Ecologically Sustainable Exploitation Rates—A multispecies approach for fisheries management

Ecologically sustainable tourism management

One of the primary challenges facing ecotourism management is to establish a profitable and ecologically sustainable industry, while simultaneously achieving a satisfying experience for visitors and raising standards of living in the host community. This paper analyses the management practices and challenges faced by two ecotourism attractions on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, namely ...

Sustainable Livelihoods and an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management

Indicators of Biodiversity for Ecologically Sustainable Forest Management

The conservation of biological diversity has become one of the important goals of managing forests in an ecologically sustainable way. Ecologists and forest resource managers need measures to judge the success or failure of management regimes designed to sustain biological diversity. The relationships between potential indicator species and total biodiversity are not well established. Carefully...

Sustainable fisheries

metals such as copper. Once the manganese protein has folded, the metal-binding sites are inaccessible to other metals, and the protein can be safely exposed to the periplasmic envi­ ronment. In other words, the metal that binds to the protein is selected by the compartment in which the protein folds. Tottey and colleagues suggest that cytoplas­ mic metal insertion might be crucial not only for...

Towards Sustainable Multispecies Fisheries in the Florida, Usa, Coral Reef Ecosystem

Southern Florida coral reefs generated an estimated 71,000 jobs and US$6 billion in economic activity in 2001. These ecosystem goods and services, however, are threatened by increased exploitation and environmental changes from a rapidly growing regional human population. To address these threats, we adopted an ecosystem-based perspective and developed a systems science analysis framework over ...
