Book Synopsis Review of Lord Howe Island Marine Park Zoning Plan by : Marine Parks Authority (N.S.W.)
Download or read book Review of Lord Howe Island Marine Park Zoning Plan written by Marine Parks Authority (N.S.W.) and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lord Howe Island Marine Park (State Waters) is located 600 kilometres off the NSW North Coast and is approximately 48,000 hectares in size. The park stretches North around the Admiralty Islands and South-East around Balls Pyramid and South East Rock, extending three nautical miles out to sea from the mean high watermark. The marine park, declared in 1999, complements the World Heritage status of the Island and its surrounding waters. The current zoning plan for Lord Howe Island Marine Park came into effect in December 2004 and the Government committed to a review after five years of operation ... The review will determine whether the current zoning plan for Lord Howe Island Marine Park remains appropriate for meeting the objects of the 'Marine Parks Act 1997'"--P. 2-4.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this document is to consolidate information on the physical and ecological values of Lord Howe Island Marine Park, particularly new information acquired since the zoning plan was introduced in 2004. This publication is one of several documents that will be considered by the public during the review of the zoning plan. It provides information on the natural values of the marine park, so the public can consider these and contribute to discussions about current zoning arrangements. It complements a summary of the social, cultural and economic values of the marine park that has also been developed for reference during the review of zoning"--P. 4.
Book Synopsis Marine Geomorphometry by : Vanessa Lucieer
Download or read book Marine Geomorphometry written by Vanessa Lucieer and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geomorphometry is the science of quantitative terrain characterization and analysis, and has traditionally focused on the investigation of terrestrial and planetary landscapes. However, applications of marine geomorphometry have now moved beyond the simple adoption of techniques developed for terrestrial studies, driven by the rise in the acquisition of high-resolution seafloor data and by the availability of user-friendly spatial analytical tools. Considering that the seafloor represents 71% of the surface of our planet, this is an important step towards understanding the Earth in its entirety. This volume is the first one dedicated to marine applications of geomorphometry. It showcases studies addressing the five steps of geomorphometry: sampling a surface (e.g., the seafloor), generating a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from samples, preprocessing the DTM for subsequent analyses (e.g., correcting for errors and artifacts), deriving terrain attributes and/or extracting terrain features from the DTM, and using and explaining those terrain attributes and features in a given context. Throughout these studies, authors address a range of challenges and issues associated with applying geomorphometric techniques to the complex marine environment, including issues related to spatial scale, data quality, and linking seafloor topography with physical, geological, biological, and ecological processes. As marine geomorphometry becomes increasingly recognized as a sub-discipline of geomorphometry, this volume brings together a collection of research articles that reflect the types of studies that are helping to chart the course for the future of marine geomorphometry.
Book Synopsis Seafloor Geomorphology as Benthic Habitat by : Peter T Harris
Download or read book Seafloor Geomorphology as Benthic Habitat written by Peter T Harris and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 936 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conservation of marine benthic biodiversity is a recognised goal of a number of national and international programs such as the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity (CBD). In order to attain this goal, information is needed about the distribution of life in the ocean so that spatial conservation measures such as marine protected areas (MPAs) can be designed to maximise protection within boundaries of acceptable dimensions. Ideally, a map would be produced that showed the distribution of benthic biodiversity to enable the efficient design of MPAs. The dilemma is that such maps do not exist for most areas and it is not possible at present to predict the spatial distribution of all marine life using the sparse biological information currently available. Knowledge of the geomorphology and biogeography of the seafloor has improved markedly over the past 10 years. Using multibeam sonar, the benthic ecology of submarine features such as fjords, sand banks, coral reefs, seamounts, canyons, mud volcanoes and spreading ridges has been revealed in unprecedented detail. This book provides a synthesis of seabed geomorphology and benthic habitats based on the most recent, up-to-date information. Introductory chapters explain the drivers that underpin the need for benthic habitat maps, including threats to ocean health, the habitat mapping approach based on principles of biogeography and benthic ecology and seabed (geomorphic) classification schemes. Case studies from around the world are then presented. They represent a range of seabed features where detailed bathymetric maps have been combined with seabed video and sampling to yield an integrated picture of the benthic communities that are associated with different types of benthic habitat. The final chapter examines critical knowledge gaps and future directions for benthic habitat mapping research. Reviews and compares the different methodologies currently being used Includes global case studies Provides geological expertise into what has traditionally been a biological discipline

Book Synopsis Big, Bold and Blue by : Geoff Wescott
Download or read book Big, Bold and Blue written by Geoff Wescott and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2016-07 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world’s oceans cover about 70% of our planet. To safeguard the delicate ecological and environmental functions of the oceans and their remarkable biodiversity, networks of marine protected areas are being created. In some of these areas, human activity is restricted to non-exploitative activities and in others it is managed in a sustainable way. Australia is at the forefront of marine conservation, with one of the largest systems of marine protected areas in the world. Big, Bold and Blue: Lessons from Australia’s Marine Protected Areas captures Australia’s experience, sharing important lessons from the Great Barrier Reef and many other extraordinary marine protected areas. It presents real-world examples, leading academic research, perspectives on government policy, and information from indigenous sea country management, non-governmental organisations, and commercial and recreational fishing sectors. The lessons learnt during the rapid expansion of Australia’s marine protected areas, both positive and negative, will aid and advise other nations in their own marine conservation efforts.

Book Synopsis Marine Protected Areas by : S. Gubbay
Download or read book Marine Protected Areas written by S. Gubbay and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marine protected areas (MPAs) have an important role in marine conserva tion programmes around the world. Although most have been established relatively recently when compared with protected areas on land, there is considerable expertise on their identification, setting up and management. Some techniques have been adapted from those used on land. Others are novel, and unique to marine conservation. The chapters in this book give an insight into this fast developing field where experiment and innovation work alongside techniques which have been tried and tested. The guiding princi ples behind key stages in the setting up and management of MP As are described, and case studies illustrate how they have worked. While it is most encouraging to read about the successes, the case studies also point to difficulties which have been encountered. Not all of the examples are new or recent but, together, they illustrate what is happening in this field.
