Biodiversity Offsets: A Cost-Effective Interim Solution to Seabird Bycatch in Fisheries?
The concept of biodiversity offsets is well established as an approach to environmental management. The concept has been suggested for environmental management in fisheries, particularly in relation to the substantial numbers of non-target species--seabirds in particular--caught and killed as incidental bycatch during fishing activities. Substantial areas of fisheries are being closed to protec...

متن کاملCompensatory mitigation as a solution to fisheries bycatch–biodiversity conservation conflicts
© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org G fisheries provide approximately 16% of all protein consumed by humans, employ about 200 million people, and are valued at US$82 billion (Botsford et al. 1997; FAO Fisheries Department 2004). Eight percent, or 7.2 million tons, of the global catch is comprised of non-target species and discarded, and this mortality is having major ...
متن کاملNeed for a clear and fair evaluation of biodiversity offsets for fisheries bycatch.
Žydelis et al. (2009 [this issue]) is a direct critique of 2 recent papers we published on the use of biodiversity offsets in managing fisheries bycatch (Wilcox & Donlan 2007; Donlan & Wilcox 2008). The authors misrepresent the use of biodiversity offsets as we presented them, misunderstand the policy objectives of fisheries (and bycatch) management, present a flawed analysis of the appropriate...
متن کاملSmall-Scale Fisheries Bycatch Jeopardizes Endangered Pacific Loggerhead Turtles
BACKGROUND Although bycatch of industrial-scale fisheries can cause declines in migratory megafauna including seabirds, marine mammals, and sea turtles, the impacts of small-scale fisheries have been largely overlooked. Small-scale fisheries occur in coastal waters worldwide, employing over 99% of the world's 51 million fishers. New telemetry data reveal that migratory megafauna frequent coasta...
