River Fowey SAP Final Plan

This is the River Fowey Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2003. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Fowey catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. It provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the River Fowey salmon stock. The actions presented within this final Salmon Action Plan clarify the important issues and factors currently limiting the salmon stock on the river. The resolution of these issues should ensure that a sustainable salmon population will be maintained for future generations. The main objective of the Fowey SAP therefore, is to maintain, improve and develop the Fowey salmon stocks to a sustainable level that, on the basis of historic catch records, the catchment can clearly support. Although the Fowey is passing its conservation limit, the consultees felt very strongly that there were two major factors limiting the salmon stock of the River Fowey- the overgrazing of Bodmin Moor and the use of the catchment for water supply by South West Water.

River Lynher SAP Final Plan

This is the River Lynher Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 1999. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Lynher catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. It provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the River Lynher salmon stock. The actions presented within this final Salmon Action Plan clarify the important issues and factors currently limiting the salmon stock on the river. The resolution of these issues should ensure that a sustainable salmon population will be maintained for future generations. The River Lynher salmon stock has suffered two periods of spawning target failure within the past ten years. This assessment can only be estimated and in this case is likely to be dependent on river flow and the availability of salmon to the rods as only rod catch is used in the compliance assessment.

River Plym SAP Final Plan

This is the River Plym Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2003. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Plym catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. It provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the River Lynher salmon stock. These issues and actions follow on from the detailed analysis of the catchment, which is presented in the River Plym SAP Consultation document.The actions presented within this final Salmon Action Plan clarify the important issues and factors currently limiting the salmon stock on the river. The resolution of these issues should ensure that a sustainable salmon population will be maintained for future generations. The main objective of the River Plym SAP therefore, is to maintain, improve and develop the River Plym salmon stocks to a sustainable level that, on the basis of historic catch records, the catchment can clearly support. The River Plym has failed to pass its conservation limit since 1996, and the consultees felt very strongly that there were three major factors limiting the salmon stock of the River Plym.

River Tavy SAP Final Plan

This is the River Tavy Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2000. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Tavy catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. It provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the River Tavy salmon stock. The actions presented within this Salmon Action Plan clarify the important issues and factors currently limiting the salmon stock on the river. The resolution of these issues should ensure that a sustainable salmon population will be maintained for future generations. An attempt has been made to cost these actions, identify possible sources of funding and to provide a timescale for action. This Action Plan aims to promote long term collaboration and co-operation between the Agency and other interested parties to effectively and efficiently manage the stock of salmon on the River Tavy.

River Yealm SAP Final Plan

This is the River Yealm Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2003. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Yealm catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. It provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the River Yealm salmon stock. The actions presented within this Salmon Action Plan clarify the important issues and factors currently limiting the salmon stock on the river. The resolution of these issues should ensure that a sustainable salmon population will be maintained for future generations. An attempt has been made to cost these actions, identify possible sources of funding and to provide a timescale for action. The main objective of the River Yealm SAP is to maintain, improve and develop the River Yealm salmon stocks to a sustainable level that, on the basis of historic catch records, the catchment can clearly support.

The Rivers Avon & Erme SAP Final Plan

This is the Rivers Avon & Erme Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2004. The Rivers Avon and Erme Salmon Action Plan (SAP) has been produced after consideration of feedback from public consultation. The final plan provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the salmon stocks and fisheries of both rivers. Efforts have been made to identify possible sources of funding, partners and timescales. It indicates how the plan will be managed, including the process for reviewing stock status, issues, actions and progress. Low marine survival is currently a major factor limiting the numbers of salmon returning to spawn in both the Avon and the Erme. Actions to improve the accessibility of spawning areas and to maximise the productivity of spawning and nursery habitats are seen as priorities, which should help to offset the low marine survival. The quality of the information available to assess salmon stocks is recognised as a limiting factor in the management of salmon fisheries. The SAP aims also to promote long term collaboration between the Agency and other interested parties in managing the salmon stocks and fisheries of the Avon and the Erme.

