Assessing Tropical Marine Invertebrates: a Manual for Pacific Island Resource Managers
book
posted on 2023-05-22, 08:49 authored by Pakoa, K, Friedman, K, Bradley MooreBradley Moore, Tardy, E, Bertram, IAlthough the Pacific Islands region is relatively free from the pressures of large-scale industrialised exploitation, marine biodiversity and species of importance for food security or commercialisation are under pressure from a combination of subsistence harvesting (where coastal populations are high), commercial fishing activity and coastal development. Although there are few documented cases of widespread collapses, a lack of understanding of the status of resources and the health of coastal systems is a recognised shortfall in the ability to manage stocks over time. Managing resources and habitat by way of day-to-day perceptions suffers from a constant shift in understanding with changing generations.
