INTERVENÇÕES EM LINHAS DE ÁGUA: contribuição para uma solução mais sustentável
Amorim, L.
2005
CCDR-N
N/A
Um curso de água constitui um ecossistema ribeirinho riquíssimo, com capacidade de suporte de populações vegetais, animais e humanos, com dinamismo e complexidade própria. A sobre exploração das suas potencialidades pelo Homem, pela ocupação desordenada do território e pela má gestão dos recursos hídricos, debilitam as funções dos cursos de água, promovendo desequilíbrios no sistema, nomeadamente pela perda de habitats (desequilíbrios ecológicos), aparecimento de infestantes e pragas (desequilíbrios da cadeia trófica a nível físico), alterações de caudais (cheias, assoreamentos, erosão) e dificuldades de drenagem dos terrenos adjacentes à linha de água, com efeitos negativos para o próprio homem.

Integrating Biodiversity into Environmental Management Systems
The Energy & Biodiversity Initiative
Sd
N/A
This document takes as its starting point the assumption that biodiversity conservation is an integral part of sustainable development, and that oil and gas companies should integrate biodiversity considerations into their Environmental Management Systems (EMS) or integrated Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems (HSEMS) at a corporate and/or project level. Although consideration of biodiversity should be an integral part of any EMS, actions and activities to manage and conserve biodiversity should be based on a valid and transparent risk assessment process. Therefore, only in those cases where there are significant biodiversity issues will many of the responses proposed in this document be necessary.

Human Impacts on Mangroves
Ad
Sd
N/A
Although mangroves contribute to the economy in many ways, these benefits are not obvious like the benefits from the same area of a commercial crop such as sugar cane or bananas. Mangroves are essential to maintain coastal fisheries, protect property and coastlines from the effects of cyclones and storms and protect coral reefs from sediments and pollutants. However mangroves are frequently seen as expendable and little care is taken of them. Often mangroves areas are just seen as an area for mosquito breeding and a place to unlawfully dump rubbish. Thankfully, this view is started to change as education improves about the benefits of these wetland areas.

N/A
The objective of this project was to analyse the climatic requirements of at least 25 tree species that are important in, or have potential for use in farm forestry. The first stage of the analysis involved the collation of information on the natural distribution of the species. Geocoded (i.e. latitude, longitude and elevation) data were obtained from databases maintained by the Environmental Resources Information Network (ERIN) and the Australian Tree Seed Centre (ATSC). Approximately 18 000 records were collated for the 27 species or subspecies analysed. The data were mapped for each species and inaccurate records were corrected or deleted.

SW-846 is not intended to be an analytical training manual. Therefore, method procedures are written based on the assumption that they will be performed by analysts who are formally trained in at least the basic principles of chemical analysis and in the use of the subject technology. In addition, SW-846 methods, with the exception of required method use for the analysis of method-defined parameters, are intended to be guidance methods which contain general information on how to perform an analytical procedure or technique which a laboratory can use as a basic starting point for generating its own detailed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), either for its own general use or for a specific project application.

In Vitro Determination of Chlorophyll a and Pheophytin a in Marine and Freshwater Algae by Fluorescence
Arar, E. & Collins, G.
1997
National Exposure Research Laboratory Office of Research and Development
N/A
This method provides a procedure for low level determination of chlorophyll a (chl a) and its magnesiumfree derivative, pheophytin a (pheo a), in marine and freshwater phytoplankton using fluorescence detection.(1,2) Phaeophorbides present in the sample are determined collectively as pheophytin a. For users primarily interested in chl a there is currently available a set of very narrow bandpass excitation and emission filters (Turner Designs, Sunnyvale, CA) that nearly eliminates the spectral interference caused by the presence of pheo a and chlorophyll b.

Indian Ocean Islands, GIWA Regional assessment 45b
The Indian Ocean Islands region comprises the island states of Comoros, Mauritius, Madagascar and Seychelles which are situated in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO). The combined total Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Island States within the region is approximately 4.1 million km2. This provides the approximate limits of the region (between latitudes 5° N and 30° S and extending as far as 70° E). In terms of economic development, Mauritius and Seychelles appear to have met the basic conditions for sustainable human development, but considerable work is required in Madagascar and Comoros.

Image Assessment System (IAS) Geometric Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document
This report deals primarily with the marine and coastal subsystems, including the offshore marine environment, coral reefs, inshore rocky reefs, sandy beaches, estuarine lagoon, San Sebastian Bay and its tidal sand flats and sea grass meadows, and the mangrove swamps, reed swamps and other shoreline habitat types found in the Sanctuary. This is a vast array of habitat types with probably thousands of different species, many of which are poorly known. The relatively low energy sand flats are a dominating feature of the Sanctuary and play host to a wide variety of marine animals, some of commercial value.
Bhutan, Brazil, Cameroon, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nepal, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Peru and the Republic of Kosovo. For four of these countries (Cameroon, Indonesia, Mozambique and Nepal) a total of 10 case studies from the fi eld was collected. Additional information was obtained from literature. The great majority of the case studies, the country studies and literature report improved livelihoods as a consequence of community forestry. For some communities better access to resources such as firewood, water, medicinal plants, etc. for local use is the main benefit.

