Summary: The disconnect between modeling and management needs poses a significant challenge in using information and ideas generated through ecosystem models and analyses for ecosystem-based fisheries management. A case study from the U.S. West Coast showcases a process to identify management priorities, evaluate potential ecosystem models and analyses, and address policy needs, highlighting the importance of structured, iterative, and interactive communication between managers, stakeholders, and modelers.

Summary: This study reveals differences in resident attitudes towards vegetation management in exurban areas, where those with more positive attitudes tend to have greater knowledge about trees and believe in the human benefits of trees, while geographical and sociodemographic variables have a weaker association with attitudes. Residents in different areas have varied preferences for the aesthetics of roadside trees and their beliefs regarding the importance of trees.

Summary: The lack of attention and funding in studying women in fisheries has led to a gendered analysis being absent in understanding the contributions of women to enhancing fisheries sustainability. This article highlights the crucial roles and responsibilities of women in motivating proper management, conservation measures, and sound policies in fisheries. The study conducted in Surigao del Sur in the Philippines reveals that women actively participate in various roles, initiate innovative solutions, and contribute to the better management of marine resources.

Summary: This study examines the knowledge, perceptions, and compliance of fisheries stakeholders with the seasonal fishery closure implemented in the Visayan Sea, Philippines. Data from interviews were complemented by focus group discussions. Overall, municipal fisheries stakeholders have a fair knowledge about the SFC. The lack of alternative livelihoods, uneven implementation of the SFC and poverty also influence compliance.

Summary: Improper management of fish waste in the Philippines' fisheries is a problem that needs to be addressed. This study highlights the average daily production of fish waste in wet markets and the need to promote traditional practices and incentivize innovations in fish waste management. Reusing fish waste can contribute to the circular economy and provide additional income for stakeholders.

Summary: Previous research has shown that transitioning to SURFs in fisheries has economic, environmental, and social impacts. This paper focuses on assessing these impacts. It is found that the values of the impacts depend on the specific situation, making it difficult to conclude whether a transition to SURFs is beneficial or detrimental. The paper uses empirical data and bioeconomic modeling to evaluate the economic and biological impacts in the Philippines Marine fisheries, finding them mostly beneficial. However, the social impacts could not be evaluated due to lack of data.

Summary: This study assessed the decline in catch in small-scale fisheries in Davao Gulf by examining the motivations of fishers to exit the fisheries when presented with cash incentives. The results showed that most fishers would only be willing to leave the fisheries if given a monthly subsidy. Fishers considered both fisheries and economic factors in their decision to exit. This study highlights the need for livelihood diversification, skills upgrading, and financial grants to reduce fishing effort and sustainably manage the fisheries.

Summary: The implementation of the closed fishing season policy in Davao Gulf is influenced by various factors, including revenue, fishing experience, fishing hours, fish price, membership to community organizations, and fishers' awareness of the policy. Economic motivation plays a predominant role in fishers' support for the policy, as factors such as revenue and fish price increase due to its imposition, ultimately affecting fish stocks recovery.

Summary: The study examined the compliance and attitudes of salmon fishers in Greenland towards reporting their catch. The results showed that over 84% of fishers reported their catch, and they had positive attitudes towards regulations, perceiving regulatory authorities as professional and honest. The fishers were motivated to report catch based on moral obligations and norms, rather than instrumental motivations.

Summary: Global fisheries are facing a significant crisis due to overexploitation, marine pollution, and the impacts of climate change. This study examines the resilience of small-scale fishers (SSF) in Davao Gulf and assesses the effects of climate change on these communities. The findings indicate that small-scale fishing communities in the area experience multiple climate-related hazards annually, including monsoons and typhoons, which cause flooding and can lead to health issues. The study suggests that policies focusing on social benefits and job opportunities can enhance the resilience of these communities.

Summary: COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the fisheries sector in developing countries like the Philippines. This study examined the effects of COVID-19 restrictions on small-scale fishers and found that the lockdown policies implemented by the government had a major impact on their fishing operations. The restrictions resulted in reduced catch volume and increased fishing costs, leading to frustration among the fishers. The study also highlighted the negative consequences of the pandemic on the fishers' families, including limited mobility, food shortage, travel restrictions, and disruption to their children's education.

Summary: The study used innovative methods to analyze the impacts of the 2015-2016 El Nino episode in southern coastal Kenya, revealing overlooked effects. It is not enough to develop national capacities to deal with El Nino events; local vulnerabilities must also be addressed to enhance resilience to climate and weather extremes.

Summary: Despite positive attitudes towards tourism development, it is not a direct path to sustainability for small island communities, with benefits perceived as unequally distributed. Lack of education and skills, as well as incentives to continue destructive fishing practices, hinder community participation in tourism and highlight the challenges in achieving equitable benefit sharing.
