Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touching on the wide array of people and events who have brought life to the history of the Placentia area, The Placentia Area - A Changing Mosaic offers a glimpse of the deep history that has transformed this part of Newfoundland and Labrador. The history is a collection of interconnected stories. Geological processes forged a landscape that would feature in later actions and activities. Geology created a wide expansive beach that Basque fish harvesters discovered was perfect for drying fish. This attribute, along with its deep harbour, then ensured that Placentia would go on to function in the struggles between the French and English. And from this period, the Placentia area has evolved, playing a role in the lives of well-known characters such as Pierre le Moyne d'Iberville or Roger F. Sweetman, as well as the less known, yet equally important, women and men who simply came to make a life for themselves. To the present day, the latter has remained a defining quality of the region.
Download or read book Cod written by George A. Rose and published by Breakwater Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The devastation of many of the greatest North Atlantic cod stocks, particularly those of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Grand Banks, has become an icon for the unsustainable relation between human exploitation and Nature. Here, George Rose tells the full story of that devastation, in scientific detail, for the first time - from the formation of the North Atlantic marine ecosystems to the massive stock declines in the last half of the 20th century. Politics and the fisheries are inextricably entwined. In Cod, Rose recounts the many political influences on the fisheries over several centuries and describes how neglect from the late 1800s onward led to insufficient scientific knowledge and little protection for the stocks when massive Euro-Russian fleets targeted the Grand Banks after World War II, destroying the most prolific fishery the world has known. Cod is no armchair account, but a controversial one that includes original information on the North Atlantic fisheries.

Download or read book Joint Management of Newfoundland and Labrador Fisheries written by Newfoundland and Labrador and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, the Newfoundland & Labrador government is calling for a new approach to fisheries decision-making: a joint management regime that would effectively integrate federal & provincial responsibilities, reduce federal-provincial conflict over fishery policy, provide a stable framework for resource management & industry investment, and remove the potential for arbitrary or inconsistent fishery management decisions. The paper begins with an overview of the province's fishing industry, conservation initiatives, and the current fishery management decision-making process. It then explains the advantages of the joint management proposal and specific aspects of that approach, including the establishment of a federal/provincial fisheries management board. Appendices include the text of the province's resolution seeking joint management of fisheries, a copy of an Act respecting joint management of provincial fisheries, and a glossary.

This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At an increasingly global scale, aquatic scientists are heavily entrenched in understanding the fate of marine ecosystems in the face of human-altered environments. Oil spill disasters, especially large-scale ones like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon tragedy, have left uncertain and indelible marks on marine ecosystems. Impacts of Oil Spill Disasters on Marine Habitats and Fisheries in North America contains independent scientific findings and critical reviews from experts researching the impacts of the Exxon Valdez, Ixtoc I, and Deepwater Horizon oil spills on coastal fishery resources. Comprised of three sections, this seminal work: Details the physiological effects of oil-derived compounds on fishes, presenting results from field and laboratory investigations Addresses the science of assessing the impacts of oil spills and oil response measures on coastal habitats, with an emphasis on salt-marsh ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico Explores the quantified and potential impacts of oil spills on population and community dynamics of commercial and recreational fishery species Provides newly released results from the 25-year recovery of marine mammals, birds, and fishes following the Exxon Valdez spill Chapters discuss new techniques for collecting and processing blood samples for toxicity testing, new aerial radar techniques for detecting unseen oil on marshes, consequences of oil prevention measures (such as diverting fresh water to estuaries or building sand berms to stop oil) on coastal fishery resources, and non-traditional methods for assessing the herring stock in Prince William Sound, Alaska, USA following the Exxon Valdez disaster.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topics include the Atlantic Accord, the creation of the C-NLOPB, the current status of petroleum activities in the Province and the need for deepwater drilling. [...] Immediately after the Gulf of Mexico incident, the Department of Natural Resources, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador required that an independent review be conducted of the legislative and regulatory regimes, capabilities and practices in place in the Province directed toward prevention and remediation of oil-spills in the Province's offshore. [...] Environmental Response Systems is responsible for the development and administration of policies, regulations, and programs that protect the marine environment, mitigate the impact on the environment of marine pollution incidents and to ensure the safety of the general public. [...] The study included the assessment of both of the key components of risk: the probability of an oil-spill occurring and the consequences of the spill should it occur. [...] The purposes of the Atlantic Accord are: a) to provide for the development of oil and gas resources offshore Newfoundland for the benefit of Canada as a whole and Newfoundland and Labrador in particular; b) to protect, preserve and advance the attainment of national self-sufficiency and security of supply; c) to recognize the right of Newfoundland and Labrador to be the principle beneficiary of th.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operation Clean Feather was developed as a multi-faceted project to reduce the incidence of chronic discharges of oil into Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, and thus seabird mortality due to oiling. This report summarizes the accomplishments of the operation, evaluates project elements, and makes recommendations for future operations. Beached bird surveys were conducted to monitor the occurrence of oiled birds and oil on 33 beaches beginning in early January and running through to the end of March in 1991 and 1992. Twenty-two beaches on the east side of the bay were surveyed weekly and 11 beaches on the Burin Peninsula were surveyed monthly, weather and travel conditions permitting.If an oil pollution event was detected, survey intensity increased in the affected area to assess the marine bird mortality. Reports of oil birds given by the general public were also recorded.
