This book was released on 2021 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report contains a summary of the data layers used for the offshore component of the MPA network analysis. The ecological data layers have been organized into coarse-filter (i.e., ecological classifications and functional groups for fishes, invertebrates, and seabirds) and fine-filter (i.e., areas of high species richness, biogenic habitats, and depleted species) conservation priorities. The ecological section of this report contains descriptions of how the different layers were created and the rationale for their inclusion in the MPA network analysis. Human use data (i.e., fisheries landings, oil and gas activity, and shipping activity) were also considered. The human use section of this report contains descriptions of all the socio-economic layers considered in the development of the draft MPA network design"--Abstract, page x.

Download or read book Defining and Mapping Functional Groups for Fishes and Invertebrates in the Scotian Shelf Bioregion written by Alida Bundy and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Government of Canada has committed to creating a national network of marine protected areas (MPAs) that will protect at least 10% of coastal and marine areas by 2020. The Scotian Shelf Bioregion is one of five bioregions in Canada currently developing an MPA network. An important design principle in the development of an MPA network is "ecological representation", i.e., including areas with relatively intact, naturally functioning examples of a broad variety of habitat types and species. One way to explore ecological representation is by using functional groups as a key representation component. Functional groups are considered to be a collection of species that perform a similar ecological function, regardless of taxonomy. DFO is taking into account various spatial and temporal patterns of species, including functional groups, in the design of the Scotian Shelf Bioregion MPA network. The purpose of this report is to categorize and map fish and invertebrate functional groups in the Scotian Shelf Bioregion for use in the design of this MPA network and other oceans planning and management applications. Here, fish and invertebrate species recorded during DFO's Maritime Region Summer Ecosystem survey were described and categorized into fifteen main groups based on size, habitat, and feeding guild. Spatiotemporal patterns of each of these groups are mapped and can be used to identify priority conservation areas for MPA network planning and design"--Abstract, p. iii.

Book Synopsis Marine Protected Area Network Planning in the Western Arctic Bioregion by : Robert Hodgson
Download or read book Marine Protected Area Network Planning in the Western Arctic Bioregion written by Robert Hodgson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to meet Canada's obligations to the United Nations (UN) Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), creation of a Marine Protected Areas Network (MPAN) following UN stipulated steps is required. This paper details the completion of step two from the UN CBD, which, in short, calls for marine areas to be biogeographically classified (hereafter referred to as eco-units) reflecting the types and diversity of ecosystems. In this paper, we created a systematic approach to biogeographic classification based on available data, prioritization of information inputs based on use and citations in the literature, as well as results from several previous classifications by others, all combined using GIS based mapping and analysis.

Book Synopsis Protecting the Coast and Ocean by : Stephanie M. Hewson
Download or read book Protecting the Coast and Ocean written by Stephanie M. Hewson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2023-06-01 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish were once so abundant in BC waters that Indigenous elders recall dried salmon being stacked like firewood. But declines on the coast have accelerated over the last century, with marine wildlife cut in half in just four decades. Protecting the Coast and Ocean explores how we can reverse this decline. This meticulous work analyzes and compares the range of Canadian and international legal tools available, providing in-depth case studies to illustrate how each instrument can work in practice. Despite climate change, overfishing, and pollution, this is a convincing demonstration to address species extinction and plan for a resilient ocean.
Book Synopsis Securitizing Marine Protected Areas by : Elizabeth M. De Santo
Download or read book Securitizing Marine Protected Areas written by Elizabeth M. De Santo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-10 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a novel examination of Marine Protected Areas within a security context, bridging science, policy, and geopolitics, and addressing the often-under-emphasized aspect of environmental justice. The book argues that Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are not only a critical tool for protecting marine biodiversity in a changing climate, but they also play an important role at the intersection of geopolitics and environmental justice, and they provide a case study of environmental governance at the science-policy interface. The book takes an interdisciplinary and critical approach and builds on the author's two decades of experience working in this field. Geopolitically, it explores the ways in which MPAs provide footprints for influence and access to resources far from home for nations with overseas territories. MPAs also raise important issues connected to equity, environmental justice, and social justice, including access to resources and participation in environmental decision-making processes, key aspects for achieving long-term conservation goals. The book also demonstrates how MPAs are a critical lens for understanding how policy makers cope with scientific uncertainty, and the necessity of well-designed and precautionary science advisory processes. While the ecological contribution of MPAs is paramount, social issues and geopolitical considerations are often less obvious in the discourse underpinning MPAs, and the resulting tensions can undermine long-term conservation objectives. By applying the three lenses of geopolitics, environmental justice and science, this book provides key insights to help the international community moving past the 2030 biodiversity targets and beyond, towards a future of meaningful, equitable, and effective conservation approaches. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of biodiversity conservation, marine studies, political geography, environmental governance, and science-policy studies. It will also be of interest to marine conservation governance professionals and policymakers.

Book Synopsis Marine Conservation Ecology by : John Roff
Download or read book Marine Conservation Ecology written by John Roff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major textbook provides a broad coverage of the ecological foundations of marine conservation, including the rationale, importance and practicalities of various approaches to marine conservation and management. The scope of the book encompasses an understanding of the elements of marine biodiversity - from global to local levels - threats to marine biodiversity, and the structure and function of marine environments as related to conservation issues. The authors describe the potential approaches, initiatives and various options for conservation, from the genetic to the species, community and ecosystem levels in marine environments. They explore methods for identifying the units of conservation, and the development of defensible frameworks for marine conservation. They describe planning of ecologically integrated conservation strategies, including decision-making on size, boundaries, numbers and connectivity of protected area networks. The book also addresses relationships between fisheries and biodiversity, novel methods for conservation planning in the coastal zone and the evaluation of conservation initiatives.
