Oil Spills in Coral Reefs: Planning and Response ConsiderationsNational Oceanic and Atmospheric AdministrationSd




N/A










This guide is intended to serve several functions and several audiences. We hope that resource agency personnel, state and federal agencies, and responders of all types working in or planning for response in coral reef regions will find useful information here. It is not intended to be a specific guide for choosing cleanup methods, as many good versions of these exist already. Rather, we summarize current research on coral reefs from the perspective of those who may need to make decisions about response in these regions and present the information in an accessible format for people with some science or response background

Ocelot Density and Home Range in Belize, Central America: Camera-Trapping and Radio TelemetryDillon, A.2005




N/A










Historically, ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) were hunted in large numbers for their fur, causing declines in population abundance across their range. In recent decades protection measures (e.g. CITES) and decreased public demand for ocelot fur resulted in declines in hunting pressure. Do to their elusive nature there is little known about ocelot population size, structure or general ecology. This lack of information hampers our ability to provide protection for this endangered species.

Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) distribution in AustraliaPESTSMART2012




N/A










The Mozambique tilapia is a species of deep-bodied fish belonging to the family Cichlidae. The ecological impacts of introduced Mozambique tilapia have been studied extensively in many parts of the world. It can out-compete native fish and invertebrates due to its aggressive behaviour and wide ecological tolerances. It is also capable of causing habitat degradation through nest-building activities, and transferring pathogens and parasites to native fish. In Australia, more research is needed to fully understand its economic, social and ecological effects. However, habitat modification, spreading disease and biodiversity reduction are some of the likely impacts.

A recent analysis highlights the potential of natural products as an indispensable source for drug discovery. Natural compounds can be used directly as potential medicines or can provide templates for the design of synthetic and semi-synthetic drugs. Furthermore, because of their ability to interact selectively with biological macromolecules, they also provide a tool to better understand biochemical processes and thus identify new potential targets for the treatment of human diseases.

The occurrence of extreme climate events in Mozambique constitutes a great barrier to swift sustainable economic development due to human and material damages. This includes the loss of crops due to extreme events, which can occur at least once a year. As a result, the population lives in a situation of threat and instability. The Government of Mozambique (GM), Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs), and Humanitarian Agencies (HA) have been working to reduce the impacts of extreme events through the elaboration of various action plans and programmes.

Mortality of Vertebrates and Invertebrates on an Athens County, Ohio, HighwaySeibert, H. Et al.1991




N/A








1990-1991


Although previous road-kill surveys have tallied the number and kinds of vertebrates that were victims of vehicular traffic (mostly birds and mammals), none has recorded invertebrate mortality. A 14-month survey on foot of each side of a 1.6 km (1 mi) stretch of dual lane highway provided 188 vertebrate and 1,162 invertebrate victims. Finding rare and unusual species of invertebrates suggests that this technique be used as a supplementary faunal survey.

Mangrove establishment and rehabilitation projects have had varying levels of success at different locations around the world. Given the money that has been invested in restoring mangrove coverage, it is useful to map, monitor and compare results and experiences in different parts of the globe to compare the success of such projects. This study conducted temporal analyses for 24 mangrove sites from 10 different projects in six different countries (Senegal, the United Arab Emirates, Madagascar, Kenya, Solomon Island and Indonesia) using satellite imagery and GIS technology to map and monitor their status.

Mitigation measures to reduce highway mortality of Turtles and other Herpetofauna at a north Florida LakeAresco, M.2005




N/A








JOURNAL OF WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT


Roads built through or near wetlands cause significant mortality of reptiles and amphibians and create barriers to migration and dispersal. I investigated the number of times turtles and other herpetofauna attempted to cross a 4-lane highway at Lake Jackson, Florida, USA, during a period of severe drought (Feb–Apr 2000). Levels of road mortality were so high that I designed and installed a temporary drift fence system to work with an existing drainage culvert and for the next 2.5 years I evaluated its effectiveness at reducing road mortality and facilitating migration.

Medium Term Expenditure Frameworks: From Concept to PracticeHouerou, P. & Taliercio, R.2002




N/A










The middle to late 1990s saw the proliferation of medium term expenditure frameworks (MTEFs) throughout the developing world. By one count (World Bank, 2001: 6) as many as twenty five countries in Africa, Asia (eastern, central, and southern), Latin America, and Eastern Europe are at various stages in the process of adopting MTEFs, and another ten are seriously considering it.1 This proliferation has occurred over a relatively short time period. Of the twenty-five existing MTEFs, nearly 90% were adopted over the five-year period, 1997-2001. It is not premature to say that MTEFs are a trend in developing country public expenditure management (PEM), and the trend shows no signs of cresting.

There is an international consensus, expressed in the Convention on Biological Diversity, World Summit on Sustainable Development, and Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, that biodiversity at all levels – genetic, species and ecosystem – have a critical role in sustaining livelihoods and human development. They underpin and make possible all forms of economic activity. Damage to components of biodiversity have economic consequences, the impacts of which fall most heavily on the poor. In few contexts is this as clear as in the case of mangrove ecosystems and their dependent human populations.

Mangroves are plants that consist of a variety of growth forms, from trees, palms, shrubs, vines, epiphytes, samphires, grasses and ferns. Mangroves form valuable ecosystems along environments. Typical mangrove habitats are periodically subjected to tidal influences. Mangroves grow in soil that is frequently waterlogged by saline water. The first explorers described them as ‘forests of the sea’ (Mastaller 1997). Mangrove Plants (Flora) refers to many plant growth forms that are associated with mangrove ecosystems including vines, grasses, shrubs, chenopods, sedges, forbs, palms, ferns and parasitic plants (Mastaller 1997).

Intertidal mangrove swamp communities dominate the world’s tropical and subtropical coasts, paralleling the geographical distribution of coral reefs. They survive in substrate salinities ranging from fresh water alongside rivers to hypersaline ponds and mudflats. Mangrove plants are pioneer as well as mature-phase species. They not only help form these environments, they create habitats for a diverse and characteristic community, including numerous mangrove-dependent organisms. The term “mangrove” refers to an ecological rather than a taxonomic assemblage of plants. Worldwide, 34 species or so in nine genera in five families are considered “true mangroves” and another 80 or so species occur as “minor components” and “mangrove associates.”
