There has been a marked increase in the number of artificial reefs being deployed around the world, many of which are designed to increase catches of recreationally-targeted fish species. As artificial reef deployments should be accompanied by clear and measurable goals and thus subsequent environmental impact monitoring and performance evaluation, there is a need to develop cost-effective monitoring programs. This study provides proof of concept for a citizen science approach to monitoring the fish faunas of artificial reefs (Reef Vision). Recreational fishers were recruited to collect video samples using Baited Remote Underwater Video systems and submit the resultant footage for analysis and interpretation by professional scientists. Reef Vision volunteers were able to collect enough data of sufficient quality to monitor the Bunbury and Dunsborough artificial reefs in Geographe Bay, south-western Australia. Data were extracted from the footage and used in robust univariate and multivariate analyses, which determined that a soak time of 45 min was sufficient to capture ≥ 95% of the number of species, abundance, diversity and composition of the fish fauna. The potential for these data to detect differences in the characteristics of the fish fauna between reefs and seasons was also investigated and confirmed. With the continuing deployment of artificial reefs around the world, the use of similar cost-effective citizen science monitoring approaches can help determine the effectiveness of these structures in achieving their aims and goals and provide valuable data for researchers, managers and decision makers. Projects such as Reef Vision can also benefit volunteers and communities by enhancing social values, creating ownership over research projects and fostering stewardship of aquatic resources.

This study used a sequential, primarily explanatory, mixed methods analysis to investigate the relationships between Psychological Inflexibility (the central concept of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ‘ACT’), Early Maladaptive Schemas (a key concept of Schema Therapy) and Burnout, and how these factors might inform appropriate interventions.\ud \ud The first component of this study used an online survey combining the Maslach Burnout Inventory–General Survey (MBI-GS, Maslach et al., 1996), the AAQ-ii (Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Bond et al., 2011) and the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-S3, Young, 2005), along with additional demographic items. A total of 506 participants completed the survey. Quantitative results demonstrated significant relationships between Psychological Inflexibility, a number of Early Maladaptive Schemas, specific demographic variables, and Burnout. Based on these relationships, a number of regression models were created to explain variance in the three dimensions of Burnout measured (Emotional Exhaustion, Cynicism and Professional Efficacy). Additionally principal components (‘factor’) analysis was used to create a single burnout factor, used in additional regression-modelling.\ud \ud The second component of this study used thematic analysis to analyse data collected from interviews with six therapists experienced in working with symptoms of burnout, three identifying themselves as ACT Therapists and three as Schema Therapists. The analysis of the ACT Therapist data resulted in four superordinate themes: 1) Key ACT Concepts and Burnout, 2) Clinical Observations, 3) Assessment and Intervention Principles, and 4) Intervention Specifics. The analysis of the Schema Therapist data also resulted in four superordinate themes: 1) Coping styles, 2) Schema Modes, 3) Understanding Burnout - The Clinician’s Perspective, and 4) Formulation and Intervention.\ud \ud The results from both components are discussed in the context of published literature, relevance to counselling psychology, potential interventions and opportunities for future research.
