Lost opportunity: Quantifying the dynamic economic impact of time‐area fishery closures

Time‐area closures are an important tool for reducing fisheries bycatch, but their effectiveness and economic impact can be influenced by the changes in species distributions. For fisheries targeting highly mobile species, the economic impact of a closure may by highly dynamic, depending on the current suitability of the closed area for the target species. We present an analysis to quantify the fine‐scale economic impact of time‐area closures:...
