Evaluating the Potential Effectiveness of Compensatory Mitigation Strategies for Marine Bycatch
Conservationists are continually seeking new strategies to reverse population declines and safeguard against species extinctions. Here we evaluate the potential efficacy of a recently proposed approach to offset a major anthropogenic threat to many marine vertebrates: incidental bycatch in commercial fisheries operations. This new approach, compensatory mitigation for marine bycatch (CMMB), is ...
متن کاملComparing bycatch mitigation strategies for vulnerable marine megafauna
Marine megafauna such as seabirds, marine mammals and sea turtles are subject to high mortality from incidental capture or bycatch in fisheries. Recent research suggests that fishing effort is increasing worldwide, highlighting the need to evaluate strategies intended to reduce marine megafauna bycatch. Here, we use three focal species (i.e. leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea, black-footed...

متن کاملBuying Years to Extinction: Is Compensatory Mitigation for Marine Bycatch a Sufficient Conservation Measure for Long-Lived Seabirds?
Along the lines of the 'polluter pays principle', it has recently been proposed that the local long-line fishing industry should fund eradication of terrestrial predators at seabird breeding colonies, as a compensatory measure for the bycatch caused by the fishing activity. The measure is economically sound, but a quantitative and reliable test of its biological efficacy has never been conducte...
متن کاملCompensatory mitigation as a solution to fisheries bycatch–biodiversity conservation conflicts
© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org G fisheries provide approximately 16% of all protein consumed by humans, employ about 200 million people, and are valued at US$82 billion (Botsford et al. 1997; FAO Fisheries Department 2004). Eight percent, or 7.2 million tons, of the global catch is comprised of non-target species and discarded, and this mortality is having major ...
