[...] The primary focus of the Workshop was to "Describe and discuss the current status and future directions of the Precautionary Approach (PA) to the assessment and management of fisheries resources in the Newfoundland Region", but discussions were wide ranging and laid the foundation for future discussions and collaborative work. [...] The key elements in the development of the Precautionary approach for practical application are: the determination of the roles of science and management, the implementation of a comprehensive suite of management measures to complement the PA framework, and a clear definition of objectives for the management of fishery resources. [...] The "Precautionary Approach" requires: •. avoidance of changes that are potentially irreversible; •. identify and take measures to avoid undesirable outcomes; •. initiate corrective measures without delay; •. give priority to conserving the productive capacity of the resource use where the likely impact of the resource is uncertain; and, •. appropriate placement of the burden of proof. [...] Application of the Precautionary Approach to salmon fishery management is an integrated process, which requires at least the following: •. that stocks be maintained above the conservation limits by the use of management targets; •. that conservation limits and management targets be set for each river and combined as appropriate for the management of different stock groupings; •. the prior identifi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aquaculture industry is fast expanding around the globe and causing major environmental and social disruptions. The volume is about getting a 'good governance' grip on this important industry. The book highlights the numerous law and policy issues that must be addressed in the search for effective regulation of aquaculture. Those issues include among others: the equitable and fair assignment of property rights; the design of effective dispute resolution mechanisms; clarification of what maritime laws apply to aquaculture; adoption of a proper taxation system for aquaculture; resolution of aboriginal offshore title and rights claims; recognition of international trade law restrictions such as labeling limitations and food safety requirements; and determination of whether genetically modified fish should be allowed and if so under what controls. This book will appeal to a broad range of audiences: undergraduate and postgraduate students, academic researchers, policy makers, NGOs, practicing lawyers and industry representatives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precautionary approach (PA) directs fishery managers and scientists to define unacceptable outcomes, take uncertainty into account, and implement a decision process. Furthermore, this approach identifies several objectives, including those with respect to overexploitation, overcapacity, social & economic dislocation, loss of biodiversity, and major ecosystem disruption. This report presents proceedings of a workshop on implementation of PA for domestic stocks. Topics covered include: the legal framework for PA; the development of the PA in Canada; basic approaches, including risk analysis, population projection models, and approaches used in specific fisheries; case studies from Canada and Australia; and limitations & pitfalls of the PA. Includes glossary.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1st section of this report proposes a draft framework that incorporates the Precautionary Approach into fisheries management. The framework is composed of 3 zones (healthy, cautious, and critical) separated by 2 reference points. The 2nd section reviews the nature of the advice needed to define the boundaries of the zones and what to measure in order to set reference points. The performance of various estimators is reviewed, and the most promising candidates for further work are identified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workshop represents the culmination of a three-year research project aiming at developing concepts & tools for the implementation of the precautionary approach (PA) for Canadian fisheries. The workshop report begins with a review of the project and presentations on the development of PA experiences in Canada & other areas. The report then presents case studies, identified as the mechanism for gaining insight into the PA, that focussed on exploring conceptual frameworks and on identifying the risks associated with different potential management strategies. This is followed by reports from breakout groups formed to facilitate small-group discussion on implementation of the PA. Finally, proposals for a generic framework for a PA are presented along with directions for future activities. Appendices include a checklist for implementation of a PA framework and a report on PA implementation for Canadian harvest fisheries.

This book was released on 2005-11-07 with total page 1053 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic is now experiencing some of the most rapid and severe climate change on earth. Over the next 100 years, climate change is expected to accelerate, contributing to major physical, ecological, social, and economic changes, many of which have already begun. Changes in arctic climate will also affect the rest of the world through increased global warming and rising sea levels. Arctic Climate Impact Assessment was prepared by an international team of over 300 scientists, experts, and knowledgeable members of indigenous communities. The report has been thoroughly researched, is fully referenced, and provides the first comprehensive evaluation of arctic climate change, changes in ultraviolet radiation and their impacts for the region and for the world. It is illustrated in full color throughout. The results provided the scientific foundations for the ACIA synthesis report - Impacts of a Warming Arctic - published by Cambridge University Press in 2004.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unless a point in the discussion sections is labeled clearly as a point of agreement by the group, it should not be taken as more than the expression of a position in the range of professional opinion on the topic being discussed. [...] The working group considers that the role of science is to develop the tools necessary to facilitate implementation of the PA and to evaluate candidate management procedures which may be developed in this context. [...] The absence of adequate scientific information shall not be used as a reason for postponing or failing to take conservation and management measure." Though many of the elements of PA are being explored in current resource evaluation and management practices within DFO, the added value of implementing a PA is the packaging of all of these elements together as a guiding framework. [...] Objectives of the workshop (Rice) T he stated objective of the Workshop is to move ahead quickly with the implementation of the precautionary approach for domestic stocks; to pursue the quantification of uncertainty and risk; to develop conceptual frameworks/approaches for testing harvest strategies; and to plan further work for the high priority project on the precautionary approach. [...] Legal framework for precautionary approach (Richards) The precautionary approach is now embodied in a variety of agreements, including (i) 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development; (ii) FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries; (iii) Agreement for the implementation of the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the conserva.
