EC—Seal Products raises an important issue in World Trade Organization (WTO) law: How can WTO trea-ties be interpreted to accommodate divergent legitimate purposes of a domestic regulation? The European Union (EU) measure at issue is a ban on the placing of seal products on the EU market, coupled with excep-tions3 for seal products produced by Inuit and other indigenous communities (IC exception), and for seal products obtained from seals hunted for the purpose of marine resource management and sold on a nonprofit basis (MRM exception). The seal ban was imposed out of the public concern over the cruel manner in which seals are hunted and killed, whereas the IC exception was made to protect the traditional lifestyle of indigenous peoples and the MRM exception accommodated theneed for sustainable management of marine resources. The EU regulation, therefore, was designed to achieve divergent policy objectives. The exceptions derogate from the ban because they permit hunting and killing of seals which can cause the very pain andsuffering for seals that concerns the EU public.

Abstract Stuart, V., Platt, T., Sathyendranath, S., and Pravin, P. 2011. Remote sensing and fisheries: an introduction. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 639–641. The international coordination project SAFARI (Societal Applications in Fisheries and Aquaculture using Remotely-sensed Imagery) organized a symposium on Remote Sensing and Fisheries in Kochi, India, 11–17 February 2010. The well-attended symposium highlighted various applications of remote sensing to fisheries and aquaculture and identified various steps that would further enhance the use of remote sensing for sustainable management of marine resources and stewardship of the oceans.

The first meeting of the A.B.A. National Institute on Marine Resources, sponsored by the Section of Natural Resources Law, was held in Long Beach, California, June 7-10, 1967. The program included the presentation of papers, panel discussions, and questions from the audience dealing with the following topics : United States policy regarding marine resources ; the administration of marine resources underlying the high seas; zones of national interest—a discussion of the need for revision of the Geneva Conventions; the administration of laws for the exploitation of offshore minerals in the United States; and the technological aspects of exploiting marine resources.

Sea cucumber is one of high value economic commodity due to not only having a fairly completed nutrition, but also used as the raw material for production of drugs, cosmetics and others. Therefore it becomes one of the highly potential export commodities. However, the target of catching sea cucumbers community intensively will give a negative impact on its sustainability. Sea cucumber has long been recognized and protected by the people in Padaido islands known as sasisen or sasi system. Although it has been conserved through sasisen system, but tends decline recently. This happen due to the high fishing activities by fisherman. Sea farming methods is a sea fisheries development concept in shallow waters such as the merger between aquaculture and capture fisheries by utilizing leading commodity in potential cultivation area. Sea farming is a system of utilization of marine ecosystem-based marine culture with the ultimate goal to improve the stock of fish (fish resources enhancement) to the sustainability of fisheries and other marine-based activities such as ecotourism. This paper will discuss the development opportunities of sea farming system that is integrated with the prevailing of local wisdom in Padaido Islands, Biak Numfor Regency, Papua, namely sasisen. This system works in conserving sea cucumber resources and increasing incomes of local communities in Padaido island through the creation of alternative livelihoods specifically in sea cucumber cultivation. Therefore, these models and approaches can be considered to manage coastal and marine resources in a sustainable way in Padaido Islands, Biak Numfor Regency.Key words: Sea cucumber, sustainable management, sasisen, Padaido Islands.

The current arrangements for the management of the marine resources of Bangladesh are not adequate for sustainable management. Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) may be a tool to achieve sustainable management of marine resources. The Government of Bangladesh is planning for the development of MSP for sustainable management of the marine resources in the Bay of Bengal. However, a clear understanding of the current and required legal and institutional arrangements for the development of MSP in Bangladesh is essential for sustainable management of the marine resources. This article analyzes the current legal and institutional arrangements concerning the management of marine resources and explores potential inadequacies for the development of MSP for sustainable management. The article refers to the legal and institutional arrangements of other coastal states which have already developed MSP to find out the required arrangements for the development of MSP in Bangladesh.

AbstractIncreasing fishing effort and advances in fishing technology and methods are putting new pressure on deep-sea fisheries. Multilateral efforts to manage the living marine resources over the past fifty years have met with mixed results. This paper examines multilateral approaches and measures adopted in the past decade to manage these resources. It then addresses two threshold questions to be asked in considering multilateral management of deep-sea fisheries: 1) whether new approaches should take the form of binding or non-binding measures, and 2) whether such measures should apply in all marine areas or only on the high seas. It concludes with recommended elements that should be included to maximize the chances of success for managing deep-sea fisheries.

Coastal area is an important area to be preserved. Management of coastal areas can be done starting from planning and management must be integrated with socio-cultural, environmental and economic interests. The existence of local wisdom in the community in managing, maintaining and utilizing marine resources can be a filter for modernization that can have a negative impact on social and cultural life as well as the natural environment. The purpose of this paper is to examine and examine the perspective of local wisdom of coastal communities in managing a sustainable environment. The local wisdom of the coastal community of Panyula in sustainable environmental management and is still being carried out today, namely: Mabbaca Doang (Reading Prayers), Massappa Wettu Makanja No Ritasi e' (finding a good or right time to go down to the sea), Appakeng Parewa Tasi Mari Olo (use of traditional fishing gear), and Pemmali Lao No' Ritasi'e (abstinence when going out to sea). This local wisdom has a positive influence on the management, utilization, and sustainable development of marine resources. Where the local wisdom contains the rules or norms and culture of the community that are related and useful in efforts to preserve the sustainable coastal environment.

Effective disease management can benefit from mathematical models that identify drivers of epidemiological change and guide decision-making. This is well illustrated in the host–parasite system of sea lice and salmon, which has been modelled extensively due to the economic costs associated with sea louse infections on salmon farms and the conservation concerns associated with sea louse infections on wild salmon. Consequently, a rich modelling literature devoted to sea louse and salmon epidemiology has been developed. We provide a synthesis of the mathematical and statistical models that have been used to study the epidemiology of sea lice and salmon. These studies span both conceptual and tactical models to quantify the effects of infections on host populations and communities, describe and predict patterns of transmission and dispersal, and guide evidence-based management of wild and farmed salmon. As aquaculture production continues to increase, advances made in modelling sea louse and salmon epidemiology should inform the sustainable management of marine resources.
