Reconsidering the role of introduced species in the climate‐affected and highly invaded eastern Mediterranean

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Stakeholder diversity matters: employing the wisdom of crowds for data-poor fisheries assessments

Scientific Reports
Embracing local knowledge is vital to conserve and manage biodiversity, yet frameworks to do so are lacking. We need to understand which, and how many knowledge holders are needed to ensure that management recommendations arising from local knowledge are

Role of funders in embedding tests in conservation practice

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective conservation practice requires decisions based on reliable and relevant evidence, but significant gaps in the evidence base exist. Incorporating well‐designed tests of the effectiveness of interventions for biodiversity in conservation projects is one of the best ways to scale up the rate of evidence generation.

Comparison of Seagrass Carbon Stock Across Three Distinct Associated Ecosystems, Eastern Coast of Bintan Island, Indonesia [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Marine biota and organisms, including seagrass, capture and utilize more than half of the carbon produced on earth. Seagrass ecosystems are blue carbon ecosystems that play a role in reducing CO2 emissions concerning current climate change.

SeagrassSpotter

, 2016
Around our coasts lie secret undersea gardens. Revealed only at the lowest of tides, these gardens are formed by a special marine plant called seagrass. Seagrass is vital to our coast, providing a home for marine life, including fish species like cod and

Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.
