The Role Of Fisheries, Tourist Operators And Other Stakeholders Towards Sustainable Development Of Coastal Areas

These strategies are sustainable and appropriate however more immediate action should be taken based on visitors’ opinions and beliefs. Coastal management strategies are simply requirement strategies like council clean ups, and does not include necessary updates and improvements in facilities and stores. This beach is lacking in short and long term major improvement plans as it’s an undervalued beach in contrast to more populated beaches. Councils and governments are putting off major plans for a small town beach which is the reason for its slow upgrade time period and lack of serious management.

Economic activity and our environment have been closely linked since man first discovered the concept of trade. In the language of economics, the environment has itself, become an increasingly “scarce resource1”. Since economics is about managing these scarce resources, it will be a useful tool when considering some of the environmental issues facing our planet. One of the major concerns confronting the environment today is the overfishing of the world’s oceans, depleting some species to near extinction. With continued advances in technological and industrial proficiency, fishing vessels are able to fish across the globe, further exacerbating the effects of overfishing. Because the oceans are considered a shared or common

The aim of this report is to investigate Long Reef and Collaroy Beach’s coastal management.

Coastal Management in Hastings is effective economically, socially, environmentally and is sustainable for the future.

Tourism plays a significant role in sustainable development and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Tourism Organization (WTO) wish to encourage all countries to make sure that their policies and actions for its development and management fully embrace the principles of sustainability. Likewise, policies to promote sustainable development should take full account of the opportunities offered by tourism. Various international conventions and declarations have put forward principles and guidelines for sustainable tourism and the importance of tourism and its sustainability was underlined at the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development. Many countries declare that they are pursuing, or wish to pursue, policies for ‘sustainable tourism’. Despite this interest, there remains a degree of uncertainty over the scope and priorities for making tourism more sustainable and only partial appreciation of how to put this into practice (Making Tourism More Sustainable, 2005).

One of Udubia’s other main industries is its tourism. The industry is growing as new hotels and cruise ship companies popped up. The hotels require land which decreases an ecosystem size, and the tourists that come pollute the small ecosystems. An article written on dw.com about Easter Island, talks about the negative effects of tourism on the island. “With tourists drawn by the island's famous ancient statues churning out seven tonnes of waste a day, its residents are learning the hard way to recycle. Officials want them to stop throwing their trash indiscriminately into the garbage dump on an island of just 64 square miles” (D.W). The trash impacts the marine animals whose homes are polluted, and whose lives are endangered. “Environmentalists say fishing boats trawling for tuna and marlin in the area dump unwanted nets and plastic that end up on the island's beaches or in the stomachs of sea creatures” (D.W), which leads to the decrease in their populations. Something needs to be done about the land. In Thailand for example, the “government closed down Koh Khai Nok, Koh Khai Nui and Koh Khai Naiin- three popular islands in the coast of Phuket because of the negative impact of tourists in

Preserving coastlines is important for the economy and the environment. The fact that the business world and the preservation world are on the same page is a good indicator that maintaining beaches are important for both people and animals. The data that has been collected by both parties, thus far will hopefully bring a more cost effective and more long term solution for beach replenishment. So the beach bums and the sea life may continue to enjoy one of the most beloved landscape for generations to

British Colombia’s continued flow of tourism depends on a pristine environment, if BC’s environment continues to be harmed by local fish farms tourism will decrease. Profits from salmon farming do not directly benefit British Colombia’s economy; off shore companies in Scandinavia own the majority of fish farms on BC’s coast. Following more strict fish farming regulations in Scandinavia, Norwegian fish farm companies “decided

On the other hand, Varadero Beach has been considered a natural resort from its opening, this means that visitors are allowed as long as they do not threaten the sustainability of the ecosystem present there. Subsequently, this tourist trap keeps Varadero beach at an almost virgin and pristine stage, an asset that seems to gain attention during times where society is more in contact with nature rather than in contact with the crowded and polluted

The area of the environmental regulation that relates closely to my proposed research is The Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA). The CZMA was initiated as an act to preserve, protect, and restore, the resources of the Nation's coastal zone for future generations. This correlates with the restoration and protection of the ecological productivity, and biological diversity of the Apalachicola River. The issues associated with this include loss of freshwater, loss of wetland habitat, and point-source and nonpoint-source pollution.

In the article, “These Communities Turn Discarded Fishing Nets Into Carpets”, Laura Parker explains the impact fishing nets have had on marine life, and how the progress is underway to clean up the ocean from fishing nets and plastic, particularly in the Philippines. According to the article, since 1960’s, the marine life, especially the fishes, and the coral reef have shrunk to the point where there’s zero to none in the area. The area is also home to one of six double barrier reefs in the world. After the fishes started to disappear because of overfishing, more and more fishermen used aggressive techniques to get any fish they possibly could. The result was more and more fishing nets in the ocean, to catch more fish. Since there weren't any

With Hawaii’s economy being dependant on tourism and the main source of employment, it is important for DMOs ensure its attractions and services are maintained. The beaches are Hawaii’s most popular attractions but are in danger due to erosion and pollution. Erosion is a major environmental issue that affects many of Hawaii’s most famous beaches and is a natural phenomenon. However, the building of structures on the coastline and the formation of sea-walls can speed up the affects. This can impact on the marine life, coral reefs and water quality. As the most popular activities for tourists are based in natural surroundings, it is important to not only ensure the safety of tourists but to maintain the natural environment for future generations. In response, Hawaiian DMOs and environmental government organisations work closely to: educate visitors and residents, regulate what activities tourist can and cannot do in specific areas, organise beach clean-ups and plan beach maintenance strategies. Some

In today’s global economy sustainability is very important; from the biological aspect to the industries they all play a role on the marine environment. As world population increases the demand of fish rises causing overfishing. Certain laws have been placed to limit the amount of wild fishing to reduce the risk of endangerment. To meet the demand of the population, fish farms are introduced. Pollution and health related issues are part of the challenges of fish farming. Sustainability also affects social areas such as beaches.

As the world develops and the human population grows there is more pollution being dumped into the oceans, causing major problems to marine life and ecosystems. Major causes of marine pollution involve non-point pollutants, marine garbage, toxic ocean pollutants and sewage disposal in oceans. From heavy metal poisoning including lead and mercury killing predators such as sharks and whales, to waste getting trapped in the digestive tracts of marine animals, this essay focuses on how human interference causes horrifying problems to the marine life, but also how to fix it. It will also explore the normal activities of people including farming and how this can cause an imbalance in an ecosystem. Everyday activities can cause massive nutrient

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to develop and test a conceptual framework for sustainable development in tourism industry context to address the integration of social, economic, and ecological elements of sustainable development and the contextual nature of sustainable development. Resource-based view theory was used to model the driving force, state and response indicators of sustainability development for tourism industry. Data was collected
