Long‐term perceptions of freshwater anglers about abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear during their fishing careers

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) represents a significant pollutant in wetland ecosystems globally. While the impacts of ALDFG are increasingly recognised as exacting a substantial toll on the world's oceans, reliable data on freshwater ...

Conventions in fresh water fishing in the prehistoric southern Levant: The evidence from the study of Neolithic Beisamoun notched pebbles

Journal of Lithic Studies, 2016
[Research Article] Fishing gear is not frequently found in archaeological sites in the southern Levant. Bone hooks were found as early as the later Epipalaeolithic period (mainly in Natufian culture sites) and continue to appear in small numbers until ...

Civil Society Advocacy and Climate Change in Kenya: The Question of “Local Voices” and Their “Amplification”

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in addressing climate change is acknowledged, but engagement with questions of voice remains limited, especially in the Global South. Addressing this, this paper zooms in on (International) nongovernmental organizations ((I)NGOs) and their collaborations with domestic CSOs in the Global South on ...

Real-Time 3D Simulation for the Trawl Fishing Gear Based on Parallel Processing of Sonar Sensor Data

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2014
A huge and a complex internal computation is required to visualize the underwater geometry of a fishing gear, because each particle of the gear should be calculated with consideration of several force vectors, such as the movements of the fishing vessel,

Exploring the relationship between static fishing gear, fishing effort, and benthic biodiversity: a systematic review protocol

Environmental Evidence, 2021
Background and objectives The environmental effects of static gear fishing include habitat-level effects such as permanent changes to the physical environment and the structure of the benthic and epibenthic communities.

Ocean Governance and Marine Conservation: Institutional Work as a Lever for Ocean Sustainability

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ocean governance presents one of the most complex environmental policy challenges of our time, requiring coordinated action across multiple scales, sectors and stakeholder groups. This paper applies institutional work theory to systematically examine how actors create, maintain and disrupt the governance arrangements underpinning ocean ...

From the sea to DNA barcode: Optimized preservation method for gelatinous zooplankton integrative taxonomy

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Assigning taxonomic identity and thus assessing taxonomic diversity in gelatinous zooplankton is challenging due to their fragility and difficult preservation. Formalin fixation compromises DNA integrity, while flash‐freezing, ethanol, and acetone preservation affect morphological features. In this study, we developed a methodological protocol

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

Validity of quantifying sensation of fishing reel using transmission error instead of sensory human evaluation for face gear design

Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2019
This paper discusses the determination of tooth-flank modification on a face gear system in order to improve the handle rotational sensation of a fishing spinning reel (hereafter, fishing reel sensation) and quantification of it.
