Is it Easier to Manage Baleen Whales than Fish? Tails of Successes

Abstract: Uncertainty in fisheries management is pervasive. It has often been stated that counting fish is like counting trees, except trees don't move and you can see them. Managers of fisheries and commercial and aboriginal whaling both aim to achieve a balance between conservation and utilization. Perhaps surprisingly, there is strong evidence that even when there is harvesting, aspects of the biology and monitoring of baleen whales makes it possible to achieve management goals fairly often. These aspects include the ability to estimate absolute abundance with reasonable precision for many stocks of baleen whales, the availability of data to inform estimates of likely population growth rates, and the implementation of precautionary harvest control rules which have been tested using simulations. I will review the status of baleen whale and the fish stocks worldwide and identify what fisheries can learn from marine mammal management.

Italian Film Series
- Location: > See description for location
- Cost: 0
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: Italian Film Series - "The Icicle Thief" (1989)
7:00 PM on Wednesday, October 4, 2017
Liberal Arts room 117
Join us for our 3rd Annual Italian Film Series at UMass Dartmouth, co-sponsored by the Foreign Literature and Languages Department and the History Department. This semester, we will be delving into various films of the commedia italian (Italian comedy) that make light of and meddle with the past.
To begin this semester's film series we will show The Icicle Thief (1989):
The director Maurizio Nichetti is invited by a TV studio to introduce a screening of his best-known film, the neo-realist classic 'Ladri di saponette'. But Nichetti is horrified to discover that his black-and-white tale of life in poverty is constantly interrupted by garish colour commercials, and even more horrified when a power cut in the studio causes film and commercials to be mixed up -a glamorous model finds herself in the arms of an unemployed pauper, while his wife finds herself in consumer heaven. So Nichetti has to break into the film to try to sort everything out (Michael Brooke, IMDB).
Free admission. All films have English subtitles.
Any questions may be directed to Prof. Rose Facchini at rose.facchini@umassd.edu or Prof. Matthew Sneider at msneider@umassd.edu.
