Due to the costs associated with printing and mailing, the expense of getting Intercoastto our increasing readership has risen. One purpose of the recent Intercoastsurvey was to determine the willingness of our readers to pay a nominal annual subscription fee to offset these growing costs. The response we received was that, on average, Intercoastreaders would be willing to pay a subscription price of US$ 10 for three annual issues with a featured topic of interest; and periodically a special edition which would be devoted to a single topic, such as last year’s very popular IntercoastSpecial Edition #1 on mangroves. Based upon the survey response, beginning with the January 1999 issue, subscribers to Intercoast will be asked to pay an annual fee of $10. Some respondents raised concerns about charging a subscription price. These included the issue of costly international exchange rates, the desire to use credit cards rather than money orders and, most significantly, the inability of some individuals and organizations to pay a $10 annual fee. In regard to the first two concerns, we will develop systems for payment which minimize extraneous costs and complications. As for the last con- cern, we will provide the opportunity for individuals and organizations from developing countries who wish to continue to receive Intercoastfor free if the subscription rate is a financial hardship. Instructions for submitting payment or requesting a waiver will be published in the Fall edition of Intercoast. We greatly value our audience and would not like to lose even one reader. We will try to accom- modate you and make the transition easy and equitable.

  • Update Report
    UPDATE REPORT DECEMBER, 2014 Mesoamerican Reef Fund www.marfund.org / [email protected] Picture by Ian Drysdale Dear Friends, We have finished one more productive year and we don’t want to let you go to your Holidays without knowing what progress we have had during the year. Please share among your network! Conservation of Marine Resources in Central America Project, Phase I The four protected areas that are part of Phase I of the Project have almost completed their third year of implementation. During this year, the most relevant advances in the areas, among many others were: the joint work that has begun between administrators, NGOs, stakeholders and coastal communities regarding management and of natural resources, community development and control and surveillance. Alternative productive activities have also started to generate income in some communities. Monitoring and environmental education programs have been consolidated. Because Phase I will end in December, 2016, in October, the areas began with the development of a Biennial Work Plan that will not only include field activities, but also closing activities in each protected area. With a biennial plan, the areas will be able to include sustainability plans towards continuity after the Project ends. The work plans are now being reviewed for approval. The mid-term evaluation of Phase I of the Project was held during the months of September, October and November. Key recommendations from this report are being taken into consideration in the biennial work plans, in order to improve and consolidate conservation actions in the areas. Technical and administrative follow up from our member funds and also our staff has been a key ingredient in the development of the field activities.

  • Fronts in the World Ocean's Large Marine Ecosystems. ICES CM 2007
    - 1 - This paper can be freely cited without prior reference to the authors International Council ICES CM 2007/D:21 for the Exploration Theme Session D: Comparative Marine Ecosystem of the Sea (ICES) Structure and Function: Descriptors and Characteristics Fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems Igor M. Belkin and Peter C. Cornillon Abstract. Oceanic fronts shape marine ecosystems; therefore front mapping and characterization is one of the most important aspects of physical oceanography. Here we report on the first effort to map and describe all major fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Apart from a geographical review, these fronts are classified according to their origin and physical mechanisms that maintain them. This first-ever zero-order pattern of the LME fronts is based on a unique global frontal data base assembled at the University of Rhode Island. Thermal fronts were automatically derived from 12 years (1985-1996) of twice-daily satellite 9-km resolution global AVHRR SST fields with the Cayula-Cornillon front detection algorithm. These frontal maps serve as guidance in using hydrographic data to explore subsurface thermohaline fronts, whose surface thermal signatures have been mapped from space. Our most recent study of chlorophyll fronts in the Northwest Atlantic from high-resolution 1-km data (Belkin and O’Reilly, 2007) revealed a close spatial association between chlorophyll fronts and SST fronts, suggesting causative links between these two types of fronts. Keywords: Fronts; Large Marine Ecosystems; World Ocean; sea surface temperature. Igor M.

