Le but de cette directive est dassister les administrateurs maritimes ou dautres agences de direction travaillant sur la gestion des eaux de ballast à évaluer et quantifier autant que possible les conséquences économiques potentielles dintroductions involontaires despèces marines.
This manual is the product of countries requests for assistance in strengthening and developing national regulatory frameworks related to marine Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in particular with respect to the transfer of potentially harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens in ships ballast water and sediments. It is directed at national level practitioners as a hands-on guide to the development of national ballast water management strategies. It is intended as a source of basic information and as step-by-step guidance in the development of national ballast water management strategies.
Ce manuel répond à des demandes émanant de pays daide au renforcement et au développement de structures cadres de régulation liée aux Espèces Exotiques Envahissantes (EEE), en particulier en lien avec le transfert dorganismes aquatiques nuisibles et dagents pathogènes par le biais des eaux de ballast et des sédiments des navires. Le manuel est destiné aux spécialistes à léchelon national en tant que guide pratique pour le développement de stratégies nationales de gestion des eaux de ballast.
Este manual es la respuesta a las peticiones de los países para una estrecha colaboración y desarrollo nacional del marco regulatorio relacionado con las Especies Exótica Invasoras (EEIs) en particular en lo que se refiere a la posible transferencia de organismos potencialmente nocivos y patógenos en el agua de lastre y sedimentos de los buques. El manual está dirigido a los profesionales de nivel nacional como una guía práctica para el desarrollo de estrategias nacionales para la gestión del agua de lastre.
This publication presents a legal and institutional gap analysis of the project area, covering five seamount regions, two of which are inside proposed Benthic Protected Areas (BPAs), Atlantis Bank and Coral Seamount, and three outside BPAs. It proposes improvements to the legal and institutional framework. This type of analysis identifies global and regional legal instruments and institutional arrangements which apply to the project area and assesses any legal and governance gaps related to the conservation of biodiversity in the project area.
The individual and cumulative threats to and effects of the full range of human activities on marine ecosystems and biodiversity in general, and seamounts in particular, in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) are still largely unknown. These threats and their effects must be taken into account in order to be able to develop a robust, holistic ecosystem-based management scheme. This paper compiles and examines existing and potential future threats to seamount ecosystems and biodiversity located in ABNJ of the Indian Ocean.
Seamounts are topographic rises of the seabed with a limited extent across the summit. There is evidence that seamounts form hotspots of biological activity in the oceans. Why seamounts host abundant populations of fish and other pelagic and aquatic predators is still uncertain. This publication examines seamounts in general and specifically those in the Southern Indian Ocean, focusing on the biodiversity of these ecosystems and management of deep-sea fisheries on seamounts and surrounding high seas.
Protected areas play a major role in reducing climate changing carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. Fifteen percent of the worlds terrestrial carbon stock - 312 gigatonnes - are stored in protected areas around the world. Protected areas also serve as natural buffers against climate impacts and other disasters, providing space for floodwaters to disperse, stabilizing soil against landslides and blocking storm surges.
Este informe, basado en 21 casos analizados, procedentes de 17 países en cuatro continentes, describe cómo los pastores lograron defender y hacer valer sus derechos sobre la tierra. La pregunta inicial era qué elementos contribuyen a consolidar los derechos de los pastores sobre la tierra y los recursos. El objetivo es hacer llegar los conocimientos generados por los casos analizados a una amplia audiencia, incluidos los pastores y sus propias organizaciones, ONG interesadas, responsables de la formulación de políticas y organismos gubernamentales de todos los niveles.
Le présent rapport, basé sur 21 études de cas provenant de 17 pays de quatre continents, décrit la manière dont les pasteurs sont parvenus à défendre/faire valoir leurs droits fonciers. La question initiale était de savoir quels facteurs contribuent à consolider les droits des pasteurs sur la terre foncière et les ressources. Le but est de rendre les informations, émanant des études de cas, accessibles au grand public, y compris les pasteurs et leurs organisations, les ONG impliquées, les décideurs politiques et les organismes gouvernementaux à tous les niveaux.
