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.

Consistent multi-level trophic effects of marine reserve protection across northern New Zealand. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Through systematic Reef Life Survey censuses of rocky reef fishes, invertebrates and macroalgae at eight marine reserves across northern New Zealand and the Kermadec Islands, we investigated whether a system of no-take marine reserves generates ...

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.

A Caribbean-wide survey of marine reserves: spatial coverage and attributes of effectiveness [PDF]
, 2003 Fully-protected marine reserves can function at several spatial scales, from a single area encompassing few habitats, to local networks of many habitats, to large-scale networks connected by larval dispersal.

Fishers’ perceptions of the recurrence of dynamite-fishing practices on the coast of Tanzania
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Dynamite or blast fishing remains the most pervasive destructive fishing method in the coastal waters of Tanzania. It constitutes a major threat to small-scale fisheries through degradation of reefs and other critical habitats for fish.

Ecosphere, 2013 Theory suggests that marine reserve networks can maintain wide geographical distributions of exploited fish and invertebrates. Since 2005, ten regions in southwest New Zealand have been designated no‐take marine reserves nested within eleven commercial ...

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 ...

Estimating Queen Conch (Strombus gigas) home ranges using acoustic telemetry: implications for the design of marine fishery reserves [PDF]
, 2003 Marine reserves (MRs) may function as a vital tool in the conservation and management of marine resources if source populations are managed for the benefit of those downstream.
