IUCN, Marine and Coastal Areas Programme

An essential element in the development, and monitoring, of resource management plans is the information provided by fisheries data collected across the three districts. The data collection protocol has been adapted since the Programme’s inception in 1994 and the most significant modification took place in January 2002. A more detailed analysis of the fisheries data was required in order to better determine the effect of the management plans and their associated activities.

This Guide provides a short description of each of the activities within the overall Information Management System, and uses of the system for adaptive management within the TCZCDP. The Guide is divided into two parts. The first part of the Guide provides an overview of the different elements within the overall Information Management System. The second part of the Guide provides details on how to use the database – including installing the system, entering data and analysing and generating reports.

L’etude essayerait de commenter les différents critères de la Liste Rouge, par rapport à leur applicabilité pour analyser l’évolution des statuts des espèces de poissons commerciaux, dans les circonstances de l’Afrique de l’Ouest ; mais également d’identifier les principaux critères de la Liste rouge correspondants aux types d’informations générées par les centres océanographique et halieutiques et les programmes de recherche et de suivi des ressources marines.

Intended to promote effective application of the biodiversity Convention in coastal and marine environments. It is based in large part on the recommendation of the "Jakarta Mandate" agreed to by the Parties to the Convention at their Second Conference in Jakarta in November 1995 and which identified the major threats to marine and coastal biodiversity and the principal legal and policy measures needed to address them.

Presents research results on LMEs including identification of the major driving forces causing large-scale changes in biomass yields and health; development of ecosystem component models; and monitoring and assessment strategies and techniques for measuring changing states of LMEs. Covers contributions from 68 marine scientists from 14 countries.

This series presents the results of an investigation by IUCN’s Global Change Programme into the possible implications of predicted global change for natural systems and their management. This publication examines issues specific to marine ecosystems.
