Small-Scale Fisheries Are Predominant Among Human Factors Influencing Cuban Coral Reefs Open
Coral reefs provide environmental goods and services that support biodiversity and people but face diverse threats. To assess the human factors that might be influencing the status of Cuban coral reefs, we collected and analyzed data from …

An analytical approach to explore prospects and limits of nutrition-sensitive fisheries governance under climate change Open
Researchers and policymakers increasingly recognize the contribution of aquatic food systems, such as fisheries, to food security and nutrition. Yet governing fisheries for nutrition objectives is complicated by the multiple overlapping pr…

The nutritional value of invertebrate aquatic foods Open
Aquatic invertebrates are a diverse, nutrient-dense, and socio-ecologically important food whose contribution to human nutrition is frequently overlooked. We quantify their contribution to global nutrient supplies and estimate the nutrient…

Navigating concepts of social-ecological resilience in marine fisheries under climate change: shared challenges and recommendations from the northeast United States Open
Climate change is increasingly impacting marine fisheries worldwide. Concurrently, scientific interest has grown to understand how these systems can cope and adapt, with research shifting from examining vulnerability to assessing risks to …
Diverse pathways for climate resilience in marine fishery systems Open
Both the ecological and social dimensions of fisheries are being affected by climate change. As a result, policymakers, managers, scientists and fishing communities are seeking guidance on how to holistically build resilience to climate ch…

Climate resilience and risks of rigidity traps in Iceland’s fisheries Open
Iceland's fisheries system is well-governed, data-rich, and has adapted to past ecological change. It thus provides an opportunity to identify social-ecological attributes of climate resilience and interactions among them. We elicited barr…

The Role of Coral Reef Small-Scale Fisheries for Addressing Malnutrition and Avoiding Biodiversity Loss: A Vibrant Oceans Initiative Whitepaper Open
Integrated management of coral reef foods, as a highly diverse set of blue foods, can contribute to addressing the dual challenges of malnutrition and biodiversity loss. Advances in nutrition research have made it possible to understand nu…
Attributes of climate resilience in fisheries: From theory to practice Open
In a changing climate, there is an imperative to build coupled social‐ecological systems—including fisheries—that can withstand or adapt to climate stressors. Although resilience theory identifies system attributes that supposedly confer r…
Projecting climate-driven shifts in demersal fish thermal habitat in Iceland's waters Open
As climate change shifts marine species distribution and abundance worldwide, projecting local changes over decadal scales may be an adaptive strategy for managers and industry. In Iceland, one of the top fish-producing nations globally, l…
Projecting climate-driven shifts in demersal fish habitat in Iceland’s waters Open
As climate change shifts marine species distribution and abundance worldwide, projecting local changes over decadal scales may be a valuable adaptive strategy for managers and industry. In Iceland, one of the top fish-producing nations in …
Fishers' solutions for hammerhead shark conservation in Peru Open
Filling ecological and social data gaps for small-scale fisheries is crucial for global conservation of shark species. In 2016, international protection of vulnerable smooth hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna zygaena) resulted in a seasonal fishin…
Issue Information Open
Assessing habitat and climate change impacts on grassland birds of North America is the focus of papers
Convergence of fishers' knowledge with a species distribution model in a Peruvian shark fishery Open
Limited data on the spatial, environmental, and human dimensions of small‐scale fisheries hinder conservation planning, so the incorporation of fishers' local ecological knowledge may be a valuable way to fill data gaps while legitimizing …
Community-level effects of spatial management in the California drift gillnet Fishery Open
Fisheries management interventions that protect certain species by redistributing fishing effort may generate unintended consequences for other species. In the California drift gillnet fishery for swordfish and sharks, a large spatial clos…
Committing to socially responsible seafood Open
Seafood is the world's most internationally traded food commodity. Approximately three out of every seven people globally rely on seafood as a primary source of animal protein (1). Revelations about slavery and labor rights abuses in fishe…
Ocean Research Priorities: Similarities and Differences among Scientists, Policymakers, and Fishermen in the United States Open
Understanding and solving complex ocean conservation problems requires cooperation not just among scientific disciplines but also across sectors. A recently published survey that probed research priorities of marine scientists, when provid…
