Voices From the Coast: Stakeholder Participation and Perception on Creating a Marine Protected Area
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores participatory processes in the context of marine conservation, with a specific focus on recent initiatives undertaken by the Apulia region in Italy to establish a new Marine Protected Area (MPA). Employing a qualitative cross‐sectional methodology, the study investigates how local communities perceive and engage with the ...

The footprint of bottom trawling in European waters: distribution, intensity, and seabed integrity
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2016 Mapping trawling pressure on the benthic habitats is needed as background to support an ecosystem approach to fisheries management. The extent and intensity of bottom trawling on the European continental shelf (0–1000 m) was analysed from logbook ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding how environmental variability structures essential fish habitat (EFH) is central to managing keystone populations in dynamic marine ecosystems. Using nearly three decades of standardized survey data (1994–2021) from the Adriatic Sea, we present the first basin‐scale, process‐based framework linking estimated habitat suitability and ...

Trawling-induced change in benthic effect trait composition – A multiple case study
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 IntroductionThe importance of the response-effect trait dichotomy in marine benthic ecology has garnered recent attention. Response traits, characterising species responses to environmental variations, have been a dominant focus in the development of ...

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

Distribution of Bottom Trawling Effort in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bottom trawling is one of the most efficient fishing activities, but serious and persistent ecological issues have been observed by fishers, scientists and fishery managers. Although China has applied the Beidou fishing vessel position monitoring system (
