Catastrophe Management and Inter-Reserve Distance for Marine Reserve Networks
We consider the optimal spacing between marine reserves for maximising the viability of a species occupying a reserve network. The closer the networks are placed together, the higher the probability of colonisation of an empty reserve by an occupied reserve, thus increasing population viability. However, the closer the networks are placed together, the higher the probability that a catastrophe ...
متن کاملDesigning marine reserve networks for both conservation and fisheries management.
Marine protected areas (MPAs) that exclude fishing have been shown repeatedly to enhance the abundance, size, and diversity of species. These benefits, however, mean little to most marine species, because individual protected areas typically are small. To meet the larger-scale conservation challenges facing ocean ecosystems, several nations are expanding the benefits of individual protected are...
متن کاملMatching marine reserve design to reserve objectives.
Recent interest in using marine reserves for marine resource management and conservation has largely been driven by the hope that reserves might counteract declines in fish populations and protect the biodiversity of the seas. However, the creation of reserves has led to dissension from some interested groups, such as fishermen, who fear that reserves will do more harm than good. These perceive...
متن کاملMarine Geomorphology in the Design of Marine Reserve Networks
Marine environments, key life-support systems for the earth, are under severe threat. Issues associated with managing these common property resources are complex and interrelated. Networks of marine reserves can be valuable for mitigating threats to marine systems, yet the successful design and implementation of such networks has been limited. Efficient ways to conserve marine environments are ...

and ill. But it was an " absenteeism that would see him through the next stormy decade, " wrote Desmond and Moore as the publication of the Origin of Species caused a storm. While the meeting went on, Darwin and his wife, Emma, were burying their son, Charles, in the parish churchyard. And Darwin was relieved at the silence following the Linnean Society paper and sped ahead with his work. He fe...
