Using Spatial Ecology of Marine Predators to Inform Management ans Sustainability of Ocean Ecosystems
Sara Maxwell, Department of Biological Sciences, ODU
Spatial ecology of marine predators plays an important role in the management and sustainability of marine ecosystems. Dr. Maxwell will illustrate examples of the interplay of spatial ecology and management in Central West Africa and the US West Coast, focusing on a broad suite of marine predators including sea turtles, whales and pinnipeds. Additionally, she will demonstrate how concepts including cumulative impacts, marine spatial planning and dynamic ocean management are critical considerations for management of marine predators and ecosystems.
