The document summarizes pressures facing the Firth of Clyde in Scotland including commercial fishing, tourism, sewage, and military activity. Cod, whiting, and haddock fisheries have collapsed with catches declining over 95%. Local divers formed COAST to help establish no-take zones in Lamlesh Bay to protect maerl and reverse fish declines. COAST aims to improve the marine environment, sustain tourism and fishing livelihoods, and increase the area's popularity. The no-take zones have caused some conflict between stakeholders who agree and disagree with the restrictions. The COAST project balances environmental, social, and economic considerations to work towards sustainability.

Ocean resources
The document discusses several ways humans interact with and impact the ocean through fishing, shipping, tourism, mining, and how the ocean functions as a climate buffer and producer of oxygen. Fishing supplies 16% of the world's protein but can lead to overfishing. Shipping transports cargo globally but also causes pollution and introduces invasive species. Tourism provides income but damages habitats. Mining extracts resources but destroys ecosystems. The ocean regulates climate and produces much of the planet's oxygen through phytoplankton.
Coral reefs by Abbie
The coral reef is an underwater ecosystem that is home to many tropical fish and sharks, and people can visit coral reefs to scuba dive and observe these animals. Coral reefs are threatened by boats that drop oil in the water killing fish, and overfishing that endangers some fish species. People need to be careful visiting coral reefs to protect this fragile underwater environment.

The document discusses attractions in the Bahamas, focusing on the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island. It describes the Atlantis as imitating the lost city of Atlantis, with 26 floors containing various hotels, lavish designs, and the largest marine aquarium in the world containing over 20,000 fish. A highlight is the expensive Bridge Suite connecting two towers, once occupied by Michael Jackson. The Bahamas offer beaches, opportunities to see local life, swimming with dolphins, and learning about the region's culture and marine life at the Atlantis aquarium.
Fishing
Ireland has a long history of fishing due to its location on the Atlantic Ocean and continental shelf waters that are ideal for fish populations. However, overfishing has become a major problem in Ireland, depleting fish stocks and costing many people their jobs. Overfishing occurred for several reasons, including Ireland joining the EU and having to share waters, improvements in fishing technology that allowed larger catches, use of small mesh nets that caught young fish, and a lack of fishing quotas or seasons. In response, Ireland implemented measures to promote sustainable fishing, such as conservation zones, catch quotas, bans on endangered species, adjusted net sizes, and limited fishing seasons.

What do we know about the state of fisheries in the Baltic Sea. Presentation to the high level meeting to discuss the challenges faced in the Baltic Sea. https://ec.europa.eu/info/events/our-baltic-conference_en
The Groundfish Crisis In Atlantic Canada
The document discusses the groundfish crisis in Atlantic Canada, where overfishing led to a catastrophic decline in cod stocks in the 1980s. Groundfish like cod, redfish, haddock, plaice and halibut have long been an important part of the economy and culture in Atlantic Canada. By the 1990s, cod harvests dropped as low as 37,000 metric tonnes, compared to the typical 250,000-300,000 metric tonnes harvested annually since the early 1800s. In 2009, NAFO reopened cod fishing and allowed 5,500 tonnes to be caught, despite scientific recommendations of only 4,100 tonnes, with some arguing it was too early to reopen the fisheries.
Tobago
Tobago is a small island northeast of Trinidad with a population of about 500,000, most of whom are descendants of African slaves brought to work the sugar plantations in the 17th century. Considered one of the jewels of the Caribbean, Tobago has unspoiled tropical rainforests and a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Its white sandy beaches and blue waters provide opportunities for relaxation as well as adventures like surfing, scuba diving, and kayaking, and attractions include the famous Nylon Pool and one of the largest barrier reefs in the world.

