  • Researchers are divided over the wisdom of using estimates of the amount of fish hauled in each year to assess the health of fisheries.

  • To sustain the seas, advocates of marine protected areas and those in fisheries management must work together, not at cross purposes, urges Ray Hilborn.

  • One approach to sustainable fisheries is that of co-management, in which fishers and managers take joint responsibility for regulation. The evidence that this works is largely anecdotal, so this study systematically examined 130 co-managed fisheries. Several attributes of co-management were required for success, with leadership being the most important. A total of 8 attributes of co-management were required for a successful fishery, and above this number there was a linear relationship between the extent of co-management and success.

  • The value of having a diversity of species within an ecosystem is well appreciated: species-rich communities are thought to produce more stable ecosystem services. But population diversity within a species is important too. Here, the effects of diversity in population and life history in a heavily exploited Alaskan salmon species are quantified. The results show that population diversity increases the resilience of this ecosystem, and hence the value of salmon fisheries.

  • Economies dependent on natural resources could gain resilience to abrupt ecosystem and market shifts through proactive risk-buffering approaches. Using data from Alaskan fisheries, Clineet al. show that communities relying on diverse fisheries were more resilient to major ocean and market regime shifts in 1989.

  • Population dynamics depends on the interaction of dispersal and local adaptation, yet empirical evidence showing the role of these processes is scarce. Here, Peterson et al.show that in a wild population of salmon, gene flow is limited by selection against immigrants rather than by barriers to dispersal.

  • Tanzania's iconic national park must not be divided by a highway, say Andrew Dobson, Markus Borner, Tony Sinclair and 24 others. A route farther south would bring greater benefits to development and the environment.

  • Wise management is critical to sustaining fisheries. This study finds that rebuilding plans, ratification of international agreements and harvest control rules yield strong benefits and that these are cumulative.
