Supporting Online Material for Fishing, Trophic Cascades, and the Process of Grazing on Coral Reefs
Peter J. Mumby,Craig P. Dahlgren,Alastair R. Harborne,Carrie V. Kappel,Daniel R. Brumbaugh,Katherine E. Holmes,Judith M. Mendes,Kenneth Broad,James N. Sanchirico,Kevin Buch,Steve Box,Richard W. Stoffle,Andrew B. Gill +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the negative impacts of enhanced predation with the positive impacts of reduced fishing mortality on parrotfishes inside reserves, showing that increased grazing caused a fourfold reduction in the cover of macroalgae, which highlights the potential importance of reserves for coral reef resilience.

Fishing, Trophic Cascades, and the Process of Grazing on Coral Reefs
Peter J. Mumby,Craig P. Dahlgren,Alastair R. Harborne,Carrie V. Kappel,Fiorenza Micheli,Daniel R. Brumbaugh,Katherine E. Holmes,Judith M. Mendes,Kenneth Broad,James N. Sanchirico,Kevin Buch,Steve Box,Richard W. Stoffle,Andrew B. Gill +13 more
TL;DR: Increase in density of large parrotfishes caused a fourfold reduction in the cover of macroalgae, which highlights the potential importance of reserves for coral reef resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioeconomics of Spatial Exploitation in a Patchy Environment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model of renewable resource exploitation that incorporates both intertemporal dynamics and spatial movement, and find the equilibrium patterns of biomass and effort across the system to be dependent upon bioeconomic conditions within each patch and the nature of the biological dispersal mechanism between patches.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effectiveness, Costs and Coastal Protection Benefits of Natural and Nature-Based Defences.

TL;DR: The comparison of costs of nature-based defence projects and engineering structures show that salt-marshes and mangroves can be two to five times cheaper than a submerged breakwater for wave heights up to half a metre and, within their limits, become more cost effective at greater depths.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Bioeconomic Model of Marine Reserve Creation
TL;DR: In this paper, a model combining a metapopulation model incorporating resource patch heterogeneity and dispersal with a behaviorally based spatially explicit harvesting model that assumes that fishermen choose location in a manner that eliminates spatial arbitrage opportunities is employed.
