Book Marine Environmental Quality Workshop Report

Download or read book Marine Environmental Quality Workshop Report written by D. Cobb and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On October 28-29, 2003, a workshop was held in Inuvik to discuss the concepts of the ecosystem approach to Oceans Management, and begin the process of developing Marine Environmental Quality objectives for the proposed Marine Protected Area in the Beaufort Sea. The workshop brought together knowledgeable participants from the communities of Tuktoyaktuk, Aklavik and Inuvik, co-management bodies, regulators, scientists, the petroleum industry and environmental planning specialists (See Appendix 1). This mix of participants was important to ensure all aspects (traditional, scientific and local knowledge) of the marine environment were integrated into the discussion. This report provides a summary of the consultation workshop to begin the development of MEQ objectives for the proposed MPA. A short background paper is provided to place the proposed MPA in the context of the Beaufort Sea ecosystem; this paper will be expanded and published in an upcoming FJMC report. Four break-out groups discussed concerns and issues with: beluga and marine mammals, physical/chemical, fish and fish habitat and birds and other animals, then discussed possible indicators that could be monitored, and finally suggested objectives that would be further developed as MEQ objectives in subsequent meetings involving technical experts.

Book Managing Wastewater in Coastal Urban Areas

Download or read book Managing Wastewater in Coastal Urban Areas written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Close to one-half of all Americans live in coastal counties. The resulting flood of wastewater, stormwater, and pollutants discharged into coastal waters is a major concern. This book offers a well-delineated approach to integrated coastal management beginning with wastewater and stormwater control. The committee presents an overview of current management practices and problems. The core of the volume is a detailed model for integrated coastal management, offering basic principles and methods, a direction for moving from general concerns to day-to-day activities, specific steps from goal setting through monitoring performance, and a base of scientific and technical information. Success stories from the Chesapeake and Santa Monica bays are included. The volume discusses potential barriers to integrated coastal management and how they may be overcome and suggests steps for introducing this concept into current programs and legislation. This practical volume will be important to anyone concerned about management of coastal waters: policymakers, resource and municipal managers, environmental professionals, concerned community groups, and researchers, as well as faculty and students in environmental studies.

Book Global Change and Integrated Coastal Management

Download or read book Global Change and Integrated Coastal Management written by Nick Harvey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-31 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the world’s population lives close to the coast and is highly dependent on coastal resources, which are being exploited at unsustainable rates. These resources are being subject to further pressures associated with population increase and the globalization of coastal resource demand. This is particularly so for the Asia-Pacific region which contains almost two thirds of the world’s population and most of the world’s coastal megacities. The region has globally important atmospheric and oceanic phenomena, which affect world climate such as the Asian Monsoon and the El-Niño Southern Oscillation phenomena. The Asia-Pacific region also has highly significant marine diversity but over the last few decades, coastal resources such as mangroves, coral reefs and fisheries have experienced large-scale depletion. The need to find appropriate management solutions to these and other coastal issues is made more complex by the need to take account of international scientific predictions for global climate change and sea-level rise which will further impact on these coasts. The idea for this book arose from a meeting of coastal scientists in Kobe, Japan in May 2003. The meeting was organized by the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN), an inter-governmental network, comprising 21 member countries, for the promotion of global change research and links between science and policy making in the region.
