UNEP/MED WG.450/Inf.3 Page 1 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction 1. The document, entitled “A Funding Strategy for the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach in the Mediterranean, with a special emphasis on the implementation needs of the Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme in the Southern Mediterranean” (the Ecosystem Approach Funding Strategy) provides an overview of possible funding opportunities for the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach in the Mediterranean with the focus on the implementation needs of the UN Environment/MAP Barcelona Convention Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme (IMAP1) in the Southern Mediterranean. 2. As such, the Ecosystem Approach Funding Strategy provides an overview on potential funding sources, which may assist Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention to implement the ecosystem approach roadmap (Ecosystem Approach) and specifically the Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme (IMAP) in the EcAp-MEDII project respective beneficiary countries, noting their specific needs. It includes a country based capacity need analyses for Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia, accompanied with a list of possible needs of funding2. 3. In addition, it also aims to assist UN Environment/MAP, to mobilize further resources to support the implementation of Ecosystem Approach and IMAP on regional level. 4. Furthermore, in line with the EcAp-MEDII project document, it also aims to assist, by listing and analysing potential resources, the replication of the EcAp-MEDII project for other sub-regions of the Mediterranean (based on country requests also specifically for the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach in the Balkan countries3 and Turkey). Ecosystem Approach implementation resource needs 5. The focus for the current 2016-2021 Ecosystem Approach cycle is to develop national integrated monitoring programmes in the initial phase of IMAP (2016-2019, ongoing) and start their implementation (2019-2021). 6. The current EcAp-MEDII project aims to support the development of national integrated monitoring programmes, during the initial phase of IMAP. 7. With the aim to support the further implementation of the Ecosystem Approach and follow-up on the achievements of the EcAp-MEDII project, the Ecosystem Approach Funding Strategy aims to analyse potential resources to (i) support the implementation of these national national integrated monitoring programmes (starting as of 2019) developed by the project and (ii) mimic the EcAp-MEDII project’s best practices in other sub-regions, noting that the implementation of IMAP will enable a quantitative, regionally comparable assessment of the marine and coastal environment. 1 Decision IG. 22/7 Integrated Monitoring and Assessment Programme of the Mediterranean Sea and Coast and Related Assessment Criteria 2 The country capacity assessments were undertaken in 2016-2017 in close consultation with the countries. 3 Specifi aim, in line with the EcAp-MED II project document to look at the replication potential for non_EU Member Balkan countries and Turkey. UNEP/MED WG.450/Inf.3 Page 2 8. Data collection in line with IMAP by all riparian countries of the Mediterranean is key for the planned 2023 Quality Status Report of the Mediterranean Sea and Coast (QSR2023). This upcoming 2023 Quality Status Report which is planned to be a quantitative national data based report on the Mediterranean Sea and Coast will enable investors, donors to have a more impact based, targeted approach in their respective investments, which relate to achieving respective SDG14 targets. 9. Importance of the preparation of the 2023 Quality Status Report and as such implementing the national IMAPs are recognized by all riparian countries, but the implementation of these national IMAPs requires subsequent resources, especially in the Southern Mediterranean. 10. Southern Mediterranean countries have specific needs for IMAP implementation, both in relation to capacity building on monitoring, collecting baseline data, purchase of additional necessary equipments and undertake surveying, sampling (with average estimated one-time cost for setting up system 800,000 USD and average surveying cost per implementation cycle of 400,000 USD base don the country capacity assessments undertaken in 2016-17). 11. Sub-regional cooperation, piloting of common indicators, joint monitoring, foreseen under IMAP also require additional resources, which may range between 200,000 USD and 800,000 USD, depending on the nature of the common indicator and the scope of cooperation. 12. Regional cooperation, exchange of best practices, with strengthened science-policy interface, while require as well additional resources (between 50,000-100,000 USD/meeting preparation and organization) also provide cost-efficient w ays of capacity building and strengthening sustainability of ongoing scientific projects, with making knowledge available on cost-efficient technics and latest relevant scientific findings to the policy makers and national monitoring experts. 13. In light with the above, Ecosystem Approach implementation needs, with a focus on IMAP in the Southern Mediterranean are estimated as follows: • Setting up the IMAP compatible monitoring and assessment system for 7 analyzed Southern Mediterranean countries, 7,000 000 USD; • Setting up the IMAP compatible monitoring and assessment system for Balkan countries and Turkey (and as such mimicking EcAp-MEDII project there), based

  • The Influence of Environmental Variables on the Presence of White
    The Influence of Environmental Variables on the Presence of White Sharks, Carcharodon carcharias at Two Popular Cape Town Bathing Beaches: A Generalized Additive Mixed Model Kay Weltz1*, Alison A. Kock1,2, Henning Winker1, Colin Attwood1, Monwabisi Sikweyiya2 1 Marine Research Institute and Zoology Department, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch, Cape Town, South Africa, 2 Shark Spotters, Fish Hoek, Cape Town, South Africa Abstract Shark attacks on humans are high profile events which can significantly influence policies related to the coastal zone. A shark warning system in South Africa, Shark Spotters, recorded 378 white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) sightings at two popular beaches, Fish Hoek and Muizenberg, during 3690 six-hour long spotting shifts, during the months September to May 2006 to 2011. The probabilities of shark sightings were related to environmental variables using Binomial Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs). Sea surface temperature was significant, with the probability of shark sightings increasing rapidly as SST exceeded 14uC and approached a maximum at 18uC, whereafter it remains high. An 8 times (Muizenberg) and 5 times (Fish Hoek) greater likelihood of sighting a shark was predicted at 18uC than at 14uC. Lunar phase was also significant with a prediction of 1.5 times (Muizenberg) and 4 times (Fish Hoek) greater likelihood of a shark sighting at new moon than at full moon. At Fish Hoek, the probability of sighting a shark was 1.6 times higher during the afternoon shift compared to the morning shift, but no diel effect was found at Muizenberg. A significant increase in the number of shark sightings was identified over the last three years, highlighting the need for ongoing research into shark attack mitigation.

Advanced telemetry techniques enable tracking of spatial dynamics and behaviour, providing fundamental information on habitat preferences of threatened species to aid conservation. We tracked movements of the highest pelagic fisheries by-catch species, the blue shark Prionace glauca, in the North-east Atlantic using pop-off satellite-linked archival tags to determine the degree of space use linked to habitat and to examine vertical niche. Overall, blue sharks moved south-west of tagging sites (English Channel; southern Portugal), exhibiting pronounced site fidelity correlated with localized productive frontal areas, with estimated space-use patterns being significantly different from that of random walks.
