This book was released on 1996-10-30 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce document examine, d'un point de vue tant theorique que pratique, les Points de Reference techniques en amenagement des pecheries. A l'echelle mondiale, en depit des investissements considerables affectes a l'evaluation des stocks, les pecheries sont surexploitees. Ceci serait du a un dephasage entre la precision de l'evaluation et celle de la gestion. Deux types de Points de Reference sont identifies: les Points de Reference Cible (PRC) et Points de Reference Limite (PRL). L'utilisation de la Production Maximale Equilibree (connue sous le sigle anglais MSY) comme Point de Reference Cible est reconsideree a la lumiere des performances passees en gestion des pecheries, et l'on suggere que la MSY, ainsi que d'autres Points de Reference anterieurement utilises comme cibles, gagneraient a etre utilises en tant que PRL. La tendance recente consistant a quantifier l'incertitude et a estimer le risque encouru dans les recommandations est consideree comme bonne, mais le cout et la disponibilite de l'information et de l'expertise requises pourraient empecher l'usage de ces techniques pour de nombreux stocks de petite taille ou de faible valeur, ainsi que pour la plupart de ceux des pays en developpement. La tendance recente consistant a prendre en compte des "concepts ecosystemiques" dans l'etablissement des objectifs de gestion des pecheries est egalement souhaitable. Bien qu'ils soient encore peu developpes, les concepts ecosystemiques peuvent neanmoins fournir des Points de Reference Limite. Une gestion efficace necessitera un ensemble de regles qui inclura tant des PRC que des PRL. Dans la plupart des cas de gestion nationale et internationale des pecheries, les structures institutionnelles actuelles devront probablement subir quelques modifications afin d'appliquer avec succes cet ensemble de regles. Les organisations de gestion des pecheries continueront a evaluer et a gerer ces pecheries sur une base reguliere mais l'amenagement pourrait necessiter un examen independant qui sera effectue lorsque l'on se rapprochera de limites de production de la ressource. L'action a entreprendre dans ce cas devra etre examinee et convenue a l'avance."
Download or read book Tools for Oceanography and Ecosystemic Modeling written by André Monaco and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying the Ocean Planet requires measuring and sampling instruments to feed models that take into account its complexity. This book presents the diversity of observation and monitoring techniques at various scales, but also different kinds of model that take into account some conceptual schemes incorporating various scientific knowledge. Sampling is approached via the efficiency of fishing gears; underwater acoustics is used to detect, count, identify and listen to live and mobile living resources. Bio-logging allows us to rely on the behavior of marine animals to help investigate environments that are difficult to sample by conventional means, while listing the physiological changes they undergo. Modeling is presented not only in a functional framework, but also in an exploratory design incorporating various scenarios for ecosystem changes under the pressure of global change. This ninth volume completes the "Seas and Oceans" Set that adopts a transversal approach leading to the governance and sustainable management of the marine environment.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The document "Indicators for the sustainable development of finfish Mediterranean aquaculture: highlights from the InDAM Project" reports the activities carried out during the first year of the InDAM Project "Indicators for Sustainable Development of Aquaculture and Guidelines for their use in the Mediterranean", in support to the GFCM CAQ Working Group on Sustainability in Aquaculture (WGSA). The project focuses on the practical use of the indicators for sustainable aquaculture and their adaptation to the Mediterranean Region. The methodology applied for the identification of the preliminary list of indicators was based on the PCI (Principles, Criteria and Indicators) approach and took into consideration the main outcomes and achievements of the recent projects carried out in the Mediterranean on the identification of indicators for sustainable aquaculture. The document also reports the results of the workshop on the "Selection of indicators for the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Mediterranean Sea" (27-28 November 2008, Montpellier, France), the expert meeting on "Indicators for the sustainable development of aquaculture in the Mediterranean Sea" (24-26 February 2009, Montpellier, France) and the workshop on "Guidelines and application of indicators for sustainable development of aquaculture" (19-20 November 2009, Salammbô, Tunisia), with recommendations given by the WGSA. The two pilot studies on the selection and evaluation of the indicators for aquaculture sustainable development carried out in Mugla, Turkey, and Monastir, Tunisia, are described. The report also includes a series of documents gathered and produced by the experts involved in InDAM activities."--P. [4] of cover.

