Issue 35 | Blue Pulse: Marine Conservation Bulletin

日期:

Regulation is the permanent keyword of marine conservation and governance. Issue 35 focuses on regulation, presenting suggestions, critiques, and case studies from society and academia on government regulation in terms of regulation approach, regulation intensity, and regulatory decision-making.

导语 Introduction

关键点一

2009年,埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆凭借她自己的公共治理思想中的自主治理理论获得诺贝尔经济学奖。在哥本哈根气候大会溃败之后,不少国际制度的研究者开始从她的“多中心治理”理论中寻求全球环境治理的解决方案。本期的学术板块中收录了一篇基于多中心治理理论讨论公海生物多样性制度的文章。文章强调了谈判中的公海生物多样性协定(BBNJ)一旦生效可以对公海的治理产生的促进作用,使之能够有效回应公海日益增长的压力、不确定性和快速变化。

Highlight 1

In 2009, Elinor Ostrom was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons. In the wake of the debacle at the Copenhagen Climate Conference, many researchers of international regimes have begun to look to her theory of 'polycentric governance' for solutions to global environmental governance. This issue's Academic section includes a paper discussing the high seas biodiversity regime based on the theory of polycentric governance. The paper highlights the contribution that the high seas biodiversity (BBNJ) agreement currently being negotiated, once come into force, could enable the governance of the high seas to respond effectively to the growing pressures, uncertainties, and rapid changes.

关键点二

现代渔业管理就是一场管理效率追赶捕捞效率的比赛。二者之间的差距在一些发展中国家会特别明显。本期观点版块中有一篇针对巴西渔业管理的批评。缺乏数据和缺乏风险预防的方法是其受诟病的主要缺陷。而解读版块中收录的关于中国总可捕量控制试点的经验则正好从另一个角度展示出值得努力的方向和值得学习的经验教训。详细的报告在“其他资料”中可以下载。

Highlight 2

Modern fisheries management is a race for management efficiency to catch up with fishing efficiency. The gap between the two can be particularly pronounced in some developing countries. This issue's Perspective section includes a critique of Brazil's fisheries management. The lack of data and the lack of precautionary approach are the main flaws for which it is criticized. In the Interpretation section, the experience of China's pilots of total allowable catch (TAC), shows what is worth working towards and what lessons can be learned. The detailed report could be downloaded in the Other Resources section.

1) Francois Mosnier"如果能将全球用于有害渔业补贴金额的百分之一用于船上监测,增加有渔业观察员监测下的野生捕捞的比例,可以有意义地对减少非法捕捞和兼捕产生的影响。渔业观察员是部署在商业渔船上的独立专家,负责收集渔获量以及弃鱼、兼捕和海上转运的数据。收集有关渔获、兼捕、捕捞强度和遵守法律法规及履约信息,是确保渔业可持续性的关键。"

Francois Mosnier:"If one percent of global harmful fisheries subsidies were redirected to onboard monitoring, the proportion of wild-catch fishing monitored by observers could create a meaningful impact in reducing illegal fishing and bycatch. Fisheries observers are independent specialists placed onboard commercial fishing vessels to collect data on catch volumes as well as discards, bycatch, and transshipments at sea. Gathering information on catch, bycatch, fishing effort, and compliance with regulations is key to securing the sustainability of fisheries."

2) Beatrice Padovan: 缺乏丰富的渔业部门数据和对相关信息技术的漠视,阻碍了巴西的渔业管理。"一个不知道自己捞了什么鱼,捞了多少鱼的国家,在管理上会存在极强的不确定性。渔业管理应该基于详实的数据和预防性原则,而不是盲目的乐观主义"。

Beatrice Padovan: The lack of productive statistics from the sector and disregard for relevant technical information hinder the control of fisheries in Brazil. “A country that does not know what it fishes is subject to great uncertainties in management, which should be conducted based on the precautionary principle. The fishery cannot follow a 'permissiveness by optimism' [principle].”

