Rodriguez-Basalo et al, 2026, Prioritizing conservation areas in marine management planning – An approach integrating fisheries economic data ScienceDirect
Rodríguez-Basalo et al. (2026) developed a marine spatial planning approach that integrates fisheries economic data into the identification of conservation priority areas. The study shows that incorporating information on fishing activity and economic value can help design conservation measures that achieve biodiversity objectives while minimizing impacts on fishing communities, supporting more balanced and effective marine management decisions.
