Creator:: Whitmarsh, David and Neves Santos, Miguel
Abstract:: Marine habitats and the fisheries they support may be modified through the use of human-made physical structures placed in the sea. These structures ('artificial reefs') serve a variety of functions, ranging from the traditional practice of food production to newer applications which include mariculture, tourism and resource conservation. The presentation...

Creator:: Ramos, Jorge, Whitmarsh, David, Costa Monteiro, Carlos, and Neves dos Santos, Miguel
Abstract:: Fisheries exploited under open-access conditions create externalities, resulting in a range of problems associated with over-capitalisation and stock depletion. One answer to this is to shift the mode of production away from hunting and towards husbandry, an approach which becomes feasible where some control can be exercised over the resource...

Creator:: Whitmarsh, David and Palmieri, Maria Giovanna
Abstract:: Aquaculture worldwide has grown rapidly, and while this has brought socio-economic benefits to particular regions there is persistent concern over its environmental impact and sustainability. Within Europe there are quite marked regional variations in the intensity of marine aquaculture, and the fact that this occurs in areas where there is...

Creator:: Ramos, Jorge, Santos, Miguel N., Whitmarsh, David, and Monteiro, Carlos C.
Abstract:: It is widely accepted that in sea bottom areas where there is a scarcity of rocky formations and declining marine fish due to fisheries pressure, the deployment of artificial reefs (ARs) is a possible way to mitigate the problem. If ARs have an ecosystem-based fisheries management goal that means their...
