Book excerpt: With this claim of sovereign rights comes responsibilities, including the establishment of a governance structure based on the principles of integrated management, sustainable development, the precautionary approach, the collaborative approach and the ecosystem approach. [...] Trends and Indicators Overviews of the trends in the various components of the ecosystem, from physical oceanography, through the plankton and benthic community, to the invertebrate, finfish, bird and marine mammal resources illustrate some of the dramatic changes experienced by the ecosystem in the ESSIM area over the last two decades. [...] In relation to the diversity of the benthos, the spatial distribution of ecosystem types on the eastern Scotian Shelf could be defined, as well as the amount of total area of each type which is being used or impacted by human activities. [...] Trends and indicators for the oceanography, the benthos and biodiversity were covered on day two, while day three was devoted to presentations and discussion on the trends and indicators of the fisheries and the 13 Ecosystem Considerations Maritimes Region for the Eastern Scotian Shelf ecosystem. [...] The ESSIM initiative is the implementation of one of the recommendations from the 1998 Sable / Gully Conservation Strategy that integrated management approaches be applied to the larger ocean area surrounding the Gully AOI.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to provide assessments of multidecadal changes in resources and environments of the Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) of the North Atlantic. Using the case study method, researchers examine the forces driving the changes and actions underway aimed at turning the corner from declining trends in biomass yields, toward recovery of depleted species populations and improvements in ecosystem integrity. Recently a distinguished group of 24 scientists argued eloquently that a new Sustainability Science was emerging that was focused on "meeting fundamental human needs while preserving the life support systems of planet Earth". The contributions contained in this volume are at the cutting edge of Sustainability Science and the results presented by the contributors are pertinent to one of the core questions: "How are long-term trends in environment and development, including consumption and population, reshaping nature-society interactions in ways relevant to sustainability?" (Science Vol. 292, 27 April 2001). The case studies demonstrate the utility of an ecosystem-based approach to the assessment and management of biomass yields and species sustainability. Movements toward ecosystem-based management have emerged from the case studies on the initiation of recoveries of several depleted groundfish stocks of the US Northeast Shelf LME; the collapse of the Newfoundland-Labrador Shelf cod; the assessment of physical and biological changes on the Scotian Shelf, West Greenland Shelf, Iceland Shelf LME, and the Faroe Plateau, the North Sea, and the Barents Sea LMEs. Uncertainties, with regard to environmental and human-generated forcing, are addressed in assessment of the states of the Iberian Coastal and Biscay-Celtic LMEs, and in broad-scale studies of the influences at the base of the food chain of climatic variability on the productivity and biodiversity of plankton communities of the North Atlantic. The volume concludes with an insightful perspective on the approaches used and the results reported by the eminent marine scientist and former President of ICES, Professor Gotthilf Hempel.

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.

Book excerpt: In 1996, Canada passed the Oceans Act, which is built on the principles of sustainable development, integrated and ecosystem-based approaches to management, and collaboration across government and stakeholders. The Eastern Scotian Shelf Integrated Ocean Management (ESSIM) Plan is a strategic-level plan to provide long-term direction and commitment for integrated, ecosystem-based and adaptive management of marine activities. The plan contains a comprehensive set of goals, objectives and strategies for collaborative governance and integrated management, sustainable human use, and healthy ecosystems. The plan supports a sustainable and practical balance of human use, while conserving the health and integrity of the marine environment. This is the summary of the plan.--Document.
