  10. REVERSING ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION TRENDS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND GULF OF THAILANDWWW.UNEPSCS.ORG Simulated dispersal Simulated dispersal with wind effects typical of April (Villanoy 2006). Red ellipses indicate areas where settled particles originate from several sources. Grey lines indicate possible but weak dispersal, apparent only after 30 days.

  38. REVERSING ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION TRENDS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA AND GULF OF THAILANDWWW.UNEPSCS.ORG Summary of results of simulation • Collapse of management regime will lead to overall decline of the harvestable biomass • Partial management will lead to the biggest overall increase in the harvestable biomass but drastic decline of important commodity like the “blue crab” • Sound management will lead to a moderate increase in the harvestable biomass but increase in the desirable species especially the carnivores
