  • Australia Catch Reconstruction
    A scientific summary from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Sea Around Us Project Shutterstock Australia Catch Reconstruction Overview Australia has generally robust fisheries management, but it does not account for all the fish and shellfish taken from its waters. A process known as “catch reconstruction” helps to fill these gaps by collecting information on catch from a variety of sources, including academic PACIFIC OCEAN literature, industrial fishing statistics, local expert interviews, and other accounts and records. This fact sheet presents estimates (Kleisner et al., 2015) of total catches from 1950 to 2010, including recreational and INDIAN traditional (i.e., fishing by local indigenous communities) catch, which OCEAN has been neglected in official accounting. Total catches appear relatively sustainable given the size of Australia’s ocean area, and discards have declined. Shutterstock Tuna at the port in Cairns, Australia. Most countries focus their data collection on industrial fishing, in part because small-scale operations can be difficult to track. Australian Catch Have Been Underreported for More Than 60 Years Reported versus reconstructed catch, 1950–2010 500,000 400,000 300,000 Total reconstructed catch: 14,900,000 t 200,000 8,600,000 t 100,000 0 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Reconstructed Catch by Category, in Tonnes, 1950–2010 5.5 million t 4.0 million t 3.1 million t Industrial Discards Artisanal Recreational Traditional 2.2 million t 98,000 t Source: The Sea Around Us project © 2015 The Pew Charitable Trusts Reconstructed Catch by Category, in Thousands of Tonnes, 1950–2010 Type of fishing Catch Data sources Researchers extracted industrial catch from official data on commercial fishing based on gear types commonly used in large-scale fisheries (e.g., trawling, Industrial 5,500 dredging, and large-scale trap and long line).

Do make time for your own prayers. [email protected] Remember that although you may be isolated, no Christian is ever alone. www.gtyarmouthminster.org 3rd Sunday after Trinity In today's Gospel reading we hear about welcoming - that with every little welcoming act it is as if we are welcoming Jesus. We've recently been able to welcome visitors and pray-ers back into the Minster, we've welcomed people from around the world to worship with us online; in 'normal' times, we would be welcoming summer visitors to our services, but, of course, everything is a little bit different this year. This weekend would have been the second Great Yarmouth and Waveney Pride event, a chance to celebrate our community, and for those of us who are Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, etc. to welcome the whole community to a celebration of living as one's authentic self. The Gt Yarmouth LGBTQ+ faith group 'Created' were involved last year, and there is usually a Christian/faith presence at Pride celebrations all around the world. People both inside and outside faith communities might find it surprising that those people of faith are involved in Pride, but it actually makes perfect sense. As the 'Created' group's name implies, these are people being fully who God created them to be; knowing that God loves them for who they are, not in spite of it; and wanting other people to know that they are fully known and loved too.
