DESCRIPTION:Abstract: As apex predators\, marine mammals like sea lions an
 d seals (e.g.\, pinnipeds) play important regulatory roles in marine syste
 ms. However\, for much of human history\, marine mammals have been exploit
 ed for meat\, their pelts\, or to stop them ‘stealing’ from fisheries 
 or damaging fishing gear. This exploitation pushed many marine mammal popu
 lations to the edge of extinction during the 18th and 19th centuries. In t
 he 20th century\, the widespread introduction of protective legislation ha
 s allowed many marine mammal populations to recover. Sadly\, this recovery
  has fired up conflict between these animals and fisheries. Conflict impos
 es large negative impacts on fisheries\, but also on the recovery prospect
 s of these animal populations. In this presentation\, I will discuss some 
 of my group’s ongoing work to model the dynamics of this conflict under 
 climate change and quantify its impacts on both fisheries and marine mamma
 l populations.
