Download or read book A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species written by Robert A. Francis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade, they invade and colonize new habitats, often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e.g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e.g. buildings, road and water supply), to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread, as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups, based on their severity of economic impact, geographic distribution outside of their native range, extent of research, and recognition of the ecological severity of the impact of the species by the IUCN. As well as some of the very well-known species, the book also covers some invasives that are emerging as serious threats. Examples covered include a range of aquatic and riparian plants, insects, molluscs, crustacea, fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals, as well as some major pathogens of aquatic organisms. The book also includes overview chapters synthesizing the ecological impact of invasive species in fresh water and summarizing practical implications for the management of rivers and other freshwater habitats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological invasion, an issue of growing importance due to the significant increase in international transportation and trade, can disturb the balance of local ecosystems and even destroy them.

It also includes contributions reporting on the current status of invasion and the properties of alien species in East Asia.
Download or read book Management and Conservation of Seagrass in New Zealand written by Stephanie Turner and published by Science & Technical Publishing Department of Conservation. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, seagrass management and conservation have received increased attention over the last decade. To date, however, there has been a paucity of available information specific to New Zealand about seagrass beds as an ecosystem component and which could be used to assist resource managers in decision making. This report has been prepared primarily for coastal resource managers, to assist in the management and conservation of seagrass. It provides a review of the current state of knowledge in New Zealand, within the context of international seagrass research. There are some key characteristics that set New Zealand seagrass habitat apart from many temperate and tropical systems. In New Zealand, the seagrass flora is represented by one genus, Zostera, in the family Zosteraceae. Seagrass occurs predominantly intertidally in New Zealand, although it may extend into the shallow subtidal areas of sheltered estuaries, and permanently submerged beds of seagrass have been recorded around a small number of offshore islands. While a lot is known about seagrasses in other regions, the role that these plants play and just how important they are in estuarine and coastal ecosystems in New Zealand is less well understood and to date has been the subject of limited study. The relative importance or magnitude of the multiple ecosystem functions of seagrass beds may vary considerably within and between different estuarine and coastal systems. For successful management, a specific understanding of seagrass ecology within New Zealand is required, preferably at the regional or estuary scale, rather than relying on international paradigms.
Download or read book Road Pricing and Provision written by Michael de Percy and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Road pricing is not a new concept—toll roads have existed in Australia since Governor Macquarie established one from Sydney to Parramatta in 1811—and distance-based charging schemes have been trialled and implemented with varying success overseas. But how would full market reform of roads look in a federation like Australia? In its responses to the 2016 Australian Infrastructure Plan and the 2015 Competition Policy Review, the Australian Government explicitly supported investigating cost-reflective road pricing as a long-term reform option, and has committed to establishing a study chaired by an eminent Australian to look into the potential impacts of road pricing reform on road users. The challenges we face in this space are manifold and complex, and we still have a long road ahead of us. However, with advocacy for reform coming from interest groups as diverse as governments, private transport companies, peak industry bodies, policy think tanks and state motoring clubs, there is now more support than ever before for changing the way we provide for and fund our roads. This book seeks to advance the road reform agenda by presenting some of the latest thinking on road pricing and provision from a variety of disciplinary approaches—researchers, economists and public sector leaders. It stresses the need for reform to ensure Australians can enjoy the benefits of efficient and sustainable transport infrastructure as our population and major metropolitan cities continue to grow. Traffic congestion is avoidable, but we must act soon. The works presented here all point to the need for change—the expertise and the technology are available, and the various reform options have been mapped out in some detail. It is time for the policy debate to shift to how, rather than if, road reform should progress.
