Management Science in Fisheries
A key goal of fisheries management is to regulate extractive pressure on a resource so as to ensure social, economic and ecological sustainability. This text provides an accessible entry point for students and professionals to management science as developed in fisheries, in order to facilitate uptake of the latest ideas and methods. Traditional management approaches have relied upon a stock assessment based on existing understanding of resource status and dynamics, and a prediction of the likely future response to a static management proposal. However all such predictions include an inherent degree of uncertainty, and the last few decades have seen the emergence of an adaptive approach that...
Benchmark Workshop on North Sea Stocks (WKNSEA)
Four stocks were included in the Benchmark: Cod (27.47d20), Spurdog (dgs.27.nea), Sole (sol.27.7d) and Whiting (whg.27.6a).
Fleet Dynamics in Fisheries Management Strategy Evaluations
Fisheries managers use scientific evaluations of management plans to determine whether such plans will be sustainable. Most extant evaluations do not account for changes in fleet dynamics in response to management measures, and are likely to be flawed as a result. In this thesis, I develop a new simulation model to address this issue. I present motivating case studies of management strategy evaluations for haddock, survey-based management approaches, and multi-species catch quotas, in order to highlight the need for an improved spatio-temporal fishery modelling framework. I characterise the response of the Scottish whitefish fleet to short-term real-time area closures, as an example of the t...
Climate Change and Food Security in Asia Pacific
Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book evaluates the complex nexus between climate change and regional food security in Asia Pacific. Feeding the planet puts a lot of stress on the environment. The fundamental challenges we are facing today include how to grow more from less in a sustainable manner; how to optimize the entire food value chain from field to fork to reduce the carbon footprint, protect the environment and support biological diversity, cause less water pollution and soil erosion, raise levels of nutrition, improve agricultural productivity, better the lives of rural populations and contribute to the growth of the world economy. With a robust multi-site study in Southeast Asia, Pacific Island Forum and South Asia, this book examines the regional initiatives on, the current state of, and the future prospects for mitigations and resilience regarding climate change and food security vis-à-vis other regions of the world.
Dark Tales of Mischief
Adventures of a young gang of English lads running loose in the 19th century countryside, striving to survive and prosper from a life of crime.
Elasmobranchs of the Mediterranean and Black Sea

Reaper Moon: Race War in the Post Apocalypse
When pandemic meets politics the US fractures. Unite to survive. The human epidermis deterioration virus (HEDV) has obliterated the population. Billions have died worldwide. The lucky few who survived are now faced with rising racial tensions and white supremacist armies determined to eradicate all people of color and anyone who tries to stand in their way, including Scot Jameson’s mostly white community. Left for dead, Scot is rescued by a young black girl, Coby, and together they join an integrated community called The Orchard. There they meet Kimberly Tomlinson a charismatic and brilliant young leader who becomes a surrogate mother to Coby and confidant to Scot. The Orchard is soon dest...
The Day Ain't Over Yet
In February 1992 Todd and Coby Gent went to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, so Coby could be evaluated for, and hopefully have, a double-lung transplant. Transplants were a new way to prolong the lives of cystic fibrosis patients, and this major surgery was Coby’s only hope for living beyond his twelve years. Todd, Coby’s dad, kept a journal from day one of the Gent family’s journey from borrowed lungs to new life. The journals include other patients from all over the country awaiting transplants. Coby, at twelve, was the youngest among others in their twenties, thirties, and forties. Tricia and Casey, Todd’s wife and daughter, respectively, remained in their hometown of Wylie, Texas, and traveled back and forth to North Carolina during the transplant process. Todd Gent had not read these journals since he wrote them in 1992, but his daughter brought them out in order to publish them by the thirtieth anniversary of Coby’s double-lung transplant. The journals prove that Coby made it count.