The River Axe SAP Final Plan

This is the River Axe Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2004. The River Axe Salmon Action Plan (SAP) has been produced after consideration of feedback from public consultation. The final plan provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the salmon stock of the River Axe. Efforts have been made to identify possible sources of funding, partners and timescales. It indicates how the plan will be managed, including the process for reviewing stock status, issues, actions and progress. Low marine survival is currently a major factor limiting salmon stocks throughout the United Kingdom. However, on the River Axe the freshwater environment is still the main factor limiting the recovery of the salmon stock. Most of the adults returning to the Axe at present are probably derived from hatchery reared smolts, although there has been some natural reproduction in recent years. Juvenile populations in the Yarty indicate that this is a tributary where salmon have started to re-establish a self-sustaining population. Actions to improve the quality of the freshwater environment, both in terms of water quality and sedimentation, are seen as the top priorities, and are required to allow the Axe to support a self-sustaining salmon population.

The River Dart SAP Final Plan

This is the River Dart Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2003. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Dart catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. It provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the River Dart salmon stock. The low marine survival (likely to be below 10%) is possibly to be the main cause for the River Dart salmon stock non-compliance with its conservation limit. Actions protecting smolts and maximising spawning activity of returning adults are seen as priorities to contribute to mitigate the low marine survival. Also the lack of information on salmon stock and its habitat is recognised as one main factor limiting the better management of salmon fisheries. Efforts will be focused on gaining more knowledge and improving modelling techniques. The actions presented in this document are perceived as those required to address the important issues and factors limiting the salmon stock. This SAP aims also to promote long term collaboration between the Agency and other interested parties in managing the River Dart salmon stock and fisheries.

The River Lyn SAP Final Plan

This is the River Lyn Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2003. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Lyn catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. It provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the River Lyn salmon stock. The actions presented within this Salmon Action Plan clarify the important issues and factors currently limiting the salmon stock on the river. The resolution of these issues should ensure that a sustainable salmon population will be maintained for future generations. An attempt has been made to cost these actions, identify possible sources of funding and to provide a timescale for action. This SAP aims also to promote long term collaboration between the Agency and other interested parties in managing the River Lyn salmon stock and fisheries.

The River Taw SAP Final Plan

This is the River Taw Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2000. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Taw catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. The SAP provides a list of the issues and actions which were agreed for a five-year programme to maintain and improve the River Taw salmon stock. Some of these actions have already been delivered before finalising the SAP, but others have yet to be addressed. An attempt has been made to estimate the cost of the actions, identify possible sources of funding and the timescale under which they will be dealt with. The Taw salmon stock is currently failing to meet its spawning target. However, there was a period of compliance in the 1990s following a decade of failure through the 1980s. The freshwater environment of the Taw has improved in recent years. The actions presented in this SAP are perceived as those that are required to address, as far as possible, the important issues and factors currently limiting the salmon stock on the river. This SAP aims to promote long term collaboration between the Agency and other interested parties in managing the River Taw salmon stock and fisheries.

The River Teign SAP Final Plan

This is the River Teign Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2003. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Teign catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. This final plan provides a list of the agreed issues and actions for the next five years to maintain and improve the River Teign salmon stock. An attempt has been made to cost these actions, identify possible sources of funding, partners and the timescale under which they will be dealt with. It indicates how the plan will be managed, i.e., implemented and reviewed, and, summarises progress of on-going actions. The low marine survival (likely to be below 10%) is possibly the main cause for the River Teign salmon stock non-compliance with its conservation limit. Actions protecting smolts and maximising spawning activity of returning adults are seen as priorities to contribute to offset the low marine survival. This SAP aims also to promote long term collaboration between the Agency and other interested parties in managing the River Teign salmon stock and fisheries.

