The quantities caught, the effort spent in the catching, and the geographic distribution of catches are necessary for diagnosing the condition of any fish population. Representing as they do the experience of thousands of people, these statistics provide the best yardstick yet devised for currently measuring abundance, for indicating trouble spots, and for evaluating the effects of remedial measures. Furthermore they can be enor mously useful in geographic studies of species, particularly when supplemented by surveys of research vessels. However, catch statistics are worthy only to the extent that they are reasonably complete and continuous in space and time. -

Highest Risk Abandoned, Lost and Discarded Fishing Gear
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Highest risk abandoned, lost and discarded fshing gear Eric Gilman1*, Michael Musyl2, Petri Suuronen3, Milani Chaloupka4, Saeid Gorgin5, Jono Wilson1,6 & Brandon Kuczenski6 Derelict abandoned, lost and discarded fshing gear have profound adverse efects. We assessed gear-specifc relative risks from derelict gear to rank-order fshing methods based on: derelict gear production rates, gear quantity indicators of catch weight and fshing grounds area, and adverse consequences from derelict gear. The latter accounted for ghost fshing, transfer of microplastics and toxins into food webs, spread of invasive alien species and harmful microalgae, habitat degradation, obstruction of navigation and in-use fshing gear, and coastal socioeconomic impacts. Globally, mitigating highest risk derelict gear from gillnet, tuna purse seine with fsh aggregating devices, and bottom trawl fsheries achieves maximum conservation gains. Locally, adopting controls following a sequential mitigation hierarchy and implementing efective monitoring, surveillance and enforcement systems are needed to curb derelict gear from these most problematic fsheries. Primary and synthesis research are priorities to improve future risk assessments, produce the frst robust estimate of global derelict gear quantity, and assess the performance of initiatives to manage derelict gear. Findings from this frst quantitative estimate of gear-specifc relative risks from derelict gear guide the allocation of resources to achieve the largest improvements from mitigating adverse efects of derelict gear from the world’s 4.6 million fshing vessels. Over the past decade there has been increasing international recognition of the need for multilateral eforts to address transboundary adverse ecological and socioeconomic efects of abandoned, lost and discarded fshing gear (ALDFG), also called derelict fshing gear 1, 2. -

ADDRESSING FORECLOSED and ABANDONED PROPERTIES | Pg
ADDRESSING FORECLOSED AND ABANDONED PROPERTIES | pg. 1 | www.courtinnovation.org IIIIIIIIIIII II ADDRESSING FORECLOSED AND ABANDONED PROPERTIES Nearly 3.2 million foreclosures occurred in the U.S. in 2008, an all-time high. In many jurisdictions, the number and location of vacant properties changed so rap- idly that officials had trouble tracking them, let alone formulating an effective response. The city of Cleveland, for example, estimated in early 2009 that at least 10,000 (or one in 13) of its houses were vacant while the county treasurer estimat- ed that the number was 15,000—50 percent higher. This guide offers ideas While much of the public’s attention has been focused on the economic repercus- sions of the nation’s housing crisis, the repercussions for law enforcement have to help policymakers, law been just as significant: vacant properties generate a host of interrelated problems, from unsafe structures and higher rates of crime to homelessness and strains on enforcement agencies, and municipal services. community partners Jurisdictions across the U.S. have responded differently, tackling the problem from address the challenges various angles. Many of the strategies deployed are the result of collaborations across government agencies and among public and private sectors. Police, city presented by foreclosed attorneys, district attorneys, U.S. attorneys, housing and building departments, health departments, community development organizations, landlords, private and abandoned properties developers, banks, mortgage lenders, legislators, and regulators are finding ways to work together to slow or halt foreclosures, stem the decline of neighborhoods, improve quality of life, and plan for new growth.
