Abstract Quantitative assessment of the spatial patterns all human uses oceans and their cumulative effects is needed for implementing ecosystem‐based management, marine protected areas, ocean zoning. Here, we apply methods developed to map impacts globally California Current using more comprehensive higher‐quality data 25 activities 19 ecosystems. This analysis indicates where protection threat mitigation are most in reveals that coastal ecosystems near high population density continental...
As resource management and conservation efforts move toward multi‐sector, ecosystem‐based approaches, we need methods for comparing the varying responses of ecosystems to impacts human activities in order prioritize efforts, allocate limited resources, understand cumulative effects. Given number variety affecting ecosystems, relatively few empirical studies are adequately comprehensive inform these decisions. Consequently, often turns expert judgment information. Drawing on from decision...
Concerns over fishing impacts on marine populations and ecosystems have intensified the need to improve ocean management. One increasingly popular market-based instrument for ecological stewardship is use of certification eco-labeling programs highlight sustainable fisheries with low environmental impacts. The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) most prominent these programs. Despite widespread discussions about rigor MSC standards, no comprehensive analysis performance MSC-certified fish...
Internal waves of depression were observed propagating along-shelf and into northern Monterey Bay, California (CA) on the inner shelf. These had amplitudes approximately equal to thermocline depth (∼4 m), unstable shear mix thermocline. Isopycnal gradient spectra showed that wave packets lead an elevated mean dissipation rate ɛ = 2.63 × 10−5 m3 s−2 for up 2 hours after passage. The proximity surface created strong convergences can actively transport buoyant material, such as plankton, back...
Understanding spatio-temporal variability in the demography of harvested species is essential to improve sustainability, especially if there large geographic variation demography. Reproductive patterns commonly vary spatially, which particularly important for management "roe"-based fisheries, since profits depend on both number and reproductive condition individuals. The red sea urchin, Mesocentrotus franciscanus, California its roe (gonad), sold domestic international sushi markets. primary...
