Abstract Makino, M., and Sakurai, Y. 2012. Adaptation to climate-change effects on fisheries in the Shiretoko World Natural Heritage area, Japan. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: . In the Shiretoko World Natural Heritage area, many factors have been observed that imply effects of climate change on ecosystems, such as decreases in seasonal sea ice, changes in fishing grounds, and the appearance of non-local species. This study summarizes observed and anticipated effects of such climate change on fisheries in the heritage area and discusses policy and research needs for adapting to these changes. International research and monitoring at the scale of large marine ecosystems (LMEs) is the basis of all policy measures for adapting to climate change. Several measures need to be combined, taking into account the various socio-ecological aspects of fisheries and scales of ecosystems. Such measures of adaptation should be incorporated also into the cross-sector coordination system and the Integrated Management Plan, which were established to manage the World Heritage area. Also, culture is an important part of society, and the World Heritage programme may offer clues for creating a new and peaceful culture based on the LME.

A tourism satellite account (TSA) is a synthetic statistical operation closely linked to the central core of a country's national accounts, placing an emphasis on tourism activity. It isolates the various items making up economic tourism activity from the universe of national accounts in order to: specify the impact and describe the direct and indirect effects of tourism on the economy; quantify the overall impact of tourism; analyse the relationships between tourism and the rest of the economy; and make it possible to use major qualitative parameters in analysing tourism activity – place of residence, sex, income, duration of stay, etc. This report outlines the efforts of the World Tourism Organization (WTO) to develop a flexible and sustainable framework for the national and international implementation of TSAs.

Naturally, Cat Ba and Long Chau archipelagos are pertaining to the islands in Ha Long bay (HLB) and Bai Tu Long bay (BTLB) to form a ‘unique cluster of limestone islands’ not only in Vietnam’s sea but also overworld with recognized global and national heritage values. However, the limestone islands cluster has been separated by two administratively different subjects: Cat Ba and Long Chau archipelagos are belonging to Haiphong city, and HLB - BTLB are to Quang Ninh province. The HLB has been approved by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage in 1994, and the Profile of ‘Cat Ba-Long Chau World Natural Heritage’ has been developed by Haiphong city and submitted by Vietnam Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism to the UNESCO for consideration only in 2014. In 2003, the meeting report of UNESCO with stakeholders about the world natural heritages which proposed the HLB world natural heritage should be expanded, including Cat Ba archipelago in Haiphong city. Thus, with geographical characteristic, the similarity of limestone islands integrity and institutionally, the UNESCO has no precedent to approve the submitted profile of Vietnam regarding to proposal to develop ‘Cat Ba-Long Chau World Natural Heritage’.     From the national viewpoint, the above-mentioned limestone islands cluster includes unique, multiple-use and connectivity with compared advantages of conservative values and potentials for conservation-based economy development, bring prosperously and sustainability for not only Quangninh province and Haiphong city, but also for the country and mankind. Therefore, from an integrated approach, according to Vietnam’s proposal, in 2015 the ‘HLB – Catba limestone island marine area’ has been approved by CBD Secretariat’s meeting in Xiamen (China) as an ‘Ecologically and Biologically Significance Marine Area’ (EBSA). The expansion of Halong Bay World Natural Heritage includes all limestone islands in the coastal waters has been recommended together institutional aspects to manage the limestone islands in an integrated manner.

The potential of an allelopathic plant to exert direct and indirect effects depends in large part on the chemistry of the plant and whether putative allelochemicals reach meaningful levels in the environment surrounding the plant. Cleome viscosa L. (Capparidaceae) (synonym: C. icosandra L.) is a weed distributedthroughout the tropics of the world and the plains of India Results on the qualitative analysis on the root, stem and leaves of C. viscosa showed that the presence of saponins and flavonoids in all their three organs. The presence of alkaloids was noticed only in Wagner's test not in the Mayor's and Dragendorff's test. GC-MSresults of whole plant of C.viscosa showed the presence 3-O-Methyl-d-glucose (73%), followed by Benzofuran,2,3-dihydro (9.844%) and : n-Hexadecanoic acid (4.707%) of the total 32 compounds.
