The Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery In The U.S.And Canada: A Natural Experiment In Fisheries Management Regimes, Robert Repetto Jan 2001

The Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery In The U.S.And Canada: A Natural Experiment In Fisheries Management Regimes, Robert Repetto

Yale School of the Environment Publications Series

The Atlantic sea scallop fisheries in the U.S. and Canadian offshore waters provide a natural experiment in fisheries management regimes. Starting in 1986, in side by side areas of George’s Bank, Canada adopted a rights-based approach while the U.S. continued with effort controls. Analysis of their experiences shows that the resource has been better maintained in Canada with lower fishing effort, that the Canadian fishing industry has become more prosperous and innovative relative to that in the U.S., and that the Canadian co-management regime is more cooperative. These results suggest that systematic evaluation of actual experience with rights-based fishery management …

Hazardous Waste Management: A View From The States, Melissa Armbrister Jan 2001

Hazardous Waste Management: A View From The States, Melissa Armbrister

All Volumes (2001-2008)

Clearly, hazardous waste management represents a formidable task for policy makers at all levels of government. Of course, eliminating waste requires facilities for disposal; this is perhaps the most controversial aspect of the hazardous waste management debate. At the local level, counties and municipalities are routinely engaged in battles in which they are trying to impose these unwanted facilities on their neighbors. The state is often forced to step in and play a central role in resolving the conflict. Over the last several decades, several authors have sought to determine to what degree of importance the public places on improving …

Evaluation Of In Situ Bioremediation Approaches In Meeting International Standards For Organic And Residual Metals Toxicity In Soils, Jason Allan Mcdonald Jan 2001

Evaluation Of In Situ Bioremediation Approaches In Meeting International Standards For Organic And Residual Metals Toxicity In Soils, Jason Allan Mcdonald

LSU Master's Theses

Drilling fluids and muds are an essential component of the rotary drilling process used to drill for oil and gas on land and in offshore environments. However, the bioaccumulation of petroleum contaminated soils/drilling mud due to oil and natural gas exploration has posed a major environmental concern due to its prolonged environmental persistence and its leachability below the rhizosphere. The main objectives of this research were: (i) To assess initial toxicity of drilling mud and related contaminated soils from an agricultural setting in Galliano, Sicily (Phase one) and (ii) To develop a low intervention bioremediation approach using bioplug technology to …

Evolving Tenure Rights And Agricultural Intensification In Southwestern Burkina Faso, Michael Kevane, Leslie C. Gray Jan 2001

Evolving Tenure Rights And Agricultural Intensification In Southwestern Burkina Faso, Michael Kevane, Leslie C. Gray

Economics

Popular and official representations of the environment in Burkina Faso present soils as fragile and potentially subject to catastrophic collapse in fertility. In the cotton growing zone of southwestern Burkina Faso, researchers and policy makers attribute changes in land cover and land quality to population growth. This paper presents evidence questioning the dominant "population-degradation narrative" as applied to Burkina. We find that farmers are intensifying their production systems. While population has led to land scarcity, farmers are responding to both the resulting uncertainty in land rights and reductions in soil quality by intensifying the production process. Investments are used both …

The Selection Of Narrow Wavebands For Optimizing Water Quality Monitoring On The Great Miami River, Ohio Using Hyperspectral Remote Sensor Data Jan 2001

The Selection Of Narrow Wavebands For Optimizing Water Quality Monitoring On The Great Miami River, Ohio Using Hyperspectral Remote Sensor Data

Journal of Spatial Hydrology

Remote sensing data were successfully used to estimate spatial and temporal variation of optical water quality parameters such as chlorophyll a, turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) of the Great Miami River, Ohio. During the summer of 1999, spectral data were collected with a hand-held spectroradiometer, a laboratory spectrometer and airborne hyperspectral sensors. Approximately 80 km of the Great Miami River were imaged during a flyover with a Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) sensor. Approximately 10 km were imaged during a second flyover to repeat coverage of the urban and industrial influences around the city of Dayton, Ohio. Instream measurements …
