Shifting environmental baselines in the Red Sea

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2014
The Red Sea is among the world's top marine biodiversity hotspots. We re-examined coastal ecosystems at sites surveyed during the 1980s using the same methodology. Coral cover increased significantly towards the north, mirroring the reverse pattern for mangroves and other sedimentary ecosystems.

Environmental Baseline Research in the Canadian Beaufort Sea

SPE Arctic and Extreme Environments Conference and Exhibition, 2011
Abstract It is generally understood that hydrocarbon exploration in the circumpolar Arctic will increase in the coming years to meet growing global energy demands. Concurrent with consumer demand is an equally important obligation to demonstrate adequate environmental understanding and risk-based operations planning prior to conducting ...

Metals in molluscs and algae: A north–south Tyrrhenian Sea baseline

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2010
We develop a 800 km long relative baseline of metal pollution for the Tyrrhenian Sea, from the north of Naples to south of Sicily (Italy), based on spatio-temporal (1997-2004) concentrations of trace metals in marine organisms and on the bioaccumulative properties of those organisms.

Iceland’s Territorial Sea Baselines, Volcanic Eruptions and Sea Level Rise

The Yearbook of Polar Law Online
Abstract Volcanic eruptions can have various consequences, including in the field of the international law of the sea. This article addresses the impact that two volcanic eruptions had on the baselines for measuring the breadth of Iceland’s territorial sea. First, the impact of the eruption in 1918 in Katla was addressed by the Supreme Court of Iceland

BASELINE OF BEACHED MARINE DEBRIS IN THREE SITES, RED SEA - ERITREA

International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, 2021
Marine macro debris are increasingly deposited on beaches and are exposed to future micro plastics which are far more dangerous. The transboundary nature of the debris makes it a global case. This study is carried out on the Eritrean coasts of the southern Red Sea. Three sites selected according to their anthropogenic pressure difference and the result

Baseline Studies and Risk Analyses in the Baltic Sea

International Oil Spill Conference Proceedings, 1991
ABSTRACT In 1986 an oil and gas concession in the Baltic Sea was granted by the Danish Ministry of Energy to a group of oil companies, with Norsk Hydro as operator. A paper describing the goals achieved midway through the program was presented at the 1989 Oil Spill Conference in San Antonio, Texas.

Genetic baseline for conservation and management of sea trout in the northern Baltic Sea

Conservation Genetics, 2015
The genetic structure of nine wild, seven hatchery-reared, and one presumably mixed, sea trout (Salmo trutta L.) populations sampled from watersheds along the Swedish Baltic Sea coast was analysed using ten microsatellite loci. DNA-information was evaluated as a baseline for mixed stock analysis (MSA) and individual assignment (IA).

Baselines in the Modern Law of the Sea

2014
In several different capacities, Satya N. Nandan has made most valuable contributions to the modernisation of the law of the sea. This chapter offers some observations on the rules of law relating to baselines. Many of these rules were discussed in the Second Committee's working group on baselines, to which Satya Nandan and the author both belonged ...
