An important control study that documents the natural responses of coral reef fishes to SCUBA bubbles generated by in-situ surveys conducted in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM).
We developed a spatially explicit simulation model to better understand how to develop spatial stock assessment models for the management of fisheries.
Here we develop a modelling framework to explore fish populations that could exhibit non-stationary behaviour and then evaluate the consequences on the future risk of overexploitation for three Pacific billfish stocks.
We document three new records of coastal fish species for the Hawaiian Islands, hypothesize their origin, and find no evidence that these species have established populations in the Hawaiian Islands.
Here, we analyze our cumulative experience with translocation of Hawaiian monk seals in response to it's declining demographic. Outcomes suggest that in most cases the translocations were successful.
Using a combination of small‐ and large‐scale surveys, we consider how fishing alters the trophic structure among coral reef fish by assessing those impacts to understand how and why that structure varies naturally across scales.
The critically endangered monk seal, is found in tropical and subtropical waters of the central Pacific and Mediterranean Sea. Currently, the majority of the estimated 1161 Hawaiian monk seals are distributed throughout the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
Urban coastal ecosystems are unique intersections of human development and biodiversity, and monitoring populations in these areas is critical to understanding ecosystem health and function.
Research explores the relationship between black-footed albatross sightings in the Hawai‘i-based deep-set longline fishery and fleet dynamics and environmental variables.
