  • The Need for Premium Agri-Fisheries for the Disaster-Affected Areas of Leyte, Philippines
    Journal of Developments in Sustainable Agriculture 10: 76-90 ( 2015) The Need for Premium Agri-fisheries for the Disaster-Affected Areas of Leyte, Philippines Dora Fe H. Bernardo1*, Oscar B. Zamora2 and Lucille Elna P. de Guzman2 1 Institute ofBiological Sciences, College ofArts and Sciences, University ofthe Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna 4031 Philippines 2 Crop Science Cluster, College ofAgriculture, University ofthe Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna 4031 Philippines On 8 November 2013, Super Typhoon Yolanda (internationally, “Haiyan”), a category-five typhoon, traversed the central Philippines. It was reportedly the strongest recorded storm ever to hit land, with winds over 300 km h-1 and storm surges over 4 m around coastal towns ofthe central Philippines. Total losses fromthe storm were PHP 571.1 billion (USD 12.9 billion); the estimate for Leyte Province was PHP 9.4 billion. In Leyte, the typhoon almost totally destroyed most crops, fishing boats and gear, aquaculture infrastructure, seaweed farms, mangroves, onshore facilities, and markets. The Leyte Rehabilitation and Recovery Plan was initiated to restore the economic and social conditions ofthe people in Leyte to at least pre-typhoon levels, and to establish greater disaster resiliency. However, to simply re- establish pre-typhoon conditions would be a missed opportunity. The tragedy should be used to foster sustainable and climate-resilient agri-fisheries in the province of Leyte. The typhoon calamity demonstrated that the current practice ofmono-cropping (or monoculture) is unsustainable and not resilient to climate change. Agriculture systems that are small-scale and labor-intensive, with diverse crop strategies that consider on-farm, farm-related, and off-farm food and income generation should be developed.

  • The Court of Justice Dismisses the Action Brought by the Netherlands Against the Ban on Fishing by Vessels Using Electric Pulse Trawls
    Court of Justice of the European Union PRESS RELEASE No 59/21 Luxembourg, 15 April 2021 Judgment in Case C-733/19 Press and Information Netherlands v Council and Parliament The Court of Justice dismisses the action brought by the Netherlands against the ban on fishing by vessels using electric pulse trawls The EU legislature has a wide discretion in this field and is not obliged to base its legislative choice on scientific and technical opinions only In 2019, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union adopted new rules on the conservation of fisheries resources and the protection of marine ecosystems. 1 Accordingly, certain destructive fishing gear or methods which use explosives, poison, stupefying substances, electric current, pneumatic hammers or other percussive instruments, towed devices and grabs for harvesting red coral or other types of coral and certain spear-guns are prohibited. However, the use of electric pulse trawl remains possible during a transitional period (until 30 June 2021) and under certain strict conditions. On 4 October 2019, the Netherlands brought an action before the Court of Justice for the annulment of the provisions of this regulation concerning electric pulse fishing vessels. The Netherlands argued inter alia that the EU legislature had not relied on the best scientific opinions available concerning the comparison of the environmental impacts of electric pulse trawling and traditional beam trawling in the exploitation of North Sea sole. In its judgment delivered today, the Court recalls, first of all, that the EU legislature is not obliged to base its legislative choice as to technical measures on the available scientific and technical opinions only.

  • Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector
    Assessment of Vessel Requirements for the U.S. Offshore Wind Sector Prepared for the Department of Energy as subtopic 5.2 of the U.S. Offshore Wind: Removing Market Barriers Grant Opportunity 24th September 2013 Disclaimer This Report is being disseminated by the Department of Energy. As such, the document was prepared in compliance with Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106-554) and information quality guidelines issued by the Department of Energy. Though this Report does not constitute “influential” information, as that term is defined in DOE’s information quality guidelines or the Office of Management and Budget's Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (Bulletin), the study was reviewed both internally and externally prior to publication. For purposes of external review, the study and this final Report benefited from the advice and comments of offshore wind industry stakeholders. A series of project-specific workshops at which study findings were presented for critical review included qualified representatives from private corporations, national laboratories, and universities. Acknowledgements Preparing a report of this scope represented a year-long effort with the assistance of many people from government, the consulting sector, the offshore wind industry and our own consortium members. We would like to thank our friends and colleagues at Navigant and Garrad Hassan for their collaboration and input into our thinking and modeling. We would especially like to thank the team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) who prepared many of the detailed, technical analyses which underpinned much of our own subsequent modeling.

  • Electric Pulse Fishing
    Jeremy Percy Executive Director Low Impact Fishers of Europe [LIFE] • Traditional Beam trawling • Operation • Impacts • Electric Pulse trawling • Operation • Impacts • Discussion • A petition was presented to Parliament in 1376 calling for the prohibition of a "subtlety contrived instrument called the wondyrchoum". This was an early beam trawl with a wooden beam, and consisted of a net 6 m (18 ft) long and 3 m (10 ft) wide. • “of so small a mesh, no manner of fish, however small, entering within it can pass out and is compelled to remain therein and be taken...by means of which instrument the fishermen aforesaid take so great abundance of small fish aforesaid, that they know not what to do with them, but feed and fatten the pigs with them, to the great damage of the whole commons of the kingdom, and the destruction of the fisheries in like places, for which they pray remedy” • Thus, already back in the Middle Ages, basic arguments about three of the most sensitive current issues surrounding trawling - the effect of trawling on the wider environment, the use of small mesh size, and of industrial fishing for animal feed - were already being raised • Benthic Impacts • Changes in benthic communities • By Catch • Discard rate • Carbon footprint • Fuel use per kg landed fish: 2.13 euro • Fuel cost as percentage of revenues; 52% • Fuel use per day at sea: 7,311 L • Net Profit 2013: beamtrawl -1.4 mln.

    working for the oceans ELECTRIC 'PULSE' FISHING: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED JANUARY 2018 ELECTRIC 'PULSE' FISHING: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED | JANUARY 2018 2 ELECTRIC 'PULSE' FISHING: WHY IT SHOULD BE BANNED Europe needs to decide on a 'Frankenstein' case, a problem we have entirely crea- ted for ourselves: electric 'pulse' fishing'. Electric fishing, which is forbidden in most fishing nations in the World, including China, was also banned in Europe until the European Commission and Council, at the end of 2006, made an ille- gitimate decision to authorize the use of electric current to catch fish and grant unjustified exemptions. This ruling went against scientific advice, only to satisfy the pressure exerted by a private interest group: the Dutch industrial beam trawl fleet. The use of electricity in the wild has serious environmental and socio-eco- nomic consequences: not only is the seabed impacted by huge industrial nets, but all marine life is now electrocuted. Europe needs to fix the problems it has created. The survival of the small- scale fishing sector requires that Europe definitively bans this destructive fishing technique. Electric 'pulse' fishing is a technological trick which halves fuel consumption, so that a fleet of otherwise cash-strapped Undoubtedly, 'regular' beam fishing units can be kept in operation. Under the guise of "ex- trawls are devastating and al- perimental fishing" a whole fleet in the Netherlands has been converted to a fishing method that is banned in Europe (and ternatives must be sought. But elsewhere in the world). Several million euros of public money solutions should not threa- have been allocated to equipping Dutch vessels with electric 'pulse' trawls, with the complicity of the public authorities.
