This book was released on 2016 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) held a 2-day workshop in Utulei, American Samoa in May 2015, to gain insight from local scientists and managers on marine ecosystem and fisheries research needs within the American Samoa Archipelago. This information will be incorporated into a NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center American Samoa Marine Research Implementation Plan for 2017-2022. These plans aid PIFSC in identifying and prioritizing research activities. More than 60 people representing a broad spectrum of organizations in American Samoa, including resource managers, scientists, and local community members attended the workshop. Following a series of background presentations by scientists and others, workshop participants identified key topics for research that could be implemented in the next 5 years. They assembled a wide-ranging list of research priorities including threats to coral reefs from crown of thorns starfish (COTS) outbreaks, environmental contaminants, land-based nutrients, and coral bleaching; effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs); larvae seeding/spillover; occurrence, location, and seasonality of spawning aggregations; mapping of shallow near-shore marine environments using LiDAR and other technologies; and more This report is a synthesis of the workshop information and findings and details the discussions, results and prioritization process. This information will be incorporated into a Rose Atoll Marine National Monument (RAMNM) and American Samoa Archipelago Ecosystem and Fisheries Science Action Plan which will be used to guide marine ecosystem and fisheries research planning across the American Samoa Archipelago"--Introduction.

Book Synopsis Balancing the Tides by : JoAnna Poblete
Download or read book Balancing the Tides written by JoAnna Poblete and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balancing the Tides highlights the influence of marine practices and policies in the unincorporated territory of American Sāmoa on the local indigenous group, the American fishing industry, international seafood consumption, U.S. environmental programs, as well as global ecological and native concerns. Poblete explains how U.S. federal fishing programs in the post–World War II period encouraged labor based out of American Sāmoa to catch and can one-third of all tuna for United States consumption until 2009. Labeled "Made in the USA," this commodity was sometimes caught by non-U.S. regulated ships, produced under labor standards far below continental U.S. minimum wage and maximum work hours, and entered U.S. jurisdiction tax free. The second half of the book explores the tensions between indigenous and U.S. federal government environmental goals and ecology programs. Whether creating the largest National Marine Sanctuary under U.S. jurisdiction or collecting basic data on local fishing, initiatives that balanced western-based and native expectations for respectful community relationships and appropriate government programs fared better than those that did not acknowledge the positionality of all groups involved. Despite being under the direct authority of the United States, American Sāmoans have maintained a degree of local autonomy due to the Deeds of Cession signed with the U.S. Navy at the turn of the twentieth century that created shared indigenous and federal governance in the region. Balancing the Tides demonstrates how western-style economics, policy-making, and knowledge building imposed by the U.S. federal government have been infused into the daily lives of American Sāmoans. American colonial efforts to protect natural resources based on western approaches intersect with indigenous insistence on adhering to customary principles of respect, reciprocity, and native rights in complicated ways. Experiences and lessons learned from these case studies provide insight into other tensions between colonial governments and indigenous peoples engaging in environmental and marine-based policy-making across the Pacific and the globe. This study connects the U.S.-American Sāmoa colonial relationship to global overfishing, world consumption patterns, the for-profit fishing industry, international environmental movements and studies, as well as native experiences and indigenous rights. Open Access publication of this book was made possible by the Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, an initiative sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Book Synopsis Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management by : Jason Link
Download or read book Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management written by Jason Link and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Responsible fisheries management is of increasing interest to the scientific community, resource managers, policy makers, stakeholders and the general public. Focusing solely on managing one species of fish stock at a time has become less of a viable option in addressing the problem. Incorporating more holistic considerations into fisheries management by addressing the trade-offs among the range of issues involved, such as ecological principles, legal mandates and the interests of stakeholders, will hopefully challenge and shift the perception that doing ecosystem-based fisheries management is unfeasible. Demonstrating that EBFM is in fact feasible will have widespread impact, both in US and international waters. Using case studies, underlying philosophies and analytical approaches, this book brings together a range of interdisciplinary topics surrounding EBFM and considers these simultaneously, with an aim to provide tools for successful implementation and to further the debate on EBFM, ultimately hoping to foster enhanced living marine resource management.

