Demographic responses to protection from harvesting in a long-lived marine species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2021.109094
Abstract: Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are usually considered to have positive effects on the recovery of over-exploited populations. However, resolving the extent to which MPAs function according to their conservation goals requires that essential demographic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rsma.2019.100893
Abstract: Abstract Changes in structure and function of coral reefs are increasingly significant and few sites in the Caribbean can tolerate local and global stress factors. Therefore, we assessed coral reef condition indicators in reefs within… read more here.

Size, age, and habitat determine effectiveness of Palau's Marine Protected Areas
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0174787
Abstract: Palau has a rich heritage of conservation that has evolved from the traditional moratoria on fishing, or “bul”, to more western Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), while still retaining elements of customary management and tenure. In… read more here.