Story of bob
While oceans were once viewed as an endless resource, overfishing and habitat destruction have led to declining fish populations and damaged marine environments. To better protect oceans going forward, sustainable management principles must be adopted that involve bold, decisive, innovative, and swift action.
Project dd's
New Zealand harvests on average 409,449 tonnes of fish per year from its waters, catching over 130 species commercially. The country's fish catch comes primarily from the Chatham Rise and Subantarctic grounds, providing 60% of the catch, and from waters off the South Island, providing 30% of the catch. Commercial fishing significantly decreases fish populations over time and damages marine ecosystems. Steps must be taken to limit overfishing and protect the environment.

Where do fishers fish?
The document discusses where fisheries are located based on oceanographic factors. The best fisheries are found near continental shelves, where cold and warm ocean currents meet to increase plankton. It notes the largest fisheries are located within countries' exclusive economic zones in territorial waters, and lists examples like the European Union, Spanish, and Moroccan waters. The document also examines aquaculture and fish farming as alternatives for seafood production.
the leyte gulfPresentation1.lorz
The Gulf of Leyte is located in the Philippines Sea, east of Leyte Island. It is bounded by Samar Island to the north and Mindanao Island to the south. The largest naval battle in history, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, took place here in 1944 between Allied and Japanese naval forces. The waters of the Gulf of Leyte and surrounding areas are rich in marine life and resources but are increasingly threatened by overfishing and destruction of habitats.
Coral
A coral reef is a diverse ecosystem made up of living organisms like plants, fish, and other creatures. It is home to about 25% of all marine life. Coral polyps allow algae called zooxanthellae to live inside their tissues. The algae perform photosynthesis to provide nutrients to the coral polyps through carbohydrates. This symbiotic relationship allows coral reefs to flourish in nutrient-poor tropical waters.

Stunted seed production & culture practices
This document discusses stunted seed production in aquaculture. It defines stunted seed as aged fish that have not yet reached their full growth potential due to being reared at high densities with limited food. Rearing fish this way is common practice to meet the high demand for seed. Though the fish experience slowed growth initially, they are believed to exhibit compensatory growth when conditions improve, growing rapidly to market size. The document outlines the history, causes, procedures, advantages and applicability of producing stunted seed.
Biology "B" / Ch42
1) The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and other materials throughout the body and links exchange surfaces with cells.
2) In mammals, the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood from the lungs through the systemic circuit and oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary circuit in a double circulation system.
3) The cardiac cycle involves rhythmic heart contraction (systole) and relaxation (diastole) regulated by the sinoatrial node, and varying blood pressure and flow reflect the structure of arteries, veins, and capillaries.

Square codend mesh
- Square mesh codends can help reduce bycatch compared to traditional diamond mesh codends. Square mesh retains its shape as the codend fills, leaving openings for small fish to escape. Studies show square mesh codends of 55-60mm reduced bycatch by 22-33% and juveniles by up to 95% compared to 100mm diamond mesh.
- Another bycatch reduction method is using a square mesh window in the top of the codend or trawl body. As fish pass through the trawl they orient towards the device and can escape through the square openings.
- Bycatch reduction devices like Dan Watson's design of escape rings fitted along trawl nets can also make trawling more sustainable by allowing non
Threats to marine biodiversity
Threats to marine biodiversity include climate change, overfishing, habitat damage, pollution, and ecosystem alterations. Climate change causes increased ocean temperatures and acidity. Overfishing depletes fish populations and damages habitats. Bottom trawling severely damages coral reefs and seafloors. Pollution such as nutrients, plastics, noise, and chemicals harm marine life. Introduced species alter ecosystems. Protections include limiting fishing and gear, protecting habitats through refuges and preserves, reducing pollution, and international agreements on climate change.
Aquatic Biodiversity

