This is the world's largest reef system - in fact, the largest thing on Earth made by living organisms, stretching for 2,600km along the coast. Its myriad of islands and tendrils teem with fish, also supporting dugongs, dolphins, turtles and shellfish - and because of all that, a tourist trade worth several billion dollars per year. The flood waters emerging from Brisbane itself are not a major concern, as the reef lies further north.

Jamie Gibbon Connor Hastings Tucker Hirsch Kristen Hislop Eric Stevens The mission of the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management is to produce professionals with unrivaled training in environmental science and management who will devote their unique skills to the diagnosis, assessment, mitigation, prevention, and remedy of the environmental problems of today and the future. A guiding principal of the School is that the analysis of environmental problems requires quantitative training in more than one discipline and an awareness of the physical, biological, social, political, and economic consequences that arise from scientific or technological decisions. The Group Project is required of all students in the Master’s of Environmental Science and Management (MESM) Program. It is a three-quarter activity in which small groups of students conduct focused, interdisciplinary research on the scientific, management, and policy dimensions of a specific environmental issue.

Its objective is to safeguard the marine environment and its resources, encouraging a sustainable market and implementing specific conservation projects. The Friend of the Sea certification program allows for the assessment of fisheries and aquaculture products according to sustainability criteria and requirements. The certification, granted following an audit by independent certification bodies, ensures that a product complies with the sustainability requirements. Requirements are classified as Essential, Important or Recommendations, according to their level of importance. Essential Requirements: The unit of certification shall be 100% compliant with essential requirements to be recommended for certification by the Certification Body (CB). Failure to comply with essential requirements is a major non-conformity. To achieve certification, corrective actions shall be implemented within three months from the date of assessment of non-conformities. Exclusively for the correction of requirements 2.1, 2.2, 3.1.1, 5.1.1b and 5.10.2 due to their more complex nature, six months are allowed.

In many cases, the more a person knows, the more questions arise: Is this wild or farmed? Local or imported? Produced in an environmentally responsible way? High in mercury? Tainted with antibiotics and chemicals? In light of these questions, there is a demand for straightforward guidance on seafood.

  • Assessment of the Friend of the Seafisheries and Aquaculture
    Assessment of the Friend of the Sea Fisheries and Aquaculture Certification Programme June 2009 1. Seafood Certification Schemes – are they adequate markers of sustainability? A variety of seafood certification schemes have developed over the past decade, all claiming that the fish that they certify have been sustainably caught or farmed and that they are the best option for consumers to purchase. Greenpeace is of the opinion that no fully credible certification system for sustainable wild-caught seafood currently exists. So far, the challenges facing our oceans are far from being tackled and the fundamental principles of precaution and ecosystem approach are not yet incorporated into fisheries management. In order to more clearly explain Greenpeace’s position, seafood certification schemes have been assessed systematically with the help of a tool1 created by a specialist in certification (particularly with ethical certification systems such as the Forest Stewardship Council). The tool was developed for Greenpeace to establish how well various certification programmes can help to deliver Greenpeace’s vision for healthy oceans – a network of marine reserves covering 40% of the world’s oceans, with sustainable and fair use of the remaining 60%. The tool also allows detailed comparisons of various certification programmes with each other and with industry best-practice. Although it was developed with fisheries and aquaculture certification in mind, the tool has been developed based on best practice within the broader certification industry. A public version of the tool is available on request from Greenpeace. 2. Greenpeace involvement with FOTS Friend of the Sea (FOTS) was launched in December 2006 by Dr Paolo Bray, also European Director of the Earth Island Institute's Dolphin-Safe Project.
