New Case - Lisa Mead - Depletion of marine life
This document discusses the depletion of marine life due to a lack of integrated ocean governance and overfishing. It presents a new case proposing that extensive overfishing and inadequate marine conservation efforts are violating the rights of the ocean. Specifically, it notes that the majority of fish stocks managed by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations are overfished. Additionally, the EU regularly sets total allowable catches higher than recommended scientific limits, threatening fish populations. The document argues this violates the ocean's right to life and natural processes as laid out in the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth.

Overfishing occurs when more fish are caught than can naturally replenish, threatening the balance of aquatic ecosystems. Methods like bottom trawling are especially destructive as they involve dragging heavy nets along the seafloor and result in substantial unintended bycatch. The effects of overfishing include decreased biodiversity, disruption of food webs and ecosystem balance, destruction of habitats like reefs, and depletion of a major food source that can ruin fishing industries. No-take zones that prohibit fishing have been established in some areas to allow fish populations to recover and ensure long-term prosperity of fishing. Additional measures proposed to combat overfishing include catch limits, improved enforcement, alternative fisheries, and abolishing destructive practices.

The document discusses the issue of overfishing and its negative consequences. It provides background on overfishing, including its definition as catching more fish than can be replaced through natural reproduction. The document outlines some consequences of overfishing like species extinction and decreases in fish sizes. It examines specific examples of overfishing problems like the collapse of Atlantic cod populations. Additionally, the document discusses concepts like bycatch and different fishing methods, and proposes solutions such as no-take zones to help mitigate overfishing.
overfishing 10-8 2011
The document discusses the issue of overfishing and its negative impacts. It defines overfishing as catching fish faster than populations can replenish. While the world's oceans could theoretically support four planets' worth of fish, many species have become reduced or extinct due to overfishing. The document also examines fishing down the food chain, bycatch, bottom trawling, and how both overfishing and government subsidies of the fishing industry can harm marine ecosystems.
Overfishing & Aquaculture
Covers current state of global fisheries, fishing technology, bycatch, artificial reefs and aquaculture.
Overfishing by yuliya_miryana_bedros
Overfishing has led to declines in fish populations and damaged ocean ecosystems. Early overfishing in the 1800s depleted whale populations for oil. After WWII, efforts to increase protein availability quadrupled fishing capacity. Today the annual global fish catch exceeds 120 million tons, though overfishing is reducing populations of many species. Destructive fishing methods like bottom trawling damage coral reefs and seafloor habitats. Bycatch and discarded catch also contribute to declining fish and other marine species. No-take zones that prohibit all fishing have helped restore some ecosystems and fish populations.
Water pollution
Water pollution is a serious global problem. It has various causes like industrial waste, marine dumping, oil spills, and agricultural runoff. This contamination affects ecosystems, spreads disease, and impacts food safety and access to clean water. Innovative solutions are being developed like the Great Bubble Barrier which uses air bubbles to divert waste in rivers, ferrofluid that binds microplastics magnetically, and devices like the Seabin and Wasteshark that collect floating trash from ports and harbors.

1. Overfishing is a major problem affecting many bodies of water like the Atlantic Ocean and areas around the Philippines. It disrupts ecosystems and can cause extinctions of species.
2. Techniques like bottom trawling that indiscriminately catch large amounts of fish and other sea life are very harmful. They destroy ocean habitats and catch unintended species as bycatch.
3. No-take zones that prohibit fishing have had some success in restoring ecosystems and increasing biodiversity and fish populations, which can also help fishing industries.

Reefs at Risk - 1998
Findings from the 1998 WRI report - Reefs at Risk: A Map-Based Indicator of Threats to the World's Coral Reefs (http://bit.ly/8P50bO) - to be revisited in 2010.
Overfishing
The document discusses several issues with overfishing, including depleting fish populations, discarding unwanted catch, and bottom trawling damaging seafloor habitats. It provides examples of overfishing causing the cod population collapse in Canada in 1992, which resulted in economic crisis and job losses. Additionally, it discusses threats from shark finning and issues with aquaculture. Solutions proposed include creating no-take zones to help species regenerate and moving to more sustainable aquaculture practices.
Jasmine aquatic diversity
The document provides information about aquatic biodiversity including definitions of key terms like plankton, nekton, benthos, and decomposers. It also discusses aquatic ecosystems like coastal zones, wetlands, and intertidal zones. Multiple choice questions test comprehension of topics like ocean acidification, plankton types, eutrophic lakes, and aquaculture. A free response question asks why aquatic plants tend to be smaller while some marine mammals are extremely large.
The Global Ocean Crisis
The world’s oceans are home to an incredibly diverse array of life and are vital to human health, livelihood, and culture. Despite these rich benefits, oceans, marine wildlife, and their ecosystems continue to be damaged by human activities. Watch this presentation to learn more!

