Aligning marine species range data to better serve science and conservation
Species distribution data provide the foundation for a wide range of ecological research studies and conservation management decisions. Two major efforts to provide marine species distributions at a global scale are the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which provides expert-generated range maps that outline the complete extent of a species' distribution; and AquaMaps, whic...
متن کاملIs Marine Conservation Science Becoming Irrelevant to Policy Makers?
The use of science in policy-making has declined dramatically around the world. One of the most obvious examples of scientific neglect is the refusal of many U.S. politicians to accept anthropogenic climate change despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. While over 97% of scientists recognize the global threat posed by human climate forcing (Oreskes, 2004a; Doran and Zimmerman,...
متن کاملConservation benefits of an interdisciplinary approach to marine mammal science
Protected resource economists can greatly enhance the science and conservation of marine mammals, however such contributions are often hampered by a lack of understanding of the role of natural resource economics on behalf of more traditional marinemammal scientists. The threemajor threats to marinemammals—fishery bycatch, increasing underwater sound, and climate change could be more effectivel...
متن کاملSpecies distribution modelling to support marine conservation planning
Species distribution modelling to support marine conservation planning Charlotte Emily Marshall This thesis explores some important practical considerations concerning the use of species distribution models in marine conservation planning. Using geo-referenced gorgonian distribution data, together with explanatory environmental variables, predictive models have been used to map the spatial dist...
متن کاملBridging for Better Conservation Fit in Indonesia's Coastal-Marine Systems
Efforts to improve the fit between conservation initiatives (e.g., marine protected areas, no-take zones) and the dynamic social dimensions of coastal-marine systems remain underdeveloped. We empirically illustrate here how opportunities to enhance “conservation fit” are influenced by bridging organizations that serve to (1) better align conservation initiatives with characteristics of the soci...
