Thomas, Pieter Van den Dries, and Lumin Wang I:\MEPC\75\MEPC 75-INF.23.docx MEPC 75/INF.23 Annex, page 2 Executive Summary Marine litter, defined as 'any persistent, manufactured or processed solid material discarded, disposed of or abandoned in the marine and coastal environment' (Galgani et al. 2013) as a result of human activity, has been recognized as a threat to ocean health since our understanding of the environmental aspects of human actions in the ocean started to expand in the 1970s. Of particular concern is plastic litter, given its inherent strength and durability even under the extreme of marine conditions, compounded by the sheer quantity of plastic that has been manufactured, used and discarded globally since its commercial advent in the 1950s. It is generally assumed that the majority of plastic waste entering the world's oceans comes from land-based sources, yet marine litter resulting from sea-based activities, such as fishing, shipping, aquaculture, ocean dumping and other ocean-based activities, has not been rigorously quantified on any scale, and its contribution to the global burden of plastic debris in the world's oceans is poorly understood. Furthermore, certain forms of sea-based marine litter, such as abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) that is largely comprised of a variety of manufactured, synthetic materials that do not degrade in seawater, may not only be significant sources of marine plastic, but may well have far greater impacts on marine biota and habitats than do other forms of marine litter coming from sea or land. The overall objective of GESAMP Working Group 43 on Sea-based Sources of Marine Litter is to build a broader understanding of sea-based sources of marine litter, in particular from the shipping and fishing sectors, including the relative contribution of different sources, analysis of plastic use and management within both industries, and the range and extent of impacts from all sea-based sources of marine litter. The Working Group has also been mandated to work to build a more comprehensive understanding of specific types of sea-based sources of marine litter, and to guide interventions on these sources based on identified priorities, drawing upon the expertise of FAO, IMO, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and other relevant organizations and experts. This first interim report represents progress made by WG 43 from June – December 2019 on achieving the following Terms of Reference (ToR): ToR 1: Identify sources of marine litter from sea based sources, including but not limited to fishing operations, aquaculture, shipping, dumping of waste and other matter at sea; and other sea-based sources (e.g. recreation); ToR 2: Estimate the relative contribution and impacts of different sea- based sources of marine litter; and ToR 4: Assess data gaps as identified under ToRs 1 to 3, and prioritize for further work. ToR 3, 5, 6, and 7 (see Section 1.2.2 for detail) are not addressed in this Interim Report; these terms will be addressed in future reports. Principal findings to date are that marine litter derived from sea-based activities and industries is of great concern, largely because synthetic materials comprise significant portions and components of debris entering the world's oceans from fishing, shipping, aquaculture, ocean dumping and other sources. Furthermore, certain types of sea-based marine litter, such as abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear, are highly impactful on marine resources, wildlife, and habitats. However, at this time, it is not possible to estimate the total contribution of sea-based activities and industries to the global burden of marine litter because very little quantification of marine litter inputs exists in the scientific and grey literature. The Working Group intends to further explore and refine its findings, with intent to develop a scientifically defensible estimate of the relative contribution of sea-based sources of marine litter, further analyse the quantity and category of plastics produced and used by the fishing and shipping industries, identify ALDFG hotspots and further quantify the environmental and economic impacts of ALDFG, and review and compare options for mitigating the problem of sea-based sources of marine litter.

  • Genoa Reclaims Role As Birthplace of Modern Marine Insurance By
    Genoa reclaims role as birthplace of modern marine insurance By James Brewer The pioneering role of the medieval republic of Genoa in marine insurance was highlighted when underwriters gathered in the city state’s modern incarnation for the 142nd conference of the International Union of Marine Insurance. Genoa’s importance throughout the development of the Dieter Berg, Maria Bianca Farina international insurance market was emphasised by contemporary and IUMI secretary general Lars civic leaders and by insurance and shipping executives present at Lange. the 2016 IUMI conference. IUMI president Dieter Berg said that the influence of Genoa, known as La Superba (the proud city) from the time of its prime sea power hundreds of years ago, spread to regions of southern and eastern Europe including the Black Sea. Genoa’s importance throughout the development of the international insurance market was emphasised by contemporary civic leaders and by insurance and shipping executives present at the 2016 IUMI conference. IUMI president Dieter Berg said that the influence of Genoa, known as La Superba (the proud city) from the time of its prime sea power hundreds of years ago, spread to regions of southern and eastern Europe including the Black Sea. He told guests at a conference welcome evening at the stately Palazzo Ducale that Genoa produced the first documented hull and cargo insurance contracts in 1347, and a few years later, the first reinsurance contract, leading to the development of the first forms of modern insurance practice. “Insurance, my friends from London, took another 140 years before the first contract was issued in London,” said Mr Berg.

