Coordination of Ocean Management: A Perspective on the Gulf of Maine
Author: Kenneth J. Havran
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
This study proposes a plan for the coordination of governmental ocean management initiatives for the Gulf of Maine region. The proposed plan has been constructed in light of the changing ocean jurisdiction framework brought about by the Third U.N. Law of the Sea Conference and the continuing realignment of Federal-State relationships. The objective of this planning effort was to design an efficient procedure for coordinating existing and future ocean uses and management programs, while simultaneously minimizing economic and political costs. Current and future marine uses of the Gulf of Maine are examined and described in the study. The plan proposes establishment of a Federal level Marine Affairs Council, within the Executive Office of the President, and formation of a Regional Ocean Management Council for the Gulf of Maine. The Marine Affairs Council would be composed of all relevant Executive branch department/agency heads and, would be chaired by the Vice-President. The Regional Ocean Management Council would be composed of Governors from adjacent States, regional Executive branch administrators, and a Presidential appointee and, would be open to participation from the marine user community. The study recommends that the proposed plan be implemented by legislative initiative or by Executive Order of the President. The roles of the U.S. Coast Guard in the proposed regional and Federal ocean management bodies are discussed in view of the current resource shortages being faced by this marine service agency.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Over the last two decades there has been increasing recognition that problems in oceanography and fisheries sciences and related marine areas are nearly all manifest in the spatio-temporal domain. Geographical Information Systems (GIS), the natural framework for spatial data handling, are being recognized as powerful tools with useful applications

Geoinformatics for Marine and Coastal Management
Author: Darius Bartlett
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1498731554
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Geoinformatics for Marine and Coastal Management provides a timely and valuable assessment of the current state of the art geoinformatics tools and methods for the management of marine systems. This book focuses on the cutting-edge coverage of a wide spectrum of activities and topics such as GIS-based application of drainage basin analysis, contribution of ontology to marine management, geoinformatics in relation to fisheries management, hydrography, indigenous knowledge systems, and marine law enforcement. The authors present a comprehensive overview of the field of Geoinformatic Applications in Marine Management covering key issues and debates with specific case studies illustrating real-world applications of the GIS technology. This "box of tools" serves as a long-term resource for coastal zone managers, professionals, practitioners, and students alike on the management of oceans and the coastal fringe, promoting the approach of allowing sustainable and integrated use of oceans to maximize opportunities while keeping risks and hazards to a minimum.
