Obstacles to Environmental Progress
Why, when so many people understand the severity of environmental problems, is progress so slow and sustainability such a distant goal? What gets in the way? Perhaps you have immediately thought of several barriers. In Obstacles to Environmental Progress, Peter Schulze identifies 18 practical obstacles that routinely and predictably hinder U.S. progress on existing environmental problems. The obstacles apply to problems small and large and, in most cases, regardless of whether an issue is controversial. Though the book focuses on the U.S., most of the obstacles pertain elsewhere as well. The obstacles fall into three categories: scientific challenges to anticipating and detecting problems; p...
Successes at the Interface of Ocean, Climate and Humans
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
Framework Adjustment 3 to the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan (FMP)
"This document contains the New England Fishery Management Council’s recommendations for Framework Adjustment 3 to the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan (FMP), consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) and the Herring FMP approved by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on October 27, 1999. Framework 3 proposes to establish a process for setting and modifying catch caps for river herring and shad (RH/S) in the Atlantic herring fishery. Framework 3 also proposes specific river herring and shad catch caps for the 2014 and 2015 fishing years. This document contains information and supporting analyses required under other applicable law, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), and Executive Order 12866. The actions proposed in this framework adjustment also relate to management objectives associated with minimizing bycatch in the Atlantic herring fishery, the primary focus of Amendment 5 to the Herring FMP"--Executive Summary (page i).
Atlantic Herring Fishery Specifications for the 2016-2018 Fishing Years (January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2018)
"This document contains the New England Fishery Management Council's (Council's) recommendations for the Atlantic herring fishery specifications for the 2016-2018 fishing years, consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSFCMA) and the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan (FMP), approved by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) on October 27, 1999. This document also contains information and supporting analyses required under other applicable law, including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)"--Executive summary.
Atlantic Herring Operational Assessment Report 2015
"The Atlantic herring stock was last assessed as a benchmark during the 54th Stock Assessment Workshop using data through 2011 (NEFSC 2012). Data were updated through 2014 for this operational assessment. The methods of data processing and the stock assessment model configuration were the same as those accepted at the previous benchmark (NEFSC 2012). Some assessment model sensitivities were also conducted to address model diagnostic problems"--Introduction. [doi:10.7289/V5CN71WS (http://dx.doi.org/10.7289/V5CN71WS)]
Stock Identification Methods
Stock Identification Methods, 2e, continues to provide a comprehensive review of the various disciplines used to study the population structure of fishery resources. It represents the worldwide experience and perspectives of experts on each method, assembled through a working group of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. The book is organized to foster interdisciplinary analyses and conclusions about stock structure, a crucial topic for fishery science and management. Technological advances have promoted the development of stock identification methods in many directions, resulting in a confusing variety of approaches. Based on central tenets of population biology and man...
An Updated Spatial Pattern Analysis for the Gulf of Maine-Georges Bank Atlantic Herring Complex During 1963-2009
"Spatial pattern analysis of survey catches have been shown to reflect changes in Gulf of Maine-Georges Bank Atlantic herring abundance, but no such analysis has been conducted using data from the last 11 years (1999-2009). I conducted a spatial pattern analysis by updating previous analyses looking for temporal trends in the spatial distributions of Atlantic herring spring and fall survey catches during 1963-2009. The distribution of herring catch locations expanded to the southwest during spring bottom trawl surveys and generally occurred over a broader area during fall bottom trawl surveys as abundance increased during the mid- to late 1980s. Similarly, herring capture locations during spring and fall bottom trawl surveys became more evenly distributed among latitudes and more closely aggregated as abundance increased. These patterns that are indicative of relatively high abundance have persisted through 2009"--Abstract.
