TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize data on numbers of fishers, participation rates, days fished, expenditures, and catches of two widely targeted species were synthesized to provide European estimates of recreational fishing and placed in the global context.

TL;DR: One of the northernmost documentations of MPA effects to date is presented, demonstrated by a replicated before–after control-impact (BACI) approach, and illustrates the importance of a replicated BACI design for reaching robust conclusions and management decisions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the views of scientists, managers and fishers concerning the quality of communication in eleven case studies of recreational fisheries and identify common reasons why communication did not always flow as intended.

TL;DR: In this article, a workshop of over 100 participants, balanced between fisheries management and biodiversity conservation backgrounds, reviewed and synthesised experiences regarding policy and institutional frameworks for use of MPAs in the contexts of fisheries management, and concluded that although fisheries managers and conservation agencies may give differing and sometimes opposing weights to the many objectives that could be set for MPAs, only 25% of fisheries objectives and 30% of biodiversity objectives were considered to be potential sources of conflict.

TL;DR: The fishery for the nationally red-listed European lobster (Homarus gammarus) in south-eastern Norway is investigated, showing the need for adequate catch monitoring and data collection efforts in coastal areas, and the potential impact of recreational fisheries.
