Seventy-One Important Questions for the Conservation of Marine Biodiversity

• E C M PARSONS, BRETT FAVARO, +18 authors WILLIAM J SUTHERLAND
• Conservation biology : the journal of the Society…
• 2014

The ocean provides food, economic activity, and cultural value for a large proportion of humanity. Our knowledge of marine ecosystems lags behind that of terrestrial ecosystems, limiting effective protection of marine resources. We describe the outcome of 2 workshops in 2011 and 2012 to establish a list of important questions, which, if answered, would… (More)

Policy-making: Scientists cannot compete as lobbyists.

• Nature
• 2012

Anti-whaling organizations are often presented as conservationists (Nature 481, 114; 2012). But for conservation efforts to advance, we need to resolve the differences between animal welfare, which is concerned with individuals, and environmental conservation, which focuses on maintaining populations, species and ecosystems. Anti-whaling organizations spend… (More)

/ http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/recent / 21 June 2012 / Page 1/ 10.1126/science.1225523 Canada’s reputation as a natural wonderland has taken a beating lately from an unlikely foe: its own government. Over the past months, deep budget cuts to departments with environmental responsibilities have been announced, including the closure of entire… (More)

Trends in Extinction Risk for Imperiled Species in Canada

• Brett Favaro, Danielle C. Claar, Caroline H. Fox, Cameron Freshwater, Jessica J. Holden, Allan Roberts
• PloS one
• 2014

Protecting and promoting recovery of species at risk of extinction is a critical component of biodiversity conservation. In Canada, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) determines whether species are at risk of extinction or extirpation, and has conducted these assessments since 1977. We examined trends in COSEWIC… (More)

Will you swim into my parlour? In situ observations of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) interactions with baited pots, with implications for gear design

• Phillip Meintzer, Philip Walsh, Brett Favaro
• PeerJ
• 2017

Pots (also known as traps) are baited fishing gears widely used in commercial fisheries, and are being considered as a tool for harvesting Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Pots produce lower environmental impacts than many other fishing gears, but they will only be a viable fishing strategy if they are efficient and… (More)

After concerns were raised in an e-mail to the editors from a reader, the corresponding author supervised a comprehensive evaluation of all data presented in the original manuscript by… (More)

Canada at a crossroad_ The imperative for realigning ocean policy with ocean science

• Megan Bailey, Brett Favaro, +15 authors Rashid Sumaila
• 2015

Canada's ocean ecosystem health and functioning is critical to sustaining a strong maritime economy and resilient coastal communities. Yet despite the importance of Canada's oceans and coasts, federal ocean policy and management have diverged substantially from marine science in the past decade. In this paper, key areas where this is apparent are reviewed:… (More)
