Description:
Fisheries bycatch is one of the top threats to marine mammals worldwide. Data on bycatch and marine mammal abundance are required to make management decisions, yet many marine mammal populations exist in locations where these data are sparse. Population models offer a way to explore the long-term impacts of different bycatch scenarios even when data are sparse or absent. Our modeling tool, mmrefpoints, uses very basic information about marine mammal life history, estimates of abundance and bycatch, and population models to project long-term (e.g., 20-100 yr) outcomes of different bycatch rates. These long-term outcomes are the basis of several reference points used for marine mammal management including the Potential Biological Removal (PBR) approach (Wade, 1998). The goal is to make complex population models accessible to managers and stakeholders who need them, and to students who are learning about risk-based approaches to managing marine mammal populations.
