Can biomanipulation of the sea rescue a collapsed fishery?
in Research Briefs | Feb 25, 2010
Research Briefs | Feb 25, 2010 The cod stock in the Baltic Sea collapsed in the 1990s because of overfishing and climate change, and this once-valuable fishery has not yet recovered. Could intensified harvesting of sprat—a small fish that eats cod eggs and competes with young cod for planktonic food—be the solution to restore cod, as some people suggest?

Species vulnerability to climate change: sharks and sting rays in the Great Barrier Reef
in Research Briefs | Feb 8, 2010
Research Briefs | Feb 8, 2010 Scientists have developed an innovative model for predicting the vulnerability of multiple species in a geographic area to climate change. They tested the model on sharks and sting rays in the Great Barrier though the approach really is applicable to a wide range of ecosystems...

Fishing, climate change not double trouble for corals
in Research Briefs | Jan 27, 2010
Research Briefs | Jan 27, 2010 Do fishing and climate change act synergistically on coral reef ecosystems, meaning the combined impact is greater than the sum of each acting individually? Conservation practitioners have expressed this concern, but synergism in ecosystems has been challenging to prove scientifically...

Protected areas lead to long term transformation of marine ecosystems
in Research Briefs | Dec 29, 2009
Research Briefs | Dec 29, 2009 Results from a new study in Australia affirm the ability of "no take" marine protected areas to aid the recovery of overfished ecosystems. Researchers found that the reefs within three marine protected areas off eastern Tasmania transformed over time into communities not otherwise seen in the regional seascape, and these changes intensified for at least 16 years...
