© 2017 Estuaries are amongst the most socio-economically and ecologically important environments however, due to competing and conflicting demands, management is often challenging with a complex legislative framework managed by multiple agencies. To... Read More about A user's guide to coping with estuarine management bureaucracy: An Estuarine Planning Support System (EPSS) tool.

Integrating multiple stressors in aquaculture to build the blue growth in a changing sea (2017)
Journal Article
Sarà, G., Mangano, M. C., Johnson, M., & Mazzola, A. (2018). Integrating multiple stressors in aquaculture to build the blue growth in a changing sea. Hydrobiologia, 809(1), 5-17. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-017-3469-8

Fisheries currently represent the main source of animal protein intake worldwide, although catches of most commercial species are at or beyond maximum sustainable yields. Increasing production would require an excess of exploitation levels and aquacu... Read More about Integrating multiple stressors in aquaculture to build the blue growth in a changing sea.

Towards better integration of environmental science in society: lessons from BONUS, the joint Baltic Sea environmental research and development programme (2017)
Journal Article
Snoeijs-Leijonmalm, P., Barnard, S., Elliott, M., Andrusaitis, A., Kononen, K., & Sirola, M. (2017). Towards better integration of environmental science in society: lessons from BONUS, the joint Baltic Sea environmental research and development programme. Environmental science & policy, 78, 193-209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2017.10.004

Integration of environmental science in society is impeded by the large gap between science and policy that is characterised by weaknesses in societal relevance and dissemination of science and its practical implementation in policy. We analyse exper... Read More about Towards better integration of environmental science in society: lessons from BONUS, the joint Baltic Sea environmental research and development programme.

A decline in primary production in the North Sea over 25 years, associated with reductions in zooplankton abundance and fish stock recruitment (2017)
Journal Article
Capuzzo, E., Lynam, C. P., Barry, J., Stephens, D., Forster, R. M., Greenwood, N., …Engelhard, G. H. (2018). A decline in primary production in the North Sea over 25 years, associated with reductions in zooplankton abundance and fish stock recruitment. Global change biology, 24(1), e352-e364. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.13916

Phytoplankton primary production is at the base of the marine food web; changes in primary production have direct or indirect effects on higher trophic levels, from zooplankton organisms to marine mammals and seabirds. Here, we present a new time-ser... Read More about A decline in primary production in the North Sea over 25 years, associated with reductions in zooplankton abundance and fish stock recruitment.

The effectiveness of fish feeding behaviour in mirroring trawling-induced patterns (2017)
Journal Article
Mangano, M. C., Bottari, T., Caridi, F., Porporato, E. M., Rinelli, P., Spanò, N., …Sarà, G. (2017). The effectiveness of fish feeding behaviour in mirroring trawling-induced patterns. Marine environmental research, 131, 195-204. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2017.09.004

The ability to observe and predict trawling-induced patterns at spatial and temporal scales that are relevant to inform realistic management strategies is a challenge which scientists have consistently faced in recent decades. Here, we use fish feedi... Read More about The effectiveness of fish feeding behaviour in mirroring trawling-induced patterns.
