Marine Protected Areas
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309072867
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Although the ocean-and the resources within-seem limitless, there is clear evidence that human impacts such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution disrupt marine ecosystems and threaten the long-term productivity of the seas. Declining yields in many fisheries and decay of treasured marine habitats, such as coral reefs, has heightened interest in establishing a comprehensive system of marine protected areas (MPAs)-areas designated for special protection to enhance the management of marine resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to evaluate how MPAs can be employed in the United States and internationally as tools to support specific conservation needs of marine and coastal waters. Marine Protected Areas compares conventional management of marine resources with proposals to augment these management strategies with a system of protected areas. The volume argues that implementation of MPAs should be incremental and adaptive, through the design of areas not only to conserve resources, but also to help us learn how to manage marine species more effectively.

Restoring and Protecting Marine Habitat
Author: Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309048435
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Tremendous changes have occurred this century in the nation's coastal habitats, in the way society views them, and in the way they are managed. This volume offers a complete, highly readable assessment of how scientific knowledge and coastal engineering capabilities can be more effectively used to protect and restore marine habitat. It addresses traditional and innovative uses of technology to protect remaining natural marine habitats, to enhance or restore those that have been altered, and to create marine habitat from lands used for other purposes. The use of dredged materials as a vital resource in protection and restoration work is explored. The book also explores organizational, management, and regulatory barriers to using the best available technology and engineering practice. Specific options for improvements are offered in each area.

Draft Technical Guidance to NMFS for Implementing the Essential Fish Habitat Requirements for the Magnuson-Stevens Act
Author: United States. National Marine Fisheries Service. Office of Habitat Conservation
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fish stock assessment
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
"This document provides technical assistance for description, identification, conservation, and enhancement of EFH, and is designed to aid Fishery Management Councils (Councils) in implementing the EFH requirements of section 303 and 305 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). This manual also describes how NMFS, acting on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), will implement its EFH requirements under the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Additionally, the manual will implement its EFH requirements under the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Additionally, the manual elaborates on the procedures for the statutorily required consultations for Federal actions that may adversely affect EFH and recommendations made to any state agency for any actions undertaken that may adversely affect EFH. Finally, it is intended to be updated regularly, e.g., as new and innovation methods become available in habitat identification and mapping. This effort supports Congress' intent that habitat considerations receive increased attention for the conservation and management of marine fishery resources (sec 2(a)(9) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act).
