Download or read book Technical measures and environmental risk assessments for deep-sea sponge conservation written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SponGES is a research and innovation project funded under the H2020 Blue Growth initiative. It aims at “Improving the preservation and sustainable exploitation of Atlantic marine ecosystems” and at developing an integrated ecosystem-based approach to preserve and sustainably use deep-sea sponge ecosystems of the North Atlantic. Reducing the impacts of deep-sea bottom fishing in the high seas on these ecosystems is an important element of an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management. States and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) have implemented a variety of measures to avoid and mitigate impacts of deep-sea bottom fishing on sponges, and have established methods for ecological risk assessment. Specific information to inform these risk assessments is often lacking but SponGES spurred unprecedented research on deep sea sponges in the North Atlantic, resulting in improved knowledge and understanding of sponge distribution, ecological function, impacts of human activities and climate change, role in the deep sea ecosystem, and their potential economic contributions through biotechnological components. This publication serves as a comprehensive review of existing governance mechanisms to protect sponge ecosystem function in the deep sea. It also presents appropriate elements to be included in an ecological risk assessment of anthropogenic stressors, and contributes to producing a strategy to incorporate sponge ground functions into management frameworks.

Download or read book The Development of Sea Sponges (Hymeniacidon Perlevis and Amorphinopsis Sp) as Novel Models for Genotoxicity Assessment and Environmental Monitoring of Pollutants in the Aquatic Environment written by Rachael Ununuma Akpiri and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measurement of chemical levels of pollutants and their Biomarkers in resident sessile biota has been suggested for reliable aquatic monitoring and environmental risk assessment. This thesis proposes the use of the comet assay in sponges as a suitable model to complement analytical methods and other established invertebrate aquatic sentinels in aquatic pollution monitoring and risk assessment. A novel 'in vivo' exposure sponge cell model was optimised for assessment of DNA strand breaks (DSB) using the alkaline comet assay and Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation using 2',7'-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCF-DA) assay. Concentration dependent increase in DSB and ROS formation were observed in sponge cells exposed to aluminium, cadmium, chromium, and nickel in lab based toxicity testing. Correlation between DSB and ROS formation decreased in the order Al

Book Synopsis Environmental Security and Environmental Management: The Role of Risk Assessment by : Benoit Morel
Download or read book Environmental Security and Environmental Management: The Role of Risk Assessment written by Benoit Morel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-22 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of “environmental security” has emerged as one basis for understanding international conflicts. This phrase can mean a variety of things. It can signify security issues stemming from environmental concerns or conflicting needs, or it can mean that the environment is treated as a resource for the long term, and the question is what should be done today to preserve the quality of the environment in the future. In the same way that energy security is about ensuring access to energy for the long run, it can also mean that pressing environmental concerns create a situation where different countries and communities are forced to collaboratively design a unified response, even if cooperation is not generally in the logic of their relations. Over the last several years, the authors of this book and their colleagues have tried to demonstrate the power of risk assessment and decision analysis as valuable tools that decision makers should use for a broad range of environmental problems, including environmental security. Risk analysis is almost more a state of mind or a way of looking at problems than it is a kind of algorithm or a set of recipes. It projects a kind of rationality on problems and forces a certain degree of quantitative rigor, as opposed to the all too common tendency of making environmental recommendations based on anecdotal evidence.
