Fisheries management papers
The protection of Western Australia's aquatic animals, plants and habitats is important for many reasons. Fish, and many aquatic invertebrates, have significant commercial, recreational and social importance. Aquatic habitats provide food, refuge and breeding areas for fish and other animals. In addition, some habitats, such as rocky reefs and seagrass meadows, act as nursery sites for juvenile animals. Some habitats and their inhabitants (such as coral reefs) also have aesthetic values which support economically and socially important industries, such as tourism.

Faculty Scholarship – Biology
An American biology professor befriends a Costa Rican farmer who through their relationship stops farming and forest clearing to establish a tourist and research center devoted to saving the country's cloud forest. The Chacon family's experience provides a studied model of sustainability, known in environmental circles as the "White Oak Model."

Cranberry Station Best Management Practices Guide - 2000 Edition
Composting may offer a reasonable alternative to facilitate the management of these leaf piles. Composting hastens natural breakdown processes associated with biological materials. Farm-produced compost fits well as part of a more sustainable food production system. The organic matter produced from the composting process could be incorporated back into the cranberry production system, used in other agricultural settings, or marketed to the public as a soil amendment or mulch.
