For the first time in its history, the International Symposium on Sea Turtle Biology and Conservation migrated to a site outside of the United States. Thus the Eighteenth edition was hosted by the Mazatlán Research Unit of the Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnología of the Mexican National Autonomous University (UNAM) in Mazatlán, Sinaloa (Mexico) where it was held from 3-7, March, 1998. Above all, our symposium is prominent for its dynamism and enthusiasm in bringing together specialists from the world´s sea turtle populations. In an effort to extend this philosophy, and fully aware of how fast the interest in sea turtles has grown, the organizers paid special attention to bring together as many people as possible. With the tremendous efforts of the Travel Committee and coupled with a special interest by the Latin American region´s devotees, we managed to get 653 participants from 43 countries. The number of presentations increased significantly too, reaching a total of 265 papers, ranging from cutting-edge scientific reports based on highly sophisticated methods, to the experiences and successes of community-based and environmental education programs. A priority given by this symposium was the support and encouragement for the construction of "bridges" across cultural and discipline barriers. We found success in achieving a multinational dialogue among interest groups- scientists, resource managers, decision makers, ngo's, private industry. There was a broad representation of the broad interests that stretch across these sectors, yet everyone was able to listen and offer their own best contribution towards the central theme of the Symposium: the conservation of sea turtles and the diversity of marine and coastal environments in which they develop through their complicated and protracted life cycle. Our multidisciplinary approach is highly important at the present, finding ourselves at a cross roads of significant initiatives in the international arena of environmental law, where the conservation of sea turtles has a key role to play. Many, many people worked hard over the previous 12 months, to make the symposium a success. Our sincerest thanks to all of them: Program committee: Laura Sarti (chair), Ana Barragán, Rod Mast, Heather Kalb, Jim Spotilla, Richard Reina, Sheryan Epperly, Anna Bass, Steve Morreale, Milani Chaloupka, Robert Van Dam, Lew Ehrhart, J.

Once again, Ed Drane worked his usual magic with the Treasury of the Symposium Significant financial contributions were generously provided by government agencies. SEMARNAP (Mexico´s Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources and Fisheries) through its central office, the Mazatlán Regional Fisheries Research Center (CRIP-Mazatlán) and the National Center for Education and Capacity Building for Sustainable Development (CECADESU) contributed to the logistics and covered the costs of auditoria and audiovisual equipment for the Symposium, teachers and their hotels for the Community Development and Environmental Education workshop in the 5th Latin American Sea Turtle Specialists; DIF (Dept of Family Affairs) provided free accomodation and food for the more than 100 participants in the Latin American Reunion. In this Reunion, the British Council-Mexico sponsored the workshop on the Project Cycle. The National Chamber of the Fisheries Industry (CANAINPES) kindly sponsored the Symposium´s coffee breaks. Personnel from the local Navy (Octave Zona Naval) provided invaluable aid in transport and logistics. The Scientific Coordination Office from UNAM (CICUNAM) and the Latin American Biology Network (RELAB) also provided funding. Our most sincere recognition to all of them. In the name of this Symposium´s compilers, I would like to also express our gratitude to Wayne Witzell, Technical Editor for his guidance and insights and to Jack Frazier for his help in translating and correcting the English of contributions from some non-native English speakers. Many thanks to Angel Fiscal and Tere Martin who helped with the typing in the last, last corrections and editions for these Proceedings.

Small-scale fisheries is traditional and rural based. Therefore, the paper is an over view of small-scale fisheries resources management in Nigeria. It provides about 80-90% employment to surrounding population. The small-scale fisheries are grouped in to two major sectors:- the artisanal or capture fisheries and aquaculture farming. The paper identified some management problems such as:- multi uses of the water bodies, lack of or inadequate data upon which sound management strategies are based, ownership of inland water bodies is a problem, uncontrolled exploitation hampers sustainable development, poor and low technology and lack of capital, land and credit facilities. The paper presented some management options for sustainable management. Measures to reduced fish spoilage have been advanced. Also highlighted is the role of fish culture in small-scale fisheries management

