  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Marine protected areas : gathering stakeholder input via an internet-based survey Author: Demirdjian, Renee Conservation efforts have been increasing in recent years to help preserve threatened coastal and ocean resources. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an important tool to protect and conserve ocean resources. The MPA Center was established to take the lead in developing a framework for a national system of MPAs. The Natural Science Research Strategy (NSRS) for MPAs is a document being created to provide common ground among MPAs and MPA managers across the U.S. It will be a general document discussing the natural science considerations for establishing MPAs e.g., larval dispersal, critical habitat, proximity to land (runoff), etc. The MPA Center wants to engage stakeholders in the process of identifying regional design criteria and research needs for MPAs. An online survey has been chosen to gather this stakeholder input. Hypothetical draft questions regarding MPA design criteria and research needs were developed, survey methodologies were reviewed emphasizing web-based strategies, and a prototype survey developed online. This report outlines the work described above and suggests ways that the MPA Center can move forward with this process.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Persistence of Populations in Environments with an Interface Author: Rekow, James A. We model a fish population in a spatial region comprising a marine protected area and a fishing ground separated by an interface. The model assumes conservation of biomass density and takes the form of a reaction diffusion equation with a logistic reaction term. At the interface, in addition to continuity of biomass density flux, two possible matching conditions are considered: continuity of population density and continuity of biomass density. Neumann conditions are imposed at the physical boundaries. The eigenvalues of the elliptic problem resulting from the linearization of the model are computed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the largest eigenvalue to be positive are determined. We show that there exist positive eigenfunctions corresponding to this eigenvalue. If the largest eigenvalue is positive, the population persists, whereas if this eigenvalue is negative, the population goes extinct. A simple sufficient condition for persistence when biomass density is continuous is that the spatially averaged net growth rate is positive. Similarly, if the spatially averaged net body mass growth rate is positive, the population persists when population is continuous. A brief introduction is given on connections between parabolic partial differential equations and stochastic processes. Questions relating branching stochastic processes and properties of population models that incorporate interfaces are identified.
