Participatory approaches to improving recreational fisheries management in a remote island system

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Marine recreational fisheries management is often impacted by data deficiencies and conflicting stakeholder views. Using participatory approaches can help to increase fisher engagement and identify trade‐offs to boost future management. Social science tools, including scenario‐based approaches, were used to explore recreational fisheries on a remote ...

Assessment of ecosystem status in Mozambique and implications for environmental planning

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We assess Mozambique's terrestrial ecosystems using the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems framework, showing that more than half of Mozambique's ecosystems are threatened, with impacts primarily concentrated in temperate subhumid grasslands and pyric tussock savannas.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Characteristics and primary controls of coral reef carbonate karstification in the South China Sea since the Miocene

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Coral reef karstification plays a vital role in sea-air CO2 exchange, yet its mechanisms remain unclear. This study employs an 878.22-m coral reef sequence (dating to19.6 Ma) from Well CK2 in the Xisha Islands, South China Sea (SCS), to investigate ...

Suitability of Coral Reef Ecosystem Condition Based on Local Ecology Knowledge with Survey Method in East Coast of Weh Island [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Local ecological knowledge (LEK) refers to the knowledge of people in a local community that can be used in assessing environmental conditions as well as reflecting the interaction that occur in an ecosystem.

Behavioral Evidence of Predator–Predator Commensalism: Cobia Track and Feed on Prey Disturbed by Southern Stingrays

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
We documented a novel predator–predator commensal foraging interaction between cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and a southern stingray (Hypanus americanus) in a shallow coastal habitat of Biscayne Bay, Florida. Using drone‐based observations, we recorded a 7‐min sequence in which a cobia closely tracked the stingray's movements and fed on prey disturbed ...

Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.
