Compensatory mitigation as a solution to fisheries bycatch–biodiversity conservation conflicts

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2007
Globally, fisheries catch of non-target species has major environmental impacts, resulting in social conflict, litigation, and fisheries closures. We use a bio-economic approach to demonstrate that compensatory mitigation – an innovative, market-influenced approach to fishery–conservation conflicts – can facilitate high-value uses of biological ...

Mitigating Bycatch: Insights from Key Stakeholders in Commercial Fisheries

Bycatch in commercial fisheries remains a significant environmental issue, with global implications for biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Despite various mitigation measures available, their adoption by fisheries in Argentina is inconsistent. This study examines the social factors influencing the implementation of bycatch mitigation measures within

Predicted harbor porpoise bycatch under potential mitigation measure scenarios

2008
During the Harbor Porpoise Take Reduction Team (HPTRP) meeting in December 2007, questions were raised concerning what the predicted harbor porpoise bycatch would have been in 2005 and 2006 if: (a) the current Harbor Porpoise Take Reduction Plan (HPTRP) was followed (Scenario I); (b) if, in addition, pingers had been used in the entire Northeast ...

Shark repellents: a comparison of alternative methods to mitigate bycatch

2023
Shark populations have been suffering a tremendous decrease in recent years, with many species currently threatened, mainly due to overfishing and climate change. Most fishing accounts for sharks occur when they are accidentally captured as bycatch. To mend this issue, shark repellent research has been developing over the last 70 years, however, it is ...
