Can Dungeness crab and eelgrass help improve management of our marine resources?
02-16-2008 · EurekAlert!NOAA's Anne Guerry will discuss the benefits people obtain from ecosystems in managing marine resources in her AAAS presentation "Ecosystem Services Provided by the Nearshore in Puget Sound: An Analysis of Change." Puget Sound is home to 200 species of fish, 26 species of marine mammals, and over 625 species of seaweed, as well as 3.5 million people. How well the marine systems in Puget Sound function is directly linked to the region's quality of life and economy.

- 'Ten Commandments' could improve fisheries management
02-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
Poorly managed marine fisheries are in trouble around the world, researchers say, while ecosystem-based management is a powerful idea that in theory could help ensure sustainable catches -- but too often there's a gap in translating broad concepts into specific action. To address that, one expert today modified a very old set of rules and issued "Ten Commandments" for ecosystem-based fisheries science, in a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

- Fishermen and UCSB scientists explore ways to improve management of California spiny lobsters
02-07-2008 · EurekAlert!
Unique, collaborative ways to manage fisheries are emerging in Southern California. Currently the California spiny lobster is being scrutinized as Californians evaluate the first five years of marine reserves in the Channel Islands area. An innovative collaboration has developed between local trap fishermen and scientists at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The partnership, called CALobster (www.CALobster.org), has ambitious long-term and short-term goals.

- Cancer control in Europe works; now it is time to extend it to poorer countries
09-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
Only a few years ago cancer was considered to be a disease of Westernized, developed countries, but now the burden is increasingly falling on less-developed countries. A leading epidemiologist told the European Cancer Conference that a major challenge for low-to-medium resource countries would be to find sufficient resources to treat the large numbers of cancers that would be diagnosed in their populations in the coming years.

- Cool findings -- Nanotubes could improve thermal management in electronics
03-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
As the electronics industry continues to churn out smaller and slimmer portable devices, manufacturers have been challenged to find new ways to combat the persistent problem of thermal management. New research published in the March 19 issue of Applied Physics Letters suggests that carbon nanotubes may soon be integrated into ever-shrinking cell phones, digital audio players, and personal digital assistants to help ensure the equipment does not overheat, malfunction, or fail.

- Releasing fish for the future
05-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
NSW Department of Primary Industries fisheries scientists are investigating ways to boost the survival rates of fish caught and then released by anglers. Guidelines designed to improve fish survival were recently developed for released line-caught snapper, silver trevally, mulloway, sand whiting, yellowfin bream and dusky flathead.The research, costing more than $1.5 million and funded by NSW DPI and the Recreational Fishing Trust (using money from licence fees), is developing protocols designed to maximise fish survival via subtle changes to management practices.
