New oceanographic insight pinpoints marine ‘hotspots of risk’

Using a novel, high-resolution ‘Lagrangian Coherent Structures’ mapping technique, scientists are able to model dynamic features in ocean surface currents. The capacity for improved, near real-time mapping of ocean fronts and eddies may now help alert fishermen and fisheries managers to the increased risk so they can try to avoid those protected species and better target the species they are after.