The study examined the characterization of rural livelihood of the fishermen in the Nigeria portion of Lake Chad Basin are as part of European Commission (EC) founded project entitled "Sustainable development of continental fisheries; a regional study of policy options and policy formation mechanisms for the Lake Chad Basin" Wealth ranking exercise which was not based on real income but on production capacity of the fishermen was carried out in twenty (20) villages survey on the western part of the region using Rapid Rural Appraisal Technique with semi- structured interviews. The different activities carried out by the villagers for living were identified according to their socio-economic status. This was followed by an assessment of the socio-economic characterization within each wealth group. Series of comparative analysis of the ethnic composition, accessibility of fishing gear ownership by the population were done. The results show that the 3 wealth groups in the region include the rich (Group 1) the middle class (Group 2) and the poor (Group 3). It was identified that fishing is just one component of the socio-economic production system along side farming, livestock rearing and trading which are closely integrated. The diversified livelihood system being practiced in the Chad Basin region are not only less vulnerable but also more sustainable

The study was an endeavor to bring forward a concise, factual description of the salient features of the present status of artisanal fisheries resources and its management for sustainable development of fishing communities in Teknaf coast, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. This study was conducted through 14 fishing villages of 4 Unions in Teknaf Upazila. As a hub of various fisheries deeds, a comprehensive coastal fisheries census, conducted on the coast during the study period, revealed that about 566 fishing fleet of two types, 1263 fishing gears of seven kinds, 6466 fishermen were being involved in fishing at Naaf river estuary. The catch composition of the coastal fishing was found 52 finfish species, 10 shrimp and 3 crabs. The unique potentialities provided by mostly affluent fisheries resources are needed to be tapped and channelized in the appropriate direction for maintaining a paragon of these fisheries resources of coastal area and for pursuing ecologically sustainable development via environment friendly intrinsic exploration and exploitation. “Community Based Fisheries Co-management” program should initiate immediately for the fisherman community of Naaf river estuary of Teknaf coastal region. This will go along way to help sustain the coastal fisheries resources with active participation of the fishermen

Por envolver número crescente de atores domésticos, a participação do Brasil na Cooperação Técnica entre Países em Desenvolvimento (CTPD) representa domínio privilegiado para se compreenderem oportunidades e desafios à institucionalização da Cooperação Sul-Sul nas relações exteriores do país. Além de contarem com competência setorial, instituições implementadoras da CTPD brasileira passaram a reunir conhecimentos sobre países com os quais o Brasil não mantinha ligações históricas estreitas e contínuas, aumentando seu potencial de influência sobre as diretrizes da política externa. Ao mesmo tempo, boa parte dessas instituições possui estrutura voltada para o desenvolvimento doméstico, conflitando com a alocação crescente de seus recursos para a promoção do desenvolvimento internacional. Por um lado, embora a busca pelo desenvolvimento nacional seja baluarte da diplomacia brasileira, os benefícios da CTPD para o mesmo aparecem de forma difusa no discurso diplomático. Por outro lado, agências implementadoras passaram a desenhar estratégias para triar ou induzir demandas, alimentando divergências com instituições decisórias e implementadoras que sustentavam visões distintas sobre o desenvolvimento e a inserção internacional do Brasil. O objetivo geral desta tese é entender os determinantes do envolvimento do Brasil na CTPD e os impactos da alocação crescente de recursos oficiais brasileiros para a promoção do desenvolvimento internacional sobre a formulação da política externa brasileira. A análise será aprofundada por meio de estudo dos casos de duas agências protagonistas na CTPD brasileira: a Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA) e o Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial (SENAI). Seu envolvimento na CTPD apresenta trajetória semelhante na medida em que induzido, inicialmente, por doadores tradicionais e, posteriormente, como maior ênfase, pela diplomacia brasileira. Durante o Governo Lula, diante do volume crescente de demandas, EMBRAPA e SENAI, identificados tradicionalmente com modelos de desenvolvimento focados no crescimento econômico e no avanço científico-tecnológico, fortaleceram suas divisões de Relações Internacionais e buscaram influenciar o processo decisório da CTPD considerando lições aprendidas em campo e elementos de seus respectivos planejamentos estratégicos. Não obstante, com a entrada do Governo Dilma e as novas prioridades do desenvolvimento e da política externa, essas instituições divergiram na avaliação da instrumentalidade da CTPD. A vertente Sul-Sul se desmobilizou no SENAI, mas continuou relevante na EMBRAPA, o que pode guardar relação com a maior competitividade do setor agrícola brasileiro e com a capacidade da EMBRAPA de mobilizar fontes alternativas de recursos humanos e financeiros para implementar ações. Porém, a polarização entre agronegócio e agricultura familiar dentro da empresa, alimentada pela sua polarização na sociedade brasileira e fora do país, comprometeu o alinhamento institucional em torno do caráter estratégico de sua atuação na CTPD.

