Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation strategies to climate change in marine systems.
Dana D. Miller,Yoshitaka Ota,Ussif Rashid Sumaila,Andrés M. Cisneros-Montemayor,William W. L. Cheung +4 more
TL;DR: There is ample evidence in the literature that shows that marine species are adapting to climate change through shifting distributions and timing of biological events, while evidence for adaptation through evolutionary processes is limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the impact of climate change on threatened species in UK waters.
Miranda C. Jones,Miranda C. Jones,Miranda C. Jones,Stephen Dye,Jose A. Fernandes,Thomas L. Frölicher,John K. Pinnegar,Rachel Warren,Rachel Warren,William W. L. Cheung +9 more
TL;DR: Although the models show large variation in the predicted consequences of climate change, the multi-model approach helps identify the potential risk of increased exposure to human stressors of critically endangered species such as common skate and angelshark.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is argued that the contribution of the NFF is twofold: its ability to hold a plurality of perspectives on what is desirable, which enables the development of joint goals and visions and recognizes the possible convergence and synergies of measures to achieve these visions.
Journal ArticleDOI
How subsidies affect the economic viability of small-scale fisheries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first bottom-up analysis of the proportion of global marine fisheries subsidies to small-scale fisheries (SSF) using existing data, the reported national subsidy amounts are split into the fraction that goes to small and large-scale fishing sectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A new methodology for database-driven ecosystem model generation is presented and a first estimate of fish biomass in the world's LMEs is obtained, using the models formulated using the freely available Ecopath with Ecosim modeling approach and software.
