Top-down vs Community-Based Management Approach: Finding The Most Suitable Implementation for Marine Protected Area in Indonesia INTRODUCTION Marine protected area is an essential instruments in marine biodiversity conservation. It has been applied by various institution and nation throughout the world to encounter several issue from fish stock collapse to habitat degradation (IEEP and NRDC, 2008). Marine protected area can act as a residence for certain species, habitat, and ecosystem as well as
they live, they swim freely and they eat – they do not particularly target humans but rather prey on food that is available to them in their habitat. There are many different options available to us rather than the vicious act of shark killing. Fishery Scientist are constantly working on ways to protect shark species and reduce shark bite incidences. Others have proposed that sonar waves are placed on nets to try and keep sharks away. Researchers are also collecting data from the sharks that are
Steinbeck's View of the World John Steinbeck's novels expressed an ecological world view that has only recently begun to accumulate proponents. This holistic view grew during an era when such thinking was unpopular, and one must wonder how this growth could have occurred in a climate which was hostile for it. Some investigation shows that the seeds for this view already existed in his childhood and were nurtured through his exposure to ideas in marine biology. While growing
activities. Their goal is to protect species as well as their habitats which include a combination of conservation and fishery benefits (Withgott, Laposata & Lubchenco, 2008). Therefore, an attention on fishery management is crucial in combination with pollution control solutions, which may become available toward solving the loss of oceanic productivity. Furthermore, traditional fishery management and marine reserves does not counteract productivity to restore the oceanic ecosystem. However, in contrast

Context Fisheries management draws on fisheries science in order to find ways to protect fisheries resources so that sustainable exploitation is possible,” (FAO, 2005). Fisheries management also involves legal governance of the ocean activities at an international or national level (Jentoft, Bavinck, Johnson, & Thomson, 2009). The Government of Canada created processes, tools, and systems to implement and monitor activities in the sea. For example, In 1867, the Federal Department of Fisheries and
lot of commercial fisheries use and have used for hundreds of years (Agardy). This method of fishing is when done properly uses a large net ( composed of mostly metal materials ) and dragging that net across the bottom of the sea floor to catch fish. Tundi agardy writes in an article mentioning that in 1376 a british parliament had petitioned by fishery concerns by damaging the sea bottom with trawling boats (Agardy 1). Agardy states that as early as the 14th century fishery concerns of destroying
fourth grade. After graduating from Parnassus High School, I enrolled into the Pennsylvania College for Women. I majored in English and continued to write but I also had to take two semesters of science, which changed my life. In my junior year I changed my major to zoology, even though science was not considered an appropriate avenue for women. After graduating college in 1928 I had earned a full one year scholarship to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. This scholarship did not relieve
seafood around the world, combined with poor management of fisheries and the development of new, more effective fishing techniques. If left unchecked, it will destroy the marine ecosystem and jeopardise the food security of more than a billion people for whom fish are a primary source of protein. Below are a few definitions in use by organisations and governments. 1. The practice of commercial and non-commercial fishing which depletes a fishery by catching so many adult fish that not enough remain to
of this problem is fishermen. Fishermen may possibly lose their jobs due to the fact that there will not be an adequate amount of fish in our waters to catch. And yet another stakeholder that is very largely impacted by the act of overfishing is fisheries. The problem of overfishing can be solved by limiting the amount of fish that can be caught. People who fish these endangered fish will have their jobs saved. This will also produce more fish for the individuals who have fish as their main source
CI-Philippines at the Sustainable Seafood Week: Responsible seafood sourcing to support communities and restore fisheries If you think about it, sustainable seafood is a choice, a means to an end, and the end product itself. By now we all know that the bounties of the seas are not infinite. Since the middle of twentieth century, fisheries stocks have rapidly declined due to overfishing and irresponsible fishing practices, which are driven by an ever increasing demand for food, as well as poverty
Finally, we will compare the policy options of individual transferable quota and fisheries closures. People have engaged in fisheries for thousands of years. Capital and labour have grown, which caused the productivity to increase. Simultaneously with an increase in oceanic navigation gave this the opportunity to an incrementing production. Until the late 1970s fish stock could be considered common property, fisheries where managed as open access resources, each potential user has complete autonomy
are eaten world-wide each year, providing two and a half billion people with at least 20 percent of their average per capita animal protein intake. Fisheries are currently said to be providing over 16% of the world’s protein. Fish and fishing is a lot more important in the developing countries because it is a cheap source of protein. Sustainable fishery ensures that there will be enough population of ocean and freshwater wildlife for the future. But in today’s world, fish are being fished more than
Singhalese (74%) while the rest of (26%) were include Sri Lankan Tamils, Muslims, Burghers and others. The Sri Lanka is a developing country after gaining independence from British and also island was totally covered from waters of Indian Ocean. The fishery sector has broadly contributing to the of Sri Lanka economy. The coastal area is consisting 1500 km2 and the exclusive economic zone is 517,000 Km2. Sri Lanka has huge sea area for the fishing industry, addition that the fresh water fishing has been
I chose to discuss overfishing as my topic. The definition of overfishing is: form of overexploitation where fish stocks are reduced to below acceptable levels. Overfishing can be broken down to three main categories: overcapacity of vessels in the water, unsustainable fishing and food needs. Overfishing can occur in bodies of water of any shape and size. Overcapacity of vessels in the water is one main reason for overfishing. It is said that there are enough vessels in the water to fish 4 planet
one-third of the world’s fisheries are severely depleted, and there have been several high-profile examples of complete collapse” (bbc.co.uk). While this is clearly relevant to Mediterranean countries, little to no action has been taken. In fact, “Mediterranean countries rejected a push to list the blue-fin tuna as an endangered species” (forcechange.com). A multitude of studies have revealed that if overfishing continues to occur at its current rate, the world’s fisheries may be entirely exhausted
oysters and underwater grasses (Key Commission Issues 1). There are other types of pollution in the bay such as toxic chemicals, but because nutrient pollution is the most significant and most widespread in the Bay its effects are the most harmful to fisheries. Nitrogen and phosphorous fuel algal blooms which cloud the water and block sunlight from reaching underwater grass beds that provide food and habitat for waterfowl, juvenile fish, blue crabs, and other species (Blankenship 11-12). Algae plays a
PART 2 The Fishing Management Act 2010 (QLD) is defined as an act to provide ‘the use, conservation and enhancement of the community’s fisheries, resources and fish habitats and promote ecologically sustainable development ‘(Fishing Management Act ,2010). Under this act concerns have been raised for maintaining sustainable fishing practices due to the arising situations of abuse towards the water ways and the increasing number of fish being taken by individuals for their enjoyment. Therefore, a
Marine fisheries provide a vital contribution to food supplies, employment, and natural resources. With the new techniques of locating the fish, and the larger amount of the commercial fishing, ninety percent of the world’s fish and seafood have been depleted in the past century. If we cannot know how much fish remains in the ocean and reduced our amount of catching, one day all the fish would be gone. And at that time, human would be hard to live on due to the lack of the ocean resources. Therefore
