Ecosystem modelling indicates that adding fertilizer to water reservoirs pays off
In the simulated Arrow Lakes Reservoir, fish fared better when nutrients were added to the water, regardless of whether the water flow was high or low.
PROFILE: Finding novel ways to use modelling to solve oceans, fisheries and social problems
GOM took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic, moving online, and connecting with researchers from 29 countries.
FCRR: Ecosystem modelling to support fisheries management efforts in the Nyali-Mombasa area, coastal Kenya
Part of the Sustainable Poverty Alleviation from Costal Ecosystem Services project (SPACES), this research addresses how we can best develop sustainable, effective fisheries decisions, while preserving the livelihoods of fishers and their dependents
