Download or read book Fish Consumption and Environmental Justice written by National Environmental Justice Council and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Environmental Justice Advisory Council (NEJAC) is a federal advisory committee to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This Report, therefore, focuses on those environmental justice issues raised by compromised aquatic ecosystems that EPA is empowered to address. That is to say, it examines, in the main, efforts that might be undertaken by EPA, as opposed to other agencies (whether federal, state, or tribal), and it focuses on sources of contamination and depletion within the United States, as opposed to global sources. This focus is not meant to suggest that NEJAC believes that the efforts of these other agencies and the contributions of these other sources are not important aspects of understanding and addressing compromised aquatic ecosystems; rather, it reflects NEJAC's role as a federal advisory committee to EPA.

Book Synopsis Liberation Science: Putting Science to Work for Social and Environmental Justice by : Steven H. Emerman

This book was released on 2012-11-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberation Science is the practice of using the knowledge and methods of science to solve the social and environmental problems faced by the poor. Liberation Science can address these problems because it has been freed from the flawed scientific paradigms that are linked to the flawed social paradigms of nationalism and capitalism. Three themes of Liberation Science are: 1) The definition of an ecosystem becomes both more expansive and more holistic to include humans, cultural practices, and the built environment, together with the possibility that an ecosystem could mimic the behavior of a single organism. 2) The logic and methods of science are made available to ordinary people, empowering them to understand the ecologies of their own communities. 3) Science becomes open to complementary philosophical approaches that draw upon cultural and spiritual traditions of particular regions or communities.

Book Synopsis Variable Justice by : Catherine O'Neill

Book excerpt: This article begins with the observation that “[f]ish, especially salmon, are necessary for the survival of the Native peoples of the Pacific Northwest, both as individuals and as a people.” It considers conventional approaches to regulating contamination of the waters that support the fish on which these peoples depend, and finds that the narrow focus on human physical health fails fully to comprehend the multiple dimensions of the harm to these fishing peoples. Importantly, this focus fails to appreciate the cultural dimensions of the harm. The article examines health and environmental agencies' standard-setting practices and challenges their failure to account for Native Americans' unique fish consumption practices. In the process, this piece questions the hegemony of quantitative risk assessment in agencies' standard-setting efforts. It goes on to criticize the resulting standards and the justifications offered by agencies - and sanctioned by courts - for the “lower yet adequate” level of protection they afford Native American subpopulations relative to the general population. In so doing, it considers the role of science and judgment in environmental risk policy, explicating such technical concepts as “variability” and “uncertainty.” It clarifies that discussing degrees of "conservatism" makes sense only in connection with agencies' responses to uncertainty. In the case of responses to interindividual variability, it is not a matter of choosing among errors. Rather, it is a matter of deciding, with full knowledge, whom to protect. As such, these responses ought be discussed in terms of "protectiveness." Having laid this groundwork, the article argues for agencies' differential treatment of Native American subpopulations from both a normative and doctrinal standpoint. Relevant normative commitments include respect for cultural integrity, equality and just process. Relevant legal obligations include treaties, the federal trust responsibility, and civil rights legislation. Finally, the article concludes with recommendations that agencies and tribes might consider, in consultation, as they engage in the process of environmental standard-setting.
Book Synopsis The End of the Line by : Charles Clover
Download or read book The End of the Line written by Charles Clover and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ninety percent of the large fish in the world's oceans have disappeared in the past half century, causing the collapse of fisheries along with numerous fish species. In this hard-hitting, provocative expos�, Charles Clover reveals the dark underbelly and hidden costs of putting food on the table at home and in restaurants. From the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo to a seafood restaurant on the North Sea and a trawler off the coast of Spain, Clover pursues the sobering truth about the plight of fish. Along with the ecological impact wrought by industrial fishing, he reports on the implications for our diet, particularly our need for omega-3 fatty acids. This intelligent, readable, and balanced account serves as a timely warning to the general public as well as to scientists, regulators, legislators--and all fishing enthusiasts.

Book Synopsis Mercury, Risk, and Justice by : Catherine O'Neill
Download or read book Mercury, Risk, and Justice written by Catherine O'Neill and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 2003, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled its long-awaited proposal for regulating mercury emissions from coal-fired utilities, which it later dubbed the quot;Clean Air Mercury Rule.quot; Methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin, leading to irreversible neurological damage; humans are exposed primarily through consuming contaminated fish. The EPA rule relies on a creative interpretation of the Clean Air Act to enlist a cap-and-trade approach for mercury emissions from these sources. The rule sets forth a cap in two phases, ultimately targeting a 70% reduction in mercury emissions by 2018. EPA's rule, however, raises a host of environmental justice issues. First, emissions reductions are more modest and significantly delayed when compared to reductions expected under section 112 of the Clean Air Act. Second, the cap-and-trade approach raises the specter of quot;hot spotsquot; - local or regional instances of relatively high emissions and, ultimately, exposure - as a result of emissions trading. Third, the EPA's proposal relies heavily on risk avoidance in the form of fish consumption advisories, which ask people to reduce or eliminate fish from their diets in order to avoid exposure to methylmercury. Each of these three features of the rule disproportionately burdens fishing tribes and their members, as well as some communities of color and low-income communities that depend on fish. This article discusses these environmental justice issues, highlighting the particular case of the Ojibwe and other fishing peoples in the Great Lakes.
