List and summaries of relevant references from Fleet Study Group archive ...114 Preface The 1990s saw a “call to action” for marine biodiversity conservation. The global Convention on Biodiversity, the European Union’s Habitats Directive and recent developments to the Oslo and Paris Convention have each provided a significant step forward. In each case marine protected areas are identified as having a key role in sustaining marine biodiversity. The Habitats Directive requires the maintenance or restoration of natural habitats and species of European interest at favourable conservation status, with the management of a network of Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) being one of the main vehicles to achieving this. Among the habitats and species specified in the Annexes I and II of the Directive, several are marine features and SACs have already been selected for many of these in the UK. But to manage specific habitats and species effectively there needs to be clear understanding of their distribution, their biology and ecology and their sensitivity to change. From such a foundation, realistic guidance on management and monitoring can be derived and applied. One initiative now underway to help implement the Habitats Directive is the UK Marine SACs LIFE Project, involving a four year partnership (1996-2001) between English Nature, Scottish Natural Heritage, Countryside Council for Wales, Environment and Heritage Service, Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland, Joint Nature Conservation Committee, and Scottish Association of Marine Science. The overall goal of the Project is to establish management schemes on 12 of the candidate marine SAC sites. A key component of the Project is to assess the interactions that can take place between human activities and the Annex I and II interest features on these sites. This understanding will provide for better management of these features by defining those activities that may have a beneficial, neutral or harmful impact and by giving examples of management measures that will prevent or minimise adverse effects. Seven areas where human activity may impact on marine features were identified for study, ranging from specific categories of activity to broad potential impacts. They are: ! port and harbour operations ! recreational user interactions ! collecting bait and shoreline animals ! water quality in lagoons ! water quality in coastal areas ! aggregate extraction ! fisheries. These seven were selected on the grounds that each includes issues that need to be considered by relevant authorities in managing many of the marine SACs. In most cases, the existing knowledge is extensive but widely dispersed and there is therefore a requirement to collate it together. In the case of water quality in lagoons, it is apparent that there have been few site specific studies and therefore little material that can be reviewed. Accordingly, the first step has been to trial an approach on a demonstration site and use this to inform broader guidance for other sites as to the assessment and 7 management of water quality in saline lagoons. Through a review undertaken by the Environment Agency, the site selected for this study was Chesil and the Fleet European marine site. Here there is a perceived water quality issue, a site of considerable nature conservation interest and some data on which to build. The reports from all these studies are the result of specialist input and

De befinner sig mellan poesi och verklighet. De är D osynliga ovan ytan men finns ändå och befolkar havets landskap som är lika verkligt och påtagligt som världen ovan. En av dem suddar ut gränsen mellan djur och växt. En är änglalik men har en djävulsk insida. Många är färgsprakande med utskott som innehåller apte- rade nässelkapslar, vilka de får från de nässeldjur de äter. Pussar du någon av dem så svider det rejält på läpparna.

  • Draft Proposal for an Orkney Scallop Regulating Order
    2014 Draft Proposal for an Orkney Scallop Regulating Order Orkney Sustainable 4 Ferry Terminal Bu Kirkwall Pier, Kirkwall Orkney KW15 1HU orkneysustainablefi [1] Application to Establish a Regulating Order in terms of Sea Fisheries (Shellfish) Act 1967 for Scallop Species in and around Orkney Executive Summary Scallop fishermen in Orkney understand the principles of, and operate to ensure that, the Orkney scallop fishery can be handed as a sustainable fishery for the next generation. A result of their observation and their recent industry initiated research project ‘Spatial Dynamics in the Orkney Dive Fishery’ ( Annex VII) has prompted these fishermen seek a Regulating Order to provide for the maintenance and improvement of the fisheries for King Scallop (Pecten maximus) and Queen Scallop (Pecten opercularis) (known as queenies). As the effort being directed against the Orkney Scallop fishery does not solely arise from the operation of these progressive fishermen, having examined all the possibilities to ensure a sustainable fishery have concluded that the obtaining of a Regulating Order will be the most effective action in obtaining their objective. The King Scallop fishery makes an important contribution to Orkney’s total shellfish and whitefish industry and to the isles’ economy in general. Some shellfish stocks such as Buckies (Buccinum) and Queen Scallops in Orkney waters have been over-fished in the past and as a result their stocks have collapsed which means they can no longer contribute to the local economy nor be used as part of a flexible seasonal fishing plan by fishermen. Without proper evidence it is not possible to say what the state of many stocks are.
