Freshwater Fisheries in Central & Eastern Europe: the Challenge Of Freshwater Fisheries in Central & Eastern Europe: IUCN – THE WORLD CONSERVATION UNION Founded in 1948, The World Conservation Union brings together states, government agen- cies, and a diverse range of non-governmental organisations in a unique worldwide part- IUCN nership; over 1000 members in all, spread across some 140 countries. Programme As a union, IUCN seeks to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world Office for to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable. Central The World Conservation Union builds on the strengths of its members, networks and part- Europe ners to enhance their capacity and to support global alliances to safeguard natural resources at local, regional and global levels. EUROPEAN PROGRAMME 2005–2008 The IUCN European Programme mission is to contribute to a sustainable Europe by influ- encing policy development and implementation for biodiversity and landscape conserva- tion, restoration and sustainable use inside and outside Europe. In practical terms, the mission translates into the following objectives: Supporting the Union in Europe and the EU – Improved support framework for the global work of IUCN through the EU and other European partners; improved European member- ship services, including capacity building the Challenge of Sustainability Freshwater Fisheries in Central Understanding the main drivers of biodiversity change – Improved knowledge of biodiver- sity change and effective conservation measures at landscape, ecosystem, habitat and & Eastern Europe: species levels the Challenge of Sustainability Financing nature conservation – Efficient incentive frameworks for biodiversity conserva- tion and sustainable use are available and understood Linking education, science, policy and practice – National and supranational (EU) policies, multilateral agreements, processes and institutions are more supportive of biodiversity conservation and ecologically sustainable use Managing our natural heritage – Ecosystems are managed in a sustainable manner, rec- onciling social, economic and biodiversity objectives The European Programme seeks to make IUCN’s voice heard through providing authoritative information and policy products, whilst applying the expertise in the European constituency of IUCN. These will be the result of integrating the diverse expertise of the Commissions, members and the worldwide IUCN secretariat to address the key drivers of biodiversity loss. The IUCN European Programme provides the platform for bringing the expertise together, coordinating development of the products and obtaining financial resources. The IUCN Programme Office for Central Europe – current fields of activities The IUCN Programme Office in Warsaw has a ten years experience in providing informa- tion on current topics related to biodiversity management. The office’s expertise in compil- ing and disseminating information to key societal actors currently serves four major fields of activities: Ecological Networks – development of the ecological network in Ukraine. Uniting world experience to support a Global ECONET Agriculture – integrating environmental and consumer organisations of the CE region into the discussion of the European agricultural policy reform, and Integrating biodiversity protection concerns into the development of rural areas by linking instruments of the future Natura 2000 sites with Rural Development Plans in the CE region Forestry – raising awareness and building capacity among private forest owners in the CE region, developing nature conservation guidelines for afforestation projects Fishery – promoting sustainable management of freshwater fisheries in 19 countries of Central and Eastern Europe IUCN Regional Office for Europe IUCN Programme Office IUCN Programme Office for the CIS IUCN Programme Office Boulevard Louis Schmidt 64 for Central Europe 17, Marshal Vasilevsky Street for South-Eastern Europe 1040 Brussels ul.

  • Sava River Position Paper Prepared by Euronatur Supported by Croatian Society for Bird and Nature Protection (HDZPP) and Birdlife Slovenia (DOPPS)
    Sava River Position Paper Prepared by EuroNatur Supported by Croatian Society for Bird and Nature Protection (HDZPP) and BirdLife Slovenia (DOPPS) Introduction EuroNatur has been dedicated to nature conservation and the sustainable use of natural resources in the Sava River Basin for the last 25 years. In our role as an official observer of the Sava Commission EuroNatur has been following the processes of the Commission and the ongoing development of the Sava River Basin Management Plan with attention. Hereby we would like to comment on some questions related to further infrastructural development and regulation of the Sava River, which are urgent and alarming from our point of view. Moreover, we are offering recommendations and suggestions regarding these issues. Comments on the focus of the Sava Commission (ISRBC) The International Sava River Basin Commission (ISRBC) has been established for the purpose of realization of the following goals: I. Establishment of an international regime of navigation on the Sava River II. Establishment of sustainable water management III. Undertaking of measures to prevent or limit hazards Although the second goal includes the availability of “water in sufficient quantity and of appropriate quality for the preservation, protection and improvement of aquatic eco-systems (including flora and fauna and eco-systems of natural ponds and wetlands)” no working group was implemented that is adequately dealing with such issues as the monitoring and protection of the Sava River and connected aquatic ecosystems. Most publications that were elaborated by the ISRBC so far miss a clear reference to biodiversity and nature conservation topics, but deal with navigation and water management issues.

  • Impact of Climate Variability and Change on the Kupa River
    Impact of Climate Variability and Change on the Kupa River Dušan Trninić, Tomislava Bošnjak Meteorological and Hydrological Service Zagreb, CROATIA Abstract The latest studies on climate variability and changes in South and East Europe, including Croatia, the continued air temperature increase trend is expected to be accompanied by further decrease in precipitation and, consequently, number of days with snow and snow cover, decrease in runoff, land humidity and availability of water resource. The results of studies on climate variability and changes (WMO, UNEP, 2008) indicate 23-36 % decrease in annual runoff in South and East Europe for time thresholds set at 2020, 2050 and 2070. The Kupa River annual runoff analysis for the locations near Hrvatsko and Kamanje (period: 1957-2008) shows a decreasing trend. An outcome of such, less than optimistic, forecast is a need for demanding water resources management. The observations and forecasts of climate variability and changes should be continued, focusing in particular on the near future. Also, it is necessary to continue with observation of meteorological and hydrological values for the region and take into consideration the anthropological impact on climate variability and changes. Keyword: climate variability and changes, runoff, Kupa River Introduction Significant meteorological, hydrological, morphological, sediment and other changes have recently been observed in the Kupa River catchment area. Some results of the annual precipitation amount and annual runoff analyses are presented in this paper. The increasing presence of scientifically verified climate variability and changes should be highlighted as well as intensified anthropological impact on hydrological regime. The increasing climate variability and changes, and presence of anthropological impacts, complicate the water-related problems at the entire Croatian territory, including the Kupa River catchment area.
