Hábitats Críticos para el Tiburón Martillo. López, 2011 RESUMEN El tiburón martillo (Sphyrna lewini) es una especie cosmopolita que habita en aguas cálidas tropicales y subtropicales. En zonas costeras los juveniles y adultos son capturados por artes de pesca artesanales y camaroneras; mientras que en aguas pelágicas, los adultos son vulnerables a las líneas largas o palangres. En la actualidad S. lewini está siendo protegido en islas oceánicas del Pacifico Este Tropical (PET), como Isla del Coco y las Galápagos, áreas donde los adultos transcurren en las estaciones de limpieza. Sin embargo, aún no han sido identificadas, ni protegidas, áreas utilizadas por los juveniles de esta especie en la zona costera del PET. Debido a lo anterior, este proyecto identificó y evaluó hábitats críticos costeros utilizados por tiburones y rayas, en especial por S. lewini en Golfo Dulce, a fin de recomendar estrategias de manejo para su conservación. En la primera etapa (marzo-mayo 2010) se recolectó Conocimiento Ecológico Tradicional (CET) por medio de 52 encuestas y dos talleres en diferentes comunidades.

  • Cocos Island National Park Costa Rica
    COCOS ISLAND NATIONAL PARK COSTA RICA Cocos Island, isolated 530 km southwest of the coast of Costa Rica, is the only island in the tropical eastern Pacific with a rainforest. It also possessed the richest and most extensive coral reef in the east Pacific. Its productive waters are a distribution centre for marine larvae and hold large aggregations of sharks. Its many interactions with the surrounding seas make it an ideal laboratory for studying biological processes. It is also a magnificent diving site and one of the best places in the world to see large pelagic species such as sharks, rays, tuna and dolphins. COUNTRY Costa Rica NAME Cocos Island National Park NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SITE 1997: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria ix, x. 2002: Marine Zone extended by 100,000 ha. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE [pending] The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription: Justification for Inscription The Committee inscribed Cocos Island National Park under natural criteria (ix) and (x) because of the critical habitats the site provides for marine wildlife including large pelagic species, especially sharks. INTERNATIONAL DESIGNATION 1998: Designated a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention (99,623 ha). IUCN MANAGEMENT CATEGORY II National Park BIOGEOGRAPHICAL PROVINCE Cocos Island (8.43.13) GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION The island is 532 km southwest of Puntarenas on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, and 630 km northeast of the Galapagos Islands. The site covers the whole island and 25 km out to sea all around. Centred on 5°31'08”N by 87° 04'18”W.

Thanks to the unpublished materials that are contained in historic archives, this article suggests studying the cyclones which affected the Mas- carene islands between 1654 and 2007 and which supply us with a catalog of hitherto unpublished events. Inspired by the Simpson-Saffir hurricanes Wind Scale, the research proposes a relative evaluation of the extremes of the region. It underlines the big fluctuations in the last three centuries and partially answers the current debate on the reliability of the data in relation to hurricanes and their link with the contemporary climate. The available archives show that this type of meteorological event has occurred frequently during the relevant historical period and that for that reason, has given rise to original strategies of adaptation on the part of the societies affected.

  • Colonisation of the Mariana Islands: New Evidence and Implications for Human Movements V 479
    1 New evidence and implications ' for human movements in the Western Pacific John L. Craib Archaeologist Introduction Within the last five years, archaeological investigations on Saipan, ?inian and Guam has changed our understanding of the early period of human occupation in the Mariana Islands (Figure l). This work has not only extended the antiquity of human presence in these islands, it has provided a more detailed sample of the cultural assemblage asso- ciated with this early settlement. While increasing our knowledge of the prehistory of the Marianas, these new data, at the same time, offer important implications for human movement in the western Pacific. This paper provides a brief overview of recent fin- dings and discusses possible origins of the founding population in the Marianas and the implications this has for general movement within the western Pacific. Early sites in the Mariana Islands Two sites on Saipan, Chalan Piao and Achugao, are now dated to between 3000- 3600 cal BP; the calibrated age range at Unai Chulu, on Tinian, straddles 3000 BP. The assemblage recovered from these three sites include finely made pottery, much of it red- 478 V Le Pacifique de 5000 A 2000 avant le present /The Pacific from 5000 to 2000 BP I Figure 1 Mariana Islands in the Western Pacific.

  • Land Molluscs from the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia

Land Molluscs from the Northern Mariana Islands, Micronesia Taiji Kurozumi Natural History Museum and Institute, Chiba 955-2 Aoba-cho, Chuo-ku, Chiba 260, Japan Abstract More than twenty-four species of land molluscs, belonging to 13 families and 20 genera were collected from the 9 islands of the northern Mariana Islands, and 22 species are recorded for the first time from the islands. Six introduced species were recognized, including Achatina fulica and its predators, Euglandina rosea and Gonaxis kibweziensis. Almost all of the genera are widely distributed on Micronesian islands. Only one species, Ptychalaea sp., may show dispersal from the northern area to the northern Marianas. Key words: Land molluscs, Ptychalaea, Achatina fulica, northern Mariana Islands. The northern Mariana Islands are located in survey routes (see Asakura et al., 1994). Land the western Pacific between 16°22' and snails were collected from litter layers, tree 20°32 'N.
