A decision framework for estimating the cost of marine plastic pollution interventions. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2022
Abstract Marine plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Although there has been a surge in global investment for implementing interventions to mitigate plastic pollution, there has been little attention given to the cost of these interventions. We developed a decision support framework to identify

Simulating drifting fish aggregating device trajectories to identify potential interactions with endangered sea turtles. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Purse‐seine fishers using drifting fish aggregating devices (dFADs), mainly built with bamboo, plastic buoys, and plastic netting, to aggregate and catch tropical tuna, deploy 46,000–65,000 dFADs per year in the Pacific Ocean. Some of the major concerns associated with this widespread fishing device are potential entanglement of sea turtles ...
