In May 2014, scientists and resource managers representing stakeholders from government, academia, and conservation groups met in Honolulu, Hawaii, to identify critical information needs for deep-sea coral and sponge ecosystems.
We developed an Atlantis model for ecosystems around the inhabited Hawaiian Islands to look at changes in socio-ecological indicators driven by future climate change effects.
In this study, we investigated the complex ways in which human well-being is related to the coastal and marine environment by looking closely at the ways communities impact, rely on, and steward the West Hawai'i region.
This report provides a summary of key findings for work completed between 2012 and 2020 to assess the effectiveness of management actions conducted at the Samoa Maritime quarry in Faga‘alu, American Samoa.
This study discusses how coral reef managers can navigate the challenges of monitoring (that infer trends over any scale except that for which the survey was designed) by considering the patterns occurring at smaller spatial scales.
This 2016 program review evaluated the Northeast's science programs that support our understanding of ecological, oceanographic, climate, and habitat-related processes as they are linked to living marine resources.
The New England Fisheries Management Council is exploring options for ecosystem-based fishery management. As part of that process, the council requested a peer review of a proposed management procedure, including the models used to test that procedure.
This study considers a total of six commonly cited strategies when assessing ecological and social resilience to climate change stresses in coral reef management worldwide.
We present an analysis of exposure, resilience, and social vulnerability to climate change threats for the coral reefs of American Samoa, relative to the rest of the U.S. Pacific.
We present an analysis of exposure, resilience, and social vulnerability to climate change threats to the coral reefs of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), relative to the rest of the U.S. Pacific.
