context, the planning process and actual implementation considerations. Conclusions and future directions are offered in the last chapter of this section, while a selection of annexes offers in-depth information on a few key issues. The document highlights the need for increased coordination across sectors and agencies/departments. Integration of diverse interests and viewpoints is required if we are to successfully manage our oceans and their resources for future generations. As with all fisheries management, good governance -- including adequate stakeholder participation -- is key to successful and equitable management outcomes."--P. [4] of cover.
Book Synopsis Evaluating the Effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas for Reef Fish Species in the US Southeast Atlantic by : Christopher Harold Pickens
Download or read book Evaluating the Effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas for Reef Fish Species in the US Southeast Atlantic written by Christopher Harold Pickens and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been recommended as an essential conservation tool, with MPA coverage increasing four-fold globally since 2000. Despite the increased popularity of MPAs, many MPAs have been deemed ineffective, warranting further evaluation of MPA effectiveness. In 2009, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council established eight deep-water MPAs off the Southeast United States' (SEUS) Atlantic coast with the goal of protecting long-lived deep-water reef-associated fishery species. After nearly a decade of protection, I evaluated three of SEUS MPAs with nearby unprotected comparison areas using two data series (video and trap catch data) collected as part of fishery-independent surveys. From video data collected from 2011 to 2017, I observed no positive trend in density, species richness, or community composition of reef fish species inside the MPA. I did observe an increase in evenness of rare reef fish species in the MPAs relative to unprotected areas, but this was attributed to a decrease in managed reef fish species abundance rather than an increase in rare, previously heavily-exploited reef fish. From trap data collected from 2000 to 2018, I observed a modest positive shift in reef fish size distribution in two of the MPAs and age distribution in one of the MPAs; however, there was either no change or a significant decrease in managed reef fish abundance and biomass in each MPA relative to outside. Overall, I believe the SEUS MPAs have not (yet) been effective at protecting managed reef fish species. Given these MPAs have low enforcement and sampling was conducted on the continental shelf portion of the MPAs, future assessment should examine compliance within the SEUS MPAs and sample deeper areas to determine if lack of success is due to illegal fishing, species examined, or MPA design before making a final determination if deep-water MPAs are an effective strategy for fisheries managers in the SEUS.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly being implemented as a fisheries management tool. The continued decline of worldwide capture fisheries gives an impetus for studying how MPAs could sustain fisheries. Despite the growing MPA literature, many ecological effects have remained understudied. This doctoral thesis aimed to examine how MPAs can benefit small-scale fisheries, particularly in the French Mediterranean. Field experiments were conducted in the Cap Roux Fishery Reserve, Saint-Raphaël to determine the effects of protection on adult fish communities, recruitment and adjacent fisheries. Indirect effects of protection were detected, particularly on trophic interactions. Mortality of juvenile fish was higher inside the reserve compared to fished areas as seen from surveys of newly-settled Diplodus sargus in their nursery habitats and a caging experiment using recently-settled Symphodus ocellatus in artificial habitats. The mortality patterns were attributed to higher predation inside the reserve. Stable isotope analyses revealed that fish species with higher trophic levels were caught inside the reserve. Meanwhile, catch yields from experimental fishing were higher inside the reserve than in fished areas but decreased with distance from the center of the reserve. Spillover effect was not observed, which could be explained by several factors: poaching or fishing along the boundary which could offset any gains from protection, reserve size which could be incompatible with natural fish home ranges, and the age of the reserve which could still be young for full biomass recovery. These factors should be considered in the management of the Cap Roux Fishery Reserve.

Download or read book Ocean Zoning written by Tundi Agardy and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2010 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our knowledge of the oceans is increasing rapidly, as more powerful tools for exploration and exploitation make it easier to locate valuable resources, such as fish stocks, oil and gas reserves, or sites for wind and hydropower schemes. At the same time competition for space has intensified, affecting marine life and people's livelihoods. Much has been written about marine management using marine protected areas, but MPAs are only a small subset of spatial management tools available. MPAs and MPA networks are better seen as starting points for more comprehensive spatial management, facilitated by ocean zoning. This logical scaling up from discreet piecemeal protected areas to larger and more systematic planning is happening around the world, but few are aware that we are entering a brave new world in ocean management with zoning at its core.This book provides guidance on using ocean zoning to improve marine management. It reviews the benefits of ocean zoning in theory, reviews progress made in zoning around the world through a wide range of case studies, and derives lessons learned to recommend a process by which future zoning can be maximally effective and efficient.Published with MARES, Forest Trends and UNEP

Book Synopsis Sustaining Marine Fisheries by : National Research Council
Download or read book Sustaining Marine Fisheries written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-03-19 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluctuations and declines in marine fish populations have caused growing concern among marine scientists, fisheries managers, commercial and recreational fishers, and the public. Sustaining Marine Fisheries explores the nature of marine ecosystems and the complex interacting factors that shape their productivity. The book documents the condition of marine fisheries today, highlighting species and geographic areas that are under particular stress. Challenges to achieving sustainability are discussed, and shortcomings of existing fisheries management and regulation are examined. The volume calls for fisheries management to adopt a broader ecosystem perspective that encompasses all relevant environmental and human influences. Sustaining Marine Fisheries offers new approaches to building workable fisheries management institutions, improving scientific data, and developing management tools. The book recommends ways to change current practices that encourage overexploitation of fish resources. It will be of special interest to marine policymakers and ecologists, fisheries regulators and managers, fisheries scientists and marine ecologists, fishers, and concerned individuals.

Book Synopsis Marine Protected Areas by : Joachim Claudet
Download or read book Marine Protected Areas written by Joachim Claudet and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human-induced environmental disturbance – through fishery activities, coastal development, tourism and pollution – is a major challenge to the restoration and conservation of marine biodiversity. Synthesizing the latest research into marine biodiversity conservation and fisheries management, this book provides regional and global perspectives on the role of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in confronting this challenge. The approach is multidisciplinary, covering all the fields involved in designating and assessing MPAs: ecology, fisheries science, statistics, economics, sociology and genetics. The book is structured around key topics, including threats to marine ecosystems and resources, the effects and effectiveness of MPAs and the scaling-up of MPA systems. Both theoretical and empirical approaches are considered. Recognizing the diversity of MPA sciences, the book also includes one part designed specifically as a practical guide to implementing scientific assessment studies of MPAs and monitoring programs.
