This book was released on 2012 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shellfish growing industry in the Puget Sound region of Washington State greatly depends on the health of the marine waters, and is therefore considerably invested in coastal management issues and protection of state waters. The industry has overcome many challenges throughout its existence in Washington, and is currently facing many new and even unknown challenges to growth and sustainability. The purpose of this study is to define and evaluate different tools and strategies from around the world that may be integrated into Washington's proposed coastal and marine spatial planning (CMSP) management framework. There are four main goals of this study. The first is to identify the current major barriers that face the commercial shellfish industry in Puget Sound. Through literature review, workshop attendance, and discussions with stakeholders, the barriers identified include: Regulatory and permitting process, water quality, conflicting uses and public perceptions. The second goal is to investigate, through various international case studies, how marine policy frameworks from around the world may address these barriers. Evaluated tools include examples from case studies from the European Union, Ireland, France, Sweden, and Australia. The third goal is to explore how CMSP, which has recently been proposed as a marine management strategy for Washington State, and its objectives address these barriers to the Puget Sound shellfish industry and the important user conflicts that come into play. The final goal is to assess opportunities for improvement for how Washington's CMSP framework may integrate these new tools and practices from around the world. It is important to note that the framework used in this study can also be tailored to evaluate management strategies for many different ocean and coastal sectors and uses. Preliminary recommendations for CMSP in Washington include adapting community-based approaches for spatial management, focusing in on a shoreline, bay or watershed scope, increasing stakeholder involvement, improving communication and outreach strategies, and ensuring transparency and legitimacy through the entire implementation process.

Book excerpt: The Washington shellfish aquaculture regulatory framework is a complex instrument with numerous permits and high agency involvement. Shellfish business owners, industry officials and policy-makers look to simplify the overall process by reducing paperwork and permit redundancies. In the past, the Washington aquaculture sector held a close relationship with the Washington Department of Agriculture, and policy-makers are again assessing a closer future relationship, aiding in regulatory efficiency. The purpose of this study is to locate sources of inefficiency within the shellfish aquaculture regulatory framework and supply new ideas for future policy-making based on an aquaculture regulatory framework proposed by Takoukam and Erikstein (2013). There are four main objectives to this study. The first is to identify barriers within the regulatory framework from the federal scale to the county level restricting the Washington shellfish industry. Through scientific and governmental literature reviews, and information from conference attendance, these barriers are identified. The second objective is to showcase current programs addressing regulatory barriers in aquaculture. Current programs are the Shellfish Interagency Permitting Team, the Pacific Aquaculture Caucus, and the Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association. The third objective is to compare the regulatory framework for aquaculture based on the Washington agriculture framework. I used the Washington agriculture program as a template to assess how aquaculture can meet the regulatory goals set forth by Takoukam and Erikstein (2013). The Florida Aquaculture program, which is a combined Aquaculture-Agriculture regulatory department, is used to illustrate a closer relationship between the two divisions. The final objective is to assess the future of Washington aquaculture based on information provided through the first three objectives. Preliminary recommendations for the Washington regulatory framework are to shift regulatory work to county level officials, limit the number of government agencies involved, reduce review periods, and increase regulatory transparency on county and state levels.

Book excerpt: Nonnative Oysters in the Chesapeake Bay discusses the proposed plan to offset the dramatic decline in the bay's native oysters by introducing disease-resistant reproductive Suminoe oysters from Asia. It suggests this move should be delayed until more is known about the environmental risks, even though carefully regulated cultivation of sterile Asian oysters in contained areas could help the local industry and researchers. It is also noted that even though these oysters eat the excess algae caused by pollution, it could take decades before there are enough of them to improve water quality.

This book was released on 2010-03-18 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. mariculture production of bivalve molluscs-those cultivated in the marine environment-has roughly doubled over the last 25 years. Although mariculture operations may expand the production of seafood without additional exploitation of wild populations, they still depend upon and affect natural ecosystems and ecosystem services. Every additional animal has an incremental effect arising from food extraction and waste excretion. Increasing domestic seafood production in the United States in an environmentally and socially responsible way will likely require the use of policy tools, such as best management practices (BMPs) and performance standards. BMPs represent one approach to protecting against undesirable consequences of mariculture. An alternative approach to voluntary or mandatory BMPs is the establishment of performance standards for mariculture. Variability in environmental conditions makes it difficult to develop BMPs that are sufficiently flexible and adaptable to protect ecosystem integrity across a broad range of locations and conditions. An alternative that measures performance in sustaining key indicators of ecosystem state and function may be more effective. Because BMPs address mariculture methods rather than monitoring actual ecosystem responses, they do not guarantee that detrimental ecosystem impacts will be controlled or that unacceptable impact will be avoided. Ecosystem Concepts for Sustainable Bivalve Mariculture finds that while performance standards can be applied for some broad ecosystem indicators, BMPs may be more appropriate for addressing parameters that change from site to site, such as the species being cultured, different culture methods, and various environmental conditions. This book takes an in-depth look at the environmental, social, and economic issues to present recommendations for sustainable bivalve mariculture.
