Integrating scientific data, local knowledge, and expert knowledge to assess climate vulnerability in fisheries
The complementary nature of diverse knowledge systems is increasingly recognized as essential for addressing climate challenges in fisheries management. However, current theoretical frameworks often oversimplify knowledge production and integration as a linear tool, overlooking its complexity, interpretative nuances, and inherent uncertainties. This study evaluated and integrated scientific data, institutional expert knowledge, and fishermen’s lo…
Enhancing the adaptive capacity of fisheries to climate change
Climate change is dramatically altering the environmental context in which marine resources are harvested and managed. A growing field of academic literature has begun to explore the adaptive capacity of fishers and managers to respond to this change, but much of this field is abstract and theory-driven. Therefore, it is unclear whether this literature accurately reflects the adaptation priorities of fishery management practitioners, or whether t…
Fisheries in flux
As climate change reshapes marine ecosystems, the dynamics of fish stocks are undergoing rapid transformation. Understanding these shifts and their multifaceted impacts demands more than just scientific inquiry; it necessitates a fusion of knowledge, collaboration, and action. However, the translation of cutting-edge research on the changing distributions and abundance of fish stocks into actionable strategies remains a daunting challenge. Climat…
What's the story? Using news articles to examine resilience pathways and domains in the southern New England American lobster ( Homarus americanus ) fishery
Understanding the resilience of fisheries systems is integral to enabling them to adjust to current and future environmental change. The American lobster ( Homarus americanus ) fishery in southern New England has experienced widespread declines in abundance since the late 1990s, with significant impacts on the people and communities reliant on this resource. Through an analysis of news articles from 1999 to 2021, we examined 76 lobstermen’s respo…

Climate impacts on the Gulf of Maine ecosystem
The Gulf of Maine has recently experienced its warmest 5-year period (2015–2020) in the instrumental record. This warming was associated with a decline in the signature subarctic zooplankton species, Calanus finmarchicus. The temperature changes have also led to impacts on commercial species such as Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and American lobster (Homarus americanus) and protected species including Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) and north…
Projected sea surface temperatures over the 21st century
Global climate models were used to assess changes in the mean, variability and extreme sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in northern oceans with a focus on large marine ecosystems (LMEs) adjacent to North America, Europe, and the Arctic Ocean. Results were obtained from 26 models in the Community Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) archive and 30 simulations from the National Center for Atmospheric Research Large Ensemble Community Projec…
Seasonal trends and phenology shifts in sea surface temperature on the North American northeastern continental shelf
The northeastern North American continental shelf from Cape Hatteras to the Scotian Shelf is a region of globally extreme positive trends in sea surface temperature (SST). Here, a 33-year (1982–2014) time series of daily satellite SST data was used to quantify and map spatial patterns in SST trends and phenology over this shelf. Strongest trends are over the Scotian Shelf (>0.6°C decade–1) and Gulf of Maine (>0.4°C decade–1) with weaker trends ov…
Harvest control rules in modern fisheries management
Harvest control rules have become an important tool in modern fisheries management, and are increasingly adopted to provide continuity in management practices, to deal with uncertainty and ecosystem considerations, and to relieve management decisions from short-term political pressure. We provide the conceptual and institutional background for harvest control rules, a discussion of the structure of fisheries management, and brief introductions to…
