The world's oceans supply food and livelihood to billions of people, yet species' shifting geographic ranges changes in productivity arising from climate change are expected profoundly affect these benefits. We ask how improvements fishery management can offset the negative consequences change; we find that answer hinges on current status stocks. poor many stocks combined with potentially maladaptive responses range shifts could reduce future global fisheries yields profits even more...
Although climate change is altering the productivity and distribution of marine fisheries, climate-adaptive fisheries management could mitigate many negative impacts on human society. We forecast global biomass, catch, profits to 2100 under three scenarios (RCPs 4.5, 6.0, 8.5) five levels reform (1) determine impact national (2) quantify national-scale benefits implementing reforms. Management reforms accounting for shifting distributions would yield higher catch in future relative today...
Any fishery management scheme, such as individual fishing quotas (IFQs) or marine protected areas, should be designed to robust potential shifts in the biophysical system. Here we couple possible catch scenarios under an IFQ scheme with ocean acidification impacts on shelled benthos and plankton, using Atlantis ecosystem model for US West Coast. harvest alone, most cases, did not have strong food web, beyond direct effects harvested species. However, when added of acidification, abundance...
Abstract Management and technical approaches that achieve a sustainable level of fish production while at the same time minimizing or limiting wider ecological effects caused through fishing gear contact with seabed might be considered to ‘best practice’. To identify future knowledge‐needs would help support transition towards adoption best practices for trawling, prioritization exercise was undertaken group 39 practitioners from seafood industry management, 13 research scientists who have...
As linked social-ecological systems, evaluating the socioeconomic outcomes of fisheries management is essential to understanding fishery performance. While a number tools have been developed in recent years evaluate social and economic fisheries, many require extensive data collection, making them difficult implement on large scale, while others rely existing data, limiting their applicability data-limited fisheries. Additionally, objectives are likely differ substantially between different...
Abstract Fisheries are critically important for nutrition, food security, livelihoods, and culture of hundreds millions people globally. As climate impacts on ocean ecosystems increase, policy-makers asking critical questions about how to implement reforms at local national levels reach goals around improving performance management systems, sustainability, equity, resilience change. These can be achieved by enhancing the structure, function, biodiversity marine as change proceeds, together...
Abstract European fisheries are at a critical juncture. The confluence of political change and environmental change, along with the challenges past Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reforms such as landing obligation, creates once in generation opportunity for paradigm shift management region. This paper sets out series arguments why status quo situation governance Union fisheries, especially shared Northeast Atlantic is very likely unsustainable under these new circumstances. At stake...
Managing natural resources under large-scale environmental fluctuations like the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is likely to become increasingly important climate change. Forecasts of conditions are improving, but best response an unfavorable forecast remains unclear; many practitioners advocate reducing harvest as a more precautionary approach, while prior economic theory favors increasing harvest. Using logistic and age-structured fisheries models, we show that informational...
