Abstract

Planning for Change: Assessing the Potential Role of Marine Protected Areas and Fisheries Management Approaches for Resilience Management in a Changing Ocean

Highlights

  • Continued progress in fisheries management and a growing commitment to ecosystem-based management have led to recent numerous policy, management, and conservation successes

  • To move resilience from an ecological concept in science to a set of evidence-based management tools for marine ecosystems, we argue that we must first (1) identify tractable management actions affecting factors demonstrated to promote resilience, and (2) test and document the effectiveness of these resilience mechanisms to relevant global change drivers at the appropriate scales

  • These pieces of information are critically needed for resilience management to be a viable option for sciencemanagement partnerships

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Continued progress in fisheries management and a growing commitment to ecosystem-based management have led to recent numerous policy, management, and conservation successes. To move resilience from an ecological concept in science to a set of evidence-based management tools for marine ecosystems, we argue that we must first (1) identify tractable management actions affecting factors demonstrated to promote resilience, and (2) test and document the effectiveness of these resilience mechanisms to relevant global change drivers at the appropriate scales. These pieces of information are critically needed for resilience management to be a viable option for sciencemanagement partnerships.
