In the Western Indian Ocean (WIO), local communities are increasingly assuming responsibility for inshore marine resources either on their own or through collaborative management arrangements with governments non-state actors. this paper, we trace evolution and expansion of community in WIO present first ever inventory assessment region's locally managed areas (LMMAs). We compare key attributes these to those under government stewardship assess relative contributions progress towards...
Recent studies have shown that coastal and shelf cephalopod populations increased globally over the last six decades. Although landings are dominated by squid fishery, which represents nearly 80% of worldwide catches, octopuses cuttlefishes represent ∼10% each. Total reported global production past three decades indicates a relatively steady increase in catch, almost doubling from 179,042 t 1980 to 355,239 2014. Octopus fisheries likely continue grow importance magnitude as many finfish...
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) and freshwater (FPAs), collectively aquatic (APAs), share many commonalities in their design, establishment, management, suggesting great potential for sharing lessons learned. However, surprisingly little has been exchanged to date, both realms of inquiry practice have progressed mostly independent each other. This paper builds on a session held at the 7 th World Fisheries Congress Busan, South Korea, May 2016, which explored crossover between marine...
Tropical cyclones can cause severe destruction of coral reefs with ecological consequences for reef fish communities.
