Marine reserves with ecological uncertainty.
To help manage the fluctuations inherent in fish populations scientists have argued for both an ecosystem approach to management and the greater use of marine reserves. Support for reserves includes empirical evidence that they can raise the spawning biomass and mean size of exploited populations, increase the abundance of species and, relative to reference sites, raise population density, biom...
متن کاملMarine reserves as linked social-ecological systems.
Marine reserves are increasingly recognized as having linked social and ecological dynamics. This study investigates how the ecological performance of 56 marine reserves throughout the Philippines, Caribbean, and Western Indian Ocean (WIO) is related to both reserve design features and the socioeconomic characteristics in associated coastal communities. Ecological performance was measured as fi...
متن کاملMarine reserves: fish life history and ecological traits matter.
Marine reserves are assumed to protect a wide range of species from deleterious effects stemming from exploitation. However, some species, due to their ecological characteristics, may not respond positively to protection. Very little is known about the effects of life history and ecological traits (e.g., mobility, growth, and habitat) on responses of fish species to marine reserves. Using 40 da...
متن کاملPublished criteria for evaluating health related web sites: review.
OBJECTIVE To review published criteria for specifically evaluating health related information on the world wide web, and to identify areas of consensus. DESIGN Search of world wide web sites and peer reviewed medical journals for explicit criteria for evaluating health related information on the web, using Medline and Lexis-Nexis databases, and the following internet search engines: Yahoo!, E...
متن کاملNew tools for designing effective marine reserves
Marine reserves represent an emerging management tool, and are a challenge to the application of basic marine ecology to applied problems. Although some aspects of reserve science are extensively researched, new information on reserves is badly needed in at least two major areas 1) the impact that reserves have on the ecosystems in which they are imbedded, and 2) the way we can use complex ecol...
