Marine Spatial Planning: Case Studies [PDF]
, 2016 With marine planning developing in many parts of the world, especially the E.U., U.S. and Australia, it is important for industry to be part of the creation of a shared vision for a marine area and the necessary elements (e.g., outreach, funding ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

A global map to aid the identification and screening of critical habitat for marine industries [PDF]
, 2015 Marine industries face a number of risks that necessitate careful analysis prior to making decisions on the siting of operations and facilities. An important emerging regulatory framework on environmental sustainability for business operations is the ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (

Random encounter modelling as a viable method to estimate absolute abundance of reef fish
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Remote underwater video (RUV) surveys are increasingly replacing diver‐based underwater visual censuses (UVCs) in fish ecology studies, especially on coral reefs. However, extracting reliable estimates of abundance or density from video footage is a major challenge, with most studies using a metric of relative abundance, MaxN (maximum number ...

Assessing community values for reducing agricultural emissions to improve water quality and protect coral health in the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
Key policy issues relating to protection of the Great Barrier Reef from pollutants generated by agriculture are to identify when measures to improve water quality generate benefits to society that outweigh the costs of reducing pollutants.

Biodiversity research requires more motors in air, water and on land
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Human activities have accelerated species extinctions, driving rapid biodiversity decline. Simultaneously, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Uncrewed vehicles—drones (aerial systems) and other robots (ground and underwater platforms)—equipped with high ...

Financing Marine Conservation: A Menu of Options [PDF]
, 2004 This guide describes over 30 mechanisms for financing the conservation of marine biodiversity, both within and outside of MPAs. Its main purpose is to familiarize conservation professionals i.e., the managers and staff of government conservation agencies,

Contribution of microcosm experiments to conservation science
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Microcosms, or miniature experimental systems, have been used to develop models and theories in ecology. However, their contribution to conservation science is unclear. We explored the application, design, and impact of microcosms in conservation science from 469 systematically identified articles published from 1986 to 2023.