Book Synopsis The Pacific Insular Case of American Sāmoa by : Line-Noue Memea Kruse
Download or read book The Pacific Insular Case of American Sāmoa written by Line-Noue Memea Kruse and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a researched study of land issues in American Sāmoa that analyzes the impact of U.S. colonialism and empire building in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Carefully tracing changes in land laws up to the present, this volume also draws on a careful examination of legal traditions, administrative decisions, court cases and rising tensions between indigenous customary land tenure practices in American Sāmoa and Western notions of individual private ownership. It also highlights how unusual the status of American Sāmoa is in its relationship with the U.S., namely as the only “unincorporated” and “unorganized” overseas territory, and aims to expand the U.S. empire-building scholarship to include and recognize American Sāmoa into the vernacular of Americanization projects.
Book Synopsis Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Desk Reference (FEMA 345) by : Federal Emergency Management Agency
Download or read book Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Desk Reference (FEMA 345) written by Federal Emergency Management Agency and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is a powerful resource in the combined effort by Federal, State, and local government, as well as private industry and homeowners, to end the cycle of repetitive disaster damage. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act was passed on November 23, 1988, amending Public Law 93-288, the Disaster Relief Act of 1974. The Stafford Act included Section 404, which established the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. In 1993, the Hazard Mitigation and Relocation Act amended Section 404 to increase the amount of HMGP funds available and the cost-share to 75 percent Federal. This amendment also encouraged the use of property acquisition and other non-structural flood mitigation measures. In an effort to streamline HMGP delivery, FEMA encourages States to develop their mitigation programs before disaster strikes. States are adopting a more active HMGP management role. Increased capabilities may include: Conducting comprehensive all-hazard mitigation planning prior to disaster events; Providing applicants technical assistance on sound mitigation techniques and hazard mitigation policy and procedures; Coordinating mitigation programs through interagency teams or councils. Conducting benefit-cost analyses; and Preparing National Environmental Policy Act reviews for FEMA approval. States that integrate the HMGP with their frequently updated State Administrative and Hazard Mitigation Plans will create cohesive and effective approaches to loss reduction. This type of coordinated approach minimizes the distinction between “predisaster” and “post-disaster” time periods, and instead produces an ongoing mitigation effort. Hazard mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and their effects. A key purpose of the HMGP is to ensure that the opportunity to take critical mitigation measures to protect life and property from future disasters is not lost during the recovery and reconstruction process following a disaster. Program grant funds available under Section 404 of the Stafford Act provide States with the incentive and capability to implement mitigation measures that previously may have been infeasible. The purpose of this Desk Reference is to: Provide comprehensive information about FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP); Increase awareness of the HMGP as an integral part of statewide hazard mitigation efforts; and Encourage deeper commitments and increased responsibilities on the part of all States and communities to reduce damage and losses from natural disasters. This Desk Reference is organized to simplify program information and assist the reader with practical guidance for successful participation in the program. Lists of program-related acronyms and definitions are included, along with appendices that amplify selected aspects of the HMGP. This Desk Reference is organized into 14 sections, each of which presents a major HMGP subject area. In each section, information is presented on the right side of the page. In several sections, job aids containing supplemental material are provided. The job aids for each section can be found at the end of the section. At the front of each section, there is a detailed table of contents to help you locate specific information.

Book Synopsis Samoan Perceptions of Work by : Robert W. Franco
Download or read book Samoan Perceptions of Work written by Robert W. Franco and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of Dr Franco's study is to show how Samoans perceive their work activities, and pattern meaningful work and non-work social transactions. Samoan work perceptions centre on two important social transactions: tautra, service to chiefs and families, and fa alavelave, mutual support during crucial life events. In his survey, Dr Franco demonstrates that Samoans are adapting to overseas labour markets (particularly Hawaiian) through culturally distinctive work perceptions and patterns. Tautra and fa alavelave, like the Korean kye, (the rotating credit association) are unique social transactions powerfully influencing work and adaptation. By examining Samoan perceptions and patterns of work it is (the author's) goal to identify unique alternative competencies'. . . rather than deficiencies in Samoan workers.
