This book aims to introduce beach forest species and mangrove associates to researchers and the general public alike, and to describe their traditional and commercial uses based on recent research and older literature.
Ce guide a été rédigé afin d'accompagner les gestionnaires d'Aires Marines Protégées d'Afrique de l'ouest pendant la réalisation de leurs plans de gestion. Il se veut être un document clair, concis et illustré d'exemples de la sous-région. Il s'articule en deux parties distinctes. Une première partie décrit les grandes étapes de la rédaction du document, de la constitution d'une équipe de rédaction à la détermination des méthodes d'évaluation.
This publication highlights the interconnectivity and linkages between coastal ecosystems (mangroves, coral reefs, seagrasses, estuaries, and lagoons) across environmental, economic, social, and management contexts. It presents innovative approaches to better understand, protect and value ecosystems services across linked habitats, informing the trade-off of different land-use management decisions and the effects on healthy systems from drawing on ecosystem services from linked habitats.
Scientists used a network of interdisciplinary studies to investigate the ecological effects of marine managed areas (MMAs) dispersed widely across the tropics. The results indicate that rigorously enforced MMAs can be an effective management tool to reduce overuse of natural resources and conflicts among different uses of the ocean. In addition, MMAs can provide important data for adaptive management of marine resources.
Terrestrische und semi-terrestrische Lebensräume an den Küsten von Nord- und Ostsee stehen im besonderen Maße im Spannungsfeld verschiedenster Nutzungsansprüche. Bemühungen zum Erhalt naturnaher Biotope konkurrieren in diesem Bereich u.a. mit Anforderungen des Hochwasserschutzes, des Tourismus und der Landwirtschaft. Betroffen ist auch eine ganze Reihe von Lebensraumtypen von europäischer Bedeutung.
This book should give a wide-ranging overview of the North Estonian Klint as a nature monument symbolizing Estonian national identity, and not only from a geological-geographical point of view but also as a nature monument adding value to human living environment. Rocks and land, forest and the sea, economy and settlement history, people and tradition -- the Baltic Klint has left its clear-cut traces on all that in North Estonia.
