This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific expert opinion was gathered to contribute to the identification of ecologically and biologically significant areas (EBSAs) on the Scotian Shelf. Participants were asked to identify areas of particularly high ecological significance based on the EBSA criteria (uniqueness, aggregation, fitness consequences, naturalness, resilience), delineate the approximate boundaries of each area on a map, and provide justification for selecting each area. In addition, interviews with scientific experts were conducted to help fill gaps related to EBSA identification that were identified.

(Scott) and published by Dartmouth, N.S. : Fisheries and Oceans Canada. This book was released on 2002 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management & use of the large offshore biogeographic area known as the Eastern Scotian Shelf Oceans Management Area involves a broad range of interests, including government, First Nations, ocean industry & resource users, environmental groups, coastal communities, and university researchers. To initiate multi-stakeholder dialogue on managing this area, Fisheries & Oceans Canada initiated the workshop summarized in this report. Workshop objectives were to promote sectoral & cross-sectoral dialogue & capacity building for integrated oceans management & planning and to discuss key elements of the Eastern Scotian Shelf Integrated Management Initiative, including its vision & objectives, a collaborative management & planning process, and the future integrated oceans management plan. The report includes summaries of workshop presentations, small group discussions, the final plenary discussion, and key comments from four discussion sessions; and a synthesis of responses from a survey of workshop participants.

Download or read book Building Industries at Sea Blue Growth and the New Maritime Economy written by Kate Johnson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world there is evidence of mounting interest in marine resources and new maritime industries to create jobs, economic growth and to help in the provision of energy and food security. Expanding populations, insecurity of traditional sources of supply and the effects of climate change add urgency to a perceived need to address and overcome the serious challenges of working in the maritime environment. Four promising areas of activity for ‘Blue Growth’ have been identified at European Union policy level including Aquaculture; Renewable Energy (offshore wind, wave and tide); Seabed Mining; and Blue Biotechnology. Work has started to raise the technological and investment readiness levels (TRLs and IRLs) of these prospective industries drawing on the experience of established maritime industries such as Offshore Oil and Gas; Shipping; Fisheries and Tourism. An accord has to be struck between policy makers and regulators on the one hand, anxious to direct research and business incentives in effective and efficient directions, and developers, investors and businesses on the other, anxious to reduce the risks of such potentially profitable but innovative investments.The EU H2020 MARIBE (Marine Investment for the Blue Economy) funded project was designed to identify the key technical and non-technical challenges facing maritime industries and to place them into the social and economic context of the coastal and ocean economy. MARIBE went on to examine with companies, real projects for the combination of marine industry sectors into multi-use platforms (MUPs). The purpose of this book is to publish the detailed analysis of each prospective and established maritime business sector. Sector experts working to a common template explain what these industries are, how they work, their prospects to create wealth and employment, and where they currently stand in terms of innovation, trends and their lifecycle. The book goes on to describe progress with the changing regulatory and planning regimes in the European Sea Basins including the Caribbean where there are significant European interests. The book includes:• Experienced chapter authors from a truly multidisciplinary team of sector specialisms• First extensive study to compare and contrast traditional Blue Economy with Blue Growth• Complementary to EU and National policies for multi-use of maritime space

Download or read book Rebuilding of Marine Fisheries Global review written by Serge Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rebuilding depleted stocks is a central part of the fisheries governance agenda. By analysing the available literature, Part 1 of "Rebuilding of marine fisheries" provides a global review of the emergence of the rebuilding paradigm, its key concepts, the trends in fishery resources, and the empirical evidence available on stocks depletion, collapse and rebuilding. It addresses the bio-ecological, economic, and human dimensions of rebuilding or restoration of stocks, multispecies assemblages and habitats/ecosystems and touches on the need for rebuilding at the whole sector level when depletion has become widespread and chronic. The human imensions of stocks and fisheries are given particular attention, looking at conflicting objectives, the bio-economy of rebuilding, its costs and benefits, and the distributional effects of the related reform among actors with their potential social consequences in the short and long terms. Governance is addressed in detail: legal and policy frameworks; rationale and objectives of a rebuilding regime; alternative rebuilding strategies; reference values and protocols; regulatory time-frames; risk management and harvest control rules; impacts of climatic oscillations; management tool-box; implementation guidance and performance evaluation. The document ends with a review of the determinants of success of a rebuilding programme."--Publisher's description for part 1.
