The SSC's Action Plans, Occasional Papers, newsletter Species and other publications are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation. To date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to SSC Specialist Groups. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and support for species conservation worldwide. The Council of Agriculture (COA), Taiwan has awarded major grants to the SSC's Wildlife Trade Programme and Conservation Communications Programme. This support has enabled SSC to continue its valuable technical advisory service to the Parties to CITES as well as to the larger global conservation community. Among other responsibilities, the COA is in charge of matters concerning the designation and management of nature reserves, conservation of wildlife and their habitats, conservation of natural landscapes, coordination of law enforcement efforts as well as promotion of conservation education, research and international cooperation.

  • Conservation and Population Ecology of Manta Rays in the Maldives
    Conservation and Population Ecology of Manta Rays in the Maldives Guy Mark William Stevens Doctor of Philosophy University of York Environment August 2016 2 Abstract This multi-decade study on an isolated and unfished population of manta rays (Manta alfredi and M. birostris) in the Maldives used individual-based photo-ID records and behavioural observations to investigate the world’s largest known population of M. alfredi and a previously unstudied population of M. birostris. This research advances knowledge of key life history traits, reproductive strategies, population demographics and habitat use of M. alfredi, and elucidates the feeding and mating behaviour of both manta species. M. alfredi reproductive activity was found to vary considerably among years and appeared related to variability in abundance of the manta’s planktonic food, which in turn may be linked to large-scale weather patterns such as the Indian Ocean Dipole and El Niño-Southern Oscillation. Key to helping improve conservation efforts of M. alfredi was my finding that age at maturity for both females and males, estimated at 15 and 11 years respectively, appears up to 7 – 8 years higher respectively than previously reported. As the fecundity of this species, estimated at one pup every 7.3 years, also appeared two to more than three times lower than estimates from studies with more limited data, my work now marks M. alfredi as one of the world’s least fecund vertebrates. With such low fecundity and long maturation, M. alfredi are extremely vulnerable to overfishing and therefore needs complete protection from exploitation across its entire global range.

Pope Buffering inland fisheries against large-scale changes in ecosystem function, climate regimes, and societal valuations of natural resources requires progressive management approaches that incorporate fish and angler dynamics at large spatial and temporal scales. Current paradigms of inland fishery management generally utilize waterbody-specific, fish-centric frameworks designed to regulate fish populations directly, and anglers indirectly, through fish stock enhancement and harvest regulation.

  • US Fish & Wildlife Service Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildli
    To: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge 5396 VT Route 105 Brunswick, VT 05905 Re: Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge Recreational Hunting and Fishing Plan for New Hampshire and Vermont Position: Support Date: July 6, 2021 To Whom It May Concern: My name is Joseph Mullin, and I am the Assistant Manager, Northeastern States for the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF). As an avid sportsman, and a non-resident license holder who enjoys participating in the many outdoor opportunities that New Hampshire and Vermont have to offer, I submit this letter to express our general support while providing additional recommendations on the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge Recreational Hunting and Fishing Plan for New Hampshire and Vermont (Hunting and Fishing Plan). It is my earnest hope that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service takes these recommendations into account when producing a final plan for this National Fish and Wildlife Refuge. Since 1989, CSF has dedicated itself to the mission of working with Congress, governors, and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, angling, recreational shooting and trapping. The unique and collective force of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, the Governors Sportsmen's Caucus, and the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses, working closely with CSF, and with the support of major hunting, recreational fishing and shooting, and trapping organizations, serves as an unprecedented network of pro-sportsmen elected officials that advance the conservation interests of America's hunters and anglers. It is from this voice – with more than three decades of organizational history and a staff with more than a century of combined policy experience on sportsmen’s issues – that we strongly support the proposed Hunting and Fishing Plan and offer additional recommendations.

  • Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing
    Chapter 19 Fish Welfare in Recreational Fishing Keno Ferter, Steven J. Cooke, Odd-Børre Humborstad, Jonatan Nilsson, and Robert Arlinghaus Abstract Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe, and fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increasing attention in some countries, particularly in central and northern Europe and Australia. This chapter offers an introduction to recreational fishing, reviews literature on fish welfare in relation to recreational fishing and provides an overview of potential biological impacts and ways to reduce such impacts. We first focus on the question on how to reduce impacts on the welfare of the fish during recreational fishing. Second, we describe two case studies highlighting that practical implications of the fish welfare discourse may be disjointed from the scientific information base and be rather about fundamental moral questions about the ethical acceptability of the activity per se. We end by providing an outlook on the future of recreational fishing in the light of the current fish welfare discourse. Keywords Best practice guidelines · Catch-and-release · Fish welfare · Function- based approach · Recreational fishing · Sublethal impacts Recreational fishing is a popular activity around the globe (Arlinghaus et al. 2015, 2019). Apart from the recognized biological and socio-economic importance of recreational fishing, fish welfare issues related to the activity have received increas- ing attention in some countries and in the academic literature (Huntingford et al. 2006; Arlinghaus et al. 2007a, b, 2012b; Cooke and Sneddon 2007; Volpato 2009; Arlinghaus and Schwab 2011).
