Mean (± SD) contributions from combined marine resources (salmon and marine mammals) were 28±20% in the inland NAP (salmon only), 35±11% in the coastal NAP, 56±14% in the SAP, and 55±15% on Unimak Island and showed that exploitation of marine resources increased from northeast to southwest along the Alaska Peninsula (Fig. Corresponding Author. Halting the destruction of marine resources especially through acidification. Promoting sustainable exploitation of marine resources.

Harvesting the Sea provides the first systematic treatment of the exploitation of various marine resources, such as large-scale fishing, fish salting, salt and purple-dye production, and oyster and fish-farming, in the Roman world and its role within the ancient economy. The ratio of by-catch to shrimp caught in tropical waters is roughly estimated to be about 10:1.

The rapid growth of the coastal urban centres in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and South Africa, and the fast development of the coastal tourism sector, produce vast quantities of pollution from untreated domestic sewage, posing a threat to the near-shore habitats such as coral reefs. WorldFish, Penang, Malaysia. The ocean is vast and covers 140 million square miles, some 72 per cent of the Earth's surface.

Scientists have long understood that an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will result in higher levels of dissolved CO 2 in seawater. The intensity of direct and incidental exploitation of resources and ecosystems, and the indirect effects of other human activities on the well-being of marine resources, should not exceed levels that compromise the attainment of a sustainable yield. Hampus Eriksson. Over-exploitation of living marine resources through excessive fishing continued to be of grave concern to the international community. Eliminating harmful subsidies that promote fishing overcapacity. In the Arafura Sea, eastern Indonesia, bottom trawling for shrimp is strip-mining the ocean floor.
