Abstract:
Coastlines are particularly susceptible to the necessary trade-offs which occur between different ecosystem services. Should the areas be managed for biodiversity or for people? Where sandy beaches are found there is usually a management decision to be made between managing for recreation or for biodiversity. Many popular tourist beaches (particularly those with a Beach Award) are often groomed with mechanical equipment to remove any stranded seaweed and associated litter which can get entangled in the wrack. This is likely to be having a negative impact on coastal biodiversity, with wide rang

Abstract:
This thesis assessed the current prospect for implementing an ecosystem-based management for fisheries (EBFM) in the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem from national and regional level perspectives. A central result of the study is that the governance concept had been defined and used imprecisely in the literature. The way the different elements constitute EBFM revealed that both Bay of Bengal LME countries and existing regional fisheries organisations are unlikely to satisfy all the elements on the EBM checklist. The study also observes that the Bay of Bengal countries do not share a common

Even as global fisheries are in decline, participation in ecosystem-based marine recreational activities (MRAs), defined here as recreational fishing, whale watching and diving, has increased around the world, adding a new dimension to human use of the marine ecosystem and another good reason to strengthen marine ecosystem management measures worldwide. After compiling available data for maritime countries, a meta-analysis was used to estimate the yearly global benefits of the largest MRAs.

Ecosystem restoration and management seek to repair, improve, or maintain a suite of desired environmental conditions for a specific ecosystem. However, when working on complex ecosystems, where do you start and how can you tell when you are successful? Forecasting ecological effects of restoration scenarios provides a basis for project evaluation and selection of restoration alternatives. Ecological monitoring is essential for assessing ecosystem condition over time.

Abstract:
Östersjön omfattas av en stor mångfald marina ekosystemtjänster som livnär närliggande samhällen. Deras funktion är hotad av en mängd terrestra och akvatiska aktiviteter som har förorenat havet, vilket kräver en långsiktig hållbar förvaltning. Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra med kunskap om och förstå utmaningar och möjligheter i att uppnå en god ekologisk status i Östersjön. Studien baseras på en granskning av förvaltningsmetoder hos länsstyrelser och kommuner i två områden som är skyddade av den regionala överenskommelsen Helsingforskonventionen; Höga Kusten

In recent years, society has begun to take a new view of its relations with the surrounding environment, and in particular has become aware of the need to ensure the sustainability of the oceans and their biodiversity. This concerns have also moved the scientific community to include aspects of environmental science and engineering in their curricula. This thesis links both the causes and effects of maritime transport with the necessary protection of marine resources aiming to justify a specific proposal that would allow the right balance between the needs of maritime transportation and the

Abstract:
La surpêche affecte les structures et dynamiques de nombreux écosystèmes marins, ainsi que les services écosystémiques qui en dépendent. En réponse, scientifiques et gestionnaires plaident pour une gestion écosystémique des pêches, intégrant la complexité des écosystèmes exploités, et fondée sur des objectifs de durabilité écologiques comme économiques. Dans ce cadre, l'objectif de cette thèse est d'élaborer une approche écosystémique de la gestion des pêches, conciliant la préservation de la biodiversité et de la résilience des écosystèmes exploités avec le maintien d'une production et de pro

Abstract:
Les récifs coralliens sont l’écosystème marin le plus complexe, mais aussi le plus menacé par les perturbations croissantes liées aux activités anthropiques. Leur conservation représente un véritable défi. Alors que le maintien des récifs au plus proche de leurs configurations et dynamiques actuelles doit être privilégié, nous devons également nous préparer à une évolution rapide de leur fonctionnement et adapter réseaux et outils de suivis à cette nouvelle situation. Des avancées technologiques récentes ont permis l’émergence d’outils innovants qui pourraient permettre à court terme d’augment
