Integrating global targets for protected areas and sustainable fisheries
The global ocean harbors millions of unique species, many of which help to provide food and nutrients for nearly half of the world’s human population. Yet, the continued viability of this critical food source is uncertain as unsustainable exploitation has eroded marine biodiversity, and ecosystems are affected by a changing climate. Efforts to rebuild overexploited fisheries, restore marine biodiversity, and build climate resilience are underway,…
Eight recommendations for advancing blue Nature-based Solutions
Crises narratives surrounding the societal challenges of biodiversity loss, climate change, and human health and well-being dominate current debates in global environmental politics. These challenges are deeply interconnected and require transformative and integrated change. Marine and coastal Nature-based Solutions (blue NbS) are an opportunity to minimise harmful human impacts on these ecosystems while providing co-benefits to people and nature…
Practitioner insights on challenges and options for advancing blue Nature-based Solutions
The dual environmental crises of climate change and biodiversity loss pose severe threats to human health and well-being. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are promoted as an important component of the response to simultaneously address both crises. However, their uptake in policy and planning has been impeded by evidence gaps and barriers to implementation, particularly in marine and coastal systems. Here, we describe practitioner perspectives on per…
Local diver knowledge reveals decline in scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) at seamounts in the southwestern Gulf of California
Records reveal the vast historical extent of European oyster reef ecosystems
Anthropogenic activities have impacted marine ecosystems at extraordinary scales. Biogenic reef ecosystems built by the European flat oyster ( Ostrea edulis ) typically declined before scientific monitoring. The past form and extent of these habitats thus remains unknown, with such information potentially providing valuable perspectives for current management and policy. Collating >1,600 records published over 350 years, we created a map of histo…
Deep-sea mining poses an unjustifiable environmental risk
The MPA Guide
Consistency in conservation Marine protected areas (MPAs) are now well established globally as tools for conservation, for enhancing marine biodiversity, and for promoting sustainable fisheries. That said, which regions are labeled as MPAs varies substantially, from those that full protect marine species and prohibit human extraction to those that permit everything from intensive fishing to mining. This inconsistency can in some cases inhibit bot…
Rebuilding marine life
Sustainable Development Goal 14 of the United Nations aims to “conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development”. Achieving this goal will require rebuilding the marine life-support systems that deliver the many benefits that society receives from a healthy ocean. Here we document the recovery of marine populations, habitats and ecosystems following past conservation interventions. Recovery rates acro…
Marine reserves can mitigate and promote adaptation to climate change
Strong decreases in greenhouse gas emissions are required to meet the reduction trajectory resolved within the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, even these decreases will not avert serious stress and damage to life on Earth, and additional steps are needed to boost the resilience of ecosystems, safeguard their wildlife, and protect their capacity to supply vital goods and services. We discuss how well-managed marine reserves may help marine ecosyste…
The biodiversity of species and their rates of extinction, distribution, and protection
Background A principal function of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is to “perform regular and timely assessments of knowledge on biodiversity.” In December 2013, its second plenary session approved a program to begin a global assessment in 2015. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and five other biodiversity-related conventions have adopted IPBES as their science-policy interfa…
Interpreting the expansion of sea fishing in medieval Europe using stable isotope analysis of archaeological cod bones
Management Effectiveness of the World's Marine Fisheries
Ongoing declines in production of the world's fisheries may have serious ecological and socioeconomic consequences. As a result, a number of international efforts have sought to improve management and prevent overexploitation, while helping to maintain biodiversity and a sustainable food supply. Although these initiatives have received broad acceptance, the extent to which corrective measures have been implemented and are effective remains largel…
Detecting the medieval cod trade
Financial Comparisons of Fishing Gear Used in Kenya's Coral Reef Lagoons
The cost of fishing and the income earned by fishers using small and large traps, gill nets, beach seines, hand lines, and spearguns were assessed in the multigear fishery of southern Kenya to establish a financial rationale for fishing gear use. Direct observations and key-informant interviews with fish leaders and boat captains were used to gather data on fish catch, cost of fishing gear, boats, and the price of fish. Among the fishing gear use…
Dark Age Economics' revisited
When did the market economy come to Europe? Fish might seem an unlikely commodity to throw light on the matter, but the authors use fish bones from English sites to offer a vivid account of the rise and rise of the market as a factor in European development from the late tenth century
A simple bioeconomic model of a marine reserve
