U S Secretary Commerce Fisheries Commercial Fishing Arctic

shared by bds4us 123 on 03 Sep 09 - Snapshot
  • The plan governs any future commercial fishing for finfish and shellfish in federal waters, except Pacific salmon and Pacific halibut, which are managed under other authorities. It does not affect fisheries for salmon, whitefish and shellfish in Alaskan waters near the Arctic shore. The fishery management plan also does not affect subsistence fishing or hunting in the Arctic.

  • Under the plan, in any new Arctic fisheries that may be approved in the future:


    • Fishermen will be required to keep records that will help determine catch, production, effort, price, and other information necessary for conservation and management
    • Fishermen may be required to carry certified fisheries observers on board in order to verify catch quantity and composition, track at-sea discards, and collect biological information on marine resources

ozone atmosphere cfc's nitrus oxide depleting

shared by bds4us 123 on 03 Sep 09 - Snapshot
  • Though the role of nitrous oxide in ozone depletion has been known for several decades, the new study is the first to explicitly calculate that role using the same measures that have been applied to CFCs, halons and other chlorine- and bromine-containing ozone-depleting substances.
  • Nitrous oxide is also a greenhouse gas, so reducing its emission from manmade sources would be good for both the ozone layer and climate, the scientists said.

  • Researchers say air temperatures here in northwest Canada, in Siberia and elsewhere in the Arctic have risen more than 4.5 F since 1970 — much faster than the global average. The summer thaw is reaching deeper into frozen soil, at a rate of 1.5 inches a year, and a further 13 F temperature rise is possible this century, says the authoritative, U.N.-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
