  • Condominiums and Shared Sovereignty | 1
    Condominiums and Shared Sovereignty | 1 Condominiums And Shared Sovereignty Abstract As the United Kingdom (UK) voted to leave the European Union (EU), the future of Gibraltar, appears to be in peril. Like Northern Ireland, Gibraltar borders with EU territory and strongly relies on its ties with Spain for its economic stability, transports and energy supplies. Although the Gibraltarian government is struggling to preserve both its autonomy with British sovereignty and accession to the European Union, the Spanish government states that only a form of joint- sovereignty would save Gibraltar from the same destiny as the rest of UK in case of complete withdrawal from the EU, without any accession to the European Economic Area (Hard Brexit). The purpose of this paper is to present the concept of Condominium as a federal political system based on joint-sovereignty and, by presenting the existing case of Condominiums (i.e. Andorra). The paper will assess if there are margins for applying a Condominium solution to Gibraltar. Condominiums and Shared Sovereignty | 2 Condominium in History and Political Theory The Latin word condominium comes from the union of the Latin prefix con (from cum, with) and the word dominium (rule). Watts (2008: 11) mentioned condominiums among one of the forms of federal political systems. As the word suggests, it is a form of shared sovereignty involving two or more external parts exercising a joint form of sovereignty over the same area, sometimes in the form of direct control, and sometimes while conceding or maintaining forms of self-government on the subject area, occasionally in a relationship of suzerainty (Shepheard, 1899).

  • African Shads, with Emphasis on the West African Shad Ethmalosa Fimbriata
    American Fisheries Society Symposium 35:27-48, 2003 © 2003 by the American Fisheries Society African Shads, with Emphasis on the West African Shad Ethmalosa fimbriata EMMANUEL CHARLES-DOMINIQUE1 AND JEAN-JACQUES ALBARET Institut de Recherche pour le Deoeioppement, 213 rue Lafayette, 75480, Paris Cedex 10, France Abstract.-Four shad species are found in Africa: twaite shad Alosa fallax and allis shad A. alosa (also known as allice shad), whose populations in North Africa can be regarded as relics; West African shad Ethmalosa [imbriata (also known as bonga), an abundant tropical West African species; and kelee shad Hi/sa kelee, a very widely distributed species present from East Africa to the Western Pacific. Ethmalosa fimbriata has been the most studied species in this area. The concentrations of E. fimbriata are found only in estuarine waters of three types: inland, coastal, and lagoon estuaries. The species is rare in other habitats. Distribution thus appears fragmented, with possible exchanges between adjacent areas. In all populations, juveniles, subadults, and mature adults have different habitat preferences. These groups are distinguished by local people and can be considered as ecophases. The older group has a preference for the marine environment, and the intermediate one is more adapted to estuaries, with a large plasticity within its reproductive features. Information regarding population dynamics is poorly documented, but the populations appear generally resilient except when the estuarine environment deteriorates. West African shad has been exploited for many years and carries great cultural value for the coastal people of West Africa. The catches are marketed cured in the coastal zone, sometimes far from the fishing areas.

  • Fishing, Finning and Tourism: Trends in Pacific Shark Conservation and Management
    J MARINE MARTINUS AND COASTAL The International Journal of LAW PUBLISHERS Marine and Coastal Law 27 (2012) 597-621 brill.nl/cstu Fishing, Finning and Tourism: Trends in Pacific Shark Conservation and Management Erika J.Techera Faculty of Law, The University of Western Australia, Cravirley WA, Australia Absttact Sharks have a key position in the ocean food chain and their removal could have far-reaching implications beyond the species themselves. Yet since the 1980s the harvesting of sharks, pri- marily for their fins, and their extraction as bycatch have resulted in a rapid decline in num- bers. It is against this backdrop that the Pacific is leading the way in legal developments for shark conservation: from the US shark conservation law, and finning bans in Hawai'i, the Gommonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, to the declaration of Palau's shark sanctuary. These national initiatives have been complemented by regional action, includ- ing the adoption of a Regional Plan of Action for sharks by the Pacific nations. This article examines the legal developments and the emerging leadership role the region is taking. The lessons that they offer are explored, as well as some of the remaining challenges. Keywords environmental law; fisheries; Pacific islands; sharks; tourism; marine sanctuaries Introduction The Pacific tegion is one of the most significant fisheries in the world, conttib- uting around 54% of global marine catches.'

