Book Description
"The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to analyze the effects on the human environment that could result from implementation of two rules to implement certain decisions made by the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPFC) at its Fifth Regular Session, in Busan, Republic of Korea, in December 2008. One rule implements specific management measures for the U.S. purse seine fleet operating in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) (hereafter 'U.S. Purse Seine Rule'). The other rule implements a specific catch limit established by the WCPFC for bigeye tuna (Thunnus obsesus) for the U.S. longline fleets in the WCPO (hereafter 'U.S. Longline Rule'). NMFS issued the EA ('Environmental Assessment for the Implementation of the Decisions of the Fifth Regular Annual Session of the Commission for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean: Fishing Restrictions and Observer Requirements in Purse Seine Fisheries for 2009-2011 and Turtle Mitigation Requirements in Purse Seine Fisheries and Bigeye Tuna Catch Limits in Longline Fisheries in 2009, 2010, and 2011') in draft form in conjunction with the issuance of the proposed U.S. Purse Seine Rule on June 1, 2009, for public review and comment. Two comment letters were received, one of which included comments on the EA, including several comments pertaining to the U.S. Longline Rule. NMFS issued the proposed U.S. Longline Rule on July 8, 2009, for public review and comment, reissuing the EA in draft form. NMFS received six comment letters, two of which raised issues pertaining to the EA. On August 4, 2009, NMFS issued the final U.S. Purse Seine Rule as well as the EA (July 2009 version), finding of no significant impact for the U.S. Purse Seine Rule, and an Errata sheet, indicating several corrections to the draft EA. In the final rule, NMFS indicated that the specific comments pertaining to the U.S. Longline Rule would be addressed, as appropriate, in the context of the U.S. Longline Rule. This Supplemental EA has been prepared to address those comments received on the U.S. Longline Rule that can be answered by additional environmental analysis or information. The Supplemental EA has been prepared pursuant to the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA; 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.) and related authorities, such as the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ) Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Environmental Review Procedures for Implementing NEPA (NAO 216-6). This document supplements the EA and refers to specific sections of the EA, where appropriate; as a supplement it is meant to be read in conjunction with the original EA."--Page 9-10.

Global Perspectives on the Biology and Life History of the White Shark
Author: Michael L. Domeier
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439848408
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 571
Book Description
Inspired by the International White Shark Symposium in 2010, Global Perspectives on the Biology and Life History of the White Shark incorporates the most important contemporary research findings into a single peer-reviewed book. This beautifully illustrated reference represents a historic change in the context of White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) research. Once considered one of the most poorly understood and difficult sharks to study, this timely book recognizes a new sophisticated focus on the White Shark, raising its status from obscurity to enlightenment. The Global Perspectives on the Biology and Life History of the White Shark celebrates the White Shark as the most studied shark in the sea. Within the chapters one can find new insights into a vast range of topics, such as behavior, physiology, migration patterns, habitat preferences, daily activity patterns, molecular genetics, reproductive biology and new research methods. The book also delves into population monitoring and policy options for managers and researchers.

Guidelines for Applying Protected Area Management Categories
Author: Nigel Dudley
Publisher: IUCN
ISBN: 2831710863
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
IUCN's Protected Areas Management Categories, which classify protected areas according to their management objectives, are today accepted as the benchmark for defining, recording, and classifying protected areas. They are recognized by international bodies such as the United Nations as well as many national governments. As a result, they are increasingly being incorporated into government legislation. These guidelines provide as much clarity as possible regarding the meaning and application of the Categories. They describe the definition of the Categories and discuss application in particular biomes and management approaches.

The First Global Integrated Marine Assessment
Author: United Nations
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108298842
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 978
Book Description
The World Ocean Assessment - or, to give its full title, The First Global Integrated Marine Assessment - is the outcome of the first cycle of the United Nations' Regular Process for Global Reporting and Assessment of the State of the Marine Environment, including Socioeconomic Aspects. The Assessment provides vital, scientifically-grounded bases for the consideration of ocean issues, including climate change, by governments, intergovernmental agencies, non-governmental agencies and all other stakeholders and policymakers involved in ocean affairs. Together with future assessments and related initiatives, it will support the implementation of the recently adopted 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly its ocean-related goals. Moreover, it will also form an important reference text for marine science courses.
