Causes of historical decline of the glass sponge reefs in British Columbia, Canada

Anya Dunham, Georgia Clyde, Cooper Stacey, Lily Burke et autres

ABSTRACT Hexactinellid (glass) sponge reefs are unique biogenic habitats found along the Northeast Pacific margin of North America. Seabed surveys with remotely operated vehicles and drop cameras revealed expansive dead areas, with few or no living glass sponges observed on reef surfaces, …

Fishing damage to cloud sponges may lead to losses in associated fish communities in Pacific Canada

Fiona T.-Y. Francis, Lily Burke, Jeff Marliave, Jessica Schultz et autres

Glass sponge gardens are important biogenic habitats that support fish communities in Pacific Canada. However, glass sponges (class Hexactinellida) are delicate and susceptible to damage from fishing gear such as downriggers. In this study we document changes in a fish community before …

Monitoring temporal and spatial trends of illegal and legal fishing in marine conservation areas across Canada's three oceans

Josephine C. Iacarella, Lily Burke, Georgia Clyde, Adam Wicks et autres

Abstract Expansion of marine conservation areas (CA) necessitates resource‐efficient and achievable strategies for monitoring and evaluation of ongoing fishing activity at national levels. To demonstrate and explore such a strategy, we conducted the first extensive analysis of fishing activity within Canada's static, …

Application of AIS ‐ and flyover‐based methods to monitor illegal and legal fishing in Canada's Pacific marine conservation areas

Josephine C. Iacarella, Lily Burke, Georgia Clyde, Adam Wicks et autres

Abstract New approaches are required to undertake the substantial task of monitoring ongoing fishing activity in marine conservation areas to ensure conservation goals are achieved. To address this need, we applied previously developed, yet currently underused, vessel tracking methods based on Automatic …

Foundation Species Abundance Influences Food Web Topology on Glass Sponge Reefs

Stephanie K. Archer, AMANDA S. KAHN, Mary Thiess, Lauren Law et autres

Foundation species support communities across a wide range of ecosystems. Non-trophic interactions are considered the primary way foundation species influence communities, with their trophic interactions having little impact on community structure. Here we assess the relative trophic importance of a foundation species …

Climate change and vessel traffic create networks of invasion in marine protected areas

Josephine C. Iacarella, Devin A. Lyons, Lily Burke, Ian Davidson et autres

Abstract Establishment of protected areas to maintain biodiversity requires identification, prioritization and management of stressors that may undermine conservation goals. Nonindigenous species and climate change are critical ecosystem stressors that need greater attention in the context of spatial planning and management of …

Unwanted networks: Vessel traffic heightens the risk of invasions in marine protected areas

Josephine C. Iacarella, Lily Burke, Ian Davidson, Claudio DiBacco et autres

Invasive species pose a significant threat to a primary objective of marine conservation, protecting native biodiversity. To-date, research quantifying invasion risk to marine protected areas (MPAs) is limited despite potential negative consequences. As a first step towards identifying invasion risk to MPAs …
