Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2016 Seabirds usually need productive waters and respond differently to environmental changes according to the oceanographic domain where they occur. The Arvoredo Marine Biological Reserve protects part of an important ecological region in Brazil and shelters

Changes in fish assemblages following the establishment of a network of no-take marine reserves and partially-protected areas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Networks of no-take marine reserves and partially-protected areas (with limited fishing) are being increasingly promoted as a means of conserving biodiversity.

Media + Environment, 2021 Marine sanctuaries are an important part of ocean conservation today, but because of their local economic effects on industries such as fisheries, gas and oil extraction, and tourism, they produce conflicts of interest between different stakeholders and ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Marine protected areas have long been proposed as a key tool to restore lost food web interactions and increase the resilience of ecosystems to climate change impacts. However, a changing climate can result in the arrival of new species or differentially

Rapid effects of marine reserves via larval dispersal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Marine reserves have been advocated worldwide as conservation and fishery management tools. It is argued that they can protect ecosystems and also benefit fisheries via density-dependent spillover of adults and enhanced larval dispersal into fishing ...

Untangling natural seascape variation from marine reserve effects using a landscape approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Distinguishing management effects from the inherent variability in a system is a key consideration in assessing reserve efficacy. Here, we demonstrate how seascape heterogeneity, defined as the spatial configuration and composition of coral reef habitats,

Marine reserves with ecological uncertainty
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2005 To help manage the fluctuations inherent in fish populations scientists have argued for both an ecosystem approach to management and the greater use of marine reserves. Support for reserves includes empirical evidence that they can raise the spawning biomass and mean size of exploited populations, increase the abundance of species and, relative to ...
