Fishing production dramatically increase through the century peaking in late 1980s. At this time there were major declines in several fish populations in different areas of the world. The catch reported by governments is in some cases adjusted to correct for likely errors in data.

Spotted during a surveillance flight Monday, manatees are taking refuge from the cold weather in a mitigation feature built by SFWMD just south of Port of the Islands in Collier County.
Completed in April 2016, the three deep pools ensure the local manatee population continues to have a warm water refuge in the Port of the Islands area that’s compatible with restoration efforts at Picayune Strand. When complete, the CERP project will re-establish a more natural flow of water to 55,000 acres of wetlands and uplands in the Western Everglades.

This poster sets out a proposed assessment framework for understanding and using ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA). It says that a common understanding among policy makers and practitioners abut what qualifies as EbA will help to avoid 'business-as-usual' approaches.
The poster defines EbA as the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of an overall strategy to help people adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. It sets out three elements and five qualification criteria for EbA. It poster also illustrates five out of a proposed 20 quality standards and their indicators.
This poster is published by GIZ, IUCN and IIED on behalf of the Friends of EBA (FEBA), an informal network of organisations interested in promoting collaboration on EBA. The poster is for display at the 11th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation (CBA10) in Kampala, Uganda from 26-29 June 2017.

Teachers view image of large tree cookie, cross-cut section showing fire history. QUINCY, Calif., November 7, 2017 — For Immediate Release. Plumas Unified School District (PUSD) science teachers are using an exciting new fire science curriculum to ignite students’ passion for science. The Sierra Nevada FireWorks curriculum about the science of wildland fire was developed as a collaboration among PUSD, Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory (of the U.S. Forest Service’s Rocky Mountain Research Station), and the Plumas National Forest. While the curriculum for the Sierra Nevada is brand new, many activities were adapted from the original FireWorks educational program, published in 2000.
The new curriculum has been pilot-tested in many science classes and is now available for free online at www.frames.gov/fireworks/curriculum/sierra-nevada. Many activities require associated materials such as posters, hardware, and plant specimens. Digital materials can be downloaded and printed from the website, while other materials are available in FireWorks trunks. Trunks of materials have been provided to teachers at PUSD school sites.
FireWorks is a valuable tool to all educators, interpreters, and fire prevention specialists. Activities provide students with interactive, hands-on materials to study wildland fire and local ecology. Many of the activities are applicable wherever wildland fires occur, however, many are specialized for the Sierra Nevada.
To get a flavor for what takes place in the classroom: students learn how ladder fuels affect fire spread from the forest floor to the tops of trees in the Tinker Tree Derby. Students design model trees using metal stands and newspaper ‘leaves’ and then light a fire beneath their tree. Winning trees survive the fire with plenty of unburned leaves so they can still photosynthesize. Experiments with the Matchstick Forest Model examine how slope, density of trees, and other variables affect fire spread.
Rob Wade, PUSD outdoor educator has this to say about FireWorks, “It has been a great experience working with the team during the past couple of years. They really have transformed this idea into a meaningful, relevant curriculum for our teachers. We couldn’t be more pleased and are excited to integrate it district-wide this year.”

Ilana Abrahamson, Ecologist with Missoula Fire Sciences Lab added, “This program offers exciting,
hands-on activities for students to learn about Sierra Nevada ecosystems and the role of wildland
fire. It resulted from a rewarding collaboration, and PUSD teachers provided valuable feedback
about the activities and instruction. The result is a fun and robust program for educators and students
to use throughout the Sierra Nevada.”

Spent all day on a marathon photo shoot. 15 hours Sunrise to Sunset. 15 photo locations. Shot 170 images. Hauled 25 pounds of photo gear in the car, then never switched from the 18-135 Canon zoom I use 90 percent of the time.
Drove 320 miles in the Colorado mountains with Debbie (who painted) and Poppyseed (who slept).
Light overcast, great for driving. Stay tuned for the rest of the trip over the next week or so.

Humans...on top of the food chain.These are Adivasis(Forest Dwellers),who live off the forest.Here they come on construction work.But the amazing part is it is a 2 hours hike up the treacherous mountain path one way and then back in the evening to their homes below.Life is a struggle as for all living things here.As they say, survival of the fittest.!

UNEP, in coordination with North Darfur state government, hosted a 3-day training on Ecosystems-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) in May 2015. As part of UNEPs Wadi El Ku Catchment Management Project in Darfur, this training included raising the profile of Eco-DRR and its importance among stakeholders, demonstrating links between Eco-DRR and natural resource management, and sharing global lessons learned on these issues.
