Recommended Best Practices for Regional Fisheries Management Organizations: Report of an independent panel to develop a model for improved governance by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations.
(Chatham House, London, UK, 2007)One of the great innovations of the UN Fish Stocks Agreement of 1995 was to place regional fi sheries management organizations (RFMOs) at the heart of international fi sheries management. It was hoped that a multilateral ... -
Maori methods and indicators for marine protection : Summary of research findings.
(Ngāti Kere, Ngāti Kōnohi, Ministry for the Environment, Department. of Conservation, Wellington, New Zealand, 2007)As stated in the original research proposal for the Maori Methods and Indicators for Marine Protection project that was submitted to the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology, marine reserves meet many conservation ... -
Marine Mammal Necropsy: an introductory guide for stranding responders and field biologists.
(Woods HOle Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA, 2007)Necropsies are performed to get further insight into the cause of death: in the case of marine mammals this may establish the cause for stranding or other mortalities. The necropsy generates a series of gross observations ... -
Intercomparison of biogeochemical sensors at ocean observatories.
(National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK, 2008)This report gives an overview of the current state of the art in biogeochemical sensing, reviews user experience of systems, summarises efforts to provide quality assessment and control, and makes recommendation ... -
CMAR code of practice for tagging marine animals. Version 1.
(CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, Hobart, Australia, 2009)The Code of Practice (COP) for tagging marine animals consists of a series of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) detailing the various steps involved when tagging marine animals. Each SOP has an associated date indicating ... -
The Dissolved Oxygen Handbook: a practical guide to dissolved oxygen measurements.
(YSI Incorporated, 2009)This booklet describes in detail the different types of dissolved oxygen sensing technologies available. It also covers, in general terms, recommended calibration methods, regular maintenance procedures that can be ... -
Monitoring the abundance of plastic debris in the marine environment.
(2009)Plastic debris has significant environmental and economic impacts in marine systems. Monitoring is crucial to assess the efficacy of measures implemented to reduce the abundance of plastic debris, but it is complicated ... -
Marine Debris Survey Information Guide.
(Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board, Eastwood, S Australia, 2009)Marine debris surveys are part of the Gulf St. Vincent Marine Threat Abatement project, initiated by the Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board (AMLRNRMB) and supported through the Australian ... -
Marine Scotland - Science Laboratory Manual, Standard Operating Procedure: Salinities. Version 1, 16 Feb 2009.
(Marine Scotland - Science, Aberdeen, Scotland, 2009)This Procedure document details all procedures regarding salinities within Marine Scotland – Science: Water samples received are analysed by operation of a Guildline Portasal Salinometer Model 8410A. The salinometer ... -
Technical Note: Animal-borne CTD-Satellite Relay Data Loggers for real-time oceanographic data collection.
(2009)The increasing need for continuous monitoring of the world oceans has stimulated the development of a range of autonomous sampling platforms. One novel addition to these approaches is a small, relatively inexpensive ... -
Best Practices for Marine Mammal Response, Rehabilitation and Release: standards for release.
(NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program, Silver Spring, MD, 2009)Rescue, rehabilitation, and release of wild marine mammals is allowed for authorized individuals under listed conditions by the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) [16 U.S.C. 1379 § 109(h)]. Section 402(a) of Title IV of ... -
Determination of ultra-low oxygen concentrations in oxygen minimum zones by the STOX sensor.
(2009)The methods used until now have not been able to reliably resolve O2 concentrations in oceanic oxygen minimum zones below 1–2 µmol L−1. We present a new amperometric sensor for the determination of ultra‐low O2 concentrations ... -
Management and research applications of real-time and archival passive acoustic sensors over varying temporal and spatial scales.
(2009)Defining the appropriate scale over which to conduct a study in the marine environment is critical to achieving appropriate scientific, management, mitigation and conservation objectives. This paper focuses on applications ... -
Simulation and assimilation of global ocean pCO2 and air–sea CO2 fluxes using ship observations of surface ocean pCO2 in a simplified biogeochemical offline model.
