Fishing Activity Affected Odontocete Cetacean Distribution in a Marine Protected Area in the East China Sea

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

Ship Collision Risk Assessment Algorithm Based on the Especial Cautious Navigation Angle Model

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
To address the challenges posed by dense shipping traffic and the difficulty of identifying navigation risks in open waters, this paper introduces an Especial Cautious Navigation Angle (ECNA) model for ships, grounded in ship collision avoidance geometry.

Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...

The Relational Character of Canadian Nation‐Building Infrastructure in the 21st Century

Canadian Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Infrastructure development is central to Canada's nation‐building process. This article argues that the federal government has recalibrated its nation‐building mandate from unilateral state command to relational orchestration. Through thematic analysis of thirty‐eight policy documents related to three federal infrastructure plans (2007–2016 ...

Reducing whale–vessel strikes through multiobjective vessel traffic routing

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vessel strikes threaten many large whale species. Managers employ several mitigation measures to reduce vessel strike risk, including establishing or modifying vessel routing measures, such as shipping lanes. However, most studies utilized to inform the configuration of shipping lanes only consider a limited number of potential lanes, and in ...

An agent‐based approach for designing effective protection for endangered species

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The main threat to New Zealand dolphins is entanglement in fishing nets. This agent‐based model shows that current protection is not achieving national or international goals for reducing bycatch. Abstract The main threat to New Zealand dolphins is entanglement in fishing nets.
