Extractions: COURSES VISITING STUDENTS POLICIES JOBS HOW TO APPLY ... CONTACT US Endangered Seas: Exploring the Coral Reefs of Hawai'i Coral reefs are the rainforests of the sea, comprising just 0.2% of the ocean floor, but containing approximately 25% of the ocean's species. In this ten day course, students will participate in an intensive, hands-on study of the reefs of the Big Island of Hawai'i. The course will take a multi-disciplinary approach, combining issues of westernization, colonization and associated impacts on the socio-cultural landscapes with an empirical look at the geology and biology of the unique reef ecosystem. Around the world, coral reefs are dying at an alarming rate. The estimates in the Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2000 report that 27% of the world's reefs have been effectively lost, including 16% which were severely damaged during the massive El Nino and La Nina climate changes of 1998. Another 14% are predicted to be destroyed in 2 to 10 years, and a further 18% in 10 to 30 years unless effective management of these valuable resources is implemented soon. In this course, students will get a first-hand look at the unique reef systems on the Big Island. Students will:

CSI Whales Alive! Vol. VII No. 4 Where Is All The Marine Life?
Where Is All The marine life? by William Rossiter, CSI President of exploitive pressures at the Convention on International Trade in endangered Species
http://csiwhalesalive.org/csi98408.html

Extractions: In August the World Wildlife Fund for Nature and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature reported that worldwide fisheries were severely depleted from catches 155% above sustainable levels, and that without a cut of two thirds of the total fishing fleet the overall industry would be devastated. The report was prepared for a UN fishing nations meeting in Rome this October. One solution reportedly successful in Iceland, Australia and New Zealand is to issue tradable fishing rights for a percentage of a catch. Another, practiced in the United States, is for governments to purchase boats, gear or permits, reselling the boats to different markets, and train workers in new careers. Japan imports 30% of the global commercial fisheries production, largely caught with massive Japanese fishing fleets scouring the world's oceans. "Japan's Strategy to Control the World's Living Marine Resources" is a startling resource from the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Eastern Caribbean Coalition for Environmental Awareness. Japan has invested millions of dollars in economically weak, developing nations in a "vote consolidation operation", funding International Whaling Commission memberships, fish processing plants, and marine related development. The results include blatant block voting on Japan's behalf at the recent IWC meetings, massive over fishing within economic zones and the open ocean by Japanese fleets, and a surge of exploitive pressures at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Convention on Biodiversity.

Extractions: CASE BILL AIMS TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS DOMESTICALLY AND WORLDWIDE Measure would prohibit import, export and take of threatened coral reef species except under integrated, sustainable, nondestructive management plans July 26 Washington, D.C. - Congressman Ed Case (Hawaii, Second District) last Thursday introduced a bill to preserve and protect coral reef ecosystems from private and commercial activities threatening coral and reef fish species in U.S. waters and around the world. H.R. 4928, the Coral Reef Conservation and Protection Act of 2004, would prohibit collection or interstate commerce of certain coral reef species in waters under U.S. jurisdiction as well as the import of such species except under strict conditions. "This bill establishes what has been absent for way too long: a comprehensive strategy for the domestic and international protection of our world's coral reef ecosystems, which are the marine equivalent of our tropical rainforests, supporting thousands of fish, invertebrates, algae, plankton, sea grasses and other species," said Case, a member of the U.S. House Oceans Caucus.

Extractions: Accidental Deaths of Hundreds of Thousands of Sea Turtles, Whales, Dolphins and Juvenile Fish Could Be Prevented WASHINGTON - As the world prepared to observe Earth Day, World Wildlife Fund and its partners in the International Smart Gear Competition announced three new winning solutions to prevent the accidental maiming and killing of marine mammals, juvenile fish, and sea turtles that become ensnared by fishing nets and longlines - a problem known as bycatch - while also improving the efficiency of commercial fishing. "These solutions safeguard our living oceans," said Carter Roberts, president and CEO-elect, World Wildlife Fund. "When World Wildlife Fund began the Smart Gear competition, we looked for real-world solutions to protect the fantastic variety of marine life, increase efficiency and profitability for fishermen, and preserve the bounty of the sea for future generations. Today, I'm happy to announce our competition reeled in three promising innovations." These three practical solutions are the inventions of a former high-school biology teacher and commercial fisherman; a North American team who tinkered with the chemical properties of fishing ropes and nets; and a team of Indian scientists familiar with the challenges of changing fishing practices and technologies in a developing country.

