Conservation and Commerce: Managing Small‐Scale Fisheries for Ecological and Livelihood Benefits Open
Delivering both social and ecological outcomes is regarded as essential for conservation actions to be effective, particularly in regions where Indigenous Peoples (IPs) and local communities (LCs) depend heavily on natural resources. In th…
Contributions of small‐scale and longline fishing to sea turtle mortality in the Solomon Islands Open
A focus of sea turtle management has been reducing bycatch in commercial fisheries, but sustainable harvest for consumption is also an important objective in many nations. Identifying how much different fisheries contribute to turtle morta…
Dispersal patterns of sandfish (Holothuria scabra) larvae in Manus Province, Papua New Guinea Open
In many tropical nations, coastal communities seek to manage their sea cucumber fisheries by establishing locally managed marine areas on their traditional fishing grounds. These managed areas can protect spawning stocks, however the exten…
Freedivers harvest thousands of sea turtles a year in the Solomon Islands Open
Sea turtles are harvested in many small‐scale fisheries (SSFs), but few nations have quantified the impacts that SSFs are having on their sea turtle stocks. This study provides the first assessment on the catch composition, national harves…

Variation in the Physiological Condition of Common Coral Trout (Plectropomus leopardus) Unrelated to Coral Cover on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia Open
There are a wide variety of fishes that occur exclusively on coral reefs, though it is unclear to what extent these species (especially larger-bodied fisheries target species) are reliant on the specific reef habitat provided by corals. Th…
Larval dispersal and fishing pressure influence recruitment in a coral reef fishery Open
Understanding larval connectivity patterns in exploited fishes is a fundamental prerequisite for developing effective management strategies and assessing the vulnerability of a fishery to recruitment overfishing and localised extinction. T…
Satellite tracking improves conservation outcomes for nesting hawksbill turtles in Solomon Islands Open
The remote tracking of endangered animals is often justified by the application of movement data to conservation problems, but examples of where scientific findings have rapidly informed conservation actions are relatively rare. In this st…
Investigating spatial aspects of the community-based management of a small-scale artisanal grouper fishery Open
Fisheries are increasingly understood as complex social-ecological systems (Folke 2006). Fisheries management thus requires an understanding of key processes that underpin both the resource (i.e., fish) and the resource users (i.e., fisher…
Restricted grouper reproductive migrations support community-based management Open
Conservation commonly requires trade-offs between social and ecological goals. For tropical small-scale fisheries, spatial scales of socially appropriate management are generally small—the median no-take locally managed marine area (LMMA) …