The River Torridge SAP Final Plan

This is the River Torridge Salmon Action Plan Final document produced by the Environment Agency in 2000. This final Salmon Action Plan (SAP) for the River Torridge catchment has been produced after consideration of feedback from external consultation. The SAP provides a list of the issues and actions which were agreed for a five-year programme to maintain and improve the River Torridge salmon stock. Some of these actions have already been delivered before finalising the SAP, but others have yet to be addressed. An attempt has been made to estimate the cost of the actions, identify possible sources of funding and the timescale under which they will be dealt with. The Torridge salmon stock has declined dramatically since the 1960s and is currently failing to meet the spawning target. The decline in the spring fish component has accounted largely for the overall decrease in stocks. The reasons for the decline are not fully understood, but the spring fish problem is recognised as a national issue. The rate of survival over the marine phase has reduced in recent years for both the grilse and multi-sea winter (MSW) components. This is undoubtedly a contributory factor, which may now constrain stocks to lower levels than have existed historically. Agricultural pollution is recognised as one of the main factors limiting freshwater production. This SAP aims to promote long term collaboration between the Agency and other interested parties in managing the River Torridge salmon stock and fisheries.

Intersetorialidade e políticas sociais: análise do estado da arte da produção bibliográfica no cenário brasileiro: uma análise a partir do estado da arte

As desigualdades e demais complexidades produzidas pelo sistema capitalista e a retração do Estado na área social vêm produzindo, e reafirmando, problemas e situações frente aos quais conhecimentos e ações focalizados, fragmentados e setoriais são incapazes de explicar e de enfrentar. Partindo deste entendimento, no presente estudo foi realizada uma investigação acerca das proposições e do debate recente sobre a intersetorialidade e a política social no cenário brasileiro, buscando caracterizar o estado da arte das produções acadêmico-científicas elaboradas no período de 1986 a 2013. Consiste, então, em um estudo baseado em revisão bibliográfica, de cunho qualitativo, cujo recorte se volta para as produções identificadas junto às bases bibliográficas do banco de resumos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e da Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO). Procurou-se identificar os estudos produzidos sobre a intersetorialidade e as políticas sociais, assim como o tratamento teórico-metodológico dado a este tema a partir do exame das produções bibliográficas identificadas e selecionadas. Buscou-se apreender as concepções e dimensões de análise sobre intersetorialidade e política social e a possível heterogeneidade de abordagens, além de elaborar os principais consensos e dissensos teóricos em torno do tema. Por fim, procedeu-se a demarcação dos principais desafios teóricos e práticos postos à implementação da intersetorialidade no campo da política social. Os resultados apontam a presença de uma diversidade de entendimento em relação ao termo intersetorialidade que, por vezes, tem sido relacionada apenas à dimensão técnica, funcional e gerencial no âmbito da gestão e intervenção social, estando esse debate isento, em grande parte, da análise crítica dos processos contraditórios que perpassam as políticas sociais. A pesquisa demonstrou também o avanço do debate crítico sobre a intersetorialidade e políticas sociais, principalmente nos últimos anos, relacionando as dimensões técnica, ético-política, econômica, cultural e social relacionadas ao debate e proposições acerca da intersetorialidade e as políticas sociais.

Reprodução assistida: a organização da atenção às infertilidades e o acesso às técnicas reprodutivas em dois serviços público-universitários no Estado do Rio de Janeiro.

Nesta tese foram analisadas iniciativas e ações individuais e coletivas de gestores e profissionais de dois Hospitais Público-Universitários de Saúde, que mantêm serviços de referência no atendimento às infertilidades, no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. É visada a implementação de tecnologias de reprodução assistida (RA) pelo SUS, no Estado. O estudo constou de entrevistas com profissionais de saúde destes serviços e especialistas na área que ali atuam, leitura de prontuários e pesquisa documental no Departamento de Serviço Social de um dos serviços, além de atualização bibliográfica no campo estudado. Os resultados obtidos de material primário e documental evidenciam a não priorização da reprodução assistida em políticas públicas de saúde no Brasil. No entanto, foi possível encontrar importantes iniciativas dos próprios profissionais de saúde para a ampliação da atenção em infertilidade e do acesso às tecnologias reprodutivas no Rio de Janeiro. Em geral, foram mobilizações individuais, que dependeram do empenho direto dos médicos responsáveis dos serviços. As motivações para estas ações incluíam aspectos acadêmicos, assistenciais, de direitos reprodutivos, além de interesses público-privados. A única mobilização interinstitucional, organizada inicialmente pelo Serviço Social, não conseguiu garantir o acesso à assistência integral em reprodução assistida no Rio de Janeiro. No caso da reprodução assistida, há uma forte desigualdade de base socioeconômica, já que mulheres e casais pobres são excluídos, ou quase, do acesso à IIU, Fiv e ICSI, pois não têm condições econômicas para tentar um tratamento particular, onde se encontram concentradas mais de 90% da assistência no país. Este segmento populacional não encontra recursos, nem tecnológicos, nem humanos, nos serviços públicos de saúde. Este quadro aumenta sua vulnerabilidade e reduz sua autonomia reprodutiva pela falta de acesso.

