Abstract
⺠We develop an Ecopath with Ecosim model for the pelagic marine ecosystem off Baja California Sur, Mexico. ⺠We test results of management policies for recreational billfishing and shark longlining. ⺠Reductions in fishing effort have positive effects on targeted species. ⺠Ecological dynamics can cause counter-intuitive policy outcomes and must be taken into account.