Powerpoint presentation by jennifer ayoub
The document discusses overfishing as a threat to the Great Barrier Reef. While pollution, climate change and coral bleaching impact the reef, overfishing is a relatively new issue but a growing problem. The fishing industry generates over $1 billion annually for Australia but overfishing is unsustainable and can damage ocean ecosystems and coastal communities that rely on seafood. The document calls for individuals to be informed about overfishing and support sustainable practices to protect the Great Barrier Reef and oceans for future generations.
Blue economy and coastal management in the coming decade
This document discusses the blue economy and coastal management over the coming decade. It defines the blue economy as a sustainable ocean-based economic model dependent on coastal and marine ecosystems. The document outlines various ocean-based and ocean-related economic activities, but notes threats to the blue economy like pollution, overfishing, and climate change impacts. It proposes developing new industries in areas like renewable energy and biotechnology. Finally, the document calls for sustainably managing ocean resources and ecosystems over the next decade through measures like preventing pollution, regulating fishing, and increasing scientific research capacity.

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.
Developing environmentally sustainable societies
“Something will have gone out of us as a people if we ever let the remaining wilderness be destroyed; if we permit the last virgin forests to be turned into comic books and plastic cigarette cases; if we drive the few remaining members of the wild species into zoos or to extinction; if we pollute the last clear air and dirty the last clean streams and push our paved roads through the last of the silence, so that never again will Americans be free in their own country from the noise, the exhausts, the stinks of human and automotive waste.” ~Wallace Stegner, letter to David E. Pesonen of the Wildland Research Center, 3 December 1960 (Thanks, Bekah)
Fishing and Geographical Issues
Ocean overfishing is simply the taking of wildlife from the sea at rates too high for fished species to replace themselves. The earliest overfishing occurred in the early 1800s when humans, seeking blubber for lamp oil, decimated the whale population. Some fish that we eat, including Atlantic cod and herring and California's sardines, were also harvested to the brink of extinction by the mid-1900s.
Depleting Fish biodiversity
The document discusses the depletion of fish biodiversity along the Indian coast due to overexploitation and environmental changes. It notes that over 70% of the world's fish species are fully exploited or depleted due to poor fisheries management, destructive fishing practices, and excessive bycatch. A study in Kerala found that two popular fish species, Lactarius lactarius and Pampus argenteus, have been depleted. Conservation measures like enforcing bycatch reduction technologies and regulating total fishing efforts are needed to protect marine biodiversity.
Globalization Fish Quotas
Overfishing is causing major environmental, economic, and political problems globally. Environmentally, overfishing damages ocean ecosystems and fish stocks. Economically, there are too many fishing vessels chasing too few fish, overcapitalizing the industry. Politically, countries struggle to agree on and enforce fishing quotas to regulate catch amounts. Potential solutions include implementing rights-based fisheries management, promoting sustainable practices, and increasing international cooperation through agreements.

Impact of human activities on global marine environment
Impact of human activities on global marine environmentSt.Xavier's College , Palayamkottai - 627 002
The oceans are enormous in their size, volume and depth.
Animal life in the sea is very varied and more diversified in terms shape, size, form and weight-right from microscopic plankton to the giant whale.
Marine pollution is the introduction by man, directly or indirectly, of substances or energy into the marine environment (including estuaries), resulting in such deleterious effects as; harm to living resources: hazards to human healthFishing
The document discusses that on December 15-16, EU fisheries ministers will decide on fishing limits for 2012. It notes that three out of four EU fish stocks are overfished, and without action only eight of 136 stocks will be viable by 2022. It argues that Ireland's fisheries minister, Simon Coveney, has an opportunity to take a stand against overfishing by pushing for limits that do not exceed scientific advice, as recommended by recent stakeholder consultations and Coveney himself. The document closes by analogizing exceeding scientific fishing limits to driving a truck over a bridge with a lower weight limit.
Protecting the marine environment
The document discusses the marine environment, which covers over 70% of the planet and contains 97% of the earth's water. It notes that marine ecosystems hold 80% of all life on the planet and lists species diversity in the Philippines, including over 800 coral species. The marine environment is important for producing oxygen, moderating climate, and providing food and livelihoods. However, it faces threats such as pollution, overfishing, and climate change, negatively impacting species like turtles, sharks, and seahorses. The document encourages learning about and protecting the ocean.
Coral reefs!!!
Coral reefs are threatened by several major factors: (1) urban and industrial pollution such as sewage, agrochemicals, and oil pollution are poisoning reefs; (2) live coral is removed from reefs for construction materials and souvenirs, damaging reefs; (3) global warming has led to increased coral bleaching due to higher water temperatures and this is expected to worsen in the coming decades.