Comunidade de mamíferos de médio e grande porte em um mosaico de fitofisionomias na Mata Atlântica no estado do Espírito Santo, Brasil

A Mata Atlântica é considerada como um dos cinco hotspots mais diversos, sendo um conjunto complexo de ecossistemas que abriga uma parcela significativa da diversidade biológica do Brasil. O Estado do Espírito Santo, localizado na região Sudeste, possuía quase 90% de sua superfície coberta por Mata Atlântica, entretanto com o processo de colonização portuguesa, ocupação do território e industrialização, restou apenas 8% da cobertura florestal original. Com toda a informação existente acerca das espécies neotropicais de mamíferos de médio e grande porte ainda há muitas lacunas no nosso conhecimento. Nesse sentido, esta dissertação foi desenvolvida em quatro capítulos com o objetivo de realizar um levantamento de dados de riqueza, composição, abundância, densidade populacional, período de atividade, distribuição e uso do hábitat por espécies de mamíferos de médio e grande porte, da Reserva Natural Vale (RNV), norte do Espírito Santo. Espera-se que as informações aqui geradas possam contribuir com o incremento no conhecimento da ecologia dos mamíferos neotropicais, bem como fornecer informações desse grupo para subsidiar as políticas e ações ambientais que visem à conservação da biodiversidade. Para este estudo foi realizado amostragens mensais no período de abril de 2013 até junho de 2014 na RNV, através de armadilhamento fotográfico (39 armadilhas fotográficas) e também transecções lineares Os registros obtidos nas39 armadilhas fotográficas resultaram em um total de 7.020 dias de monitoramento. Foram observadas 23245 fotos de 26 espécies de mamíferos de médio e grande porte. Uma maior riqueza e frequência de registros ocorreram nas armadilhas estabelecidas na região norte da RNV. A distância do recurso hídrico estava positivamente relacionada com a composição de mamíferos e a quantidade de registros de caça no presente estudo teve um efeito marginalmente negativo na frequência de registros nas regiões oeste e sul, onde apresentaram uma maior incidência de caça. Nossos resultados mostram que essas espécies não estão distribuídas uniformemente dentro da reserva, com a ocupação das mesmas tendo sido afetada por quatro principais covariáveis: (1) distância entre árvores; (2) distância da estrada; (3) distância do recurso hídrico mais próximo e (4) densidade de lianas por hectare. A detectabilidade das espécies que são consideradas cinegéticas foi afetada pelo histórico de registros de caça. A maioria das espécies registradas que tiveram uma probabilidade de ocupação alta são raras ou até mesmo localmente extintas em outras áreas de domínio da Mata Atlântica. Adicionalmente nossos dados confirmam que a RNV abriga uma fauna de mamíferos de médio e grande porte rica, incluindo grandes herbívoros, dispersores de sementes e alguns carnívoros. Embora o estudo tenha sido realizado em apenas uma área, vale lembrar que a RNV, juntamente com a ReBio Sooretama, formam o maior bloco de área protegida dentro do estado do Espírito Santo e também um dos maiores blocos de Mata de Tabuleiro. Assim, para a conservação das espécies que habitam a RNV, é preciso considerar não apenas a reserva isolada, mas todo o bloco Linhares-Sooretama, uma vez que estão conectados permitirão o incremento populacional e as trocas genéticas entre as populações. Somente desse modo será aumentada a probabilidade de sobrevivência e manutenção das espécies em longo prazo, das espécies de mamíferos de médio e grande porte
