Accounting for uncertainty in marine reserve design
Ecology Letters, 2005AbstractEcosystems and the species and communities within them are highly complex systems that defy predictions with any degree of certainty. Managing and conserving these systems in the face of uncertainty remains a daunting challenge, particularly with respect to developing networks of marine reserves. Here we review several modelling frameworks that

Systematic marine reserve design [PDF]
, 2023 Since the first reserve selection algorithm was developed in the early 1980s, systematic approaches to reserve design have attracted widespread support due to their ability to identify repeatable and efficient solutions to conservation planning problems. Yet there has been limited application of these methods to the problem of designing reserve systems

The Economics of Marine Reserves
2020Marine protected areas (MPAs) remain one of the principal strategies for marine conservation globally. MPAs are highly heterogeneous in terms of physical features such as size and shape, habitats included, management bodies undertaking management, goals, level of funding, and extent of enforcement.

Effects of Marine Reserves on Adjacent Fisheries
Science, 2001Marine reserves have been widely promoted as conservation and fishery management tools. There are robust demonstrations of conservation benefits, but fishery benefits remain controversial. We show that marine reserves in Florida (United States) and St. Lucia have enhanced adjacent fisheries.

Designing Marine Reserves for Fishery Management
Management Science, 2004Recent reports have raised serious concerns about the rapid declines of historically productive marine fishery resources and the degradation of essential fish habitats. This global crisis has spurred development of innovative management strategies to rebuild depleted fisheries and marine ecosystems.

Marine Geomorphology in the Design of Marine Reserve Networks
The Professional Geographer, 2011Marine environments, key life-support systems for the earth, are under severe threat. Issues associated with managing these common property resources are complex and interrelated. Networks of marine reserves can be valuable for mitigating threats to marine systems, yet the successful design and implementation of such networks has been limited ...

Marine Reserves for Fisheries Management
Marine Resource Economics, 1996Conventional methods of regulating commercial fisheries restrict catch by limiting either the quantity or efficiency of fishing effort, or by putting direct limits on catch. These regulatory practices are neither feasible nor desirable for many fisheries, and have failed to conserve fishery stocks in other fisheries. Marine reserves may be an effective

Matching marine reserve design to reserve objectives.
Proceedings. Biological sciences, 2003Recent interest in using marine reserves for marine resource management and conservation has largely been driven by the hope that reserves might counteract declines in fish populations and protect the biodiversity of the seas. However, the creation of reserves has led to dissension from some interested groups, such as fishermen, who fear that reserves ...

Estimation of Marine Mineral Reserve
Offshore Technology Conference, 1996Abstract Reserve estimation is a process commencing with sampling and culminating in the issue of a reserve statement. The tin, gold and diamonds which occur as marine placers on the continental shelf are low grade with a very erratic mineral distribution.
