Overfishing is the biggest threat to marine ecosystems today. Our appetite for fish has exceeded the oceans' ecological limits, causing devastating impacts. Scientists warn that overfishing results in profound changes to our oceans that may be permanent. It has also led to the collapse of many fisheries and the loss of millions of jobs. While fish farming has grown, it also causes environmental damage and risks spreading disease. Rapid population growth and increased agricultural and industrial activity are major sources of ocean pollution like nutrient runoff, which can create dead zones devoid of oxygen.
Sdg 15 presentation
SDG 15 focuses on protecting and restoring terrestrial ecosystems. It addresses issues like desertification caused by overgrazing, habitat loss driving animal extinction with 150 species lost every day, and deforestation intensifying climate change. Achieving the goal requires indicators like forest area proportion, degraded land proportion, and endangered wildlife trade. Actions to support the goal include breeding programs, tree planting projects, laws protecting nature, and reducing consumption of endangered species and non-seasonal imported goods. Progress is measured using indicators like forest area and threatened species.

How Sustainable Tourism Protects Marine Life in the UAE
The United Arab Emirates has a very important relationship with the Arabian Gulf, but our actions often create significant hazards to the plentiful marine life and habitats of this country. What can you do to safeguard the UAE’s marine environment?
www.emiratesnaturewwf.ae
Total Quality Environment
The document discusses environmental management and protection. It defines environmental quality and explains why protecting the environment is important. Some key ways to protect the environment mentioned are conserving energy and water, using natural daylight, walking or hiking instead of driving, eating locally grown foods, and running dishwashers and washing machines with full loads. The social environment refers to the culture and people one interacts with. Good water quality is important for human, animal and plant health. Environmental protection aims to benefit both the environment and humans. In conclusion, a clean environment is important for health, and it is every country and citizen's duty to ensure a better environment.
Recycled Island
The document proposes creating a habitable island made entirely from recycled plastic waste located in the North Pacific Gyre. The island would be self-sufficient using renewable energy sources like wave, wind, and solar power. It would serve two objectives: removing plastic from the oceans to reduce pollution, and providing a sustainable human settlement.
Help marine animals' life
Human activities such as oil spills, fertilizer runoff, trash pollution, and overfishing are harming marine animals and disrupting ocean ecosystems. Oil causes hypothermia, poisoning, and internal damage in marine life. Fertilizers and sewage cause eutrophication. Trash and plastic choke and block marine species. Toxic chemicals cause health problems. Overfishing disrupts food chains and can lead to extinction. However, small individual actions like eating sustainable seafood, reducing plastic use, participating in cleanups, and being energy efficient can collectively make a big difference in helping marine life if everyone contributes a little of their time and effort.
LIFE BELOW WATER
The document discusses Goal 14 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which is to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources. It notes that oceans are crucial to sustaining life on Earth and are under threat from human activities like pollution, overfishing, and loss of coastal habitats. The goal outlines targets such as reducing marine pollution and ocean acidification, regulating overfishing, and conserving coastal and marine areas, to help protect oceans and manage their resources sustainably by 2030.
Energy flow and conservation of resources
Forests are essential for maintaining ecological balance by preventing soil erosion, landslides and air pollution, and attracting rainfall. They also help control noise pollution and keep seasonal cycles favorable. To conserve forests, cutting down trees must be banned and deforestation not allowed. Several international organizations like IUCN, WWF, UNEP, and WCS have taken steps to protect forests from depletion. Oceans cover 70% of the earth's crust and provide resources like algae, animals, plants and minerals for humans. Conservation of oceans requires limiting greenhouse gas emissions to prevent global warming.
The use of natural resources
The document discusses three types of marine natural resources: physical, energy, and biological resources. Physical resources include sand and gravel extraction from coastal shelves. Energy resources involve harnessing energy from ocean thermal gradients, waves, tides, and currents. Biological resources comprise fishing, harvesting of animals like clams and crabs, and aquaculture. Responsible use of these marine resources can sustain oceans for future generations.
Sustainable seafood
Since 2001, Jet-Fresh has supplied America’s finest restaurants with the freshest perishables that evolve with today’s fine dining menus. We partner with fishermen, farmers, foragers and food artisans who are driven by a shared passion for quality and freshness that has become the hallmark of the Jet-Fresh name.
Farming and soil
This was created to meet the curriculum outcomes in New Brunswick's Grade 7 Science Earth's Crust Unit.
Kiosk Effectiveness Regarding Public Awareness of Flora and Fauna on BHI
The document summarizes a research project studying the effectiveness of educational kiosks on Bald Head Island regarding public awareness of local flora and fauna. 133 surveys were conducted at 4 kiosk locations to determine how often the kiosks were used, gain public opinion on the kiosks, and discover ways to improve future designs. The surveys found that the Beach Access 42 kiosk was used least and that the public wanted more information on beach/dune habitats and sea turtles added to future kiosk designs.
Natural reaources power pnt presentation
This document summarizes different types of natural resources including renewable and non-renewable resources. It discusses key renewable resources such as forests, wildlife, wind, and hydro energies. Non-renewable resources mentioned include fossil fuels like coal and petroleum. Specific natural resources covered in more depth include forests, water, minerals, land, and food. Forests are declining worldwide, especially in tropical Asia. Water is essential to life. Minerals have definite chemical compositions. Land has historically provided sustenance, fuel, clothing and shelter. Food comes from agriculture and livestock and provides essential nutrients.
Tree plantion
1) FFC is committed to environmental protection and compliance with laws and regulations through their environmental policy. They follow an active pollution prevention program with continual improvement efforts.
2) Planting trees has benefits like providing food, oxygen, shelter, medicine, tools and combating climate change. Trees also provide habitat for wildlife and fight soil erosion.
3) Deforestation is clearing forests on a massive scale and the world's rainforests could disappear in 100 years at the current rate. It is caused by increases in population where forests are cut for burning, farming, and grazing. This causes environmental problems like pollution, ozone depletion, and global warming.
Impacts Of Climate Change Ledc
The Maldives is an archipelago of low-lying coral islands in the Indian Ocean that is highly vulnerable to sea level rise from climate change. Most of the islands are less than 1 meter above sea level, and oceanographers predict that most will be washed away within 30 years as sea levels continue to rise. This existential threat has prompted the Maldives government to purchase land in other countries to potentially relocate its population of 300,000 people as climate change makes the islands uninhabitable. Tourism is a key industry for the Maldives that is also threatened by sea level rise, as higher seas destroy the coral reefs that form the islands and attract visitors.
Shark massacre
The document summarizes key points from the documentary Seaspiracy about the negative impacts of commercial fishing on marine ecosystems and life. It argues that commercial fisheries are driving marine destruction through overfishing, bycatch that kills millions of sharks, turtles and other species each year, and pollution from abandoned fishing gear. It notes that fishing subsidies could instead end world hunger, and that without top predators like sharks, ocean ecosystems cannot be sustained. The document criticizes certifications like MSC as greenwashing and says current fishing practices will empty the oceans by 2048 if unchanged.
LMMA story_June2016_Final
Local management of marine areas is an increasingly popular way to promote sustainable fishing in Madagascar. The USAID team visited Rantohely village which had adopted the LMMA approach of giving local fishermen control over nearby waters. Fishermen reported benefits from establishing protected areas where fish could reproduce. However, large commercial boats sometimes ignore the rules. Corruption and lack of enforcement also undermine LMMAs. But with strengthened management and boundaries, LMMAs could help ensure healthy fish populations and livelihoods despite challenges from development and climate change. Over 120 communities now participate in Madagascar's national LMMA network as a promising approach to conservation.

