DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2017.04.003
Abstract: Abstract Marine reserves are used as a management tool to conserve biodiversity and maintain ecological processes essential to ecosystem function. Grazing by herbivorous fish contributes to maintaining resilient reefs and marine reserves are important in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1708001115
Abstract: Significance Marine reserves that prohibit fishing are a critical tool for sustaining coral reef ecosystems, yet it remains unclear how human impacts in surrounding areas affect the capacity of marine reserves to deliver key conservation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08920753.2020.1732800
Abstract: Abstract This article examines public values and attitudes associated with the current marine reserves (MRs) in Oregon (United States), and how attitudes might change if these areas were to be designated as marine wilderness. Data… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.12460
Abstract: Current debates about the efficacy of no‐take marine reserves (MR) in protecting large pelagic fish such as tuna and sharks have usually not considered the evolutionary dimension of this issue, which emerges because the propensity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15635
Abstract: Abstract Marine reserves are a key tool for the conservation of marine biodiversity, yet only ~2.5% of the world's oceans are protected. The integration of marine reserves into connected networks representing all habitats has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0218651
Abstract: Community marine reserves are geographical areas closed to fishing activities, implemented and enforced by the same fishermen that fish around them. Their main objective is to recover commercial stocks of fish and invertebrates. While marine… read more here.

Impacts of TURFs and marine reserves on fisheries and conservation goals: theory, empirical evidence, and modeling
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Bulletin of Marine Science"
DOI: 10.5343/bms.2015.1083
Abstract: Unsustainable fishing in marine systems creates fisheries management and conservation challenges, with implications for ecosystem health, livelihoods, economies, and seafood supply. Thus there is a need for management approaches that can support productive fisheries and… read more here.
