The North Sea: from wild nature to a managed underwater mosaic landscape?
Added on: 2011-03-21 16:21:43 | | The North Sea has fundamentally changed. Big tuna fish and biologically rich seafloors including native oyster banks have largely disappeared during the last centuries and made room for all kind of human activities (fisheries, shipping, sand and gravel extraction, pollution, etc.) and for highly impacted underwater landscapes. However, the tide seems to be turning and at present about 5.4% of the North Sea is designated as a marine protected area (MPA). From early experience with these MPAs and with the newly installed management regulations that are being prepared in most of the North Sea countries, it appears how crucial scientific knowledge is in monitoring and underpinning a successful management. During the symposium “The North Sea, field lab for marine protection” (Leuven, Belgium, 22 March 2011), an overview of the current state of MPA’s and these research actions will be the central topics. ...