The document discusses several methods for protecting marine biodiversity, why it is difficult, and case studies of protection efforts. In 3 sentences:
Laws, economic incentives, and marine reserves help sustain marine biodiversity, but overfishing, unregulated development, and viewing oceans as endless resources threaten species. Several international agreements and US acts have provided legal protections for endangered marine species. Case studies demonstrate how community management, protected areas, and restoration efforts can help conserve species like sea turtles and restore damaged ecosystems like the Florida Everglades.
Coastal zone manangement & coastal regulation zone
This document discusses coastal zone management and regulation in India. It provides background on the diversity of India's coastal ecosystems and hazards. It describes the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) framework and its evolution over time. The CRZ established development restrictions within 500 meters of the coast. However, committees identified failures of the top-down CRZ approach and lack of participation. The Swaminathan and MSS committees recommended shifting to an integrated coastal zone management approach led by local communities from the territorial waters limit inland. This would better address livelihoods, development pressures, and environmental conservation in a sustainable manner.

World water-day-2018
World Water Day is celebrated annually on March 22nd to raise awareness of the importance of freshwater. The 2018 theme is "Nature for Water" which explores how natural solutions can help overcome water challenges like floods, droughts and pollution. Some examples of natural solutions are restoring wetlands and reconnecting rivers to floodplains. The goals for World Water Day include improving water quality by reducing pollution and dumping, minimizing hazardous materials, and increasing water recycling and reuse to work towards sustainable development goals by 2030.
Assignment On Integrated Coastal Management Problem And Prospect
The document discusses integrated coastal zone management (ICZM), specifically in Bangladesh. It begins by defining ICZM and its objectives of managing coastal areas sustainably to balance environmental, economic, social and other factors. It then provides details on Bangladesh's coastal zone, dividing it into three regions, and discusses why management is needed due to natural hazards and human impacts. The importance of coastal zones is outlined in terms of resources and productivity. The status of ICZM in Bangladesh covers managing coastal people, resources, economy and environment sustainably. Prospects and problems of coastal zone management are then summarized.
Importance of protecting urban wetlands
Urban wetlands provide many benefits to cities. They reduce flooding by absorbing flood waters and act as buffers during storms. Wetlands also replenish drinking water by filtering water that seeps into aquifers. The plant life and soil in wetlands naturally filters waste and improves water quality. Wetlands also improve urban air quality and provide green spaces that promote human well-being. Sustainable protection of urban wetlands involves integrating them into land use planning, preserving and restoring them, managing water consumption, and reducing harmful runoff.