3) Pew Charitable Trust:8月10日,美国参议院批准了基础设施投资和就业法案。如果法案被众议院批准并签署为法律,该法案将首次为建造野生动物通道提供专有资源,例如将向各州、地方政府和部落提供 10 亿美元的赠款(在五年内平均分配),用于修复或拆除涵洞,以改善濒危或受威胁鱼类的通道。

Pew Charitable Trust: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was approved by the U.S. Senate on Aug. 10. If approved by the House of Representatives and signed into law, the act would provide $1 billion—spread equally over five years—in grants to states, local governments, and tribes to repair or remove culverts to improve passage for endangered or threatened fish.

4) Victoria Fulfer & Susanne Menden-Deuer:塑料污染不仅仅对大型海洋动物有影响。甲藻这样的单细胞的海洋微生物也会摄入微塑料,而摄入微塑料会限制它们的生长,进而影响甲藻的丰度,最终影响到以这些微小生物为食的大型海洋动物。

Victoria Fulfer & Susanne Menden-Deuer: Plastic pollution is not just a problem for larger marine animals. Dinoflagellates, which are single-celled marine predators, can also ingest microplastic which in turn limits their growth and consequently their overall abundance. Consequently, this will have an impact on the larger marine animals that feed on these tiny creatures.

Laly Lichtenfeld:“Worldwide concern about injustice and inequity, the impacts of the pandemic, and the worsening effects of global environmental degradation has accelerated change in the conservation sector. It's time to scrutinize who's in the room when conservation decisions are made. Understanding and overcoming the power dynamics at play, and considering how we can better communicate with and listen to one another.”

1) 中外对话:绿色航运是否喷薄欲出?

China Dialogue: Is green shipping on the horizon?

发展绿色航运对减少全球的碳排放量至关重要。尽管有一些好的信号,但绿色航运的发展仍任重道远。负责排放监管工作的国际海事组织(IMO)长期被批评缺乏强硬的措施来抑制排放,以及用一些无效的短期措施来拖延问题的解决。好消息是各国政府在发展绿色航运上有更大的雄心,欧盟投票决定从2022年起将海运二氧化碳排放纳入排放交易计划,明年年初起,欧洲航线上的船东们必须购买碳排放许可,以抵补碳排放。美国也首次将航运排放纳入了提交给联合国的新版气候计划。

The development of green shipping is vital to reduce global carbon emissions. Despite some positive signs, green shipping still has a long way to go. The International Maritime Organization (IMO), which is responsible for shipping emission regulation, has long been criticized for its lack of tough measures to curb emissions and for delaying the problem with ineffective, short-term measures. The good news is that governments are more ambitious in developing green shipping. European Union voted to include maritime CO2 emissions in an emissions trading scheme from 2022. From the start of next year, shipowners on European routes will be forced to buy carbon permits to cover carbon emissions. The U.S. also included shipping emissions for the first time in its updated climate plan submitted to the UN.

Environmental Defensive Fund: Blue Carbon: a diamond in the rough

海洋在全球碳处理和储存方面发挥着至关重要的作用,但它却也是利用最少的地方之一。可被视为 "自然气候解决方案 "的蓝碳工作主有三个主要部分:沿海湿地的管理、修复和提高;大型藻类的修复、增长和养殖;以及可从根本上改善其碳前景的近海海洋生态系统管理的新方法。

The ocean plays a major role in global carbon processing and storage, but it's also among the least utilized. The three main buckets of Blue Carbon work that can be considered "natural climate solutions" include: coastal wetland stewardship, restoration, and enhancement; macroalgal restoration, enhancement, and farming; and new approaches to offshore ocean ecosystem management that could radically improve its carbon prospects.

3) Pew Charitable Trust:关于公海保护,我们需要了解什么

Pew Charitable Trust:What You Need to Know and Do to Protect the High Seas

公海治理存在许多挑战:缺少建立综合的公海海洋保护区的法律机制,也缺少为在国家管辖范围以外的水域发生的活动进行环境影响评估的全球框架。BBNJ条约可以填补关键的治理空白,使公海海洋保护区得以建立。

There are several challenges in high seas governance: There is no legal mechanism for establishing comprehensive marine protected areas on the high seas, and there is no global framework for conducting environmental impact assessments for activities taking place in these waters beyond national jurisdiction. The BBNJ treaty can fill key governance gaps and enable high seas marine protected areas to be established.

