This risks the possibility of preemptive conservation policy may give rise to a set of incentives that is resource extraction before the conservation intervention goes distinct from—but possibly just as important as—the incentives into force. We use a high-resolution dataset of satellite-based fish- arising from the policy’s implementation. While this kind of pre- ing activity to show that anticipation of an impending no-take emptive behavior has been well-documented for landowners, gun marine reserve undermines the policy by triggering an unin- owners, and owners of natural resource extraction rights, it has tended race-to-fish.

Power Supply Procurement Plan
POWER SUPPLY PROCUREMENT PLAN ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC. POWER SUPPLY PROCUREMENT PLAN In compliance with the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Department Circular No. DC 2018-02-0003, “Adopting and Prescribing the Policy for the Competitive Selection Process in the Procurement by the Distribution Utilities of Power Supply Agreement for the Captive Market” or the Competitive Selection process (CSP) Policy, the Power Supply Procurement Plan (PSPP) Report is hereby created, pursuant to the Section 4 of the said Circular. The PSPP refers to the DUs’ plan for the acquisition of a variety of demand-side and supply-side resources to cost-effectively meet the electricity needs of its customers. The PSPP is an integral part of the Distribution Utilities’ Distribution Development Plan (DDP) and must be submitted to the Department of Energy with supported Board Resolution and/or notarized Secretary’s Certificate. The Third-Party Bids and Awards Committee (TPBAC), Joint TPBAC or Third Party Auctioneer (TPA) shall submit to the DOE and in the case of Electric Cooperatives (ECs), through the National Electrification Administration (NEA) the following: a. Power Supply Procurement Plan; b. Distribution Impact Study/ Load Flow Analysis conducted that served as the basis of the Terms of Reference; and c. Due diligence report of the existing generation plant All Distribution Utilities’ shall follow and submit the attached report to the Department of Energy for posting on the DOE CSP Portal. For ECs such reports shall be submitted to DOE and NEA. The NEA shall review the submitted report within ten (10) working days upon receipt prior to its submission to DOE for posting at the DOE CSP Portal. -
Marine Protected Areas (Mpas) in Management 1 of Coral Reefs
ISRS BRIEFING PAPER 1 MARINE PROTECTED AREAS (MPAS) IN MANAGEMENT 1 OF CORAL REEFS SYNOPSIS Marine protected areas (MPAs) may stop all extractive uses, protect particular species or locally prohibit specific kinds of fishing. These areas may be established for reasons of conservation, tourism or fisheries management. This briefing paper discusses the potential uses of MPAs, factors that have affected their success and the conditions under which they are likely to be effective. ¾ MPAs are often established as a conservation tool, allowing protection of species sensitive to fishing and thus preserving intact ecosystems, their processes and biodiversity and ultimately their resilience to perturbations. ¾ Increases in charismatic species such as large groupers in MPAs combined with the perception that the reefs there are relatively pristine mean that MPAs can play a significant role in tourism. ¾ By reducing fishing mortality, effective MPAs have positive effects locally on abundances, biomass, sizes and reproductive outputs of many exploitable site- attached reef species. ¾ Because high biomass of focal species is sought but this is quickly depleted and is slow to recover, poaching is a problem in most reef MPAs. ¾ Target-species ‘spillover’ into fishing areas is likely occurring close to the MPA boundaries and benefits will often be related to MPA size. Evidence for MPAs acting as a source of larval export remains weak. ¾ The science of MPAs is at an early stage of its development and MPAs will rarely suffice alone to address the main objectives of fisheries management; concomitant control of effort and other measures are needed to reduce fishery impacts, sustain yields or help stocks to recover. -
Global Patterns in Marine Mammal Distributions
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION I. TAXONOMIC DECISIONS In this work we followed Wilson and Reeder (2005) and Reeves, Stewart, and Clapham’s (2002) taxonomy. In the last 20 years several new species have been described such as Mesoplodon perrini (Dalebout 2002), Orcaella heinsohni (Beasley 2005), and the recognition of several species have been proposed for orcas (Perrin 1982, Pitman et al. 2007), Bryde's whales (Kanda et al. 2007), Blue whales (Garrigue et al. 2003, Ichihara 1996), Tucuxi dolphin (Cunha et al. 2005, Caballero et al. 2008), and other marine mammals. Since we used the conservation status of all species following IUCN (2011), this work is based on species recognized by this IUCN to keep a standardized baseline. II.

The Role of Marine Protected Areas in Sustaining Fisheries
The role of marine protected areas in sustaining fisheries Callum Roberts University of York, UK After World War II there was much optimism that fisheries could feed the World. But at the beginning of the 21st century, we are not so sure. Quota management of fisheries in the European Union has failed to deliver sustainability 100 80 60 40 20 Percentage of Quota Fish Stocks of Quota Percentage 0 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 Year Healthy At risk In danger Data from ICES Cod decline in the Kattegat, North Sea Extinction is the ultimate in unsustainable fishing, whether or not the species of concern are targets of the fishery What is missing from fishery management? • Real provision for habitat protection and recovery • Precautionary targets • Resolute enforcement Objectives of marine reserves Maintaining ecosystem processes and services Conservation Sustaining fisheries Tree cover www.worldwildlife.org/oceans/pdfs/fishery_effects.pdf Spillover Reproduction & Dispersal Colonization & Growth Abundance Diversity What is the evidence that reserves work? Reserves all over the world show dramatic increases in spawning stocks Usually by at least 2-3 times in 5-10 years Long-term studies in New Zealand, Philippines, Florida and many other countries show strong responses to reserve protection Fish in reserves do live longer, grow larger and produce more eggs Egg production from protected fish stocks increases by much more than stock biomass Catches do increase Soufrière Marine Management Area, St. Lucia: Established 1995 35% of reef area closed -
