Book Description
L'accès des navires aux zones portuaires est assuré par le dragage de quantités importantes de sédiments. Les matériaux dragués ne peuvent être immergés que s'ils présentent toutes les garanties d'innocuité pour le milieu marin. Après un rappel sur la géochimie et la toxicité des différents contaminants qui sont adsorbés sur les sédiments, le présent ouvrage propose une approche globale de l'évaluation des risques environnementaux liés aux immersions. Les méthodes de caractérisation des risques à partir de l'analyse chimique (Géodrisk) et de tests de toxicité sélectionnés, de bioévaluation de la qualité des sédiments par la définition d'un Indice d'évaluation de l'endofaune côtière (I2EC) et de biomonitoring actif des zones d'immersion, sont décrites de manière détaillée. Cette démarche ascendante et itérative, appliquée au contexte réglementaire français, permet de satisfaire aux recommandations des conventions internationales et en particulier aux lignes directrices OSPAR.
Recent Advances in Freshwater Crustacean Biodiversity and Conservation
Author: Tadashi KawaiPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000336247
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
Recent Advances in Freshwater Crustacean Biodiversity and Conservation focuses on minor crustacean groups and regionally endemic groups, all from freshwaters. Chapters in this book cover crustaceans such as Maxillopods, Mysids, Cumaceans, Isopods, Amphipods, Branchiopods, Copepods, and Decapods. Each looks at global or regional fauna and discusses conservation issues for that group. The majority of the chapters are based on papers presented at symposia organized by the editors at two international scientific meetings held in Barcelona and Washington DC. The contributors are world-renowned experts on their groups, as well as on freshwater crustacean conservation and biodiversity at global levels. It has previously been difficult for conservation managers, NGOs, and university professors and students who may not have access to comprehensive journal subscriptions to find relevant information on diversity and conservation of freshwater crustaceans. This book meets that need, addressing crustacean groups not previously treated and providing additional information beyond any presented in existing books. As the editors write in their introduction: we cannot conserve and we cannot protect what we do not know exists. This is a reliable, cutting-edge reference for anybody involved in crustacean research: students, researchers, agencies, and NGOs, as well as science educators, conservationists, and government conservation policymakers. The book will also be useful for those working in aquaculture and fisheries, given that many of the taxa discussed are economically important.

Integrated Approach to Environmental Data Management Systems
Author: Nilgun B. HarmanciogammaluPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401156166
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 550
Book Description
An integrated approach to environmental data management is necessitated by the complexity of the environmental problems that need to be addresses, coupled with the interdisciplinary approach that needs to be adopted to solve them. Agenda 21 of the Rio Environmental Conference mandated international programmes and organizations to take steps to develop common data and information management plans, and steps have been taken in this direction. The key word that defines the framework of the present book is `integration'. The book establishes the basics of integrated approaches and covers environmental data management systems within that framework, covering all aspects of data management, from objectives and constraints, design of data collection networks, statistical and physical sampling, remote sensing and GIS, databases, reliability of data, data analysis, and the transformation of data into information.
