Book (series)Mediterranean coastal lagoons: sustainable management and interactions among aquaculture, capture fisheries and the environment 2015

No results found.The Mediterranean region hosts around 400 coastal lagoons, covering a surface of over 641 000 ha differing in both their typology and use. Fisheries and various forms of aquaculture have been traditionally carried out in Mediterranean coastal lagoons since ancient times and are part of the cultural heritage of the region. Traditional lagoon management linked to extensive aquaculture and fish harvesting has certainly contributed, over time, to preserve these peculiar ecosystems, although much of the coastal lagoon areas have progressively disappeared due to land reclamation and other uses. Recently, coastal lagoons have become a relevant environmental concern: land claiming, pollution and the lack of management, among other factors, have strongly modified both the structure and functioning of these sensitive coastal ecosystems. In particular, the management of traditional aquaculture and capture fisheries activities has been identified as the main instrument to maintain lagoons’ ecolog ical features and to prevent the degradation of their sensitive habitats, both from an environmental and socioeconomic point of view. To guarantee the sustainability of aquaculture and capture fisheries in lagoons, proper management plans should be established so as to ensure the preservation of both biodiversity and local knowledge. This should also be considered as a fundamental pillar for any programme aiming at the preservation and restoration of lagoons’ environment. -

No results found.Main detailed drawings and specifications were provided during the mission for the establishment of the Beymelek Lagoon Aquaculture Centre. Turkish engineers are completing detailed construction drawings, calculations, specifications, bills of quantities and costings. A detailed and up-to-date work plan was prepared which allows for beginning of construction in April/May. The programmes and budget were revised for the Project Personnel as part of the U.N.D.P. contribution. Following the reco mmendations made during last mission (18 M/M for consultants, 18 M/M for a hatchery specialist and 24–30 M/M for the Senior Advisor), a budget extension was accepted by U.N.D.P. to cover 15 M/M, 6 M/M and 18 M/M, respectively. Should the project proceed and develop according to the plan and expected inputs, the U.N.D.P. contribution towards the Project Personnel should be extended at least to 1990 and 1991. Final equipment lists and estimated budget were prepared. The equipment covered by U.N. D.P. contribution includes hatchery and laboratory equipment. The contribution (112.000 USD) is not sufficient to cover the equipment to be imported for the project. Through a cost sharing agreement, additional equipment (hatchery special equipment, main pumps and a generator) will be covered by G.O.T. contribution and be imported by U.N.D.P. (approximately 500.000 USD in 1989). The same agreement should be established for further equipment to be imported in 1990 and 1991. The Senior Advisor and National project Coordinator will prepare up-to-date lists for equipment to be purchased locally in 1989 and for the whole equipment required for project implementation in 1990 and 1991. Outlines of the training courses, fellowships and study tours have already been discussed with the National Project Coordinator. Definite programmes will be established by Senior Advisor and Project Coordinator.
