Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study proposes a plan for the coordination of governmental ocean management initiatives for the Gulf of Maine region. The proposed plan has been constructed in light of the changing ocean jurisdiction framework brought about by the Third U.N. Law of the Sea Conference and the continuing realignment of Federal-State relationships. The objective of this planning effort was to design an efficient procedure for coordinating existing and future ocean uses and management programs, while simultaneously minimizing economic and political costs. Current and future marine uses of the Gulf of Maine are examined and described in the study. The plan proposes establishment of a Federal level Marine Affairs Council, within the Executive Office of the President, and formation of a Regional Ocean Management Council for the Gulf of Maine. The Marine Affairs Council would be composed of all relevant Executive branch department/agency heads and, would be chaired by the Vice-President. The Regional Ocean Management Council would be composed of Governors from adjacent States, regional Executive branch administrators, and a Presidential appointee and, would be open to participation from the marine user community. The study recommends that the proposed plan be implemented by legislative initiative or by Executive Order of the President. The roles of the U.S. Coast Guard in the proposed regional and Federal ocean management bodies are discussed in view of the current resource shortages being faced by this marine service agency.

Download or read book Ecosystem Based Fisheries Management written by Jason Link and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responsible fisheries management is of increasing interest to the scientific community, resource managers, policy makers, stakeholders and the general public. Focusing solely on managing one species of fish stock at a time has become less of a viable option in addressing the problem. Incorporating more holistic considerations into fisheries management by addressing the trade-offs among the range of issues involved, such as ecological principles, legal mandates and the interests of stakeholders, will hopefully challenge and shift the perception that doing ecosystem-based fisheries management is unfeasible. Demonstrating that EBFM is in fact feasible will have widespread impact, both in US and international waters. Using case studies, underlying philosophies and analytical approaches, this book brings together a range of interdisciplinary topics surrounding EBFM and considers these simultaneously, with an aim to provide tools for successful implementation and to further the debate on EBFM, ultimately hoping to foster enhanced living marine resource management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the North-East Atlantic Ocean as an example of regional practice, this book addresses the dual approach to ocean governance in international law. It examines the interaction between zonal and integrated management approaches and the conservation of marine living resources and marine biological diversity. The study examines the limitations of the traditional zonal approach and suggests new possibilities for conformity between sovereign states, international law and sustainable development.

Download or read book Managing Ocean Environments in a Changing Climate written by Kevin J. Noone and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Ocean Environments in a Changing Climate summarizes the current state of several threats to the global oceans. What distinguishes this book most from previous works is that this book begins with a holistic, global-scale focus for the first several chapters and then provides an example of how this approach can be applied on a regional scale, for the Pacific region. Previous works usually have compiled local studies, which are essentially impossible to properly integrate to the global scale. The editors have engaged leading scientists in a number of areas, such as fisheries and marine ecosystems, ocean chemistry, marine biogeochemical cycling, oceans and climate change, and economics, to examine the threats to the oceans both individually and collectively, provide gross estimates of the economic and societal impacts of these threats, and deliver high-level recommendations. Nominated for a Katerva Award in 2012 in the Economy category State of the science reviews by known marine experts provide a concise, readable presentation written at a level for managers and students Links environmental and economic aspects of ocean threats and provides an economic analysis of action versus inaction Provides recommendations for stakeholders to help stimulate the development of policies that would help move toward sustainable use of marine resources and services

This book was released on 1984 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘This Report, coming as it does soon after the adoption of the new Convention on the Law of the Sea, provides an opportunity for Commonwealth countries of the Asia/Pacific region to assess the legal, political and developmental implications of the new order of the oceans in national terms against the background of existing sub-regional, regional and international co-operation in ocean affairs. Although the study relates to the marine regions of Commonwealth countries of the Asia/Pacific regions, it will be apparent that in view of the diversity of the ocean environment and the widely differing stages of economic development within that region, the Report will be of relevance to other regions of the world.’ - From the Report.‘The oceans of the world, along with outer space, are perhaps the last great frontiers to resist our explorative propensities… but, as technology advances, so the possibilities of exploiting the resources of the oceans – their minerals and hydrocarbons, their renewable energy potential and their food supplies – are coming within man’s grasp; … The Report seeks to draw together the bewildering array of information already available; to assess what action is being taken at national, bilateral and multilateral levels; and to identify policy operations for individual governments, and opportunities for enhancing co-operation between governments.’ - From the Foreword by Commonwealth Secretary-General Shridath Ramphal.

Download or read book Ecosystem Based Management for the Oceans written by Karen McLeod and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional management approaches cannot meet the challenges faced by ocean and coastal ecosystems today. Consequently, national and international bodies have called for a shift toward more comprehensive ecosystem-based marine management. Synthesizing a vast amount of current knowledge, Ecosystem-Based Management for the Oceans is a comprehensive guide to utilizing this promising new approach. At its core, ecosystem-based management (EBM) is about acknowledging connections. Instead of focusing on the impacts of single activities on the delivery of individual ecosystem services, EBM focuses on the array of services that we receive from marine systems, the interactive and cumulative effects of multiple human activities on these coupled ecological and social systems, and the importance of working towards common goals across sectors. Ecosystem-Based Management for the Oceans provides a conceptual framework for students and professionals who want to understand and utilize this powerful approach. And it employs case studies that draw on the experiences of EBM practitioners to demonstrate how EBM principles can be applied to real-world problems. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the factors that contribute to social and ecological resilience —the extent to which a system can maintain its structure, function, and identity in the face of disturbance. Utilizing the resilience framework, professionals can better predict how systems will respond to a variety of disturbances, as well as to a range of management alternatives. Ecosystem-Based Management for the Oceans presents the latest science of resilience, while it provides tools for the design and implementation of responsive EBM solutions.

Download or read book Implementing an Ecosystem Approach to Ocean Management written by Donna R. Christie and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two recent national ocean policy studies considering the fate of United States' oceans in the twenty-first century, conducted by the Pew Oceans Commission and the United States Commission on Ocean Policy (USCOP), were largely in agreement on some very fundamental issues. First, both commissions concluded that human activities have severely stressed ocean systems and that major changes in ocean management are needed to stop degradation of ocean resources and to restore and protect the oceans for future generations. Second, the commissions found that better management of the oceans required an ecosystem-based approach implemented through coordinated, regional mechanisms. But the jurisdictions of our federal and state governments are not organized to operate or take actions at regional levels. Any proposals to implement the goals of a regional, ecosystem-based approach to ocean management must therefore consider how regional mechanisms would be structured and how they would function in our federal system. This paper discusses the various regional governance structures and approaches to coordination and compliance that the reports, the executive level Ocean Action Plan, and the current legislative initiatives propose. It is clear from these responses that the widespread agreement that a regional approach is needed has not led to widespread consensus what kind of response is necessary to deal with the mismatch between governance structure and the need for eco-regional governance of the oceans.
