DESCRIPTION:As apex predators\, marine mammals like sea lions and seals (e
 .g.\, pinnipeds) play important regulatory roles in marine systems. Howeve
 r\, for much of human history\, marine mammals have been exploited for mea
 t\, their pelts\, or to stop them ‘stealing’ from fisheries or damagin
 g fishing gear. This exploitation pushed many marine mammal populations to
  the edge of extinction during the 18th and 19th centuries. In the 20th ce
 ntury\, the widespread introduction of protective legislation has allowed 
 many marine mammal populations to recover. Sadly\, this recovery has fired
  up conflict between these animals and fisheries. Conflict imposes large n
 egative impacts on fisheries\, but also on the recovery prospects of these
  animal populations. In this presentation\, I will discuss some of my grou
 p’s ongoing work to model the dynamics of this conflict under climate ch
 ange and quantify its impacts on both fisheries and marine mammal populati
 ons.
