Evaluating the feasibility of switching to catch-and-release shark derbies in Nova Scotia: fisher and public opinions, legislation, and policy

Evaluating the feasibility of switching to catch-and-release shark derbies in Nova Scotia: fisher and public opinions, legislation, and policy Many derbies around the world use catch-and-release rather than catch-and-kill as a method for game fishing. Given that sharks are an important part of the marine ecosystem and their populations are declining worldwide, effective conservation and… Details

What do we do?

What do we do? At the Worm Lab we are investigating patterns of marine biodiversity, which is the abundance and richness of marine species in all oceans.  There are four major questions that guide our research: How is marine biodiversity distributed across the globe, and how is that changing over time? What are the consequences… Details
