Connectivity within and among a network of temperate marine reserves. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Networks of marine reserves are increasingly being promoted as a means of conserving marine biodiversity. One consideration in designing systems of marine reserves is the maintenance of connectivity to ensure the long-term persistence and resilience of ...

Bayesian Bioeconomics of Marine Reserves [PDF]
, 2005 We use Bayesian econometric methods to estimate dynamic bioeconomic models of marine reserve formation using simulated data and real data from the Gulf of Mexico reef fish fishery. We test the effects of reserves on fish growth and catchability.Resource /

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 ...

Marine Protected Areas should be managed with greater integration
California Agriculture, 1997 Like their counterparts on land, protected areas in U.S. coastal waters are numerous and complex. California alone has 104 marine protected areas (MPAs). MPAs carry a variety of names.

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.

The role of pre-existing disturbances in the effect of marine reserves on coastal ecosystems: a modelling approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We have used an end-to-end ecosystem model to explore responses over 30 years to coastal no-take reserves covering up to 6% of the fifty thousand square kilometres of continental shelf and slope off the coast of New South Wales (Australia).

Marine Reserve Design [Video] [PDF]
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 value systems.