Chapter 5 water quality
This document discusses water quality parameters and pollution. It covers topics like point and nonpoint pollution sources, inorganic chemicals like arsenic and nutrients like phosphorus that can cause algal blooms. Water quality is managed through programs that monitor parameters and pollutants in surface and groundwater to protect ecosystems and human health.
Water sampling methods and tools
This document discusses various methods for sampling water. It begins by explaining that sampling must account for environmental heterogeneity and can involve static or dynamic systems. It then outlines five main sampling methods: systematic, random, judgmental, stratified, and haphazard. For each method, it provides an example of how it would be implemented for water sampling. It also discusses types of samples, equipment for surface and groundwater sampling, and considerations for continuous monitoring. The key points are that sampling must address spatial and temporal variability and that different methods have advantages for different sampling needs and environments.
Water quality and sampling
Water quality can be assessed through various physical, chemical, and biological indicators. It depends on factors like geology, ecosystem, and human activities. Standards are set based on intended uses like drinking, industrial, or environmental. Water is sampled and tested using on-site or laboratory methods to monitor these indicators. Maintaining adequate water quality is important for public health and ecosystem protection.
Water quality
Water quality refers to the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water. It is determined by measuring various parameters and comparing them to standards for different intended uses like drinking water, recreation, agriculture, and ecosystem health. Assessing water quality involves understanding natural and human factors that can influence contaminant levels. Monitoring programs and technologies help evaluate water quality over time and inform policies to protect water resources and public health.
Water quality standard
The document discusses India's efforts to provide safe drinking water to its population. It notes that in 1975, over 1 billion people globally lacked access to safe water. In response, India developed various five-year plans from 1980-1997 to expand access, with the goal of supplying safe water to all rural villages. Key aspects of ensuring water safety discussed include water quality standards, testing for contaminants, monitoring programs, and strategies like water treatment and sanitation inspections. The document also examines health impacts of contaminated water and international targets for access to improved water sources.
Water Pollution
The document summarizes various topics related to water pollution including:
- Types of water pollutants such as bacteria, chemicals, and excess heat.
- Sources of water pollution including agriculture, industry, mining, urban and suburban development.
- Effects of pollution on surface water bodies like streams, lakes, rivers and oceans. Groundwater is also impacted by pollution.
- Technological solutions and regulations that have helped reduce water pollution in some areas but it remains a serious problem, especially in developing nations. Prevention is key to protecting water resources.
Water pollution power point
The document discusses water pollution, specifically focusing on the Cuyahoga River fire of 1969. It describes how the river regularly caught fire due to severe pollution from industrial waste from nearby steel mills and businesses. The 1969 fire drew national attention and helped spur the environmental movement and passage of the Clean Water Act of 1972. The document also discusses different types of water pollution, including point source pollution from identifiable sources like factories, and non-point source pollution from diffuse sources like agricultural and urban/suburban runoff.
Water pollution powerpoint
Water pollution occurs when contaminants are released into bodies of water, compromising water quality for other uses. Common causes include industrial waste, sewage, oil pollution, and nuclear waste from improper dumping and underground storage leaks. Effects of water pollution include toxic water that can sicken humans and animals, thermal heating of water sources, and hundreds of turtle deaths in Australian waters each year from oil coatings. Individuals can help prevent water pollution by conserving water use, proper fertilizer application, participating in clean ups, and raising awareness.

