Characterizing Fishing Effort and Spatial Extent of Coastal Fisheries
Biodiverse coastal zones are often areas of intense fishing pressure due to the high relative density of fishing capacity in these nearshore regions. Although overcapacity is one of the central challenges to fisheries sustainability in coastal zones, accurate estimates of fishing pressure in coastal zones are limited, hampering the assessment of the direct and collateral impacts (e.g., habitat ...
متن کامل‘Fishing down marine food webs’ and spatial expansion of coastal fisheries in India, 1950–2000
The worldwide crisis of fisheries, which are usually managed on a single species basis, has led to calls for ‘ecosystem management’, along with he development of various ecosystem indicators. The Marine Trophic Index (MTI) and the related Fishing-in-Balance (FiB) index are two such ndicators, which can be used to draw inferences on the sustainability of fisheries, notably those targeting high-t...
متن کاملSpatial assessment of fishing effort around European marine reserves: implications for successful fisheries management.
We examined the spatial dynamic of artisanal fishing fleets around five European marine protected areas (MPAs) to derive general implications for the evaluation of MPAs as fisheries management tools. The coastal MPAs studied were located off France, Malta and Spain and presented a variety of spatial designs and processes of establishment. We developed a standardized methodology to define factor...
متن کاملThe Use of Gis to Analyse the Spatial Distribution of Fishing Effort in Coastal Fishery
Based on two models focussing on the analysis of the spatial components of the fishing effort distribution, we present a global approach which has been formalised in order to develop a computerized simulation tool called FAST (Fishing Activity Simulation Tool), distributed as an extension of ESRI ArcView GIS Software. FAST defines a logical framework under which the knowledge about fishing effo...
متن کاملCombining participatory and socioeconomic approaches to map fishing effort in small-scale fisheries
Mapping the spatial allocation of fishing effort while including key stakeholders in the decision making process is essential for effective fisheries management but is difficult to implement in complex small-scale fisheries that are diffuse, informal and multifaceted. Here we present a standardized but flexible approach that combines participatory mapping approaches (fishers' spatial preference...
