“…However, trawling remained marginal on the continental shelf of Tasmania, where seines and hooks and lines had been the main fishing methods, and their use increased through the 1900s (André, Lyle, & Hartmann, ; Bridge, 2009; Patterson et al, ). Traps for rock lobster and gillnets for sharks were introduced in the 1920s and the 1940s, respectively, and soon became popular fishing methods (Hartmann, Gardner, & Hobday, ; Novaglio et al, ; Patterson et al, ; Walker, ).…”

“…In Southeast Australia commercial fishing developed relatively recently, often after the beginning of scientific investigations (Novaglio et al, 2018), as opposed to the situation in most other temperate systems (e.g. the Mediterranean, and in the Black and North seas; Cardinale et al, 2014;Fortibuoni, Libralato, Raicevich, Giovanardi, & Solidoro, 2010;Fortibuoni et al, 2017;Holm, Marboe, Poulsen, & Mackenzie, 2014;Thurstan, Brockington, & Roberts, 2010;Thurstan, Hawkins, & Roberts, 2014).…”

“…Worldwide, the development of fisheries followed a common pattern. This is characterized by a first phase of unregulated harvest, a second phase of rising concerns about the sustainability of marine resources, and a third phase of more intense scientific research aimed at aiding fisheries management (Novaglio et al, ; Roberts, ). As such, ecological assessments are often based on data that were first collected during the later stages of exploitation, and lack information on the full extent of impacts on fish stocks and communities (Ermgassen et al, ; Pinnegar & Engelhard, ).…”

Marine communities have long been impacted by human activities, but the quantification of human‐driven changes often relies on recent data. This is because historical data on fish populations are lacking and are challenging to include in contemporary stock and ecological assessments. As a result, the impacts of early fishing pressure on marine communities are generally poorly documented worldwide. Marine communities of Southeast Australia have a relatively short history of exploitation compared with other temperate systems and were sampled before and after the onset of commercial fishing. As such, they provide a rare opportunity to identify historical baselines and to understand ecological changes after the onset of commercial exploitation. This study compares survey data collected around Tasmania, Southeast Australia, in 1909–1910 with data from the 1980s. The period considered precedes the establishment of a trawl fishery in Southeast Australia in 1915, of other important commercial fisheries in Tasmania, and of a fisheries data collection programme in 1984. Nominal catch rates are used to examine changes across all families of demersal fish recorded in catches and generalized linear models are used to estimate and compare standardized indices of abundance between the 1909–1910 and 1980s data for key commercial families. Results show significant, and thus far unreported, fishing‐induced changes in marine communities after the establishment of commercial fishing in the region. Changes mostly relate to shifts in catch composition and steep declines in the abundance of the main commercial families. This study illustrates a method for analysing low‐quality historical catch data and provides estimates of pre‐commercial fishing abundance that can be included in stock and ecological assessments. More broadly, this study demonstrates the significant role of early fishing in shaping marine communities and increases our understanding about general patterns of exploitation that have been difficult to identify with longer but less detailed fishing histories.

“…Além disso, estimativas das capturas da pesca recreativa são incertas devido às dificuldades da conversão do número de peixes em peso para comparação com outras pescarias (Cisneros-Montemayor et al, 2018;Novaglio et al 2018). A escassez de informações sobre a pesca esportiva dificulta o manejo e a mensuração de benefícios e impactos.…”

O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar a pesca e os aspectos socioeconômicos dos pescadores esportivos na Plataforma Marítima de Pesca Amadora de Mongaguá (São Paulo, Brasil), Sudoeste do Atlântico Sul. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas e exemplares capturados foram identificados, pesados e medidos. Foram entrevistados 114 pescadores, predominantemente do sexo masculino, com idade média de 51,0 (± 13,5) anos, entre dezembro de 2012 e agosto de 2016. As pescarias em grupos duraram 8,2 (± 4,8) horas, com captura média de 9,4 (± 11,8) peixes/pescador/dia e 1,9 ±3,5 kg/dia/pescador. A captura média anual de 30.120 (± 23.177), superior à 40% da pesca comercial desembarcada no município, no mesmo período (65.145,9 ±16.575,7 kg). A espécie mais procurada foi Trichiurus lepturus (peixe espada), embora os mais capturados tenham sido os bagres (família Ariidae). Foi possível registrar diferentes combinações de técnicas, aparelhos e iscas na captura de espécies com preferências de habitats distintos sob a plataforma. Os pescadores esportivos apontaram problemas relacionados à infraestrutura, conflitos com a pesca comercial e praticantes de surfing, assim como, problemas ecológicos relacionados a redução no tamanho dos peixes capturados. Recomendamos medidas de manejo integrado, que considerem os grupos sociais envolvidos, bem como, a sustentabilidade da atividade.

Ocean resource use: building the coastal blue economy

Humans have relied on coastal resources for centuries. However, current growth in population and increased accessibility of coastal resources through technology have resulted in overcrowded and often conflicted spaces. The recent global move towards development of national blue economy strategies further highlights the increased focus on coastal resources to address a broad range of blue growth industries. The need to manage sustainable development and future exploitation of both over-utilised and emergent coastal resources is both a political and environmental complexity. To address this complexity, we draw on the perspectives of a multi-disciplinary team, utilising two in depth exemplary case studies in New Zealand and within the Myanmar Delta Landscape, to showcase barriers, pathways and actions that facilitate a move from Business as Usual (BAU) to a future aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UN International Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–2030. We provide key recommendations to guide interest groups, and nations globally, towards sustainable utilisation, conservation and preservation of their marine environments in a fair and equitable way, and in collaboration with those who directly rely upon coastal ecosystems. We envision a sustainable future driven by conflict mitigation and resolution, where: Change is motivated and facilitated Coastal ecosystems are co-managed by multiple reliant groups Networks that maintain and enhance biodiversity are implemented Decision-making is equitable and based on ecosystem services Knowledge of the marine realm is strengthened—‘mapping the ocean of life’ The interests of diverse user groups are balanced with a fair distribution of benefits
