Ecoregional status measures comprise a set of data about the viability, threat and conservation status of biodiversity within an ecoregion. Derived primarily from data generated by ecoregional assessments, these measures provide a snapshot of the status of biodiversity conservation, as well as a measure of trends in this status over time.

Translating the terrestrial mitigation hierarchy to marine megafauna by-catch

In terrestrial and coastal systems, the mitigation hierarchy is widely and increasingly used to guide actions to ensure that no net loss of biodiversity ensues from development. We develop a conceptual model which applies this approach to the mitigation of marine megafauna by-catch in fisheries, going from defining an overarching goal with an associated quantitative […]
