The importance of habitat quality for marine reserve fishery linkages [PDF]
, 2003 We model marine reserve - fishery linkages to evaluate the potential contribution of habitat-quality improvements inside a marine reserve to fish productivity and fishery catches.

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

On the Optimal Size of Marine Reserves
Acta Biotheoretica, 2013 The excessive and unsustainable exploitation of our marine resources has led to the promotion of marine reserves as a fisheries management tool. Marine reserves, areas in which fishing is restricted or prohibited, can offer opportunities for the recovery of exploited stock and fishery enhancement.

The True Challenge of Giant Marine Reserves [PDF]
Science, 2013 The News Focus story "Giant marine reserves pose vast challenges" (C. Pala, 8 February, p. [640][1]) discusses the potential role of large marine reserves in conserving pelagic species. We highlight three points that are misrepresented in the article.

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

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,

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 ...

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 ...
