Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Ocean Service (NOS) National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Protected Resources Program (PRP) share Federal stewardship responsibilities for many of the same resources. While the PRP has responsibility for protected species throughout their entire range, the NMSP has similar responsibilities for those resources and habitats that occur within sanctuaries' boundaries. The two programs have taken a significant strategic step forward towards improved coordination of conservation and recovery of protected species. The goal of the planning workshop was to increase the collaboration between the two NOAA programs by identifying and formalizing joint activities that build upon existing capabilities and improve the implementation of conservation and recovery plans for protected resources within sanctuaries' waters. On December 6-8, 2004, staff from both programs met at the NMFS Southwest Regional Office in Long Beach, California to outline the steps necessary to move forward with collaborative projects between NOAA line offices. The goals of the workshop included mutual learning about each other's programs and staffs and identifying and formalizing joint activities that forward shared capabilities. In recent years, several internal and external reports looking at the science and management processes used by NOAA have reported an imbalance between the resources needed to meet legislative mandates and stakeholder expectations, and the resources available to NOAA. Although the workshop identified a need for some additional resources, its primary output was a set of projects that incorporate coordinated activities that improve management and decision making through increased efficiency and improved cooperative science and management. Progress towards the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) mission goals will be improved with the execution of collaborative, geographically-based conservation and recovery of protected resources in national marine sanctuaries. The two programs support the NOAA mission goal to protect, restore and manage the use of coastal and marine resources through Ecosystem Approaches to Management (EAM). An EAM is an approach that is: "geographically specified, adaptive, takes account of ecosystem knowledge and uncertainties, considers multiple external influences, and strives to balance diverse societal objectives. Implementation will need to be incremental and collaborative." These two programs have taken significant steps towards improved cooperative conservation and EAM by completing a comprehensive assessment of shared capabilities and existing partnerships, specifically looking for mutual regional priorities and targets for integration. Improving coordination and partnering between the two programs to achieve species recovery would enhance protected species populations and their ecosystems. Progress can be gained by the development of regulations and permitting activities that affect marine protected resources in sanctuaries; by facilitating a more coordinated program to assess, characterize and monitor protected resources in sanctuaries; improving the development and implementation of conservation and recovery strategies within sanctuaries' waters; improving the efficiency in animal stranding response, and by developing joint education and outreach programs."--Exec.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the ocean-and the resources within-seem limitless, there is clear evidence that human impacts such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution disrupt marine ecosystems and threaten the long-term productivity of the seas. Declining yields in many fisheries and decay of treasured marine habitats, such as coral reefs, has heightened interest in establishing a comprehensive system of marine protected areas (MPAs)-areas designated for special protection to enhance the management of marine resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to evaluate how MPAs can be employed in the United States and internationally as tools to support specific conservation needs of marine and coastal waters. Marine Protected Areas compares conventional management of marine resources with proposals to augment these management strategies with a system of protected areas. The volume argues that implementation of MPAs should be incremental and adaptive, through the design of areas not only to conserve resources, but also to help us learn how to manage marine species more effectively.

This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes cases relating to the management of national marine sanctuaries in which certain scientific information was required so managers could make decisions that effectively protected trust resources. The cases presented represent only a fraction of difficult issues that marine sanctuary managers deal with daily. They include, among others, problems related to wildlife disturbance, vessel routing, marine reserve placement, watershed management, oil spill response, and habitat restoration. Scientific approaches to address these problems vary significantly, and include literature surveys, data mining, field studies (monitoring, mapping, observations, and measurement), geospatial and biogeographic analysis, and modeling.

Book excerpt: Describes new system-wide approach to monitoring 14 U.S. National Marine Sanctuaries, to ensure prompt data flow to those responsible for managing and protecting resources in the ocean and coastal zone and those that study the sanctuaries' ecosystems. The System-Wide Monitoring (SWiM) provides: a design process for monitoring that can be applied at many spatial scales and to many types of resources; a reporting strategy to help evaluation of status and trends in protected resources and activities that affect them; and, a way to integrate information from partnering monitoring efforts.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal programs applicable to the oceans and coastal zone have evolved incrementally in response to perceived needs to expedite emerging mari time development while conserving valuable marine resources. As a re sult, the current federal marine effort is divided among a plethora of programs administered by a number of agencies within different Depart ments. The programs themselves are conducted under the authority of multiple statutes with varying reaches and objectives: as a result they often overlap and conflict. There is no assurance, moreover, that the coverage of federal programs is complete in scope or comprehensive in conception. No single institutional device can ensure that these pro grams will manage the marine resources of the United States consistent ly and comprehensively, so as to derive maximum public benefit. While the present maze of statutes, regulations, and executive directives may in theory provide opportunities for a wide-ranging consideration of all relevant factors prior to making specific decisions, there can be no guarantee that this objective is realized either systematically or rea sonably effectively. Recent political developments indicate that the structure of federal marine programs will continue to be subject to scrutiny for some time. President Reagan's emphases on economic deregulation and development of outer continental shelf (OCS) oil and gas resources may lead to stream lining the OCS leasing and permitting process and altering the execu tion of the federal multiple use policy for marine areas.

Download or read book Marine and Coastal Protected Areas written by Rodney V. Salm and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2000 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new edition of the classic textbook on marine protected area (MPA) management in the tropics, originally produced as an output of the Bali World Parks Congress in 1982. Approaches to planning and managing MPAs have evolved considerably. Major advances include innovative financing mechanisms, partnerships with the private sector and NGOs, and collaborative management between government and coastal communities. These advances have brought new approaches for MPA establishment and management that are more participatory, involving communities through interaction and collaboration rather than prescription. With new case studies and illustrations, the guide comes in a water-resistant cover for field use. It is intended for those who plan individual and/or national MPA systems and gives philosophical context for MPAs along with some basic principles and approaches.
