  • (Swabian Alb) Biosphere Reserve
    A Case in Point eco.mont - Volume 5, Number 1, June 2013 ISSN 2073-106X print version 43 ISSN 2073-1558 online version: http://epub.oeaw.ac.at/eco.mont Schwäbische Alb (Swabian Alb) Biosphere Reserve Rüdiger Jooß Abstract Profile On 22 March 2008, the Schwäbische Alb Biosphere Reserve (BR) was founded and Protected area designated by UNESCO in May 2009. It was the 15th BR in Germany and the first of its kind in the Land of Baden-Württemberg. UNESCO BR Schwäbische Alb After a brief preparatory process of just three years, there are now 29 towns and municipalities, three administrative districts, two government regions, as well as Mountain range the federal republic of Germany (Bundesanstalt für Immobilienaufgaben) as owner of the former army training ground in Münsingen involved in the BR, which covers Low mountain range 850 km2 and has a population of ca. 150 000. Country Germany Location The low mountain range of the Swabian Alb be- longs to one of the largest karst areas in Germany. In the northeast it continues in the Franconian Alb and towards the southwest in the Swiss Jura. In Baden- Württemberg the Swabian Alb is a characteristic major landscape. For around 100 km, a steep escarpment of the Swabian Alb, the so-called Albtrauf, rises 300 – 400 metres above the foothills in the north. The Albtrauf links into the plateau of the Swabian Alb, which pre- sents a highly varied, crested relief in the north, while mild undulations dominate in the southern part. The Swabian Alb forms the European watershed between Rhine and Danube.

  • Strategien Zur Wiedereinbürgerung Des Atlantischen Lachses
    Restocking – Current and future practices Experience in Germany, success and failure Presentation by: Dr. Jörg Schneider, BFS Frankfurt, Germany Contents • The donor strains • Survival rates, growth and densities as indicators • Natural reproduction as evidence for success - suitability of habitat - ability of the source • Return rate as evidence for success • Genetics and quality of stocking material as evidence for success • Known and unknown factors responsible for failure - barriers - mortality during downstream migration - poaching - ship propellers - mortality at sea • Trends and conclusion Criteria for the selection of a donor-strain • Geographic (and genetic) distance to the donor stream • Spawning time of the donor stock • Length of donor river • Timing of return of the donor stock yesterdays environment dictates • Availability of the source tomorrows adaptations (G. de LEANIZ) • Health status and restrictions In 2003/2004 the strategy of introducing mixed stocks in single tributaries was abandoned in favour of using the swedish Ätran strain (Middle Rhine) and french Allier (Upper Rhine) only. Transplanted strains keep their inherited spawning time in the new environment for many generations - spawning time is stock specific. The timing of reproduction ensures optimal timing of hatching and initial feeding for the offspring (Heggberget 1988) and is of selective importance Spawning time of non-native stocks in river Gudenau (Denmark) (G. Holdensgaard, DCV, unpublished data) and spawning time of the extirpated Sieg salmon (hist. records) A common garden experiment - spawning period (lines) and peak-spawning (boxes) of five introduced (= allochthonous) stocks returning to river Gudenau (Denmark) (n= 443) => the Ätran strain demonstrates the closest consistency with the ancient Sieg strain (Middle Rhine).

  • The Sandoz Spill: the Failure of International Law to Protect the Rhine from Pollution
    The Sandoz Spill: The Failure of International Law to Protect the Rhine from Pollution Aaron Schwabach* INTRODUCTION The fire at Sandoz Warehouse 956 near Basel, Switzerland, in No- vember 1986 and the subsequent spill of toxic chemicals into the Rhine River had a disastrous impact on the Rhine's ecology. The accident is widely regarded as Western Europe's worst environmental disaster in decades. 1 Two treaties govern pollution resulting from incidents such as the Sandoz accident: the Convention Concerning the International Commis- sion for the Protection of the Rhine Against Pollution 2 and the Conven- tion for the Protection of the Rhine Against Chemical Pollution. 3 As the names of the treaties show, their purpose is to protect the Rhine from pollution. The Sandoz spill, and similar accidents of lesser magnitude, demonstrate that the Rhine has not been protected. Despite a treaty pro- vision for arbitration and possible treaty violations by Switzerland, none of the downstream states sought any remedy against Switzerland under international law for damages caused by the Sandoz spill. This Com- ment discusses the Sandoz accident and its aftermath, explores the rea- sons for the failure of the Rhine treaty regime, and proposes remedies for the inadequacies of the existing treaties. Part I describes the causes and effects of the fire, including the eco- logical and economic damage resulting from the chemical spill, as well as the reactions of the public and the downstream governments to the spill. Part II discusses the principles of international law applicable to trans- boundary river pollution and describes in detail the treaties governing pollution of the Rhine.
