Evidence that marine reserves enhance resilience to climatic impacts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Establishment of marine protected areas, including fully protected marine reserves, is one of the few management tools available for local communities to combat the deleterious effect of large scale environmental impacts, including global climate change,

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 ...

Incorporating protected areas into global fish biomass projections under climate change
FACETS, 2023 The world has set ambitious goals to protect marine biodiversity and improve ocean health in the face of anthropogenic threats. Yet, the efficiency of spatial tools such as marine reserves to protect biodiversity is threatened as climate change shifts ...

How to model marine reserves? [PDF]
Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications, 2009 The safeguarding of resources is one of the principal subjects of halieutics studies. Among the solutions proposed to avert the disappearance of species, the setting in place of no take reserves is often mentioned. Most work on this subject, theoretical as well as applied, was undertaken in recent years.