O crescimento da demanda mundial, por água de boa qualidade, a uma taxa superior a da renovabilidade do ciclo hidrológico é, consensualmente, prevista nos meios técnicos e científicos internacionais. De fato, o consumo mundial de água continua crescendo rapidamente com a elevação de consumo dos setores agrícola, industrial e residencial. Tal situação tem causado sérias limitações as necessidades humanas e degradações dos ecossistemas aquáticos. A escassez de água no novo século induz o homem a discutir o futuro deste recurso e conseqüentemente de sua própria existência.Governos, empresas e sociedade precisam por tanto repensar os critérios de crescimento levando em consideração os impactos ao meio ambiente e o desenvolvimento sustentável. Nesse sentido política publicas que envolvam o gerenciamento adequado dos recursos hídricos são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento de qualquer país. É em este contexto que este projeto se desenvolve. Este estudo contempla uma descrição das características da Bolívia e apresenta uma abordagem histórica da gestão da água no país. Para efeitos comparativos apresenta uma descrição da gestão dos recursos hídricos no Brasil. A sugestão para as modificações na lei das águas que se encontra atualmente em fase de aprovação junto ao parlamento boliviano é apresentada dentro de um sistema de gestão de recursos hídricos descentralizado e com participação social tendo como unidade de gestão a bacia hidrográfica.

The study was conducted to investigate the communities perception and compliance to community-based fisheries management (CBFM) in Turag-Bangshi floodplains under Kaliakoir, Gazipur District. Measures such as ban on use of the harmful fishing gears, seasonal fishing closure, halt of fry fishing, halt of dewatering of beels and the impact of establishment of sanctuaries on fish production and species diversity were introduced by MACH project. Almost all members of the communities in Turag-Bangshi MACH (Management of Aquatic Ecosystem through Community Husbandry) site welcomed the introduction and complied with the implementation of all management measures which helped stopped use of harmful fishing gears, ensured survival and breeding of brood fish in the rainy season, protected and allowed fry to grow big, restored lost and degraded fisheries and organized communities for sustainable development of the fisheries. A total of 51 species of fishes were found in Makosh beel (natural depression). Among these, small indigenous species (SIS) under Cyprinidae family (Puntius sophore) was the most dominant. Many species available in the past recorded disappeared from the Makosh beel due to loss of habitat and industrial pollution that damaged spawning and nursery grounds of fish. Introduction of some selective native endangered species (Nandus nandus, Notopterus notopterus, Ompok pabda and Labeo calbasu) by MACH in the Turag-Bangshi water bodies increased diversity of species from 82 to 95. Over a period of five years during MACH intervention, the average production remained nearly 200% higher than the baseline production of 57 kg/ha to present 207 kg/ha due to maintaining sanctuaries and the closed fishing seasons. Per capita daily fish consumption of the surrounding communities also increased by 78% (from 27 to 48 g/person/day) which is much higher than the national average fish consumption in Bangladesh. The implementation of community-based MACH project management measures substantially improved fish habitat, production, consumption and socio-economic conditions of the surrounding communities. The model can be used to improve the floodplains of Bangladesh.

