Abstract:

This thesis set out to address conflicts that arise when nature based tourism is present in coastal settings, by seeking to develop a management technique that reduces the negative impacts of tourism. Mandatory interpretation is a term used to describe scenarios whereby visitors are required to partake in an interpretative experience prior to gaining access to an area. This study considers the role and suitability of mandatory interpretation in reducing negative visitor impacts in coastal protected areas. The research aimed to explore mandatory interpretation as a visitor impact management too

Abstract:

This thesis provides the first direct comparison between – and integration of – community-based and science-based approaches to the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs). MPAs are one potentially effective conservation tool, but are being established very slowly. My research shows that community involvement in placing MPAs can help meet many ecological goals, although biophysical data improve the conservation value of sitings. To assess the need for MPAs in British Columbia (BC), Canada, I mapped stressors resulting from human activities. This produced a powerful rationale for MPA

Abstract:

The management of fisheries has progressed over the past century in an attempt to solve the problem of open access. A range of controls, both economic and non-economic in nature, have been used to ration the use of marine resources. Unfortunately, many controls have failed to correct open access problems. Whilst a recent development in fishery control, protected areas defined as an area with a fishery free of extractive pressure, have been put forward as an arrangement which may, in conjunction with other controls, be used to overcome the over-exploitation of marine resources.

In recent years, topological phases of matter have presented exciting new avenues to achieve scalable quantum computation. In this thesis, we investigate a class of quantum many-body spin models known as symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases for use in quantum information processing and storage. We explore the fault-tolerant properties of SPT phases, and how they can be utilized in the design of a quantum computer. Of central importance in this thesis is the concept of quantum error-correction, which in addition to its importance in fault-tolerant quantum computation, is used to characte

Protected areas are a landuse and sea use of immense importance to the conservation and survival of many species on Earth and the well-being of humans. In 2005, there were more than 113,000 protected areas worldwide and all needed active and effective management if they were to achieve the purposes for which they were reserved. Evaluation is a critical part of determining the effectiveness of management and consequently protected area practitioners need the best systems available to assess the effectiveness of their conservation management.

Industrial scale exploitation of sharks globally to satisfy demands of the international shark fin market have resulted in trade in a few species considered particularly sensitive being restricted or controlled by national legislation or international accord (e.g. CITES).

Understanding the relationship between habitat and fish distribution is a central component in the recent shift towards ecosystem based fisheries management (EBFM). Determining the habitat requirements of commercially and ecologically important species will be essential if spatial management strategies such as marine protected areas (MP As) are to be used successfully to conserve marine resources. A review of demersal fish habitat research highlighted numerous areas lacking in this field of habitat science. These included the propensity for studies to focus on abiotic habitat variables such as

Abstract:

I assessed the effects of understorey cultivation of cardamom (<i>Eletteria cardamomum) </i>on forest structure, tree species composition, soil properties and potential for regeneration in the Knuckles Forest Reserve (KFR) in central Sri Lanka through extensive vegetation and soil sampling. In addition, I examined practical techniques for restoring forests affected by cardamom cultivation through experimental manipulations. Forests with cardamom (cardamom plantations) had higher canopy openness and lower tree, sapling and seedling densities than adjacent forests without cardamom (natural fores

Abstract:

Protected areas (PAs) are considered a key strategy to ensure the in situ persistence of biodiversity and the ecosystem services (ES) that this provides. The coverage of PAs has exponentially expanded in the last 25 years, and they now account for approximately 13% of the Earth's surface. Alongside this expansion, PA research literature has also increased seeking to identify and assess the main factors that influence the effectiveness of PAs in sheltering biodiversity and ES from anthropogenic pressures. Spatial distribution, spatial design, management strategy and threats, have been widely ac

Abstract:

Ecotourism and protected area visitation have been steadily increasing in recent years in Central and South America, inevitably resulting in natural resource impacts. The consequences of such impacts may include natural resource degradation, diminished aesthetic qualities, or decreased functionality of certain facilities like recreation sites and trails. Recreation ecology and visitor impact management expertise and tools are available to help balance the potentially conflicting management goals of protecting natural resources and permitting visitation but such knowledge has not been widely us
