Assessing the effectiveness of Sri Lankan marine protected areas: Challenges and recommendations

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We evaluated the biodiversity conservation effectiveness of 32 zones of Sri Lankan marine protected areas (MPA) and found that most are currently insufficiently protected. Threats to MPAs were not uniform, with harmful dredging/dumping, anchoring, fishing, and non‐extractive activities identified as major pressures affecting different sets of MPAs.

Marine rewilding principles as a guiding framework for large‐scale ecosystem restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
As marine ecosystems face accelerating degradation from human pressures, interest is growing in approaches that move beyond protection toward active recovery of ecological processes. This article introduces marine rewilding as a forward‐looking framework and synthesizes ecological and social science to develop eight transdisciplinary principles that ...

Behavioural Diversity of Fishes: Concepts, Drivers and Its Role in Conservation and Management

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem scale. Yet some components of biodiversity remain hidden or underappreciated, including behavioural diversity.

A Modified Gear Removal Index (GRI) Method to Support the Management of Abandoned Fishing Gear on Coralligenous Reefs

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abandoned, Lost or otherwise Discarded Fishing Gears (ALDFG) have significant negative effects on marine ecosystems. In the Mediterranean Sea, the impact of ALDFG is particularly relevant on coralligenous reefs. The management of ALDFG focuses primarily on their removal, however this type of intervention may potentially damage the habitat, so ...
