2017 - A COLLABORATIVE STUDY TO DEVELOP AND FACILITATE A FISHERDIRECTED STOCK ASSESSMENT OF CANCER PAGURUS IN THE INSHORE POTTING AREA, SOUTH DEVON.
Emma Pearson
''The UK case study focused on the Cancer pagurus (Linnaeus, 1758) fishery in south Devon, and this thesis endeavours to develop and implement a bottom-up approach in which, fishermen participated in all aspects of the scientific and practical processes that contribute towards the establishment of a local and sustainable management regime''

2017 - Seafarer citizen scientist ocean transparency data as a resource for phytoplankton and climate research.
Secchi Disk Seafarers ,Samantha Lavender, Gregory Beaugrand, Nicholas Outram ,Nigel Barlow ,David Crotty ,Jake Evans ,Richard Kirby
''The oceans’ phytoplankton that underpin the marine food chain appear to be changing in abundance due to global climate change. Here, we compare the first four years of data from a citizen science ocean transparency study, conducted by seafarers using home-made Secchi Disks and a free Smartphone application called Secchi, with contemporaneous satellite ocean colour measurements''.

2016 - Evaluating the impacts of integrating fisheries and conservation management
Sarah Gall
Historically, the governance streams of fisheries and conservation management have run separately to one another, with little attempt at integration despite their similar goals. Efforts to integrate the two have increased as a result of their similarities and the potential benefits that may arise, but a requirement for additional research was identified to determine the effectiveness of this approach. This thesis therefore took an interdisciplinary approach, seeking to combine knowledge and methods from ecological, social and economic disciplines to provide a holistic evaluation of the potential for success.

2007- Evidence for greater reproductive output per unit area in areas protected from fishing.
Michel J. Kaiser, Robert E. Blyth-Skyrme, Paul J.B. Hart, Gareth Edwards-Jones, and David Palmer.
''We examined the effects of the exclusion of towed bottom-fishing gear and harvesting on a population of great scallops Pecten maximus within a management area known as the Inshore Potting Agreement (IPA), Devon, UK (Hart 1998; Blyth et al. 2002). The IPA has been established for over 25 years and is ~500 km2of the sea that was subject to a voluntary agreement among different sectors of the fishing industry until 2002, when it was enforced by government legislation (Fig. 1). The area is divided such that a fixed portion is used exclusively by static gear (pots) fishers that target crab and lobster only, while other areas are open sea- sonally half of the year to towed bottom-fishing gear (trawls and scallop dredges) that target demersal fishes and scallops''.

2004 - Implications of a zoned fishery management system for marine benthic communities
ROBERT E. BLYTH,* MICHEL J. KAISER,* GARETH EDWARDS-JONES† and PAU L J. B. H A RT
The impacts of trawls and dredges on marine benthic habitats and communities havebeen studied extensively, but mostly at small scales and over short time periods. We used scallop dredges to sample benthic communities at sites within andadjacent to the IPA area that had been subjected to four different commercial fishing regimes since the inception of the system.
