Abstract
An urchin fishery was established to provide financial
incentives to control a range-extending and destructive
urchin species.
Spatially discrete subsidies and modified harvesting strategies were used to manage and optimise harvests efforts, with the long-term aims of facilitating industry stability and natural kelp recovery.