4) Our Shared Seas: 为什么保护30%的海洋的成功取决于好水质

Our Shared Seas: Why 30×30 Success Depends on Good Water Quality

糟糕的水质是对海洋和沿岸生态系统健康和恢复力的首要威胁,废水污染正在使沿海水质变差,并影响许多地方的海洋生态系统健康,包括海洋保护区(MPA)内的生态系统。解决废水污染的紧迫性只会随着气候变化而增加,越来越多的证据表明这两种威胁会相互加重。保护水质最好的方法就是预防。废水和生活污水污染是可以避免的。

Poor water quality is a top threat to marine and coastal ecosystem health and resilience, and wastewater pollution is driving coastal water quality declines and affecting marine ecosystem health in many places, including within marine protected areas (MPAs). The urgency of addressing wastewater pollution is only increasing with climate change, as accumulating evidence shows that the two threats compound one another. Water quality is best protected through prevention, and wastewater and sewage pollution are avoidable.

6) 中国海洋研究发展中心:国家海洋生态文明建设示范区:长岛综合试验区和青岛市初步评估与展望

Academic of Ocean of China: National Marine Ecological Civilization Construction Demonstration Zone: Preliminary Assessment and Prospects of Changdao Comprehensive Experimental Zone and Qingdao City

长岛和青岛市都已达到海洋生态文明建设示范区的较高水平。其中长岛遵循生态文明建设的“绿色发展模式”,一方面推进生态保护修复工程和各类自然保护区体系建设,另一方面推行生态立体化生物养殖,使得长岛海洋生物多样性丰富且基本稳定。青岛市从区域整体性生态文明建设和社会主义现代化建设的层次来思考海洋生态文明建设,青岛市的海洋管理制度建设已经发展为我国海洋生态文明建设的标杆。

Both Changdao and Qingdao City have reached a high level of development as marine ecological civilization construction demonstration areas. Changdao follows the "green development model" of ecological civilization construction. On the one hand, it promotes ecological protection and restoration projects, and various nature reserve systems and implements ecological vertical aquaculture on the other hand. These measures secure a rich and stable marine biodiversity in Changdao. Qingdao City promotes the construction of marine ecological civilization from the aspect of regional holistic development and socialist modernization. Its marine management system has become a benchmark for marine ecological civilization construction in China.

3) 【海洋治理】 综合海洋管理的综合研究

【Ocean Governance】Integrated Research for Integrated Ocean Management

多方面和多用途的生态系统监管对地方政府一直极具挑战,大多因为沿岸和海洋社会生态系统(SES)的复杂性、管理方法的多样性、以及经济活动和自然保护之间经常发生的利益冲突。解决这些问题需要采取综合性方法,弥补科学、政策和社会之间的差距,并跨越不同管理方法的认知界限。我们提出了综合研究方法的三个关键考虑因素,包括(1)目标设定、资源管理和适应性规划;(2)知识生产和对政策和社会的回应;以及(3)共同设计、共同开发、合作以及有效沟通。本文提出的考虑因素旨在科学、政策和社会之间的有效转化,以支持海洋科学十年内的可持续沿海和海洋治理。

5) 【气候·海洋】全球海洋变暖开始的时间晚于原先的判断

【Climate & Ocean】Global ocean warming started later in the 20th century than previously estimated

地球能量不平衡的历史演变可以通过全球海洋热含量的变化来量化。然而,由于对2000米以下海洋温度的观测极少,对海洋热含量的历史数据推演往往忽略了大范围的深海。我们在模型中对最大深度海洋热含量历史变化进行重建,发现在20世纪后半叶的大部分时间里,地球能量预算在-0.16到0.06Wm-2范围内大致平衡,而在过去的三十年中,海洋变暖的速度迅速加快。这说明与之前的判断相比,全球海洋变暖开始的时间要晚一些。
