Download or read book Decision Making in Natural Resource Management written by Michael J. Conroy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-01-03 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for use by natural resource managers and scientists, and students in the fields of natural resource management, ecology, and conservation biology, who are confronted with complex and difficult decision making problems. The book takes readers through the process of developing a structured approach to decision making, by firstly deconstructing decisions into component parts, which are each fully analyzed and then reassembled to form a working decision model. The book integrates common-sense ideas about problem definitions, such as the need for decisions to be driven by explicit objectives, with sophisticated approaches for modeling decision influence and incorporating feedback from monitoring programs into decision making via adaptive management. Numerous worked examples are provided for illustration, along with detailed case studies illustrating the authors’ experience in applying structured approaches. There is also a series of detailed technical appendices. An accompanying website provides computer code and data used in the worked examples. Additional resources for this book can be found at: www.wiley.com/go/conroy/naturalresourcemanagement.

Download or read book Toward a Holistic Recreational Fisheries Management written by Brett Michael Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tradicionaly recreational fishery management has focused on dynamics of individual fish populations. Attempts to improve fish populations center on manipulations of harvest or the population itself. However, outcomes of fishery management actions have been difficult to forecast. Ecological processes within fish communities and angler responses can produce unanticipated effects. This thesis documents my research on these processes in Lake Mendota to make fishery management a more holistic, predictive science. A food web manipulation began in 1987. This project used several fishery management tools to increase the biomass of piscivorus gamefish to evaluate food web manipulation as a water quality management tool. Forecasting and measuring direct and indirect effects of the manipulation were important objetives. To forecast how management would affect piscivore populations, and their consumption of prey, I combined two computer models: an age-structured population model and a bioenergetics model. This technique predicted how size, abundance, and consumption of piscivores changed with stocking rates and sire limits. A walleye stocking program that yielded 8,000 yearling/year doubled consumption demand; adding a 381-mm minimum size limit achieved another 50% increase. To predict consequences of piscivore management for prey populations, I studied predador and prey fish populations. Highley variable prey recuitment made forecasting impacts of piscivory difficult. Based on historic recruitment patterns, enhanced walleye populations could consume 65-100% of young-of-year perch biomass produced in low recruitment years. When recruitment was high walleyes consumed less than 5% of the biomass. Translating predicted piscivore consumption into perch dynamics was accomplished by incorporating prey recruitment uncertainty. Angler response to piscivore enhancements was intense. Angler effort increased four-fold and harvest rates doubled to 60% per year. As a result, forescasts of piscivore consumption demand and the effectiveness of food web manipulation dependend heavily on responses of sport anglers to piscivore populations. Hence, a better understanding of angler dynamics was required before ecological effects of fishery management actions could be predicted. I developed a predatory-prey model to study angler-piscivore interactions. This approach linked angler and fish dynamics, and provided the means to incorporate fish, anglers, and management actions within one framework.
Download or read book Wetland Woodland Wildland written by Elizabeth H. Thompson and published by Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published by The Vermont Fish & Widlife Department, The Nature Conservancy, and Vermont Land Trust--a revised and updated 2nd edition This book is a must-have for anyone wanting to understand Vermont's forests, wetlands, mountaintops, and shores. Richly illustrated with beautiful line drawings and stunning color photographs, this accessible field guide will delight outdoor explorers and armchair naturalists alike. The book starts with an introduction to the natural community concept and the factors influencing our natural systems, from wind and water to soil and rocks. Then, the book offers a lucid and enjoyable journey into Vermont's geologic past, with stories of colliding continents, sea floor sediments, and mysterious whale bones. This follows with a journey through all of Vermont's nine distinct biophysical regions, from the cold and wild Northeastern Highlands to the warm and dry Taconic Mountains. The bulk of the book describes Vermont's natural communities--its northern hardwood forests, dry oak woodlands, alpine tundra, cedar swamps, bogs, and marshes--in comprehensive detail. Ecological settings, including geology, soils, climate, and natural disturbance processes, are described for each community, along with complete lists of characteristic plants and animals, as well as places to visit. Wetland, Woodland, Wildland is the definitive guide to Vermont's natural communities, and is packed with information unavailable elsewhere. It offers practical information for naturalists, teachers, students, landowners, land managers, foresters, conservation planners, and all those with a love of nature who want to learn more about their surroundings. The first edition of this book, published in 2000, has become a mainstay for naturalists and students throughout Vermont and surrounding states and provinces. This second edition is completely updated to incorporate new research and a growing knowledge about natural communities, as well as a deeper understanding of climate change and its implications for conservation into the future. This newly updated book will be a prized addition to your natural history library, but it won't remain on the shelf. You will want to take it with you every time you explore the outdoors. Each paragraph will bring new insights and will deepen your understanding and appreciation of wild nature around you. You will surely want to share this book with friends.

This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walleye, one of the most sought-after species of freshwater sport fishes in North America, has demonstrated appreciable declines in their numbers from their original populations since the beginning of the 20th century. Similarly, Yellow Perch, once the most commonly caught sport fish and an important commercial species in North America, have also shown declines. Compiling up-to-date information on the biology and management of Walleye, Sauger, and Yellow Perch, including research on systematics, genetics, physiology, ecology, movement, population dynamics, culture, recent case histories, and management practices, will be of interest to managers, researchers, and students who deal with these important species, particularly in light of habitat alterations, population shifts, and other biotic and abiotic factors related to a changing climate.
Download or read book Fishing Gone written by Sid Dobrin and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans have a rapacious relationship with the world’s ocean, extracting immeasurable quantities of its inhabitants and resources, while simultaneously depositing unbound sums of pollution into it. If we are to move toward sustainable practices, then we must first move toward ways of thinking about fish and fisheries beyond mere economic agendas. And there is one group in particular who could make an impact: saltwater anglers. Recreational saltwater fishing is big business and big culture. The industry is one of the largest in the United States, but that has not translated into a cohesive effort, agenda, or ethic. Saltwater anglers, a diverse group with a range of motivations, do not belong to a single organization through which to galvanize significant voting or lobbying power toward conservation regulation. As a result, federal policymakers have traditionally focused on commercial harvesting interests. Dubbed the “most contemplative of pastimes,” recreational fishing provides a valuable perspective on how humans interact with saltwater environments. Fishing, Gone? builds on this tradition of reflection and opens up the saltwater sportfishing life as a method for thinking through the current status of marine fisheries and environment. Author Sid Dobrin calls on fellow saltwater anglers to reconsider their relationship to fishes and the ocean—the sport can no longer be only about the joy and freedom of fishing, but it must also be about living for the ocean, living with the ocean, and living through the ocean. It is about securing the opportunity to fish on while meeting the economic and environmental challenges that lie ahead.