Coastal conflicts great barrier reef
The case study examines the economic benefits and environmental costs of coastal development around the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It identifies issues like pollution, climate change, overfishing, and shipping that threaten the reef. The reef provides significant economic benefits through tourism, which is valued at over $1 billion per year and supports activities like fishing. However, various stakeholders have conflicting interests, as shown in the conflict matrix. The reef also has high environmental and ecological value due to its biodiversity.
over exploitation of wild stocks
This document discusses overexploitation of wild fish stocks. It begins by explaining different types of overfishing including growth overfishing, recruitment overfishing, and ecosystem overfishing. It then provides examples of overexploited fish stocks in India like oil sardine, Indian mackerel, and Bombay duck. Studies on fish stock status in Karnataka and Kerala are mentioned, identifying certain species as depleted or declining. The document concludes by discussing the negative impacts of overexploitation, and some potential solutions like establishing marine protected areas and implementing fishing quotas.
Coral Reefs and Sustainable Management
Coral reefs are located in tropical waters above 24 degrees Celsius. They provide important ecosystem goods and services but are disappearing rapidly. Over 70% of coral reefs in Cebu, Philippines are already dead due to threats like overfishing, pollution, blast fishing, and cyanide fishing from poverty and development. A community-based coral farm project in Cebu aims to rehabilitate degraded reefs and provide alternative livelihoods to fisherfolk through coral farming.
sust Aquatic Res.pdf
This document discusses factors that have caused fishery collapses, including habitat damage, pollution, obstructions to fish movement, overfishing, and climatic changes. It provides examples of fishery collapses in the North Sea from overfishing of herring and haddock. However, it also gives examples where sustainable exploitation has been achieved, such as with shrimp in the Severn Estuary and sole in British waters. The document concludes that sustainable exploitation requires protecting habitats, allowing survival of sufficient adults to reproduce, monitoring climate effects, and maintaining the natural age structure and life history of targeted species.
Coral reefs camron
Coral reefs are underwater ecosystems composed of calcium carbonate structures secreted by coral polyps. Coral polyps are tiny marine animals that cluster together in colonies to form reefs. Reefs grow best in warm, sunny, shallow, clear, and agitated waters. Major threats to coral reefs include sediment, nutrient, and pesticide pollution from coastal runoff, which encourages algal blooms and crown-of-thorns starfish that damage the reefs. Over half of Australia's Great Barrier Reef has seen coral decline since 1985 due to these pollution-driven threats.

Coral reef Threats, conservation and Restoration.pptx
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. About 25% of the ocean's fish depend on healthy coral reefs. Unfortunately, coral reef ecosystems are severely threatened. Some threats are natural, such as diseases, predators, and storms. Other threats are caused by people, including pollution, sedimentation, unsustainable fishing practices, and climate change, which is raising ocean temperatures and causing ocean acidification. Saving and restoring the world's coral reefs requires a multi-pronged approach that ranges from the local to the global level.

GeographyReview29_3Coralreefs.pptx
Coral reefs are formed by colonies of coral polyps that secrete calcium carbonate exoskeletons. Reefs support tremendous biodiversity and provide valuable ecosystem services like fishing and tourism. However, reefs are severely threatened by both local stresses such as pollution, overfishing and tourism, as well as global threats like rising sea temperatures and acidification. As a result, the Living Planet Index shows that coral health has declined 39% since 1970 and most reefs are under high threat, especially near populated coastlines. Conservation efforts through marine protected areas and restoration aim to preserve remaining reefs from further damage.
Coral Reefs (Neha & Renuka)
This presentation provides an overview of coral reefs, including their importance, types, threats, and conservation efforts. It discusses the key points that coral reefs are highly biodiverse ecosystems that are economically and environmentally valuable but also face significant threats from climate change, overfishing, pollution, and development. Coral bleaching is highlighted as a major threat associated with rising water temperatures from climate change.

The value of estuarine and coastal ecosystems
This document discusses the value of ecosystem services provided by estuarine and coastal ecosystems, including coral reefs, seagrasses, salt marshes, mangroves, and sand beaches/dunes. It identifies key services such as coastal protection, fisheries production, carbon sequestration, and tourism/recreation. The document also outlines threats and stressors facing these ecosystems, such as overfishing, pollution, coastal development, and climate change. The overall purpose is to illustrate current understanding of the ecosystem services of estuarine and coastal areas and to integrate knowledge on valuing changes to human welfare from impacts on these services.
OVER FISHING.pptx
The document discusses overfishing and its causes, methods, and impacts. It notes that overfishing occurs when too many fish are caught such that the breeding population cannot recover. Common causes include poor fisheries management, unsustainable fishing practices, and illegal fishing. Methods of overfishing include using longlines, driftnets, trawling, gillnets, seine nets, and dynamite fishing. The impacts are severe depletion of fish stocks, with 80% of stocks fully exploited and many predator fish facing extinction. Remedies proposed are avoiding overfishing, improving sustainability practices, and preserving habitats.