  • 2019-2020 Netukulimk Fish Harvest Plan
    ACADIA FIRST NATION 2019/20 NETUKULIMK FISH HARVEST PLAN Netukulimk is a cultural concept that encompasses Mi’kmaq sovereign law ways and guides individual and collective beliefs and behaviours in resource protection, procurement and management to ensure and honour sustainability and prosperity for our present and future generations. The Mi’kmaq relationship with the land, water and all wildlife in Mi’kma’ki laid the foundation for how we interact with and respect all life, as an expression of Mi’kmaq law ways. The principles of netukulimk are embedded in a value system that shaped the interaction between the Mi’kmaq and nature as a set of rules and obligations based on respectful gathering from the land and water in a manner that discouraged resource waste. Thus, through netukulimk, a human and animal relationship formed that allowed the survival of both in a sustainable manner. This Fishing Plan deals with food, social and ceremonial (“FSC”) fishing harvest by members of the Acadia First Nation as an aspect of netukulimk and as an exercise of Mi’kmaq self-government protected by section 35 of the Constitution Act, Canada. Access for the exercise of the FSC rights of the Mi’kmaq are a first priority in the fishery, after the needs of conservation have been met. This Netukulimk Fishing Plan is an evolving document and will be updated or amended by Chief and Council as required. It does not exhaustively define our Aboriginal right to fish or its scope; however, for the 2018/2019 fishing season, it is intended to provide a mechanism for the exercise of those rights within a system of proper management of the fisheries and the conservation and protection of fish.

  • Lobster Review
    Seafood Watch Seafood Report American lobster Homarus americanus (Image © Monterey Bay Aquarium) Northeast Region Final Report February 2, 2006 Matthew Elliott Independent Consultant Monterey Bay Aquarium American Lobster About Seafood Watch® and the Seafood Reports Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch® program evaluates the ecological sustainability of wild-caught and farmed seafood commonly found in the United States marketplace. Seafood Watch® defines sustainable seafood as originating from sources, whether wild-caught or farmed, which can maintain or increase production in the long-term without jeopardizing the structure or function of affected ecosystems. Seafood Watch® makes its science-based recommendations available to the public in the form of regional pocket guides that can be downloaded from the Internet (seafoodwatch.org) or obtained from the Seafood Watch® program by emailing [email protected]. The program’s goals are to raise awareness of important ocean conservation issues and empower seafood consumers and businesses to make choices for healthy oceans. Each sustainability recommendation on the regional pocket guides is supported by a Seafood Report. Each report synthesizes and analyzes the most current ecological, fisheries and ecosystem science on a species, then evaluates this information against the program’s conservation ethic to arrive at a recommendation of “Best Choices,” “Good Alternatives,” or “Avoid.” The detailed evaluation methodology is available upon request. In producing the Seafood Reports, Seafood Watch® seeks out research published in academic, peer-reviewed journals whenever possible. Other sources of information include government technical publications, fishery management plans and supporting documents, and other scientific reviews of ecological sustainability. Seafood Watch® Fisheries Research Analysts also communicate regularly with ecologists, fisheries and aquaculture scientists, and members of industry and conservation organizations when evaluating fisheries and aquaculture practices.

Corrected 08-VIII-2006. Accepted 16-III-2007. Abstract: Commercial bottom trawling is a successful and commonly used method to catch marine shrimps. However, the shrimp fishing gears are poorly selective, and in addition to the target species they catch and retain large quantities of non-target species (bycatch). This study presents data concerning species composition and depth distribution of the crustacean fauna (stomatopods and decapods) associated with Heterocarpus vicarius catches from Pacific Costa Rica.
