Integrating diverse stakeholder knowledge in recreational fisheries decision making Integrating diverse stakeholder knowledge in recreational fisheries decision making

Scientists and policymakers increasingly recognize that recreational fisheries decision making should in some way involve the knowledge of affected stakeholders. There are myriad studies about integrating stakeholder knowledge, but they span broad disciplines and topics. Lacking is (i) simple taxonomies that organize general approaches for integrating knowledge, and (ii) a review and...

Adaptive management for recreational fisheries decisions in the face of uncertainty Adaptive management for recreational fisheries decisions in the face of uncertainty

Recreational fisheries management requires making decisions that consider social, economic, and ecological dimensions. The feedbacks among ecological changes and social responses by fishers create complexity and uncertainty. However, uncertainty can impede the integration of ecological and social dimensions, particularly when considering human behavioural responses to management...

An exploration of open-system uranium-series history of marine terrace corals, Perachora Peninsula, Greece and San Nicolas Island, California, USA An exploration of open-system uranium-series history of marine terrace corals, Perachora Peninsula, Greece and San Nicolas Island, California, USA

Emergent marine terraces record past periods of relatively high sea level and are common on uplifting coasts worldwide. Such landforms are extensive around the Gulf of Corinth area of Greece and along the coast of California, USA. In the Gulf of Corinth region, marine terraces record Quaternary uplift due to ongoing basin extension on the northern side of the Africa-Eurasia-Aegean Sea...

Rising rates of wildfire building destruction in the conterminous United States Rising rates of wildfire building destruction in the conterminous United States

Many regions of the world have seen an increase in highly destructive wildfires, driven by well-documented increases in burned area and growth of housing in the wildland–urban interface (WUI), which exposes more homes to fire. However, it is unclear whether wildfires are also becoming more destructive due to changes in wildfire behavior or in the development patterns of exposed...

Data standardization and management to facilitate large-scale and interdisciplinary approaches access Data standardization and management to facilitate large-scale and interdisciplinary approaches access

Bringing data related to recreational fishers and fisheries together across large scales can provide tremendous insight. Methods for collecting, analysing, and storing data can vary dramatically, which can have significant implications for the use of these data. Efforts to standardise data within organisations often increase the ability to compare datasets from different areas, monitor...

Effects of ungulate browsing on forest assisted migration strategies to conserve ecosystem function Effects of ungulate browsing on forest assisted migration strategies to conserve ecosystem function

Forest managers recognize that proactive management strategies, such as forest assisted migration (FAM) of tree species, intended to accelerate the pace of forest adaptation, may be necessary to maintain resilient forests and combat the stressors of climate change. However, the impact of interactions between climate change and ungulate browsers of trees, both of which have profound...