Google Earth CPD Brighton
This document discusses using Google Earth to enhance geography teaching and learning. It provides examples of mapping data using polygons, embedding multimedia like videos and photos for geographical inquiry, and presenting fieldwork data. Specific skills are outlined, like using polygons and overlays to map crime data in London or rosewood logging in Madagascar. Presenting coastal fieldwork data is discussed using history mode, overlays and GE Graphs. The document also introduces tools for creating global thematic maps and presenting data with GE Graphs.
Geographical inquiry
The document discusses different perspectives on curriculum design and knowledge acquisition in geography education. It presents three potential futures for geography education: 1) "Govian Elitism" which focuses only on procedural knowledge, 2) A "Knowledge Society" which balances procedural, content, and core knowledge, and 3) "Objective Knowledge" which focuses only on core knowledge. The key idea is that students need all three types of knowledge (core, content, and procedural) to fully understand geography. Geographical inquiry is presented as a way to connect these different types of knowledge through activities that create needs to know, use data, make sense of information, and reflect on learning.
Madagascar sow
This document analyzes the content knowledge covered in a Year 9 inquiry-based unit on Madagascar's uncertain future. It shows how students acquired foundational knowledge about Madagascar's location, development, and biodiversity in early lessons. Later lessons required applying and linking this content knowledge, as well as developing procedural knowledge through activities on illegal rosewood logging and sustainable decision making. The unit assessed students' understanding of why Madagascar faces an uncertain future based on three possible futures scenarios.
Multimedia Geography through Google Earth
This document discusses using Google Earth to teach multimedia geography. Google Earth allows students to explore the world through geolocated photos, videos, and audio. Examples are given of projects like tours of tribes, sporting events, biomes, and fieldwork. The document explains how to embed multimedia from sites like Flickr, YouTube, Audioboo, and others directly into Google Earth placemarks. It also describes using snapshot views to focus on embedded media. An example is given of an investigation into rosewood logging using geolocated materials from Madagascar, China, and the USA.
Loggers turn to bush meat as supplies run dry up
Loggers trapped inside Marojejy National Park with dwindling food supplies have turned to hunting lemurs, including critically endangered Silky Sifaka, to survive. One logger reported that they have run out of rice and have not been paid for dangerous work, floating heavy logs down rivers without equipment. The logger questioned why China, who receives the logs, does not help the loggers transport more logs out of the forest if they are benefiting from the operation.

Bangladesh Climate Change
Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its location in a delta region with high population density and most areas being less than 5 meters above sea level. Climate change is expected to exacerbate existing threats like sea level rise, stronger cyclones, heavier monsoon rains, flooding from the Ganges and Brahmaputra Rivers, and drought in northern areas. This will negatively impact the lives and livelihoods of Bangladeshis, many of whom work in fishing and rice farming. Heavier rains could wash away homes and crops, while flooding and drought could destroy harvests and force people into debt.

3) An industrial city was built 10km outside Curitiba to avoid pollution and provide jobs for citizens.
4) The city turned flood plains into parks and increased green space to over 50 square meters per person to handle flooding and
Las Vegas: An Unsustainable City
Las Vegas is located in the Mojave Desert of Nevada, but has grown rapidly from a small rural town to a major urban center with a population of over 1.5 million. While surrounded by rural desert, Las Vegas itself is considered urban due to its large population and density. The rapid growth and development of Las Vegas has transformed what was once undeveloped desert into a sprawling city, through a process known as greenfield development on previously unused land. The city faces significant sustainability challenges associated with its arid desert location, including high water and energy consumption as well as impacts to local wildlife and climate change.
Migration UK
Migration has significantly changed the demographics of the UK. There are several types of migrants, including illegal migrants, displaced migrants, and voluntary migrants who move willingly. Recent trends show increases in UK migration, with migrants living and working predominantly in major cities like London. The population distribution shapes a pyramid structure, with more working-age migrants and fewer children or elderly, reflecting voluntary economic migration patterns.
