💡#Fisheries co-management is the collaborative arrangement where #fishers communities and agencies have responsibility and authority over #fisheriesresource.

🤔How do we effectively implement co-management? Explore the guide to learn more 👉 https://t.co/iojgnblZub

Super proud for this work to be out - more than 2 years in the making. Co-management is widely accepted as the best way to manage small-scale fisheries, but what makes it succeed or fail?

[WorldFish @WorldFishCenter]

As #fisheries co-management grows, it can also succeed or fail, as the implementation does not always mean positive impacts on #foodsecurity, #nutrition, &#livelihoods.

A new guide aims to synthesize successful fisheries co-management across dimensions.👉 https://t.co/iojgnblZub

In the marine #conservation space, what exactly do we mean when we talk about human rights? And, what are the negative impacts that can ripple through communities when those rights are violated?

When it comes to human rights, we discuss two main groups: duty-bearers and rights-holders.

Learn more about their relationship, and how taking a human rights-based approach to marine #conservation ultimately serves both duty-bearers and rights-holders 🔗 https://t.co/ltaYzT0Nf0

New paper out in @FrontMarineSci - We argue that adopting human rights principles is key for progressing effective and equitable marine conservation outcomes, and that there are strong legal, ethical, and practical reasons for marine conservation to support human rights

Out now in @ConBiology - our study led by @SmallhornWest @PipCohen and team showing evidence of SSF co-management improving stock resource status, but less evidence of achieving other #SDGs related to livelihoods, food security and nutrition. https://t.co/78temC2ElW

[James Cook Uni @jcu]

JCU scientists say a more direct approach should be taken to conservation planning – with greater focus on the real impact of conservation actions and less attention paid to targets or actions that misrepresent progress.

Latest research on coral reef community management and small-scale fisheries just published😀Ten years of catch monitoring from a fishing community in Solomon Islands shows long-term trends and outcomes from local marine management.

As an added bonus our analysis also demonstrates the ability for fully closed Marine Protected Areas to enhance fisheries productivity using the newly developed #rfishprod package!

[Patrick Smallhorn-west @SmallhornWest]

Our new paper shows Partially Protected Areas can:
*boost fisheries production
*enhance the ease with which fishers catch their prey
*alter the composition of fisheries yields
This can benefit fishers but carry risks for ecosystems.
