From an economic crisis to a pandemic crisis: The need for accurate marine monitoring data to take informed management decisions (2021)
Book Chapter
Borja, A., & Elliott, M. (2021). From an economic crisis to a pandemic crisis: The need for accurate marine monitoring data to take informed management decisions. In C. Sheppard (Ed.), Advances in Marine Biology (79-114). London: Academic Press. https://doi.org/10.1016/bs.amb.2021.08.002

It is axomatic that a system cannot be managed unless it is measured and that the measurements occur in a rigorous, defendable manner covering relevant spatial and temporal scales. Furthermore, it is not possible to predict the future direction of a...

DeWitt (Eds.), Ecosystem-Based Management, Ecosystem Services and Aquatic Biodiversity (61-86). Cham: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-45843-0_4

The complexity of interactions and feedbacks between human activities and ecosystems can make the analysis of such social-ecological systems intractable. In order to provide a common means to understand and analyse the links between social and ecolog...