Book excerpt: This volume includes all the abstracts of the keynotes, oral contributions and posters presented by participants on the occasion of the Forum on Fisheries Science in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (Fish Forum 2018). Organized by the GFCM at FAO headquarters, Rome, Italy, from 10 to 14 December 2018, in collaboration with technical partners, the Fish Forum 2018 is a first-of-the-kind event gathering scientists, researchers, engineers, academics, practitioners, managers and decision-makers from around the world to discuss and share knowledge on the latest developments in fisheries science. The material contained in this book of abstracts stems from the contributions received from participants and selected by an international scientific committee based on their technical quality and relevance. The abstracts are subdivided according to the three main themes of the Fish Forum 2018: Better science for better advice; Healthy seas and sustainable fisheries; and Economic analysis and technology for societal benefit. Each theme is introduced by a keynote presentation, followed by oral presentations and posters. These documents form the basis of the discussions held during parallel sessions and poster sessions of the Fish Forum 2018.
Download or read book Integrated Coastal Zone Management of Coral Reefs written by Kent Gustavson and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The applied research indicates that, to improve awareness, park education programs should be targeted specifically to the user groups primarily through outreach programs. Further, the Park's management programs should be highlighted, particularly the beneficial, tangible products and services (benefits) the Park provides to each user group... The closer the tie between reef conditions and business earnings, the greater the users' support for reef conservation." Coral reefs are sometimes referred to as "canaries of the sea" because of their early warning ability to show near-shore oceanic stress. Because of their biological diversity, they are also called "rainforests of the sea." Coral reefs are vital to the well being of millions of people. Coral reef managers and government officials trying to save their valuable national resources have turned to research on coral reefs for help. The research presented in this publication merits a great deal of notice because the output is useful for decision support and training tools in integrated coastal zone management (ICZM). The work on cost-effectiveness analysis has developed integrated economic and ecological models, relying extensively on fuzzy logic procedures to model impacts and effects of interventions within the reef environment. By contrast, the marine system valuation work provides economic valuations of coral reefs, demonstrating the use of different modeling methods and treating key policy issues within this context. This publication will interest coastal zone experts and managers worldwide

Download or read book Putting Into Practice an Ecosystem Approach to Managing Sea Cucumber Fisheries written by Steven W. Purcell and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2010 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boom-and-bust cycles are commonplace in the exploitation history of sea cucumber fisheries but pandemic overfishing to critical levels now threatens the persistence of breeding stocks for future generations of coastal fishers. Resource managers must embrace an ecosystem approach to fisheries, in which biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services and the concerns of stakeholders are taken into account alongside of the productivity of stocks and the economic gains from fishing. This booklet provides a "roadmap" for developing and implementing better management of sea cucumber fisheries.--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Feminist Politics on the Farm written by Naomi Black and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1999-04-16 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminist Politics on the Farm examines rural women's organizations, politics, feminism, agricultural life, and personal relations. The women studied were clearly progressive in their opinions and the authors show that their original and varied opinions cast doubt on much of the standard literature about non-elite women's understanding of mainstream politics and the women's movement. These rural women differed significantly from the usual stereotypes of farm women as apolitical and conservative. Nor were they the reactionaries implied by theories of modernization. Instead, they were supportive of women's political activism, and of their equality and self-assertiveness, and were as feminist as other women in Canada and France. Political scientist Naomi Black and historian Gail Cuthbert Brandt worked collaboratively, using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Their study is in large part based on a lengthy questionnaire administered by local interviewers in 1988-89 to almost 400 women living on family farms near Bordeaux and Montreal. They also include analyses of the women's organizations to which half of the subjects belonged, Cercles defermières in Quebec and Groupements de développement et de vulgarisation agricole féminins in France. Throughout the book the authors reflect, in language accessible to the general reader, upon the advantages and disadvantages of using conventional quantitative approaches to explore women's experience and opinions.
