Small‐scale fisheries are an important livelihood and primary protein source for coastal communities in many of the poorest regions in the world, yet many are overfished and thus require effective and scalable management solutions. Positive ecological and socioeconomic responses to management typically lag behind immediate costs borne by fishers from fishing pressure reductions necessary for fisheries recovery. These short‐ter...

Aim We evaluated underlying mechanisms and genetic effects of climate‐driven range expansion of Rhizophora mangle L., a coastal foundation species, along both West ( WFL ) and East ( EFL ) Florida, USA . Location Eight sites encompassing the entire Florida R. mangle range at a regional scale. Methods We characterized R. mangle population genetic structure with a combination of genetic analyses using seven microsatellite loci a...

The designation of no‐take marine reserves involves social and economic concerns due to the resulting displacement of fishing effort, when fishing rights are removed from those who traditionally fished within an area. Displacement can influence the functioning of the fishery and success of the reserve, yet levels of displacement are seldom quantified after reserve implementation and very rarely before that. We devised a simple...
