We conduct global-scale assessments of conservation threats, strategies, and outcomes that benefit threatened species and ecosystems. These assessments provide valuable information to resource managers who seek robust scientific data to rank conservation priorities as well as funding agencies who need to prioritize limited conservation resources. We have conducted global-scale assessments of emerging bycatch reduction technologies, fisheries management strategies, illegal sea turtle take and trade, and the impacts of plastic pollution on air-breathing marine megafauna.
Representative publications:
- A global review of bycatch reduction technology assessments: Revealing gaps in fisher-focused metrics (coming soon)
- Guidelines for evaluating artificial light to mitigate unwanted fisheries bycatch
- Global patterns of illegal marine turtle exploitation
