Methods to evaluate strategies reduce the risk of vessels striking whales are needed balance species protections with economic consequences. Previously used simplistic methods do not include important elements vessel-strike risk. More complex often parameters that have been estimated for whales. Additionally, whale and vessel metrics in all because they may lead biases reductions. We build a simple metric, Total PLETHd, from three components: (1) relationship between speed probability strike...
Abstract Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a widely‐used tool for conserving biodiversity. Features that support marine mammal foraging have been suggested as important components to include in MPAs, but research is needed understand the relationship between these features and diversity. For example, Northeast Canyons Seamounts National Monument represents an area known was designated protect of high However, no comparisons made diversity other areas. We used 3,174,167 km survey effort...
The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument (NEC&SMNM) was designated by President Barack Obama in 2016, using his authority under the Antiquities Act of 1906. allows a to proclaim as national monuments “historic landmarks, historic prehistoric structures, other objects or scientific interest” that are “upon lands owned controlled” United States but reserve each designation “the smallest area compatible with proper care management be protected.” Protection general excludes...
One of today’s greatest conservation challenges is balancing policies, laws, and management strategies established to achieve economic goals that depend on extracting ocean resources with those conserve marine biodiversity. We use the Northeast Canyons Seamounts Marine National Monument (NCSM) as a case study explore consequences changing from policy prevents fishing fisheries policy. found opening NCSM commercial reduces species protections. Fishing pelagic bottom tending fixed gear exposes...