It provides examples of biodiversity loss in various aquatic ecosystems like Lake Victoria and the Florida Everglades. The document also outlines approaches to protect aquatic biodiversity such as creating marine protected areas, sustainable fishing practices, reducing pollution, and restoring degraded habitats like wetlands.
Intact Oceans and Their Benefits, by Edward Lohnes, Conservation International
The document discusses several papers that illustrate the benefits of healthy oceans. It summarizes that intact oceans are crucial for life on Earth and provide many services like food and climate regulation. However, oceans face many threats from human activities. Studies show that marine protected areas can help restore ecosystems and biodiversity by limiting fishing and other extractive activities. Recent research also finds that dynamic protection approaches may further help increase fish biomass. Additionally, protecting blue carbon sinks can significantly offset carbon emissions and help mitigate climate change. Comprehensive ocean zoning is needed to manage cumulative human impacts on marine environments.
Degradation of Philippine Marine Life (2013)
The degradation of Philippine marine life and coastal ecosystems like coral reefs and mangroves is outlined. The Philippines has extensive coastline and marine resources but coral reefs have over 70% damage from threats like blast fishing, while mangrove areas have declined sharply from 500,000 hectares to just 117,000 hectares due to activities like aquaculture and development. Specific areas of concern are discussed like the Tubbataha Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that suffered damage when a US naval ship ran aground in the reef in 2013.
6.LECTURE-Natural_resources.ppt
This document discusses natural resources and their management. It makes the following key points:
1. Natural resources include both renewable and non-renewable materials from the environment that are used by humanity.
2. Effective management of natural resources requires sustainable use through practices like controlled extraction rates and preservation to allow renewal.
3. Historically, humanity has struggled to manage natural resources effectively due to population growth and overuse, leading to depletion of some resources.
4. Moving forward, the sustainable management of natural resources will be increasingly important as the global population and technological impacts continue to rise.
Global fish stocks presentation
Global fish stocks have been rapidly declining since the 1980s due to overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices. Several major fish species populations have declined by 80-90% due to industrialization, misleading science, and overoptimism. Unsustainable fishing has led to habitat destruction, reduction of biodiversity, destabilization of food chains, and marine pollution. Solutions proposed include implementing safe catch limits, reducing bycatch through gear modifications, catch share programs, marine protected areas, and developing sustainable aquaculture practices. Further research is needed on tracking illegal fishing, alternative fishmeal sources, and new gear technologies.
Marine biodiversity indicators
Marine biodiversity is declining globally at an unprecedented rate due to threats such as habitat loss, overexploitation of fish and other marine species, and invasive species. Currently only about 2.4% of the ocean is protected despite goals to increase protected areas to 10% by 2020. International agreements like the Convention on Biological Diversity have established targets and indicators to monitor biodiversity loss and guide conservation efforts, but global and EU targets to reduce biodiversity loss by 2010 were not met. Ongoing work includes identifying ecologically and biologically significant areas for enhanced protection and monitoring trends in species distributions and abundances to inform policymaking.

Marine Pollution by Dr Terney Pradeep Kumara
Marine pollution is a serious problem that primarily comes from land-based sources. It includes plastic waste, sewage, oil, and other chemicals that are washed or blown into the ocean. This pollution harms marine life and ecosystems, and also negatively impacts human health and coastal economies. Some key points:
- An estimated 10 billion tons of ballast water and 10,000 million gallons of sewage enter oceans annually.
- Plastic waste kills millions of seabirds and marine mammals each year and takes hundreds of years to decompose.
- Pollution has far-reaching effects, including toxic impacts on organisms, eutrophication, reduced water quality, and economic damages totaling billions of dollars annually.

Blue economy and coastal management in the coming Decade
This document discusses the blue economy and coastal management over the coming decade. It defines the blue economy as an ocean-based economic model largely dependent on coastal and marine ecosystems. The ocean covers most of the planet and supports billions of livelihoods and species. However, as much as 40% is heavily affected by human activities like pollution, overfishing, and habitat loss. The document outlines various ocean-based and ocean-related economic activities and new industries in the blue economy. It also discusses threats like pollution, overexploitation of resources, and the need for sustainable management of ocean resources and ecosystems in the coming decade to ensure continued benefits from the blue economy.

The EU Habitats Directive - the Appropriate Assessment Framework
This document discusses the Appropriate Assessment procedure required by the EU Habitats Directive for plans and projects affecting Natura 2000 sites. It explains that Appropriate Assessment evaluates the implications of a plan or project on the conservation objectives of a Natura 2000 site, both individually and in combination with other plans and projects, to determine if it will adversely affect the site's integrity. The result of the assessment must be an unequivocal decision of whether the project will or will not significantly impact the site, and projects found to affect integrity cannot proceed unless certain exception criteria are met. The document also presents two case studies of Appropriate Assessments in Hungary and the Czech Republic.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Enhanced action and stakeholder engagement for sustainable peatland management
Enhanced action and stakeholder engagement for sustainable peatland managementGlobal Landscapes Forum (GLF)
Presented by Jan Peters at GLF Peatlands 2024 - The Global Peatlands Assessment: Mapping, Policy, and ActionRecycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
