“Survival of the fittest: Explanations for gadoid imbalance in heavily fished seas”., Elliot S. et al.

Atlantic cod, haddock and whiting stocks are reacting differently to intense fishing. This study investigated the recruitment of these species within the South Arran MPA. Cod arrived later in the …

The recovery of Lamlash MPA No Take Zone and South Arran MPA: Has protection led to improved biodiversity and habitats? . Notley, W.

This study investigated how biodiversity had changed within two separate zones in an MPA around the south of the Isle of Arran, Scotland – an NTZ, which is fully protected from fishing, and the remaining area which is open to a limited amount of fishing.

The recovery of the commercially valuable scallop species under different forms of protection around the Isle of Arran . James, L.

After ten years of the NTZ being in place (2008), and three years since the MPA was designated (2016), new data were collected in 2019 to compare the differences in densities and population structure of King scallop

The influence of the Lamlash Bay no-take zone, Firth of Clyde, on spatial and temporal variation in the recovery of commercially exploited crustaceans. Carney, W.

Conclusions drawn state that the Lamlash Bay NTZ is boosting lobster biomass within its boundaries and is extremely important in echoing the invaluable contribution of NTZs in restoring and enhancing commercially exploited invertebrate communities.

Investigating spatial trends in biodiversity around the South Arran MPA. Jones, I.

The South Arran marine protected area (MPA) on the West coast of Scotland contains one of only three no-take zones within the UK and has strict management plans for zonation within the MPA. Two years on from it’s formation, this study looks to use baited remote underwater surveys to investigate the fish assemblage and biodiversity within the MPA.

Marine Social Attitudes on Arran. Howarth-Forster, L.

A survey of 314 Arran residents and visitors was conducted to investigate the effects of community engagement by COAST. The results demonstrate that COAST’s conservation efforts have been successful from a social, as well as ecological, standpoint.
