TL;DR: This work presents size, spacing, location, and configuration guidelines for designing networks that simultaneously can enhance biological conservation and reduce fishery costs or even increase fishery yields and profits.

TL;DR: This study advances the ability to interpret population structure from complex genetic data characteristic of high gene flow species, validates recent advances in oceanographic approaches for assessing larval dispersal and represents a novel approach to characterize population connectivity at small spatial scales germane to conservation and fisheries management.

TL;DR: The framework is used to assess potential conflicts among offshore wind energy, commercial fishing, and whale-watching sectors in Massachusetts and identify and quantify the value from choosing optimal wind farm designs that minimize conflicts among these sectors.

TL;DR: This article argues that modelers should abandon frequentist statistical hypothesis tests applied to simulation model output as a misuse of statistical theory, and encourages instead a focus on the magnitude of differences between simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, an ecosystem service tradeoff analysis framework is presented for marine spatial planning and marine ecosystem-based management, which can reveal inferior management options, demonstrate the benefits of comprehensive planning for multiple interacting services over managing single services, and identify compatible services that provide win-win management options.
