Download or read book The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries written by Gabriella Bianchi and published by CABI. This book was released on 2008 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sustainable use of aquatic ecosystems is high on regional, national and international agendas and central to the implementation of international agreements on biological diversity, responsible fisheries and fish stock management. Since 2001, when political commitments were made to implement the ecosystem approach, countries have begun to incorporate ecosystem considerations into their fisheries management and have met with varied success." "The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries covers both theoretical andapplied aspects of sustainable management, with a particular emphasis on reviewing concepts and addressing implementation issues in the form of case studies from around the world. Personal experiences are considered from diverse backgrounds and discuss the constraints encountered, strategies identified and best practices to facilitate further implementation."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Making World Development Work written by Grégoire Leclerc and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The authors reexamine world development - usually the province of economists - as professionals trained in the natural sciences. They show how we have and might use tested scientific and technical procedures and concepts, as well as science itself, to achieve much better results than what has been characteristic of the past. Leclerc and Hall contend that to scholars with a scientific background, the process of development, and the economic logic behind it, often look almost surrealistic. The basic question at the foundation of this review is this: Why should something so important as world development, something capable of absorbing such vast sums of money and of human goodwill, something that impacts the people and the environment so much, continue to be organized and planned using economic techniques and theories that are both unconfirmed experimentally and proven to have led to development failures?"--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Benguela Predicting a Large Marine Ecosystem written by Vere Shannon and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2006-08-17 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book which examines much of what we know and also what we don’t know about the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem and its inherent variability. Building on recent work and exciting findings about the predictability of the Benguela and other coastal upwelling ecosystems, the book takes a look towards the future and highlights the difficulty of making predictions in such a complex and variable region. The book illustrates what scientists and managers from developed and developing countries can achieve by working together, and it lays a solid base upon which to build wise management and ensure sustainable use of the ecosystem. Essential reading and a valuable reference work on the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem Covers what we know about variability in the Benguela and its impacts Provides information on forecasting in the Benguela and offers insight in what is predictable and what is not Discusses key elements of a future integrated observing and forecasting system

Download or read book Climate Change and the Oceans written by Robin Warner and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate Change and the Oceans investigates the effects of climate change on the ocean environment and its implications for maritime activities, both globally and within the Asia Pacific region. This detailed work draws together informed opinion from a range of disciplines to examine the impacts of climate change on marine and coastal areas and review legal and policy responses to the rapidly changing ocean environment. Issues including the effects on fisheries and marine biodiversity in the Asia Pacific region, maritime security, global shipping, marine jurisdiction and marine geo-engineering are also explored. Examining the multiple impacts of climate change on the oceans and ocean based solutions to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change, this thought-provoking book will prove invaluable to academics, researchers and students in the fields of law, environment, ecology and political science. Oceans and marine environmental policymakers will also find this to be an essential resource.

Download or read book How to increase yields of fishing in the ocean How to feed up the world written by Bogdan Góralski and published by Bogdan Góralski. This book was released on 2019-11-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following article is an attempt to discover the mechanism that shapes the fish catches in the oceans and seas. Previous ocean biology studies have found a relationship between fish catches and regional climate change. The author speculates that the same cosmic factors that shape the Earth's climate affect the biological production of the ocean. It is, therefore, necessary to describe the Earth's climate mechanism and we will find the reasons for the variability of fish catches then. Changes in the magnetic activity of the Sun are caused by changes in the gravitational forces of the Solar System, which at the same time interact with the northern hemisphere, which is heavier than the southern hemisphere, causing the Earth's coating to rotate around the Earth's core. The rotation of the earth's coating consisting of crust and mantle is reflected by apparent changes in the location of North Magnetic Field NMP found in paleomagnetic studies. The rotation of the Earth's coating causes changes in the moment of inertia of the Earth's geoid, and thus changes in length of earth’s day LOD, and changes in the centrifugal force affecting the inertial ocean waters and the Earth's crust. Changes in the centrifugal force acting in the surface of the globe caused changes in the Global Mean Sea Level GMSL (the largest changes occur at the equator due to the highest linear speed of Earth's rotation) and changes in upwelling - i.e. movement of vertical and horizontal ocean water caused by centrifugal force. Changes in ocean upwelling cause cooling of ocean water and changes in ocean biological productivity that are correlated with changes in Length Of Earth's Day LOD, changes in Earth's climate (El Nino Southern Oscillation ENSO, Pacific Decadal Oscillation PDO, North Atlantic Oscillation NAO, East Asian Monsoon EAM, Sea Level Pressure SLP), cloud cover over oceans, Earth's flattening coefficient J2 and delta C20, and carbon dioxide emissions from the ocean into the atmosphere. Changes in the centrifugal force acting on the rotating Earth cause displacement of tectonic plates of the earth's crust and changes in the number of 2 earthquakes, as well as the formation and development of subduction zones in which hydrocarbons and other minerals are formed. The relationship between changes in solar activity measured by the number of spots on the sun and changes in LOD confirms the correlation of the physicochemical phenomena described above on Earth with changes in gravity in the solar system. Because LOD changes are correlated with changes in ocean biological productivity and the Earth Orientation Center IERS service provides a semi-annual forecast of LOD changes, it is possible to predict periods of more abundant catches of marine organisms. Seasons of heavy fishing in the ocean occur during significant changes in the Earth's rotational speed accompanied by the cooling of the Sea Surface Temperature SST. Increasing catches will probably be possible because the long-term period of large displacements of the Earth's coating is approaching, which will be accompanied by large changes in the Earth's rotation speed and global cooling of the climate due to the cooling of ocean water. Confirmation of these future geophysical phenomena is important for securing sufficient food supply for human society.
