The Economics of Protected Marine Species : Concepts in Research and Management - Frontiers Research Topic

The Economics of Protected Marine Species : Concepts in Research and Management - Frontiers Research Topic | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature, a global environmental organization, lists approximately 1,200 marine species worldwide that are considered vulnerable, threatened, or at-risk of extinction. Many are provided legal protection through national laws requiring research and management measures aimed at recovering and maintaining the species at a sustainable population level. Integral to the policy decision process involving the management and recovery of marine species is the consideration of trade-offs between the economic and ecological costs and benefits of protection. This suggests that economics, at its core the study of trade-offs, has a significant role. In the U.S. a somewhat traditional use of economics in protected species research and management has involved cost minimization or cost-effectiveness analyses to help select or prioritize conservation actions.

El IEO y Oceana desarrollan un método pionero en Europa para gestionar áreas protegidas

El IEO y Oceana desarrollan un método pionero en Europa para gestionar áreas protegidas | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

El Instituto Español de Oceanografía y Oceana han publicado en la revista de investigación Aquatic conservation: Marine and freshwater ecosystems un mapa de los hábitats profundos del Seco de los Olivos, una montaña submarina situada frente a la costa de Almería. La metodología, que utiliza algoritmos estadísticos para generar mapas continuos de los hábitats del fondo marino mediante la combinación de datos visuales y geológicos, se emplea por primera vez en el Mediterráneo y puede convertirse en un modelo internacional para mejorar la gestión de las áreas marinas protegidas. El Seco de los Olivos es una zona de gran diversiodad biológica protegida en la red Natura 2000 europea.
