We reviewed indicator development case studies from seven different social-ecological systems over the first 10 years of the NOAA integrated ecosystem assessment program, with the goals of identifying effective strategies.
We review the literature to reveal emerging global research trends on small pelagic fish, as opposed to more recently published, ecosystem-specific reviews, to better understand a vital role in global food security
A study investigating the phytoplankton biomass near island and atoll reef ecosystems (termed IME) at Rangiroa Atoll. By studying IME we can better understand changes caused by a warming climate and changing environmental conditions for marine ecosystems.
We reconcile 30+ years of data to estimate growth parameters for P. filametosus with results that have direct management implications for age-based stock assessment models and other life history traits.
In the face of challenges faced by core reefs, we developed an mapping approach and deep learning models to better understand the distribution of live corals throughout the main Hawaiian islands.
An exceptionally large, hermatypic colony of Porites sp. has been measured and identified as the biggest colony recorded in American Samoa, and one of the largest documented worldwide.
We investigated space and time dynamics in the populations of the common mola, sharptail mola, and slender mola in the eastern North Pacific. In addition, we identify potential effects of fishing gear type on molid catch probability.
Demonstrating historical and contemporary use of Biscayne Bay and adjacent reef tract by the imperiled smalltooth sawfish, suggesting potential local and regional recovery.
We explore how an ecosystem model could better integrate economic and social objectives, using the coral reef ecosystem around Hawai`i as a case study.
Here, we investigate the a method of monitoring sponges with results suggesting COI metabarcoding is capable of capturing sponge richness from a complex natural community.
