  • Fronts in the World Ocean's Large Marine Ecosystems. ICES CM 2007
    - 1 - This paper can be freely cited without prior reference to the authors International Council ICES CM 2007/D:21 for the Exploration Theme Session D: Comparative Marine Ecosystem of the Sea (ICES) Structure and Function: Descriptors and Characteristics Fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems Igor M. Belkin and Peter C. Cornillon Abstract. Oceanic fronts shape marine ecosystems; therefore front mapping and characterization is one of the most important aspects of physical oceanography. Here we report on the first effort to map and describe all major fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Apart from a geographical review, these fronts are classified according to their origin and physical mechanisms that maintain them. This first-ever zero-order pattern of the LME fronts is based on a unique global frontal data base assembled at the University of Rhode Island. Thermal fronts were automatically derived from 12 years (1985-1996) of twice-daily satellite 9-km resolution global AVHRR SST fields with the Cayula-Cornillon front detection algorithm. These frontal maps serve as guidance in using hydrographic data to explore subsurface thermohaline fronts, whose surface thermal signatures have been mapped from space. Our most recent study of chlorophyll fronts in the Northwest Atlantic from high-resolution 1-km data (Belkin and O’Reilly, 2007) revealed a close spatial association between chlorophyll fronts and SST fronts, suggesting causative links between these two types of fronts.

  • MAC ADVICE Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing Activities
    MAC ADVICE Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities by Ghana’s industrial trawl sector and the European Union seafood market Brussels, 11 January 2021 1. Background The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) has published a report detailing ongoing and systemic illegal practices in Ghana’s bottom trawl industry1. The findings are indicative of a high risk that specific seafood species caught by, or in association with, illegal fishing practices continues to enter the EU market, and that EU consumers are inadvertently supporting illegal practices and severe overfishing in Ghana’s waters. This is having devastating impacts on local fishing communities, and the 2.7 million people in Ghana that rely on marine fisheries for their livelihoods2, as well as a negative impact on the image and reputation of those operators who are deploying good practices. The EU is Ghana’s main market for fisheries exports, accounting for around 85% of the country’s seafood export value in recent years3. In 2018, the EU imported 33,574 tonnes of fisheries products from Ghana, worth €157.3 million4. The vast majority of these imports involved processed and unprocessed tuna products, which are out of the scope of the present advice. 1 EJF (2020).

Flora No. 1 Bulaksumur, Yogyakarta [email protected] Diterima tanggal : 28 November 2017 ; Disetujui tanggal : 20 Maret 2018 ABSTRACT Indonesian government is currently implementing regional development emphasizing on the characteristic and potential strength of each region. This program will be more optimal if conducted based on the introduction of the leading potential along with its use by maintaining the environmental sustainability. This research is aimed to (1) identify the basis/leading and non-basis/non-leading of agricultural sub-sector and its commodities; (2) to classify the pattern of sub-sector growth and agricultural commodities. The data used was time series consisting of secondary data from Anambas Islands Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in accordance with the basic constant price in 2010 and the production value data of agricultural commodity during 2010-2015. The data analysis by Location Quotient (LQ) and Typology Klassen method. The analysis result shows that the sub-sectors of food crops, plantation, and fishery are the basis sub-sector (LQ > 1).

Fifth Infantry Brigade's night assault against Wireless Ridge, Mount Tumbledown and Mount William had been successful. From the captured heights, the Argentineans could be seen retreating into Stanley. To keep the pressure on, Brigadier Wilson ordered the Welsh Guards to capture the last high ground before Stanley, Sapper Hill. The 1st Welsh Guards had taken heavy losses when the landing ships Sir Galahad and Sir Tristram were bombed at Bluff Cove. To replace the losses, A and C Companies of the 40th Royal Marines were attached to the Welsh Guards. Lt. Colonel Rickett's plan of attack called for the troops to be airlifted to the start line which would be secured by 9th Troop of the 40th Marines. The helicopters were to land on the Goose Green - Stanley Track as the surrounding ground was thought to be mined. The helicopters arrived on time and the troops were airborne. M Company of the 5th Batallon de Infanteria Marnina had been positioned on Mount William when the Scots Guards attacked and captured Mount Tumbledown from other elements of their battalion. They were ordered to abandon the hilltop before the Gurhkas assault began.
