Abstract Risk assessments quantify the probability of undesirable events along with their consequences. They are used to prioritize management interventions and assess tradeoffs, serving as an essential component ecosystem‐based (). A central objective most risk for conservation is characterize uncertainty impacts associated one or more pressures interest. have been in marine resource help evaluate environmental, ecological, anthropogenic on species habitats including data‐poor fisheries...
Projecting the future distributions of commercially and ecologically important species has become a critical approach for ecosystem managers to strategically anticipate change, but large uncertainties in projections limit climate adaptation planning. Although distribution are primarily used understand scope potential change-rather than accurately predict specific outcomes-it is nonetheless essential where why can give implausible results identify which processes contribute uncertainty. Here,...
Abstract The oceans are changing more rapidly than ever before. Unprecedented climatic variability is interacting with unmistakable long‐term trends, all against a backdrop of intensifying human activities. What remains unclear, however, how to evaluate whether conditions have changed sufficiently provoke major responses species, habitats, and communities. We developed framework based on multimodel inference define ecosystem‐based thresholds for environmental pressures in the California...
Climate change drives species distribution shifts, affecting the availability of resources people rely upon for food and livelihoods. These impacts are complex, manifest at local scales, have diverse effects across multiple species. However, wild capture fisheries, current understanding is dominated by predictions individual coarse spatial scales. We show that species-specific responses to localized environmental changes will alter collection co-occurring within established fishing...
Introduction Understanding how abundance, productivity and distribution of individual species may respond to climate change is a critical first step towards anticipating alterations in marine ecosystem structure function, as well developing strategies adapt the full range potential changes.

From fishers to farmers, people across the planet who rely directly upon natural resources for their livelihoods and well-being face extensive impacts from climate change. However, local- regional-scale associated risks can vary geographically, implications development of adaptation pathways that will be most effective specific communities are underexplored. To improve this understanding at relevant local scales, we developed a coupled social-ecological approach assess risk posed fishing...
The West Coast of the U.S. has a vast offshore wind energy (OWE) electricity generation potential with value on order billions USD, and pressure is mounting to develop large OWE projects. However, this seascape numerous existing resource extraction uses, including multi-billion dollar commercial fishing industry, which create for conflict. To date, spatially explicit comparisons fisheries have not been done, but are essential marine spatial planning investigating tradeoffs development uses....
Abstract As global climate change and anthropogenic activities amplify widespread environmental variability, there is a strong need for management strategies that incorporate relationships between ecosystem components. This especially apparent when changes in drivers cause threshold responses (abrupt, nonlinear changes) ecosystems. Such ecological thresholds can provide useful reference points decisions. However, methods detecting empirical datasets may fail to find an existing threshold,...

Ecosystem-based management (EBM) in marine ecosystems considers impacts caused by complex interactions between environmental and anthropogenic pressures (i.e. oceanographic, climatic, socio-economic) communities. EBM depends, part, on ecological indicators that facilitate understanding of inherent properties the dynamics within Thresholds delineate ecosystem status because they represent points at which a small increase one or many pressure variables results an abrupt change responses. The...
Background Understanding movement patterns is fundamental to population and conservation biology. The way an animal moves through its environment influences the dynamics of local populations will determine how susceptible it natural or anthropogenic perturbations. It particular interest understand for species which are human activities (e.g. fishing), that exert a large influence on community structure, such as sharks. Methodology/Principal Findings We monitored 34 sixgill sharks Hexanchus...

Abstract Delimiting intraspecific genetic variation in harvested species is crucial to the assessment of population status for natural resource management and conservation purposes. Here, we evaluated structure lingcod ( Ophiodon elongatus ), a commercially recreationally important fishery along west coast North America. We used 16,749 restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) markers, 611 individuals collected from across bulk range Southeast Alaska Baja California, Mexico. In...
Understanding the movements of species, particularly those that may exert strong influence on community structure or be susceptible to human perturbations, is critical effectively conserve and manage populations. However, study movement behavior in marine fishes has been historically difficult typically produces a limited amount data (i.e., start end points). We use an array automated acoustic receivers monitor autumn winter patterns sixgill sharks ( Hexanchus griseus (Bonnaterre, 1788))...
The detailed movements of 32 acoustically tagged broadnose sevengill shark Notorynchus cepedianus were documented in and around north-east Pacific Ocean estuarine embayments from 2005 to 2007. Arrangements passive acoustic receivers allowed analysis movement at several spatial scales, with sex size examined as possible factors influencing the pattern timing these movements. exhibited a distinctly seasonal estuary use over three consecutive years, entering Willapa Bay spring, residing therein...
Science-based natural resource management is necessary for agencies to effectively meet their goals and mandates. However, this scientific basis needs be advanced evolved with ecosystems experiencing unprecedented events that challenge conventional frameworks. Effectively managing marine resources achieving agency missions requires more than meeting independent mandates individual as chronic stressors overwhelm Global science organizations are transitioning interdisciplinary holistic...
Abstract Kelp forests are in decline across much of their range due to place‐specific combinations local and global stressors. Declines kelp abundance can lead cascading losses biodiversity productivity with far‐reaching ecological socioeconomic consequences. The Salish Sea is a hotspot diversity where many species provide critical habitat food for commercially, ecologically, culturally important fish invertebrate species. However, like other regions, the rapid decline. Data gaps limited...
