Bycatch in drift gillnet fisheries: A sink for Indian Ocean cetaceans

Journal Article Conservation Letters · March 1, 2024 In 1992, the UN banned the use of large-scale pelagic driftnets on the high seas (UNGA Resolution 46/215). Three decades later, however, drift gillnets remain one of the primary fishing gears in the Indian Ocean, accounting for approximately 30% of tuna ca ... Full text Cite

GEOAI FOR MARINE ECOSYSTEM MONITORING: A COMPLETE WORKFLOW TO GENERATE MAPS FROM AI MODEL PREDICTIONS

Conference International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences - ISPRS Archives · June 22, 2023 Mapping and monitoring marine ecosystems imply several challenges for data collection and processing: water depth, restricted access to locations, instrumentation costs or weather constraints for sampling, among others. Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence (A ... Full text Cite

The Challenges of Managing Depredation and Bycatch of Toothed Whales in Pelagic Longline Fisheries: Two U.S. Case Studies

Journal Article Frontiers in Marine Science · February 26, 2021 Direct interactions with fisheries are broadly recognized as the leading conservation threat to small cetaceans. In open-ocean environments, one of the primary gear types implicated in these interactions is the pelagic longline. Unlike accidental entanglem ... Full text Cite

Critical information gaps remain in understanding impacts of industrial seismic surveys on marine vertebrates

Journal Article Endangered Species Research · January 1, 2019 Anthropogenic noise is increasing throughout the world's oceans. One major contributor is industrial seismic surveys-a process typically undertaken to locate and estimate the quantity of oil and gas deposits beneath the seafloor-which, in recent years, has ...
