Book Application of the Precautionary Approach and Conservation Reference Point to the Management of Atlantic Seals

Download or read book Application of the Precautionary Approach and Conservation Reference Point to the Management of Atlantic Seals written by Mike O. Hammill and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precautionary approach (PA) brings scientists, resource managers and stakeholders together to identify clear management objectives and to establish specific benchmark or reference levels in order to enable the status of the resource to be evaluated and to identify specific management actions that would be triggered when a population level approaches or falls below the benchmark level. The PA also recognizes that the amount of information concerning the status of a resource may vary and that a lack of information is not sufficient to delay taking a management decision. This document presents a conceptual framework for applying the PA to Atlantic seal management. For data-rich species, two precautionary levels & a conservation reference level are proposed. For data-poor species such as hooded & grey seals, which require a more risk-adverse approach to their management, an approach using a level called the potential biological removal is described.

Book The Precautionary Principle in Marine Environmental Law

Download or read book The Precautionary Principle in Marine Environmental Law written by Bénédicte Sage-Fuller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines whether the jurisdiction of coastal States under international law can be extended to include powers of intervention towards vessels posing a significant risk to their coastal and marine environment, but which have not yet been involved in any incident or accident. The books sets out how it is that coastal State jurisdiction can indeed be seen as including powers of intervention towards High Risks Vessels before an incident or accident happens, on the basis of the precautionary principle. The precautionary principle requires taking action when a risk of damage to the environment is suspected, but cannot be confirmed scientifically.The book thus considers the potential opportunities for the coastal state under international law to regulate international shipping where they consider vessels to an unacceptable risk to the environment, in order to prevent or minimise the risk of occurrence of the accident or incident leading to damage. The book acknowledges that this puts into question some very old and established principles of the law of the sea, most importantly the principle of freedom of navigation. But Bénédicte Sage-Fuller contends that this change would itself be a consequence of the evolution, since the end of WWII, of on the one hand international law of the sea itself, and of international environmental law on the other hand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia and Canada have been at the forefront of efforts to operationalize integrated oceans and coastal management. Throughout the 1990s both countries devoted considerable effort to developing strategies to give effect to international ocean management obligations. This key book focuses on principles of marine environmental conservation and management, maritime regulation and enforcement, and regional maritime planning and implementation. With contributions from respected scholars, this informative book collectively assesses the obligations, compliance, implementation and trends in international ocean law, particularly in giving effect to an Oceans Policy, regional maritime planning, international oceans governance, and maritime security. This book will be of interest to all academics involved with maritime studies and international law.

Book Ecosystem Based Management for Marine Fisheries

Download or read book Ecosystem Based Management for Marine Fisheries written by Andrea Belgrano and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-03 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showing how big-picture patterns can help overcome the failures of conventional management, this book is ideal for students, researchers and professionals involved with marine fisheries. It explores not only the current practice of the 'ecosystem approach' to fisheries management but also its critical importance to even larger perspectives. The first section gives a valuable overview of how more and more of the complexity of real-world systems is being recognized and involved in the management of fisheries around the world. The second section then demonstrates how important aspects of real-world systems, involving population dynamics, evolution and behavior, remain to be taken into account completely. This section also shows how we must change the way we think about our involvement in, and the complexity of, marine ecosystems. The final chapters consider how, with the use of carefully chosen macroecological patterns, we can take important steps towards more holistic management of marine fisheries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1992, at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, the nations of the world agreed to implement an ambitious plan for ecologically sustainable human development. This book is a comprehensive review of U.S. efforts to achieve such development since Rio. The U.S. has unquestionably begun to take steps toward sustainable development. Yet the nation is now far from being a sustainable society, and in many respects is farther away than it was in 1992. Nevertheless, legal and policy tools are available to put the U.S. on a direct path to sustainability. This book brings together 42 distinguished experts from a variety of backgrounds and academic disciplines. It is among the most thorough assessments ever conducted of U.S. law and policy concerning the environment.
