Costa, Bárbara Horta e; Claudet, Joachim; Franco, Gustavo; Erzini, Karim; Caro, Anthony; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoDudley et al. [9] commented on our paper [11], arguing that the current IUCN objective-based categorization of protected areas, which is also used in marine protected areas (MPAs), should not be abandoned and replaced by the new regulation-based classification system [11]. Here we clarify that we do not advocate replacing the current IUCN categories, but highlight the benefits of using both the objective-based ...
A regulation-based classification system for marine protected areas (MPAs)
Costa, Bárbara Horta e; Claudet, Joachim; Franco, Gustavo; Erzini, Karim; Caro, Anthony; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoDados suplementares associados com este artigo disponíveis na versão online em: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.marpol.2016.06.021; Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a global conservation and management tool to enhance the resilience of linked social-ecological systems with the aim of conserving biodiversity and providing ecosystem services for sustainable use. However, MPAs implemented worldwide include a large va...
Habitat associations and behavioural patterns of Symphodus spp. (Pisces: Labridae)
Rodrigues, Diana Duarte; Costa, Bárbara Horta e; Cabral, Henrique; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoThe complexity and diversity of physical and biotic habitats are important features influencing the composition of shallow water reef fish assemblages, especially in temperate regions where abundant and diverse algal cover may have an important habitat-forming role. Coastal fish have adapted to these diverse habitats and to the temporal and spatial variations of algal assemblages in different ways. Wrasses are ...

Assessment of catches, landings and fishing effort as useful tools for MPA mana...
Batista, Marisa I.; Costa, Bárbara Horta e; Gonçalves, Leonel; Henriques, Miguel; Erzini, Karim; Caselle, Jennifer E.; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoMarine protected areas (MPAs) have been widely recognized as a tool to achieve both fisheries management and conservation goals. Simultaneously achieving these multiple goals is difficult due to conflicts between conservation (often long-term) and economic (often short-term) objectives. MPA implementation often includes additional control measures on fisheries (e.g. vessel size restrictions, gear exclusion, cat...

Almada, Frederico; Abecasis, David; Villegas-Ríos, David; Henriques, Sofia; Pais, Miguel Pessanha; Batista, Marisa Isabel; Costa, Bárbara Horta eThe Selvagens Islands are located in the northeastern Atlantic between the Canary Islands and Madeira Island. As a result of their small size, remote location and harsh sea conditions only a few studies have been conducted to describe their marine species diversity. We were able to identify 29 new coastal fish species, an increase of 33% in the ichthyofauna described for these islands (n = 88). There is a preva...

Fishers’ Behaviour in Response to the Implementation of a Marine Protected Area
Costa, Bárbara Horta e; Batista, Marisa I.; Gonçalves, Leonel; Erzini, Karim; Caselle, Jennifer E.; Cabral, Henrique; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoMarine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been widely proposed as a fisheries management tool in addition to their conservation purposes. Despite this, few studies have satisfactorily assessed the dynamics of fishers’ adaptations to the loss of fishing grounds. Here we used data from before, during and after the implementation of the management plan of a temperate Atlantic multiple-use MPA to examine the factors affec...

Costa, Bárbara Horta e; Gonçalves, Leonel; Gonçalves, Emanuel JoãoMarine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly proposed as a fisheries management tool besides theirconservation purposes. When assessing the ecological, economic, and social-cultural impacts of protec-tion, the dynamics of fisheries and fishers reallocation within and around multiple-use MPAs should beanalyzed. Despite this, few studies incorporate the baseline information of fisheries distribution, there-fore...
