We tested a campaign that strongly promoted the visitor’s experience as it aligns with wildlife protection and measured its effect on how close people approached wildlife in four US national parks.
Continued efforts towards mutual understanding the U.S. and Japan's differences in fishing practices and fisheries management help us better understand each other’s culture and ocean policies, to help maintain sustainable fisheries into the future.
Model suggests that due to climate change, a decline in the yield of Hawaii's longline fishery may be inevitable, but the effects of climate change on the ecosystem depend heavily on the intensity of fishing mortality.
We investigate the effects of climate change and fishing on Hawaii’s deep-set longline fishery for bigeye tuna; and find results that suggest a decline in Hawaii’s longline fishery yield may be inevitable.
This 2005-2013 study confirms the broad distribution of sperm whales across the North Pacific and highlights subtle temporal patterns in their acoustic activity, which may be related to shifts in animal behavior or movement.
This paper describes song production by the eastern North Pacific right whale (NPRW, Eubalaena japonica) in the southeastern Bering Sea. Songs were localized in real-time to individuals using sonobuoys.
Daniel J. Vos, Kim E. W. Shelden, Nancy A. Friday, and Barbara A. Mahoney researched and combined beluga age estimates, from the teeth of hunted and stranded belugas during the period 1992–2001, with additional teeth collected up to June 2015.
A study published in Coral Reefs that combines ecological and cultural considerations to identify which herbivore management area locations would be most effective for Hawaiian reef recovery.
Following the 2014–2017 global coral bleaching event, we seek ways to promote long-term resilience. Here we investigate an unique spatial approach that can serve as an example for coral reef management in Hawai‘i, on other Pacific Islands, and beyond.
