Resist‐accept‐direct (RAD) considerations for climate change adaptation in fisheries: The Wisconsin experience

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 29(4), С. 346 - 363

Опубликована: Апрель 5, 2022

Abstract Decision‐makers in inland fisheries management must balance ecologically and socially palatable objectives for ecosystem services within financial or physical constraints. Climate change has transformed the potential range of available. The Resist‐Accept‐Direct (RAD) framework offers a foundation responding to climate‐induced modification; however, trajectories current practices be understood improve future decisions. Using Wisconsin's diverse as case study, strategies recreational subsistence response climate were reviewed RAD framework. Current largely focus on resist actions, while may need shift toward accept direct actions. A participatory adaptive co‐production policies between state tribal agencies could prioritise lakes appropriate action, with goal providing landscape fishing opportunities. This knowledge represents process social learning requiring substantial investments funding time.

Leveraging understandings of biogeomorphic river recovery to reframe river management philosophy and communication strategies

River Research and Applications, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 40(6), С. 1142 - 1150

Abstract A philosophical and communication shift is needed in river management if we are to meet sustainable development goals tackle environmental challenges brought about by ongoing anthropogenic climate change. In some parts of the world, recovery‐enhancement approaches have been adopted, communicated used for many years. At heart these lies an understanding biogeomorphic forms, processes evolutionary trajectories rivers that differs philosophically from notions restoration, rewilding or creation a utopian natural state. Instead, aim improve condition rivers, recognising they dynamic entities new novel ecosystems being created now part environment. Accepting shifting baselines moving targets inherent as boundary conditions (water, sediment vegetation interactions) continue be altered under influence change, impacts ‘unprecedented’ wildfires, floods, heatwaves drought manifested on ground.

Resisting ecosystem transformation through an intensive whole‐lake fish removal experiment

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 29(4), С. 364 - 377

Опубликована: Март 31, 2022

Abstract Lake ecosystems are shifting due to many drivers including climate change and landscape‐scale habitat disturbance, diminishing their potential support some fisheries. Walleye Sander vitreus (Mitchill) populations, which recreational tribal fisheries across North America, have declined in lakes. Climate change, harvest, invasive species concurrent increases warm‐water fishes (e.g. Centrarchidae) may contributed declines. To test the utility of an intensive management action resist walleye loss, experimental removal ~285,000 centrarchids from a 33‐ha lake over 4 years was conducted while monitoring fish community response. Centrarchid abundance yellow perch Perca flavescens increased, yet no evidence recruitment observed. These findings explore feasibility resistance as strategy supporting facing environmental provide platform for discussions move beyond strategies Resist‐Accept‐Direct (RAD) framework navigate ecosystem change.

Ecological and social strategies for managing fisheries using the Resist‐Accept‐Direct (RAD) framework

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 29(4), С. 329 - 345

Опубликована: Апрель 21, 2022

Abstract Fisheries management is a complex task made even more challenging by rapid and unprecedented socioecological transformations associated with climate change. The Resist‐Accept‐Direct (RAD) framework can be useful tool to support fisheries in facing the high uncertainty variability aquatic ecosystem transformations. Here, RAD strategies are presented address ecological goals for ecosystems social fisheries. These mapped on controllability matrix which explores ability guide system's behaviour towards desired state based responsiveness societal receptivity Understanding improving of systems help managers maintain broadest suite available strategies.

Biological Invasions in Fresh Waters: Micropterus salmoides, an American Fish Conquering the World

Water, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(21), С. 3796 - 3796

Опубликована: Окт. 30, 2023

Biological invasions in fresh waters cause biodiversity loss and impairment of ecosystem functioning. Many freshwater invasive species are fish, including the largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides, which is considered one 100 worst world. Fast individual growth rates, high dispersal ability, ecological tolerance, trophic plasticity among characteristics contributing to its success. The negative impact M. salmoides on littoral fish communities believed be mitigated by habitat structural complexity resulting from aquatic vegetation coarse woody debris, while main limits spread seem strong water flows turbidity, impairs visual predation. Together with human overexploitation potential antagonists, alteration could result having seriously detrimental effects native biodiversity. purpose this study critically review life history ecology ecosystems outside North America, anthropogenic activities spread. This will highlight environmental factors that favor or limit success, helping identify management measures might mitigate

A Resist‐Accept‐Direct decision‐support tool for walleye Sander vitreus (Mitchill) management in Wisconsin

Abstract Large‐scale modelling and prediction provide insight into general influences of climate change on inland recreational fisheries; however, small‐scale dynamics local expertise will be key in developing explicit goals for managing fisheries as the changes. The resist‐accept‐direct (RAD) framework encompasses entire decision space managers consider when addressing their system, but to decide whether resist, accept or direct, need tools understand how specific waterbodies influenced by change. Here, a decision‐support tool was developed applied walleye fishery Wisconsin, USA an example link RAD real‐world management large fishery. broadscale results described here, indicating widespread shift away from resist strategies mid‐century, can used inform decisions about accept, direct populations.

Climate Change Impacts on San Francisco Estuary Aquatic Ecosystems: A Review

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 20(2)

Опубликована: Июнь 24, 2022

Climate change is intensifying the effects of multiple interacting stressors on aquatic ecosystems, particularly in estuaries. In San Francisco Estuary, signals climate are apparent long-term monitoring record. Here we synthesize current and potential future three main ecosystems (floodplain, tidal marsh, open water) upper estuary two representative native fishes that commonly occur these (anadromous Chinook Salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha estuarine resident Sacramento Splittail, Pogonichthys macrolepidotus). Based our review, found experiencing shifting baseline environmental conditions, amplification extremes, restructuring physical habitats biological communities. We present priority topics for research monitoring, a conceptual model how currently functions relation to variables. addition, discuss four tools management effects: regulatory, water infrastructure, habitat development, measures. conclude adapting requires fundamental changes management.
