Reassessing the value of nursery areas to shark conservation and management (2009, background): “As a result of the NOAA 1996 mandate, which required the identification of essential fish habitat in all fisheries management plans in the United States, shark nursery area research increased (McCandless et al. 2007).”
Evaluating catch and mitigating risk in a multispecies, tropical, inshore shark fishery within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (2011, methodology): “Closures of inshore nursery areas have historically been used as a way of protecting sharks and have been considered a critical tool in managing shark populations (Olsen 1959; McCandless et al. 2007), although their usefulness has also been contested (Kinney and Simpfendorfer 2009).”
