Abundance of Neglected Fishing Gear in the Hawaii-Based Pelagic Longline Fishery Grounds

We study the abundance of derelict fishing gear (DFG) accumulating in zones coinciding with the fishing grounds of the Hawai’i-based pelagic longline fishery with results that suggest that the relative abundance of DFG has declined ~66% from 2008–2016.

Environmental Monitors On Lobster Traps (eMOLT): Long-term Observations Of New England's Bottom-water Temperatures

Beginning in 2001, dozens of New England lobstermen have been installing temperature recorders on their traps to document changes from hourly to interannual time scales. These changes are due to a variety of processes such as tides, winds, exchanges with the offshore ocean waters, and larger scale climatic cycles.

Relative Impacts of Simultaneous Stressors on a Pelagic Marine Ecosystem

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.
