Application of a vessel monitoring system to advance sustainable fisheries management—Benefits received in Taiwan   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Shui-Kai Chang 《Marine Policy》2011

Vessel monitoring systems (VMS) are considered important instruments for fisheries monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) to reverse the current depressed state of the world’s fisheries, and have been mandated worldwide by fishery management agencies. The essential function of the system is to provide near-real time vessel position; the potential applications could, however, be more than that. This study explores the additional benefits, with practical examples, that Taiwan has received from implementing the system: in improving the quantity and quality of logbooks recovered, obtaining access to fishery-independent fishing effort estimates and prompt catch/effort reporting, enabling the possibility of regional management and understanding of both fleet dynamics and vessel behavior, and increasing efficiency of vessel safety protection. For other distant-water fishing nations, Taiwan’s experiences serve to demonstrate how the application of VMS technology can advance sustainable fisheries management.  相似文献   

Impact of mega-scale sand extraction on tidal dynamics in semi-enclosed basins: An idealized model study with application to the Southern North Sea     

Wiebe P. de Boer  Pieter C. Roos  Suzanne J.M.H. Hulscher  Ad Stolk 《Coastal Engineering》2011

Long-term considerations of repeated and increasing sand extraction on the Netherlands Continental Shelf (North Sea) may lead to the creation of a mega-scale extraction trench in front of the Dutch coast (length hundreds of km, width over 10 km, depth several m). We investigate the impact of such a huge topographic intervention on tidal dynamics, which is a key aspect in hydrodynamics, and indirectly also affecting morphodynamics and ecology.  相似文献

浮基多体系统在波浪中展开的数值模拟   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

浮基多体系统在波浪中展开过程的顺序与快慢对系统的运动响应和连接处的力矩有较大影响。介绍了建立在齐次矩阵方法基础上的浮基多体系统时域运动求解,并对一具体浮基系统进行了建模和数值模拟,分析了上部机构以一定规律快速展开和慢速展开时系统的运动响应。结果表明,把齐次矩阵方法引入浮基多体系统的求解领域,其符号推导方便,运动学和动力学方程表达式变得相当简洁,而且编制程序也相对简便快捷。在相同波浪周期的情况下,多体系统的最大横摇角响应与波高正相关;在相同波高情况下,长周期的最大横摇响应要比短周期小;相对于波周期,波高对系统横摇响应的影响要大的多。  相似文献

 本文以云南省丽江市拉市海高原湿地生态系统核心区为研究区域,利用区域生态系统功能监测指标和自然环境及人文活动因素指标,对拉市海高原湿地生态系统的健康状况进行空间综合评估分析。首先,根据当前生态系统的状况和高原湿地生态系统的特征,结合湿地保护区开展的系列生态系统功能监测项目及其指标,并充分考虑评估模型的系统性、科学性和实际操作的可行性,构建了拉市海高原湿地生态系统健康评价的指标和指标体系。然后,采用层次分析方法(AHP),融合自然综合指标、人文因素指标在内的生态系统健康综合评价模型,确定6级的生态系统健康评估标准;最后,根据空间评价模型和数据资源,对各个指标权重进行分析计算,得出拉市海高原湿地生态系统的健康状况的空间分布。研究结果表明,拉市海高原湿地的生态系统健康状况良好。按照划定的6级标准,其中,稳定区和较稳定区面积9 358.93hm²,占研究区域总面积的61%,脆弱区和较脆弱区面积为6 058.46hm²,占总面积的39%。整个研究区域内不存在很稳定区和极稳定区,这为高原湿地生态系统的综合管理及发展规划提供了依据。  相似文献

Ecological and functional roles of mycorrhizas in semi-arid ecosystems of Southeast Spain   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4

Mycorrhizas are worldwide symbiotic associations established between certain soil fungi and most vascular plants and are fundamental in optimizing plant fitness and soil quality. Mycorrhizal symbioses improve the resilience of plant communities against environment stresses, including nutrient deficiency, drought and soil disturbance. Since these stresses are paramount in the degradation of semi-arid ecosystems in the SE Spain, a series of basic, strategic and applied studies have been made to ascertain how the activity and diversity of mycorrhizal fungi affect plant community composition, structure and dynamics in this region. These investigations are reviewed here in terms of: (i) analysing the diversity of mycorrhizal fungi; (ii) assessing the ecological and functional interactions among plant communities and their associated mycorrhizal fungal populations; and (iii) using mycorrhizal inoculation technology for the restoration of degraded semi-arid areas in Southeast Spain. Disturbance of the target semi-arid ecosystems decreases the density and diversity of mycorrhizal fungust populations. Nevertheless, the mycorrhizal propagules do not disappear completely suggesting a certain degree of stress adaptation, and these remaining, resilient ecotypes are being used as plant inoculants. Numerous field experiments, using plant species from the natural succession inoculated with a community of indigenous mycorrhizal fungi, have been carried out in revegetation projects in the semi-arid Iberian Southeast. This management strategy improved both plant development and soil quality, and is a successful biotechnological tool to aid the restoration of self-sustaining ecosystems. However, despite a 20-year history of this work, we lack a comprehensive view of the mycorrhizal potential to improve the composition, diversity, structure and functionality of drought-adapted plant communities in the Region.  相似文献

应用喀纳斯自然保护区1980,2005年两个时期的LandsatTM影像解译数据,采用Costanza生态系统服务价值计算公式,参照中国单位面积生态服务价值系统,确定了喀纳斯自然保护区生态系统单位面积生态服务价值系数,分析了保护区土地利用变化对其生态系统服务价值的影响.结果表明,保护区林地面积在减少,草地,水域、建设用地面积有所增加;研究期内生态系统服务价值从26.79亿元减少到26.02亿元,天然有林地和高覆盖度草地的减少是生态服务价值降低的主要原因;保持土壤、维持生物多样性、气候调节等各单项功能服务价值均呈现不同程度的减少,说明保护区生态环境不断趋向恶化.  相似文献
