Abstract
Overexploitation of living resources and climate change are
among the most obvious global-scale impacts of human society on marine
ecosystems. In an age of such large-scale anthropogenic impacts, marine
scientists, resource managers, and policymakers must rethink their approaches
to protecting and managing marine populations and ecosystems. Conservation
oceanography is an emerging field of science that incorporates the latest advances
in ocean science and technology to provide resource managers and policymakers
with the information they need to ensure the sustainability of the marine
environment and its living resources. Here, we discuss the historical context of
conservation oceanography as it applies to marine fisheries management. We
then describe two projects, one focused on Atlantic bluefin tuna and the other
on Pacific salmon, that illustrate the potential of new tagging and tracking
technologies for transforming the science underlying fisheries management.
