  • Annotated Bibliography of Fishing Impacts on Habitat - September 2003 Update
    ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FISHING IMPACTS ON HABITAT - SEPTEMBER 2003 UPDATE Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission SEPTEMBER 2003 GSMFC No.: 115 Annotated Bibliography of Fishing Impacts on Habitat - September 2003 Update Edited by Jeffrey K. Rester Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission September 2003 Introduction This is the third in a series of updates to the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission’s Annotated Bibliography of Fishing Impacts on Habitat originally produced in February 2000. The Commission’s Habitat Subcommittee felt that the gathering of pertinent literature should continue. The third update contains 52 new articles since the publication of the last update. The update uses the same criteria that the original bibliography and first and second updates used to compile articles. It attempts to compile a listing of papers and reports that address the many effects and impacts that fishing can have on habitat and the marine environment. The bibliography is not limited to scientific literature only. It includes technical reports, state and federal agency reports, college theses, conference and meeting proceedings, popular articles, and other forms of nonscientific literature. This was done in an attempt to gather as much information on fishing impacts as possible. Researchers will be able to decide for themselves whether they feel the included information is valuable. Fishing, both recreational and commercial, can have many varying impacts on habitat and the marine environment. Whether a fisher prop scars seagrass, drops an anchor on a coral reef, or drags a trawl across the bottom, each act can alter habitat and affect fish populations.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information.

  • A Condition Assessment of Poole Harbour European Marine Site
    A condition assessment of Poole Harbour European Marine Site John Underhill-Day Report commissioned by Dr. Sue Burton, Natural England Team, Dorset Report Date 30 Sept 2006 Final Recommended citation: Underhill-Day, J. C. 2006. A condition assessment of Poole Harbour European Marine Site. Unpublished report, Footprint Ecology/Natural England. Dorset. England. © Natural England 2 Summary Natural England has a statutory duty to advise other relevant authorities on the conservation objectives for the European Marine Site in Poole Harbour. In order to facilitate this, Natural England wish to test the assumption that existing features are in favourable condition and quantify targets for 2000-2006. This report assesses the condition of the bird interest features of the Harbour, identifies damaging operations or activities, and recommends monitoring and management actions together with revised targets for the next reporting period. Much of the information from which the conclusions in this report are derived have been based on research work carried out in Poole Harbour from studies commissioned and financed by English Nature. Other major contributors have been the Environment Agency and the Harbour Commissioners. It is recommended that these and other organisations put in place amore integrated monitoring scheme for the Harbour. This could be initiated by a symposium to identify the issues and main stakeholders. Populations of those bird species for which the harbour was designated as an SPA are mostly stable or increasing. Breeding numbers of common terns and Mediterranean gulls have been rising and the wintering populations of black-tailed godwits and avocets have also been increasing. Shelduck numbers have declined but at a lower rate than those nationally.
