Food-web models represent a synthesis of knowledge of these dependencies and are a platform for evaluating the consequences of change in small pelagic fish productivity.
We find only 2 of the 13 Guam BMUS (Lethrinus rubrioperculatus and Pristipomoides auricilla) have sufficient data to run the more complex integrated or length-based assessment models.
We study marine organisms and how they interact with their habitats and environments. Our research supports conservation, restoration, and management of fisheries habitats throughout the Southeast region.
We suggest developing context-specific diagnostic frameworks that acknowledge the full social-ecological system to move towards implementable solutions for value-based conservation conflicts.
