  1. “Rapid worldwide depletion of predatory fish” (Myers & Worm 2003) CATCH PER UNIT EFFORT Pacific Ocean Indian Ocean Atlantic Ocean Year Bluefin tuna Swordfish

  2. What would happen to the value of the world’s pelagic fisheries if we closed the high seas? • How would changing the size of the EEZs change the outcome? • Is there an optimal EEZ size and high seas open/closed design that maximizes sustainable fishery value? • What are the conservation effects?

  3. Mismatch between TURF size and scales of larval dispersal TURF TURF TURF Lost resource Lost resource

  4. Mismatch between TURF size and scales of larval dispersal TURF TURF TURF • Solutions: • Make TURFs large (White and Costello 2010)

  5. Mismatch between TURF size and scales of larval dispersal TURF TURF TURF $ $ $ $ • Solutions: • Make TURFs large (White and Costello 2010) • Share revenues or profits among TURFs (Cardin and White 2013)

  6. Mismatch between TURF size and scales of larval dispersal Marine Reserve TURF TURF Resource returned • Solutions: • Make TURFs large (White and Costello 2010) • Share revenues or profits among TURFs (Cardin and White 2013) • Convert some TURFs to marine reserves (Costello and Kaffine 2009)

Mismatch between TURF size and scales of larval dispersal Marine Reserve TURF TURF TURF • Solutions: • Make TURFs large (White and Costello 2010) • Share revenues or profits among TURFs (Cardin and White 2013) • Convert some TURFs to marine reserves (Costello and Kaffine 2009) • Create trans-TURF MPAs (Toseland and Costello In Prep)

  11. Exclusive Economic Zones International marine spatial property rights One bluefin tuna in the year 2000 376 tuna in 2000-2009 Block et al. 2005 Block et al. 2011 = XEEZ What would be the effects of changing XEEZ? What if the remaining high seas was a marine reserve?
