For the second time in a decade, we are honoured to host on behalf of IAIA hundreds of the world’s foremost specialists in strategic environmental assessment. As a country which has used this tool for some fi ft een years, we appreciate the opportunity to off er a campus of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague for this meeting and the chance to share experience with colleagues from diff erent countries in Europe and around the globe. We hope that the conference will meet your expectations and that you will gain new ideas, make new friends, and also have time to become enchanted by our city, Prague. Within our power and on behalf of our colleagues from the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague, we promise to do our best to assure the success of this conference. Petr Sklenicka Dean, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Vladimir Zdrazil Secretary, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences SEA Implementation and Practice: Making an Impact? 6 Final Program Welcome Dear Colleagues: On behalf of the programme committee, we are delighted to welcome you to the IAIA special meeting on SEA. Th is is a follow up to our successful meeting of six years ago. In the interim, much has happened in this fast-moving fi eld, more than enough to make it worthwhile to revisit the state of SEA practice internationally and in the European Union in particular. Looking ahead, in June 2012, world leaders will be convening as part of the Rio+20 process to review progress toward sustainable development. SEA systems, currently in place in some 60 countries, off ers an important tool for this purpose that governments have yet to fully exploit. Yet we are also living in a time of economic restraint and fi nancial turmoil and some of you may wonder whether attending an international meeting on SEA is a worthwhile investment in such circumstances. We asked the same question during our initial discussions about orga- nizing a follow-up to the IAIA SEA 05 Prague. Our conclusion was that time is right precisely because the current economic crisis presents an opportunity for SEA practitioners to refl ect on whether we are doing things well, making a diff erence to decision-making and enhancing sustainability of proposed development plans, programmes or policies. Current demands for increased effi ciency and accountability in governance systems give us an opportunity to discuss what improvements are needed in SEA procedures and practices and how best to give them

  • Harmful Environmental Exposures and Vulnerable Populations Environmental Health in Nursing
    Unit II: Harmful Environmental Exposures and Vulnerable Populations Environmental Health in Nursing Unit 1I: Harmful Environmental Exposures and Vulnerable Populations INTRODUCTION Unit 1 highlighted various roles of the nursing profession where knowledge of environmental exposures is central to practice. In Unit 2, the focus is upon population groups who are most vulnerable to harmful environmental exposures. While risks to adverse health outcomes can vary according to geography, housing and location of environmental exposures, some humans are at greater risk due to their biophysical and sociopolitical vulnerability. Unit 2 explains risk and vulnerability across the lifespan with a focus upon specific vulnerabilities and harmful effects at various developmental stages. A second chapter highlights anticipatory guidance for parents and caregivers to reduce environmental exposures for children from infancy to adolescence. Third, Unit 2 considers the impact of social determinants of health, which are commonly referred to as factors where people live, learn, work, play and pray. Social determinants at neighborhood and community levels impact individual level exposures. Finally, Unit 2 includes a chapter about the effects of social determinants on the vulnerability of immigrants and refugees. See Unit 5: Sustainable Communities, for the chapter about Environmental Justice, which addresses the adverse outcomes for those who live in more environmentally hazardous areas.

Almost all crime at sea takes place beyond the horizon line, hidden from view. This vast wilderness is exploited not only for fish, but as a hiding place for criminal activities. Stolen fish are caught illegally, evading a wide range of safeguards to undercut the costs of doing business. Blatant violation of catch limits, gear restrictions and safety precautions are frequently carried out by a small fraction of fishermen, undermining the efforts of responsible “Illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing is a fishing companies.

  • Best Fish for Your Health and the Sea's
    Nova In Vitro Fertilization Best Fish for Your Health and the Sea's By The Green Guide Editors (National Geographic) Fish provide essential nutrients and fatty acids—especially for developing bodies and brains and make a perfect protein-filled, lean meal whether grilled, baked, poached or served as sushi. Yet overfishing, habitat loss and declining water quality have wreaked havoc on many fish populations. Furthermore, many are contaminated with brain-damaging mercury and other toxic chemicals. If the pickings appear slim, check out our "Yes" fish where you'll find many options available. As for our "Sometimes" fish, these may be eaten occasionally, while "No" fish should be avoided entirely. Photograph Courtesy Shutterstock Images Warnings are based on populations of highest concern (children and women who are pregnant, nursing or of childbearing age). To learn which fish from local water bodies are safe to eat, call your state department of health, or see www.epa.gov/waterscience/fish. Besides mercury, toxins can include PCBs, dioxins and pesticides. In compiling this list, the Green Guide referred to resources at the web sites of the Food and Drug Administration, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Environmental Working Group, Environmental Defense Foundation and Oceana among others.

Fish total length, condition and catch per unit 19 effort (CPUE) were derived from the >5500 fish caught. Contrary to expectation, length- 20 frequency was dominated by fish in the upper half of the industrial catch. The discrepancy may 21 be due to biases in the sampling capabilities of vertical (this study) versus benthic (horizontal) 2 22 fishing gear (industry long lines), related to the fact that only large Antarctic toothfish (>100 cm 23 TL) are neutrally buoyant and occur in the water column. Fish length and condition increased 24 from the early 1970’s to the early 1990s and then decreased, related to sea ice cover, with lags 25 of 8 months to 5 years, and may ultimately be related to the fishery (which targets large fish) 26 and changes in the Southern Annular Mode through effects on toothfish’ main prey, Antarctic 27 silverfish Pleuragramma antarcticum.

  • Biodiversity of Chilean Sea Anemones (Cnidaria: Anthozoa): Distribution Patterns and Zoogeographic Implications, Including New Records for the Fjord Region*
    Invest. Mar., Valparaíso, 34(2): 23-35, 2006 Biogeography of Chilean sea anemones 23 Biodiversity of Chilean sea anemones (Cnidaria: Anthozoa): distribution patterns and zoogeographic implications, including new records for the fjord region* Verena Häussermann Fundación Huinay, Departamento de Biología Marina, Universidad Austral de Chile Casilla 567, Valdivia, Chile ABSTRACT. The present paper provides a complete zoogeographical analysis of the sea anemones (Actiniaria and Corallimorpharia) of continental Chile. The species described in the primary literature are listed, including depth and distribution records. Records and the taxonomic status of many eastern South Pacific species are doubtful and need revision and confirmation. Since 1994, we have collected more than 1200 specimens belonging to at least 41 species of Actiniaria and Corallimorpharia. We sampled more than 170 sites along the Chilean coast between Arica (18°30’S, 70°19’W) and the Straits of Magellan (53°36’S, 70°56’W) from the intertidal to 40 m depth. The results of three recent expeditions to the Guaitecas Islands (44°S) and the Central Patagonian Zone (48°-52°S) are included in this study. In the fjord Comau, an ROV was used to detect the bathymetrical distribution of sea anemones down to 255 m. A distribution map of the studied shallow water sea anemones is given. The northern part of the fjord region is inhabited by the most species (27). The results show the continuation of species characteristic for the exposed coast south of 42°S and the joining of typical fjord species at this latitude. This differs from the classical concept of an abrupt change in the faunal composition south of 42°S.

The discrepancy between the reconstructed total catch and the reported landings was fairly steady for the whole time period, with the reconstructed catch being 16% higher than SERNAPESCA reported landings and 24% more than data reported by FAO on behalf of Chile. Reconstructed total landings in Chile show that the main pelagic species (Trachurus murphy, Engraulis ringens, Sardinops sagax and Clupea bentincki), which are mostly used for fishmeal production, account for 82% of total landings.
