A user-friendly tool to evaluate the effectiveness of no-take marine reserves. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Marine reserves are implemented to achieve a variety of objectives, but are seldom rigorously evaluated to determine whether those objectives are met.

Fishing and the impact of marine reserves in a variable environment [PDF]
, 2004 We use discrete-time models to investigate the impact of marine reserve establishment on fishery catch and biomass levels in open-access and quota-regulated fisheries under conditions of recruitment variability and natural mortality events.

THE ECONOMICS OF MARINE RESERVES
Natural Resource Modeling, 2002 ABSTRACT. Marine reserves can be a useful supplement to other methods of fisheries management, but marine reserves alone are not likely to achieve a great deal in economic terms andperhaps not even in terms of conservation. The effects of marine reserves with open access elsewhere are analyzed, using a logistic model for a population with a patchy ...

Distance from a fishing community explains fish abundance in a no-take zone with weak compliance [PDF]
, 2015 There are numerous examples of no-take marine reserves effectively conserving fish stocks within their boundaries. However, no-take reserves can be rendered ineffective and turned into ‘paper parks’ through poor compliance and weak enforcement of reserve

Scientia Marina, 1999 The growth of Epinephelus marginatus living in the Natural Marine Reserve of the Lavezzi Islands was studied using the von Bertalanffy model. The growth parameters of this model were: L?=135.9 cm, K=0.08, t0=-0.80 years.

Evidence for protection of targeted reef fish on the largest marine reserve in the Caribbean [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Marine reserves can restore fish abundance and diversity in areas impacted by overfishing, but the effectiveness of reserves in developing countries where resources for enforcement are limited, have seldom been evaluated.

Increased disease calls for a cost-benefits review of marine reserves. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Marine reserves (or No-Take Zones) are implemented to protect species and habitats, with the aim of restoring a balanced ecosystem. Although the benefits of marine reserves are commonly monitored, there is a lack of insight into the potential detriments ...

Marine reserve effects on fishery profit [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2008 Abstract Some studies suggest that fishery yields can be higher with reserves than under conventional management. However, the economic performance of fisheries depends on economic profit, not fish yield. The predictions of higher yields with reserves rely on intensive fishing pressures between reserves; the exorbitant costs of ...

Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...