This document discusses the risks and vulnerabilities of fisheries and aquaculture to climate change, and ways to build resilience. Over 500 million livelihoods depend on fisheries and aquatic foods provide nutrition for 4 billion people. Climate change is causing impacts like changes in ocean currents and acidification that affect production, ecology, and communities. Examples of adaptation include diversifying livelihoods, flexible management policies, and risk reduction. Mitigation opportunities include carbon storage in oceans, renewable energy from oceans, and reducing emissions from aquatic food systems and transport. The document provides an overview of climate impacts and outlines both adaptation and mitigation approaches for building resilience in fisheries and aquaculture.
AN OVERVIEW.pptx
Wetlands are important ecosystems that provide many economic and ecological benefits. They were once viewed negatively but that changed as people recognized their value. Wetlands are defined based on hydrology, hydric soils, and hydrophytic vegetation. Malaysia has many important wetland areas, mainly mangroves, that protect the coastline and support biodiversity and local communities.

Women paying the health cost of the climate crisis
The impacts of climate change result in both economic and non-economic losses and damages. While economic impacts often receive attention through policy and programming, the non-economic losses remain largely invisible and unaddressed, particularly in climate finance.
The presentation by IIED principal researcher Ritu Bharadwaj, from an online event in March 2024, focuses on the loss and damage faced by women battling drought, debt bondage and migration in Beed, India.
The presentation examines how women are disproportionately affected by climate change, looking at the connections between climate-induced droughts and debt bondage, and significant impacts on women's physical and mental health – leading to drastic health decisions.
It introduces the innovative C-CIQ methodology, which is a comprehensive approach allowing for in-depth assessment of climate change impacts, encompassing not only physical and economic aspects but also the social, cultural and psychological wellbeing of individuals and communities.
The C-CIQ methodology, with its emphasis on simplicity, replicability and clarity, aims to provide a framework for quantifying non-economic loss and damage through composite indices, making it a valuable tool for practitioners and policymakers in diverse contexts.

Adaptability of peri-urban agricultural workers towards resilience
This case study highlights the way that women working in peri-urban agriculture in India have to adapt to changing circumstances in order to sustain themselves and their families.
It was produced by Siddharth Agarwal, Kanupriya Kothiwal, Shabnam Verma and Sampurna Kundu of the Urban Health Resource Centre, India.
Conclusions include agricultural work being one of the major forms of livelihood for peri-urban workers. Many peri-urban workers chose this form of work because they already had the skills from their native rural farms.
Women find agricultural work convenient because of its self-paced nature and because farms are mostly close to where they live. Food security is another benefit, as many women are able to procure vegetables and food grains from their farming work.
Peri-urban women workers are resilient, adapting to an ever-changing peri-urban ecosystem and often pursuing an additional livelihood in seasons when agricultural work is not available. Their strategy of forming links with more than one employer offering different forms of work is key to this resilience.
They are also preparing themselves for a future when farms will be sold to developers and builders, and express anxiety about the uncertainty of sustaining agriculture work in the future.
The adaptability and resilience shown by the workers can be tailored to other situations and promoted among vulnerable urban women workers.

Stitching their trajectories with determination: stories from Indore, India
Many women in Indore work as informal home-based garment workers. This case study demonstrates their commitment to investing in equipment and learning new skills in order to contribute to the family income.
Behind closed doors lies a vast segment of largely invisible women and girls working in India’s flourishing garment industry.
Women working from home account for about 14% of urban employment in India. In low- and middle-income countries, outsourced garment production thrives on account of cheap labour to keep the levels of production high and costs low.
Through pursuing sewing, women can overcome the limitations of little or no education or formal training. Most women stitchers enhance their skills through experience. This helps them get regular and progressively higher paying piece-rate work.

The document summarizes a study on the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on wild meat use and perceptions in communities near the Dja Faunal Reserve in Cameroon. The study found that the pandemic increased difficulties in accessing schools, income, travel, customers, work and food for many communities. It also found that wild meat consumption remained important despite Covid-19 risks. Most respondents disagreed with proposals to close wild meat markets due to livelihood dependencies and a lack of alternatives. The conclusion was that pandemic impacts on livelihoods seemed more concerning than health risks from wild meat, and findings could help policymaking support communities.
Drivers of wild meat consumption steph brittain
Dr. Stephanie Brittain conducted research on the drivers of wild meat consumption in Cameroon through a literature review and fieldwork interviewing 542 people in four villages. Key findings included: 1) availability and affordability are primary drivers of wild meat consumption, while health benefits and culture are secondary; 2) consumption rates varied between villages and demographics; and 3) preferences for wild meat centered on taste and ease of access, while avoidance was due to taste, health, and tradition. The research provided insights into designing alternative food projects that consider local tastes, traditions, and access to markets and resources.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
