The establishment of large-scale marine protected areas (LSMPAs) has emerged as one of the defining trends in ocean conservation over recent decades. To assess the potential benefits of such designations, it is necessary to understand the nature of t... Read More about The Former Pelagic Longline Fishery of a Large‐Scale Marine Protected Area.

Seamounts have been likened to “oases” of life in the comparative : deserts of the open ocean, often harbouring high densities of threatened and exploited pelagic top predators. However, few such aggregations have been studied in any detail and the m... Read More about Shallow seamounts are “oases” and activity hubs for pelagic predators in a large-scale marine reserve.
