This document summarizes a seminar on marine protected areas. It defines marine protected areas as areas designated to protect marine ecosystems, habitats, and species. There are different types of marine protected areas that prohibit various commercial and recreational activities. Marine protected areas are needed to conserve biodiversity by protecting rare species, maintain ecosystem resilience to change, and allow for scientific study. Evidence shows that marine protected areas enhance species diversity and biomass both inside and outside their boundaries. The public benefits from opportunities to experience and learn about healthy marine environments through multi-use marine protected areas.
Marine protected area Marine protected areas (MPA) are protected areas of seas, oceans, estuaries or in the US, the Great Lakes .[2] These marine areas can come in many forms ranging from wildlife refuges to research facilities.[3] MPAs restrict human activity for a conservation purpose, typically to protect natural or cultural resources.[4] Such marine resources are protected by local, state, territorial, native, regional, national, or international authorities and differ substantially among and between nations. This variation includes different limitations on development, fishing practices, fishing seasons and catch limits, moorings and bans on removing or disrupting marine life. In some situations (such as with the Phoenix Islands Protected Area), MPAs also provide revenue for countries, potentially equal to the income that they would have if they were to grant companies permissions to fish.[5]
On 28 October 2016 in Hobart, Australia, the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources agreed to establish the first Antarctic and largest marine protected area in the world encompassing 1.55 million km2 (600,000 sq mi) in the Ross Sea.[6] Other large MPAs are in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans, in certain exclusive economic zones of Australia and overseas territories of France, the United Kingdom and the United States, with major (990,000 square kilometres (380,000 sq mi) or larger) new or expanded MPAs by these nations since 2012—such as Natural Park of the Coral Sea, Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area. When counted with MPAs of all sizes from many other countries, as of August 2016 there are more than 13,650 MPAs, encompassing 2.07% of the world's oceans, with half of that area – encompassing 1.03% of the world's oceans – receiving complete "no-take" designation.[7]

Existing in a very rudimentary form for decades, brackishwater aquaculture in Bangladesh had been until recently nothing more than a casual activity in some tidal flood plain areas in the southwest part of the country.
In the early seventies, Bangladesh entered the world export market for shrimp. This crustacean, which was locally cheap and not even accepted as food by many locals, suddenly became a very high priced commodity. Since then much attention has been focused on increased production of this crustacean. The public sector efforts concentrated on the exploitation of shrimp from the sea by operating trawlers. The increasing demand and steadily rising prices of shrimp also caused a silent revolution in the brackishwater aquafarming sector: what was merely a casual activity of little economic significance, emerged as a multimillion taka farming industry in a few years time. Increased by leaps and bound, the shrimp culture activities were spread over a 26,000 ha area by the beginning of the current decade.
Surprising though, all this development took place in the private sector, without any extension, demonstration or new infrastructure support from the Government of Bangladesh. It is only since 1980, the starting year of the Second Five Year Plan, that brackishwater aquafarming has officially come to prominence.
In the Third Five Year Plan (1985–90) high priority has been given to brackishwater shrimp and fish culture. In view of the urgent socio-economic needs of the country (for domestic consumption, for export and for rural employment), the favourable ecological condition for shrimp culture and the existence of large areas with high production potential, this national priority for brackishwater aquafarming development is most justified. According to the Third Five Year Plan projection, brackishwater aquaculture will extend over 80,000 ha, as against 55,812 ha in 1984/85. By the end of the plan period, the production will expectedly increase to 34,000 MT, from a 1984/85 production of 9,000 MT. Nearly 18,000 MT of exportable shrimp would possibly come from aquaculture; this quantity would be 60 percent of the shrimp quantity projected for export in the terminal year of the Third Plan.
The present shrimp farming area is reported to have already far exceeded the Third Five Year Plan target. At the beginning of 1986, shrimp culture activities spread over 115,000 ha, distributed over several coastal districts (Annex A). The production per unit area is, however, still rather low. The need for increase of the production rate by intensification of the culture methodologies is currently being emphasized. Thereabove, the farmers are facing a number of technical problems, that need systematic analysis and appropriate solution. The planned Brackishwater Fisheries Research Station (BFRS) under the Fisheries Research Institute will hopefully meet the research requirements for the brackishwater aquaculture sector of the country.

A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem characterized by reef-building corals. Coral reefs are important for many different reasons aside from supposedly containing the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. They:
• protect coastlines from the damaging effects of wave action and tropical storms
• provide habitats and shelter for many marine organisms
• are the source of nitrogen and other essential nutrients for marine food chains
• assist in carbon and nitrogen fixing
• nutrient recycling.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

MARINE PROTECTED AREA
1. A SEMINAR ON
MARINE PROTECTED AREA
SUBMITTED TO, SUBMITTED BY,
DR. S K ROUT RAJESH MANDAL
DEPT OF AEM FS-2015/24
1ST YEAR 2ND SEM
FACULTY OF FISHERY SCIENCES
2. What is a MPA?
A marine protected area is an area designated to
protect marine ecosystems, processes, habitats and
species which can contribute to the restoration and
replenishment of resources for social, economic and
cultural enrichment.
3. Marine Protected Areas are geographic areas
designated to protect or conserve marine life
and habitat
State Marine Reserve
Also called “No take”zones.The most
restrictive type of MPA
State Marine Park
Prohibits commercial fishing, but allows
recreational fishing
4. State Marine Conservation Area
Allows for specified commercial and
recreational activities
State Marine Recreational
Management Area
may restrict some recreational
opportunities (often duck hunting areas).
Only one in Central coast region
5. Just think of MPAs as the
underwater equivalent of
National Parks
6. Why MPAs and especially highly protected marine
nature reserves are needed.
1.For the conservation of biodiversity, including protection of
rare, scarce and threatened species and habitats.
3. For scientific study in areas that are as close as possible to natural.
2. To maintain the value of diverse communities in providing
resistance and resilience to change in marine communities.
7. MPAs are needed for the conservation of
biodiversity, including protection of rare, scarce
and threatened species
Sunset coral,
Leptopsammia
pruvoti.
Nationally rare
now a days
Erect sponge species. Several
are very slow-growing & long-
lived. For instance Axinella
dissimilis growth <1mm a year
8. MPAs are needed to maintain the value of diverse
communities in providing resistance and resilience
change in marine communities.
The main threats are:
• Physical disturbance and contaminants that
reduce species diversity in communities.
• Introduction of non-native species that become dominant.
• Climate change impacts on dominant or key
functional / structural species.
9. MPAs provide facilities for the public to enjoy a healthy
marine environment and the species and habitats there.
Ultimately, public enjoyment should be expressed as support
for strict regulation of existing and establishment of further
mpas.
10. Conclusions
• Evidence from MPAs in temperate areas indicates benefits of protection
including enhancement of species richness and biomass and enhancement of
commercial fish stocks outside.
• MPAs are needed for research on the biology of species, dynamics of
habitats and benefits of protection.
• The public will benefit from having information and educational facilities in
multi-use MPAs, and learn to value nature and to support conservation
• The public will benefit from having areas that are fully protected
and that they are allowed access to for benign activities.