  • Marine Protected Areas (Mpas) in Management 1 of Coral Reefs
    ISRS BRIEFING PAPER 1 MARINE PROTECTED AREAS (MPAS) IN MANAGEMENT 1 OF CORAL REEFS SYNOPSIS Marine protected areas (MPAs) may stop all extractive uses, protect particular species or locally prohibit specific kinds of fishing. These areas may be established for reasons of conservation, tourism or fisheries management. This briefing paper discusses the potential uses of MPAs, factors that have affected their success and the conditions under which they are likely to be effective. ¾ MPAs are often established as a conservation tool, allowing protection of species sensitive to fishing and thus preserving intact ecosystems, their processes and biodiversity and ultimately their resilience to perturbations. ¾ Increases in charismatic species such as large groupers in MPAs combined with the perception that the reefs there are relatively pristine mean that MPAs can play a significant role in tourism. ¾ By reducing fishing mortality, effective MPAs have positive effects locally on abundances, biomass, sizes and reproductive outputs of many exploitable site- attached reef species. ¾ Because high biomass of focal species is sought but this is quickly depleted and is slow to recover, poaching is a problem in most reef MPAs. ¾ Target-species ‘spillover’ into fishing areas is likely occurring close to the MPA boundaries and benefits will often be related to MPA size. Evidence for MPAs acting as a source of larval export remains weak. ¾ The science of MPAs is at an early stage of its development and MPAs will rarely suffice alone to address the main objectives of fisheries management; concomitant control of effort and other measures are needed to reduce fishery impacts, sustain yields or help stocks to recover.

  • Coral Reefs Are Deteriorating Worldwide at Alarming Rates
    U.S. CORAL REEF TASK FORC FY2000 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND FUTURE ACTIVITIES oral reefs are among the most diverse and biologically complex ecosystems on earth. C These rainforests of the sea provide economic and environmental services to millions of people as areas of natural beauty and recreation, sources of food, jobs, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and shoreline protection. Now under threat from multiple stresses that are overwhelming their natural resilience, coral reefs are deteriorating worldwide at alarming rates. An estimated 25% of the world’s reefs have already been lost and 60% are threatened by bleaching, disease, and a variety of human activities including shoreline development, polluted runoff from agricultural and land-use practices, ship groundings, over-harvesting, destructive fishing, and global climate change, http://coral.aoml.noaa.gov/gcrmn/status_2000.pdf. The trend in coral reef health is downward, and these ancient ecosystems are in peril. In response to this growing global environmental crisis, the Coral Reef Protection Executive Order 13089 was issued on June 11, 1998. The Executive Order established the United States Coral Reef Task Force (CRTF), which includes the major federal agencies responsible for aspects of coral reef conservation, plus our state and territorial partners. Through the policies set forth in the Executive Order, the federal government was directed to strengthen its steward- ship of the nation’s reef eco- systems and coral reefs around the world. 2 The Coral Reef Task Force identified two fundamental themes Working with government and non-government partners, for immediate and sustained national action: the CRTF has made a number of significant advances to implement the National Action Plan and conserve coral reef ecosystems in — Understand coral reef ecosystems and the natural and anthro- pogenic processes that determine their health and viability; the United States and globally.

  • Coral Reef Management in Belize: an Approach Through Integrated Coastal Zone Management
    Ocean & Coastal Management 39 (1998) 229Ð244 Coral reef management in Belize: an approach through Integrated Coastal Zone Management J. Gibson!,*, M. McField", S. Wells# ! GEF/UNDP Coastal Zone Management Project, P.O. Box 1884, Belize City, Belize " Department of Marine Science, University of South Florida, 140 Seventh Ave. South, St Petersburg, FL 33701, USA # WWF International, Ave du Mont Blanc, 1196 Gland, Switzerland Abstract Belize has one of the most extensive reef ecosystems in the Western Hemisphere, comprising one of the largest barrier reefs in the world, three atolls and a complex network of inshore reefs. Until recently, the main impacts were probably from natural events such as hurricanes. However, anthropogenic threats such as sedimentation, agrochemical run-o¤, coastal develop- ment, tourism and overfishing are now of concern. To limit these impacts, Belize is taking the approach of integrated coastal zone management. The programme is building on the existing legislative framework and involves the development of an appropriate institutional structure to co-ordinate management activities in the coastal zone. A Coastal Zone Management Plan is being prepared, which will include many measures that will directly benefit the reefs: a zoning scheme for the coastal zone, incorporating protected areas; legislation and policy guidelines; research and monitoring programmes; education and public awareness campaigns; measures for community participation; and a financial sustainability mechanism. ( 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction The Belize Barrier Reef is renowned as the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. Nearly 260 km long, it runs from the northern border of the country, where it is only about 1 km o¤shore, south to the Sapodilla Cayes which lie some 40 km o¤shore.