AICM Relatório Avulso 1: 24 pp.
Cabo Delgado
As cinco espécies de tartarugas marinhas que ocorrem no Oceano Índico, também ocorrem e nidificam em Moçambique, ao longo dos 2,700 km de costa. Estas são legalmente protegidas desde 1965, mas apesar deste longo historial e de uma protecção mais restrita conferida pela legislação actualmente em vigor, todas espécies de tartarugas marinhas estão ameaçadas em Moçambique. Tanto no mar, como em terra durante a nidificação, as tartarugas são mortas e os ovos colectados, especialmente fora das áreas de conservação. Todos os anos, milhares de tartarugas são mortas acidentalmente pela indústria pesqueira, principalmente pela pesca industrial (arrasto, palangre) e de pequena escala (arrasto, emalhe, etc.).

BUSINESS BRIEFING: EXPLORATION & PRODUCTION: THE OIL & GAS REVIEW
N/A
Ecological risk assessment is the evaluation of the likelihood that adverse ecological effects result from exposure to one or more chemical or physical agents. Risk assessments are commonly used to support decisions about remediating spills or other contamination on closed or operating exploration and production (E&P) sites and refinery lands, and they may also be employed to site new infrastructure. In addition, risk assessments are a useful way to organise information and disclose effects to the public

Identifying road mortality threat at multiple spatial scales for semi-aquatic turtles
Beaudry, F. Et al.
2008
BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION
N/A
Prioritizing sites for localized mitigation measures, and forecasting the effect of interventions on an endangered population, requires an understanding of the spatial scales at which threat processes operate. Road mortality is among the greatest threats to semi-terrestrial freshwater turtles due to the group’s life-history traits. Declining throughout much of their range, spotted (Clemmys guttata) and Blanding’s turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) are exposed to high road densities and traffic volumes in the northeastern United States. We examine the distribution of roadkill risk for spotted and Blanding’s turtles at three spatial scales. Tortuosity during upland movements was used to predict road-crossing locations at the singlemovement scale.

N/A
Infrastructure builders are inconvenienced by nature, and nature is inconvenienced by infrastructure and traffic. The COST 341 products offer tools for integration of transportation infrastructure in the environmental context. The presence of nature areas, especially, a nature reserve or protected wildlife site, creates more and more challenges for infrastructure projects. More infrastructure is needed to transport people and goods, which leads to more traffic across Europe. Mountains, valleys, rivers, steppes and coastal plains are criss-crossed by arterial routes.

N/A
Habitat fragmentation, the splitting of natural habitats and ecosystems into smaller and more isolated patches, is recognised globally as one of the biggest threats to the conservation of biological diversity. Habitat fragmentation is mainly the result of different forms of landuse change. The construction and use of transport infrastructure is one of the major agents causing this change as well as creating barriers between habitat fragments.

This document contains references to good practices; it is not a compliance document. This report should be interpreted bearing in mind specific environmental and social policies adopted by the Multilateral Financial Institutions referred to in the report. In case of any inconsistency or conflict between this document and the environmental and social policies adopted by the Multilateral Financial Institutions as amended from time to time, such policies shall prevail. Questions of interpretation shall be addressed solely in respect of those policies.
N/A
A biodiversity baseline study is the work done to collect and interpret information on the biodiversity values occurring at a site, their current condition, and trends before a project commences. The biodiversity baseline study plays important roles in supporting the assessment of impacts and risks of a project, applying the biodiversity mitigation hierarchy, and designing the long-term biodiversity monitoring program (if one is required). Biodiversity risks, management requirements, and information needs will vary according to the project, and therefore the biodiversity baseline study should be proportional and specific to the anticipated risk and significance of impacts from the project.

Despite urbanization and destruction of their habitat, venomous snakes remain plentiful in most parts of Africa. Throughout the continent, snakes are feared and misunderstood even though most are harmless. Venomous snakes bite humans only when they feel threatened, are trodden on or picked up inadvertently. Snakes are creatures that inspire awe, reverence and even worship in some areas, and they are exhibited as performing animals by traditional snake charmers.

The Corporate Ecosystem Services Review
N/A
Ecosystems provide businesses with numerous benefits or “ecosystem services.” Forests supply timber and wood fiber, purify water, regulate climate, and yield genetic resources. River systems provide freshwater, power, and recreation. Coastal wetlands filter waste, mitigate floods, and serve as nurseries for commercial fisheries. However, human activities are rapidly degrading these and other ecosystems. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment— the largest audit ever conducted of the condition and trends in the world’s ecosystems—found that ecosystems have declined more rapidly and extensively over the past 50 years than at any other comparable time in human history.

Over the last several years, the world’s biodiversity crisis, and its implications for human development, has become clear. Solutions must be found for the problems created by humans for other life, for otherwise both humans and wildlife will continue to suffer. The situation is most critical for nations that rely on natural resources for economic development, such as those in Africa. As the World Bank notes, “sub-Saharan Africa depends more on its environmental resource base for its economic and social needs than any other region in the world” (Environment Matters, 1996). African nations simply cannot afford to lose their wildlife and the ecological services they provide, including the animals under water and those associated with water.
