Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sustainability of marine ecosystems has been increasingly challenged under anthropogenic activities and climate change. Development of efficient monitoring programs and management policies for fishery resources are essential for fisheries sustainability.
Numerous new policies and strategies in fishery monitoring and management have been developed to address increasing pressure on the coastal marine ecosystems. With significant changes in socio-economic conditions, natural resources and ecosystems, many new issues have emerged during the implementation of these policies, and a series of subsequent policies have yet to be introduced. There is an urgent need to organize a Special Issue on marine fishery monitoring and management.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions centered around fishery monitoring and management, including (but not limited to) monitoring and assessing fishery resources and ecosystems, new techniques and methods to monitor fisheries, fishery resources and ecosystems, the dynamics of fish communities and habitats under climate change and anthropogenic activities and their ecological impacts, monitoring and assessing fishery biodiversity, ecosystem-based fishery monitoring and management, etc.
