A Trans-Tasman collaboration between IMAS & @aucklanduni.bsky.social researchers shows Longspined Sea Urchins are a huge threat to NE #NewZealand marine ecosystems. And as the region is at lower latitudes, the impact there could outstrip what we've seen in #Tasmania. Study: doi.org/10.1016/j.je...

A new study in @naturesustain.bsky.social reveals that establishing a commercial fishery to intentionally overfish an unwanted yet marketable species, like the Longspined Sea #Urchin in #Tasmania, can be a sustainable option to protect vital marine ecosystems: utas.au/EattheProblem
📑 #NewStudy by Cresswell et al. unpicks the paradoxical situation of a government-subsidised campaign for OVER #fishing: targeting an overgrazing sea urchin to counteract the impacts of #climatechange. 👀 doi.org/10.1038/s418...
Our latest research paper in Nature Sustainability explores concepts of utilising a commercial harvest industry to control range extending, invasive, or overabundant species. lnkd.in/gMfkgzNr Full access link:https://rdcu.be/edo8f
