Models show Australia’s tropical sea-life heading south
CORU research contributes to realization that ocean warming will result in ‘tropicalisation’ of marine biological communities off the Western Australian coast. Read more
Rebuilding global fisheries would make them five times more valuable while improving ecology, a newly released study co-authored by members of CORU shows
It could cost up to $292 billion and take almost three decades, but UBC experts have a proposal to save the world’s fisheries. See more on this story from the Vancouver Sun and access the full study here.
Cheung & Sumaila identified marine conservation “hot spots” around the world.
Drs William Cheung and Rashid Sumaila have identified conservation “hot spots” around the world where the temptation to profit from overfishing outweighs the appetite for conservation. Their results were presented in the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Vancouver. [Read more…]
Cheung: Ocean acidification turns climate change winners into losers
Adding ocean acidification and deoxygenation into the mix of climate change predictions may turn “winner” regions of fisheries and biodiversity into “losers”
William Cheung on economic incentives and overfishing in Marine Ecology Progress Series
William Cheung, CORU leader, and Rashid Sumaila, Director of the UBC Fisheries Economics Research Unit, have been published in Marine Ecology Progress Series on “Economic incentives and overfishing: a bioeconomic vulnerability index”. Read more.
Assessment of marine climate change impacts on fisheries in the UK and Ireland
In collaboration with colleagues at the University of East Anglia, Cefas and Plymouth Marine Laboratory through the UK’s Marine Climate Change Impact Partnership (MCCIP) <www.mccip.org.uk>, William Cheung and Miranda Jones of CORU published an article reviewing the effects of climate change on marine fisheries in the U.K. and Ireland. Existing evidence shows that ocean warming […]
Tropicalization of marine biota in Western Australia
A new study, jointly conducted by colleagues in CORU, Sea Around Us project, The University of Western Australia and CSIRO, projects that ocean warming will result in tropicalization of marine biological communities in Western Australia. To assess the extent of the impacts of climate change on marine biota in Western Australia, a suite of computer […]
