Comparative review of entanglement risk assessments for cetacean conservation and management
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Cetacean entanglement in fishing gear remains a major global threat that exposes persistent gaps in how fisheries management frameworks manage risk to nontarget species. Ecological risk assessment (ERA) offers a structured way to link exposure and consequences to an explicit statement of risk, but entanglement risk assessments vary widely in ...

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 ...
