Are marine protected areas a red herring or fisheries panacea (2005, background): “2005), they are not the cure-all that some purport, and the scientific evidence chosen to support such conclusions on occasion has been drawn from those studies that demonstrate a positive outcome of MPA implementation (Halpern 2003; Zeller and Russ 2004).”
Estimating dispersal distance in the deep sea: challenges and applications to marine reserves (2015, background): “L. (2003). Effects of the planktonic period on marine population fluctuations.”
Incentive-based Approaches to Sustainable Fisheries (2006, background): “Reserves can lead to increased abundance, size, and biodiversity (Halpern 2003), as well as a more fecund population (Palumbi 2004) within no-take areas, and can potentially increase harvests in exploited areas via fish migration (Roberts et al. 2001; Gell and Roberts 2003).”
A Review of Catch-and-Release Angling Mortality with Implications for No-take Reserves (2005, background): “…are banned, except for scientific and educational purposes (Bohnsack, 1998ab; Murray et al., 1999; National Research Council, 1999; Horwood, 2000; Lindeboom, 2000; Fogarty et al., 2000; Roberts and Hawkins, 2000; Roberts et al., 2001; Halpern and Warner, 2002; Halpern 2003, Shipley, 2004).”
Benefits of closed area protection for a population of scallops (2005, background): “…marine habitats and nontarget species has also been shown to help maintain or increase biodiversity, particularly in areas subject to bottom-disturbing fishing practices such as trawling or dredging (Allison et al. 1998, Dayton et al. 2000, Bradshaw et al. 2001, Thrush & Dayton 2002, Halpern 2003).”
MARINE RESERVES AND OCEAN NEIGHBORHOODS: The Spatial Scale of Marine Populations and Their Management (2004, methodology): “Overall, fish biomass increased 100% to 800% across 56 peer-reviewed published surveys of the effectiveness of reserves (4) based on data in Halpern (5).”
Multi-scale spatial heterogeneity, habitat structure, and the effect of marine reserves on Western Mediterranean rocky reef fish assemblages (2004, background): “In the same way, non-Mediterranean studies comparing protected sites with their unprotected counterparts find such an effect of protection on abundance and biomass of targeted fish species (see reviews by Russ 2002 and Halpern 2003, and references therein).”
Propagule dispersal and the scales of marine community process (2005, background): “Historically, the majority of marine ecological experiments and observations have been conducted at scales of several to hundreds of meters (Levin, 1992), while many management efforts are focused on scales ranging from hundreds of meters to several km (Halpern, 2003).”
Worst case scenario: potential long-term effects of invasive predatory lionfish (Pterois volitans) on Atlantic and Caribbean coral-reef communities (2011, background): “Marine reserves on coral reefs are well-documented to effectively protect predatory fishes and otherwise foster larger body sizes (Halpern 2003).”
A trophic model of a Galápagos subtidal rocky reef for evaluating fisheries and conservation strategies (2004, background): “Size does matter when it comes to protected areas, pepinos or no pepinos (Walters et al., 1999; Martell et al., 2000 ;b ut see Halpern, 2003 ).”
Rapid recolonisation of snapper Pagrus auratus: Sparidae within an offshore island marine reserve after implementation of no-take status (2004, background): “…to exploitation from fishing, and the evidence that marine reserves increase the density, biomass and size of target species on reefs appears considerable (see reviews in Roberts & Polunin 1991, Dugan & Davis 1993, Rowley 1994, Attwood et al. 1997, Mosquera et al. 2000, Palumbi 2001, Halpern 2003).”
How Many Animals Do We Want to Save? The Many Ways of Setting Population Target Levels for Conservation (2006, background): “…groupings Golden lion Brazil Kierulff et al. 2002 tamarin Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/bioscience/article-abstract/56/11/911/272329 by guest on 29 July 2018 filled place may be a source supplying sinks in the surrounding landscape, especially if the boundary is permeable (Halpern 2003).”
MARINE RESERVES EXPLOIT POPULATION STRUCTURE AND LIFE HISTORY IN POTENTIALLY IMPROVING FISHERIES YIELDS (2005, background): “This value matches the average level of individual biomass increase observed in populations protected by reserves where larger size classes often persist more reliably (Polunin and Roberts 1993, Halpern 2003).”
Evaluating the biological effectiveness of fully and partially protected marine areas (2013, background): “There have been numerous reviews on the effectiveness of no-take marine reserves for fish populations [29-39], however few attempts have been made to generalize the ecological effects of partially protected areas to date (but see [40]).”
