Journal ArticleDOI
Critical science gaps impede use of no-take fishery reserves
Peter F. Sale,Robert K. Cowen,Bret S. Danilowicz,Geoffrey P. Jones,Jacob P. Kritzer,Kenyon C. Lindeman,Serge Planes,Nicholas Polunin,Garry R. Russ,Yvonne Sadovy,Robert S. Steneck +10 more
TL;DR: The science is reviewed, the most crucial gaps are identified, and ways to fill them are suggested so that a promising management tool can help meet the growing challenges faced by coastal marine fisheries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larval retention and connectivity among populations of corals and reef fishes: history, advances and challenges
Geoffrey P. Jones,Glenn R. Almany,Garry R. Russ,Peter F. Sale,Robert S. Steneck,M. J. H. van Oppen,Bette L. Willis +6 more
TL;DR: A recent dramatic increase in research effort and a growing diversity of approaches to the study of larval retention within (self-recruitment) and dispersal among (connectivity) isolated coral reef populations are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decadal trends in marine reserves reveal differential rates of change in direct and indirect effects
Russell C. Babcock,Nick T. Shears,Angel C. Alcala,Neville S. Barrett,Graham J. Edgar,Kevin D. Lafferty,Tim R. McClanahan,Garry R. Russ +7 more
TL;DR: Populations of directly targeted species were more stable in reserves than in fished areas, suggesting increased ecologic resilience, an important benefit of marine reserves with respect to their function as a tool for conservation and restoration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larval Export from Marine Reserves and the Recruitment Benefit for Fish and Fisheries
Hugo B. Harrison,Hugo B. Harrison,David H. Williamson,Richard D. Evans,Richard D. Evans,Glenn R. Almany,Simon R. Thorrold,Garry R. Russ,Kevin A. Feldheim,Lynne van Herwerden,Serge Planes,Maya Srinivasan,Michael L. Berumen,Michael L. Berumen,Geoffrey P. Jones +14 more
TL;DR: Using genetic parentage analyses, patterns of larval dispersal for two species of exploited coral reef fish within a network of marine reserves on the Great Barrier Reef are resolved and provide compelling evidence that adequately protected reserve networks can make a significant contribution to the replenishment of populations on both reserve and fished reefs at a scale that benefits local stakeholders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive management of the Great Barrier Reef: A globally significant demonstration of the benefits of networks of marine reserves
Laurence J. McCook,Tony Ayling,Mike Cappo,J. Howard Choat,Richard D. Evans,Débora M. de Freitas,Michelle R. Heupel,Terry P. Hughes,Geoffrey P. Jones,Bruce D. Mapstone,Helene Marsh,Morena Mills,Fergus Molloy,C. Roland Pitcher,Robert L. Pressey,Garry R. Russ,Stephen Sutton,Hugh Sweatman,Renae Tobin,David Wachenfeld,David H. Williamson +20 more
TL;DR: Comprehensive review of available evidence shows major, rapid benefits of no-take areas for targeted fish and sharks, in both reef and nonreef habitats, with potential benefits for fisheries as well as biodiversity conservation.
