A review of participatory mapping in conservation science and practice

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
There has been a recent increase and diversification in the use of participatory mapping in the field of conservation, however, methodological standards remain both disjointed and confounding. We conducted a comprehensive review of the conservation participatory mapping literature and synthesized geographical, temporal, and topical trends across a ...

Duck Tales: Spatio‐temporal dynamics of habitat use and prey relationships of a diving duck and its implication for conservation management

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Shows the spatiotemporal predictability of wintering eiders based on monitoring data from 1993–2023 with intertidal and subtidal Marine Protected Areas (yellow and green, respectively), and a depiction of the current mismatch between eider hotspots and protection measures. Abstract Migratory animals often follow predictable spatiotemporal distributions

Trawling in the Mediterranean: An Exploration of Empirical Relations Connecting Fishing Gears, Otterboards and Propulsive Characteristics of Fishing Vessels

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Fishing pressure is often expressed in terms of a vessels physical attributes, like tonnage and engine power, while a common definition of fishing capacity identifies vessel size as a convenient proxy for the size of the gear used.

Assessing Risk for Bycatch and Byproduct Species Using a Modified Sustainability Assessment for Fishing Effects (SAFE) Approach

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central to ecosystem‐based fisheries management is ensuring the sustainability of bycatch and byproduct species. However, the sustainability of these species is difficult to assess as the lack of information limits the use of traditional stock assessment methods.

Incidental catch and mortality of striped bass, Morone saxatilis, in the commercial bay shrimp trawl fishery in the San Francisco estuarine complex [PDF]

, 1991
The commercial bay shrimp fishery was monitored from April 1989 to September 1990 in south San Francisco Bay, and from September 1989 to September 1990 in San Pablo Bay and Carquinez Strait, to estimate incidental catch and mortality of young-of-the ...

Advancing Ecological Understanding and Sustainable Management of Small Pelagic Fish

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small pelagic fish (SPF) are critical to the trophodynamic structure and function of marine systems and support some of the most valuable and socially important fisheries worldwide. Their “boom and bust” population dynamics, shifts in distribution, and importance as forage resources for other fish stocks place unique challenges to assessing ...

Biological characteristics and mortality of western butterfish (Pentapodus vitta), an abundant bycatch species of prawn trawling and recreational fishing in a large subtropical embayment [PDF]

, 2006
The western butterfish (Pentapodus vitta) is numerous in the bycatch of prawn trawling and recreational fishing in Shark Bay, Western Australia. We have thus determined crucial aspects of its biological characteristics and the potential impact of fishing
