Evaluating the Effectiveness
of Rights-Based Management
for the Bacalao Fishery at the Galapagos Marine Reserve
Tyler completed
his PhD in Marine Biology at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand
(2011). He is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Lecturer at Dalhousie University
and his work focuses on investigating human impacts on coastal marine ecosystems.
In partnership with the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF), Tyler’s research will
evaluate the impacts of different management strategies in the Galapagos Marine
Reserve. Important components of the research will be the use of underwater
surveys, consultation with fishers, fisheries managers, CDF scientists and Galapagos
National Park rangers, and testing the range of available management strategies
through model simulations.