With the concerns over climate change and the escalation in worldwide population, sustainable development attracts more and more attention of academia, policy makers, and businesses in countries. Sustainable manufacturing is an inextricable measure to achieve sustainable development since manufacturing is one of the main energy consumers and greenhouse gas contributors. In the previous researches on production planning of manufacturing systems, environmental factor was rarely considered. This paper investigates the production planning problem under the performance measures of economy and environment with respect to seru production systems, a new manufacturing system praised as Double E (ecology and economy) in Japanese manufacturing industries. We propose a mathematical model with two objectives minimizing carbon dioxide emission and makespan for processing all product types by a seru production system. To solve this mathematical model, we develop an algorithm based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II. The computation results and analysis of three numeral examples confirm the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Commercial farming of the intertidal brown alga Hizikia fusiformis (Harvey) Okamura in China and South Korea in the sea depends on three sources of seedlings: holdfast-derived regenerated seedlings, young plants from wild population and zygote-derived seedlings. Like many successfully farmed seaweed species, the sustainable development of Hizikia farming will rely on a stable supply of artificial seedlings via sexual reproduction under controlled conditions. However, the high rate of detachment of seedlings after transfer to open sea is one of the main obstacles, and has limited large-scale application of zygote-derived seedlings. To seek the optimal condition for growing seedlings on substratum in land-based tanks for avoidance of detachment in this investigation, young seedlings were grown in both outdoor tanks exposed directly to sunlight and in indoor raceway tanks in reduced, filtered sunlight. Results showed that young seedlings, immediately after fertilization, could withstand a daily fluctuation of direct solar irradiance up to a level of 1800 mu mol photons m(-1)s(-1), and maintained a faster growth rate than seedlings grown in indoor tanks. Detailed experiments by use of chlorophyll fluorescence measurements further demonstrated that the overnight (12 h) recovery of optimal fluorescence quantum yield (F-v/F-m) of seedlings after 1 h treatment at 40 degrees C was 98%, and the 48 h recovery of F-v/F-m of seedlings after 1 h exposure to 1800 mu mol m(-2)s(-1) was 92%. Forty-one-day-old seedlings showed no significant decrease of optimal fluorescence quantum yield at salinity ranging from 30 to 5 ppt for a treatment up to 17 h. Six-hour desiccation treatment did not have any influence on the optimal fluorescence quantum yield. Exposure to 18 mmol L-1 sodium hypochlorite for 10 min did not damage the PSII efficiency, and thus could be used to remove epiphytic algae. The strong tolerance of young seedlings to high temperature, high irradiance, low salinity and desiccation found in this investigation supports the view that mass production of Hizikia seedlings should be performed in ambient light and temperature instead of in shaded greenhouse tanks.

Resumo: A maioria dos sistemas de produção em prática no trópico semi-árido brasileiro pela agricultura familiar apresenta baixa ou nenhuma sustentabilidade, devido ao uso de tecnologias quase sempre agressivas ao ecossistema. Como consequência, observa-se, nos sertões nordestinos degradação ambiental generalizada, baixa produtividade das atividades agrícolas, pastoris e madeireiras, inviabilização da agricultura, queda da qualidade devida e êxodo rural acentuado. Urge, pois, que se forneça ao agricultor alternativas de sistemas de produção sustentáveis que atendam a quatro objetivos, quais sejam, a fixação da agricultura migratória, a adequação do manejo pastoril, a racionalização da produção de madeira e a uma forte integração dessas atividades. Para tanto, deve-se: excluir as queimadas, substituir o desmatamento pelo raleamento da vegetação lenhosa, manter um aporte substancial de matéria orgânica, utilizar Ieguminosas como fonte de adubo verde, ajustar a carga animal para a capacidade de suporte da área e adotar-se o corte seletivo e manejo da rebrota na exploração madeireira. A adoção dessas tecnologias na certa contribuirá: para a viabilização ecológica, social e econômica da agricultura familiar nos serões nordestinos, para a sustação dos processos de degradação ambiental, para a melhoria da qualidade de vida da população e para a redução do êxodo rural.