Extractions: The world's first Census of Marine Life (CoML) a massive international collaboration to catalog and map marine species worldwide shows rapid, ongoing discovery of new ocean life, according to a November 23 Census press release. The census database has assembled more than 5.2 million new and existing records that map the distribution of 38,000 marine species, an exponential increase from 1.1 million records and 25,000 species available at this time in 2003. Support for the census comes from government agencies concerned with science, environment and fisheries and from private foundations and companies. The census is associated with intergovernmental international organizations such as the U.N. Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, the U.N. Environment Programme, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas. Launched in 2000 and running through 2010, the $1 billion census involves hundreds of researchers and institutions from more than 70 countries, pooling skills and tools to assess the diversity, distribution and abundance of ocean life over time. In 2004, the census grew from 10 to 13 projects, detailed online at

Greek version home about the Kit Background information MEDITERRANEAN: AN ENDANGERED SEA The Mediterranean, a sea that has given rise to civilisations and religions, was the stage where exchanges, conflicts and developments took place and continue to do so to this day. If its people do not care for it, it is in danger of losing its incomparable natural wealth. The reason is the irresponsible use by not only the 300 million who inhabit its shores but also by the millions of visitors who flood its coasts, constituting a huge tourist industry. The Mediterranean sea belongs to its marine life as well as to humans. Whether the natural environment of the Mediterranean will be able to overcome the huge difficulties that it faces, depends on our actions alone.

Extractions: The North Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered large whales in the world, with only about 300 individuals left of the species. We cannot afford to lose a single whale because of human causes. During 2004, 17 whales, including six North Atlantic right whales, were entangled when they encountered fishing gear in their ocean habitat along the U.S. East Coast. In an effort to eliminate potentially deadly entanglements, the National Marine Fisheries Service (the agency responsible for protecting whales) is taking public comments on proposed alternatives to improve the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction Plan-a strategy required by the Marine Mammal Protection Act.

The entire Gray Whale population migrates past the Monterey coastline every winter and spring. These whales have one of the longest animal migrations known, traveling over 12,000 miles from their summer feeding grounds in the Bering Sea to their winter breeding grounds in Baja California and back again. Gray Whales have come back from the brink of extinction and now number over 25,000 individuals and have recently been taken off the endangered species list. Gray Whales are easily observed as they hug the coastline during migration. Gray Whales are present off Monterey from December through May. Off Monterey, Gray Whales migrate south from December through mid February, with peak numbers occurring during mid January. Whales migrate north from mid February through May, peaking during mid March. Most adult and juvenile whales pass Monterey on their way to Alaska by mid April. Mother gray whales with their newly born calves pass Monterey during April and May. The mother/calf pairs are most susceptible to Killer Whale attacks in the Bay during this period. Gray Whales reach lengths of 45', are generally gray in color with white mottling, and have many barnacles and whale lice embedded in their skin. They migrate slowly, at about 2-5 miles/hr, and generally blow 3-5 times before fluking up and diving for 2-7 minutes. During this migration they occasionally breach, spyhop, and mate with other Grays. They travel singly or in pods ranging from 2 to 10 whales.

In view of the world's economic plight, is it reasonable to expect people worried about their own welfare to support conservation schemes, however noble they may be? "It's certainly not easy being green in most of sub-Saharan Africa, where millions of people face political upheaval, tribal warfare, famine and epidemic disease," comments Time. The same is true elsewhere. Radical changes are necessary if the problem of endangered species is to be solved. According to The Atlas of Endangered Species, these changes are "of such magnitude that they can only be made by governments." It then recommends: "Where governments are elected, it is the responsibility of each individual to ensure that by the year 2000 only politicians sensitive to the environment are elected." Is this a realistic prospect? Judging by the testimony of history, we must conclude that "man has dominated man to his injury"—and wildlife as well. (Ecclesiastes 8:9) Indeed, many conservationists believe that earth's flora and fauna serve as environmental indicators. When these are endangered, so are we humans. But this is not the first time in human history that all earth's life has been threatened with extinction.
