The spring 2005 issue of the Marine Technology Society Journal (39, 1)
focuses on the contribution of acoustic telemetry to the design of
marine protected areas (MPAs). Papers address key questions such as use
of this data to determine whether a reserve is located and sized to
protect species of interest, and whether there is spillover of exploited
fish from reserves into fished areas. A table of contents for the
“Acoustic Tracking of Marine Fishes: Implications for the Design of
Marine Protected Areas” special issue is available at:
http://www.mtsociety.org/publications/journal_form.cfm

An article in PLoS Biology (a peer-reviewed open access journal)
discusses overfishing and the decline of global fisheries, the attempt
of fisheries science to improve the quality of data on the impact to
ecosystems, and management strategies for the recovery of depleted
fisheries, including aquaculture and the establishment of marine reserve
networks. “Troubled Waters: The Future of Global Fisheries” is available
at:
http://biology.plosjournals.org/archive/1545-885/2/4/pdf/10.1371_journal.pbio.0020113-L.pdf

An article by Callum Roberts and others in “Philosophical Transactions:
Biological Sciences” addresses the concerns of the fishing industry
about the use of marine reserves, and looks at how marine reserves and
other fishery management tools can be used together for sustainability.
It notes that large marine reserve networks must be an important part of
fishery management for both sustainable fisheries and conservation of
marine biodiversity and ecosystems. “The role of marine reserves in
achieving sustainable fisheries” is available at:

NOAA’s National Ocean Service has released an operations plan for the
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. The plan was
prepared by the National Marine Sanctuary Program in consultation with
the State of Hawaii and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It serves as
the management guide for the reserve, and contains action plans for each
of the reserve’s program areas: operations; education and outreach;
native Hawaiian cultural resources; maritime heritage; research and
monitoring; mapping; response, damage assessment and restoration; marine
debris; enforcement; and sanctuary designation. “Northwestern Hawaiian
Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve Final Reserve Operations Plan” is
available at:
