Biodiversity considerations in conservation system planning: Map-based approach for Nova Scotia, Canada

Article Abstract:

An example of the three-track approach in practice, including the methods, data sets and analytical tools employed that may be of general relevance for application in other regions is discussed. The system design is useful for local and regional biodiversity conservation planning and management and the methodological approach can be used in other regions where the necessary field-based data may be made available.

Kelp forest fish populations in marine reserves and adjacent exploited areas of central California

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that fishing pressure has a significant impact on rockfish populations, in a comparison of marine reserves and proximate areas of exploitation. Rockfish population density and size distribution were greater in marine reserves, producing a substantially larger biomass and thereby augmenting reproductive potential.
