É pelo menos êste o parecer de Savary (2). As cidades de La Rochelle, Nantes e Marselha que, segundo êste autor, mandavam nos tempos atrás, grande quantidade de navios às Ilhas, passaram a enviá-los a outras terras. Desde o restabelecimento da paz entre Por- tugal e a França pelo Tratado de Utrecht (1715) até à data em que escrevia Savary (17171, apenas teriam vindo aos Açores 4 ou 5 em- barcações francesas. A decadência proviria da instalação, em S. Mi- guel, de indústrias de tecidos e chapéus que, utilizando mão de obra francesa, passaram a fazer concorrência, com vantagem de preço, às mercadorias do mesmo género com que a França abastecia os mer- cados açoreanos. Alguma seda francesa que aparecia era importada de Lisboa. Além de outros, não indicados por Savary, há um factor desta decadência que convém mencionar.

  • Ilha Terceira
    Síntese – ilha Terceira No ano 2013, a ilha Terceira ficou marcada pelos avultados estragos resultantes das chuvadas ocorridas no mês de março. Grande parte dos estragos verificados resultaram de situações de ocupação e alteração de leitos e margens, as quais causaram estragos em bens e infraestruturas instalados no leito (ocupações), bem como em outros locais adjacentes (galgamentos e inundação, por alterações da drenagem). Várias bacias hidrográficas na ilha terceira são caracterizadas por vales pouco profundos, pelo que a rede de drenagem natural pode não ser evidente, pelo que pode ser frequentemente ocupada e interrompida perante a ausência de leito definido, sendo que os efeitos apenas se verificam posteriormente em situações de precipitação intensa. São identificadas situações de secções insuficientes de passagens hidráulicas e de encaminhamento de sistemas de drenagem de águas pluviais para locais sem capacidade de receção daqueles caudais. Várias das situações que envolvem empreitadas encontram-se já em curso, em diferentes fases de preparação e/ou execução, com responsabilidades repartidas entre várias entidades.

  • Action Proposal
    ECOLOGICAL SCIENCE AND BIOSPHERE RESERVES TO HELP NATURE CONSERVATION PRACTITIONERS AND SOCIETY TO SET PRIORITIES IN COASTAL & MARINE AREAS: A meeting of UNESCO-MAB, the European MARS Network & the EU NoE MARBEF to strengthen Pan-European cooperation Venice, 12-14 May 2005 Introductory Presentation by Pierre Lasserre Université Pierre & Marie Curie – Paris VI UNESCO-ROSTE, Palazzo Zorzi, Venice, Italy 1 1. BACKGROUND: There is, today, a widespread realisation that coastal and marine environment is strongly influenced by accelerating changes, largely derived from human activity, directly stemming from local pressure or indirectly from climate change. This awareness is fostering plans to conserve and protect marine biodiversity and to establish protected areas integrated into larger land and sea spatial planning. Even though some significant improvements in the quality status of European seas have been achieved, many problems have yet to be fully addressed and major threats still persist. Most societies living along the coastal zone have strong cultural relations with their environments. Each coastal society has its own particular nature, which is a projection of its structures and its values. Thus, understanding of traditional, popular, and specialized knowledge enables us better to understand the links that humans have forged with their environments and the resources that they use. Many human activities have an impact on marine and coastal and marine ecosystems but there is very limited knowledge on their real impact. Classical plans established for marine systems protection, are often oriented towards local measures of biodiversity conservation, in terms of species and habitats, with little tangible effort being directed to large scale inventories and monitoring of marine species and ecosystems.