  • Iucn Summary Gough Island (United Kingdom) 2
    WORLD HERITAGE NOMINATION - IUCN SUMMARY GOUGH ISLAND (UNITED KINGDOM) Summary prepared by IUCN/WCMC (March 1995) based on the original nomination supplied by the Government of the United Kingdom. This original and all documents in support of this nomination will be available for consultation at the meetings of the Bureau and the Committee. 1. LOCATION Located southeast of Tristan da Cunha Island in the south Atlantic Ocean, midway between Africa and South America. 2. JURIDICAL DATA The island and surrounding territorial waters were designated a wildlife area in 1976 under the Tristan da Cunha Conservation Ordinance. 3. IDENTIFICATION The island of Gough (6500ha) represents the eroded core of a Late Tertiary volcano. The east side of the island is dissected by a series of deep steep-sided valleys, which are separated by narrow serrated ridges. Along the west side of the island, rounded slopes extend from the central plateau to the western sea cliffs. Many offshore stacks and rocks are present, mostly within 100m of the main island. Vegetation comprises tussock grass around the coast and wet heath with moss and feldmark, and bog and swamp communities at higher elevations. Knowledge of the flora is incomplete but consists of some 35 native flowering plant and 28 native fern species. Over 30 of Gough's vascular plant taxa are endemic to the Tristan de Cunha islands. A total of 146 bryophytes have been recorded, eight of which are endemic, together with 20 fungi and 24 lichens. Invertebrate fauna also remains poorly known, but comprises 100 species, eight of which are endemic.

  • Henderson Island Expedition June 2019 Henderson Island Expedition June 2019
    Henderson Island Expedition June 2019 Henderson Island Expedition June 2019 Overview Overarching objectives of the expedition: A) Study the plastic pollution on Henderson Island and raise awareness of the waste in the context of the global problem of ocean plastics; B) Study and raise awareness of the Henderson marine environment – promoting the Pitcairn Island Marine Reserve and the benefits of large, fully protected marine protected areas. A 2015 analysis (published in 2017) found that one of the Pitcairn archipelago’s four islands, Henderson, has >18 tonnes of plastic on its beaches: “the highest density of plastic debris recorded anywhere in the world”. The 38km2 island has >38 million pieces of plastic upon its shores. Conservative estimates suggest that 3,500-13,500 new plastic items wash up on Henderson each day. One of its beaches, the 2 km long East Beach, is polluted by 30 million plastic items. The 2015 work served as a reminder that the long-term protection of large areas of ocean needs to be partnered by science and messaging capable of changing attitudes towards the way we live, consume, and discard on land. The Pitcairn Island Council has sanctioned an expedition to Henderson in June 2019 which provides an opportunity for key Pitcairn and ocean stakeholders to effectively communicate the source, scale, range and impacts of ocean debris on Henderson and the Pacific Ocean through on-site science, art and media. The initiative also provides the team an opportunity to study and showcase the beauty and ambition of the Pitcairn Island Marine Reserve Henderson Island Expedition June 2019 MEXICO Timings PACIFIC OCEAN 1 02/06 Arrive at Tahiti Team briefing Tahiti 2 04/06 PERU Depart Tahiti 07:30 a.m.

  • Reef Building Mediterranean Vermetid Gastropods: Disentangling the Dendropoma Petraeum Species Complex J

TEMPLADO1, A. RICHTER2 and M. CALVO1 1 Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), José Gutiérrez Abascal 2, 28006 Madrid, Spain 2 Oviedo University, Faculty of Biology, Dep. Biology of Organisms and Systems (Zoology), Catedrático Rodrigo Uría s/n, 33071 Oviedo, Spain Corresponding author: [email protected] Handling Editor: Marco Oliverio Received: 21 April 2014; Accepted: 3 July 2015; Published on line: 20 January 2016 Abstract A previous molecular study has revealed that the Mediterranean reef-building vermetid gastropod Dendropoma petraeum comprises a complex of at least four cryptic species with non-overlapping ranges. Once specific genetic differences were de- tected, ‘a posteriori’ searching for phenotypic characters has been undertaken to differentiate cryptic species and to formally describe and name them. The name D. petraeum (Monterosato, 1884) should be restricted to the species of this complex dis- tributed around the central Mediterranean (type locality in Sicily). In the present work this taxon is redescribed under the oldest valid name D. cristatum (Biondi, 1857), and a new species belonging to this complex is described, distributed in the western Mediterranean. These descriptions are based on a comparative study focusing on the protoconch, teleoconch, and external and internal anatomy. Morphologically, the two species can be only distinguished on the basis of non-easily visible anatomical features, and by differences in protoconch size and sculpture.
