The Regulations establish a Research and Development Corporation in respect of the industry concerned with the conservation, and sustainable use and management, of land resources and water resources. (5 regulations)

Repealed by: Land and Water Resources Research and Development Corporation (Repeal and Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2009 (SLI No. 349 of 2009). (2009-12-14)

These Regulations amend the principal Regulations of 1994 by updating a reference to Community legislation and by adjusting the annual rate payable on land set aside and which is covered by undertakings of farmers on land management in nitrate sensitive areas. The 1994 Regulations were made pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) 2078/92 and implemented in part a zonal programme approved thereunder. This Regulation has been amended twice, namely by Commission Regulation 746/96 and Commission Regulation 435/97.

La présente loi énonce des règles concernant la prévention et la réduction intégrées de la pollution due aux activités industrielles. Elle prévoit également des règles visant à éviter ou, lorsque cela s’avère impossible, à réduire les émissions dans l’air, l’eau et le sol, et à empêcher la production de déchets, afin d’atteindre un niveau élevé de protection de l’environnement considéré dans son ensemble.

Le PAN, contrairement aux autres programmes antérieurs de lutte contre la dégradation des terres, présente une tonalité originale découlant, d’une part, de son caractère d’instrument de mise en œuvre d’un accord international et, d’autre part, des principes directeurs qui sous-tendront le processus de sa mise en œuvre à savoir le partenariat, la participation effective de tous les acteurs et l’appréhension du problème de dégradation des terres dans son ensemble.Son objectif global est de contribuer au processus de développement durable du pays à travers le renforcement des capacités nationa

Land Tenure Working Paper 21. This paper draws on proceedings of a meeting held to discuss the impact of growing private sector investments in land, fisheries and forests. This meeting, aimed at the private sector, took place at FAO headquarters on 28 February and 1 March 2011. The purpose of this paper is to provide a record of the discussion from the private sector perspective. The first section provides the context which led to the workshop concept.

This document assembles three reviews of the marine shrimp and groundfish fisheries of the Brazil-Guianas shelf (northern Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and eastern Venezuela) and one on environmental aspects of the area. The resources reviews are based on technical reports prepared prior to and during the Workshop in Cumaná, Venezuela and during previous meetings of the stock assessment experts of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Working Group on Shrimp and Groundfish Resources in the Brazil-Guianas Shelf.

Mountains of the world cover about one-fifth of the land surface, are home to one-tenth of the world's population, and provide livelihood to some of the poorest communities in the world. Mountain lakes and streams are a source of freshwater for countless riparian human communities, support industries, provide water for irrigation and hydropower electricity production and for fish.

The main goal of biomanipulation by fish reduction is not a change in the fish community but a change in the aquatic ecosystem. Fish reduction is a method to push the system in another state, usually a shift from algae domination to macrophyte domination. Intensive fish removal is done by one of the following methods: seining (the Netherlands, Germany, UK), trawling (Sweden, Finland), use of rotenone (Norway, USA, Poland) and stocking of piscivorous fish (USA, Germany). If circumstances allow it (reservoir, ponds) draining is combined with seining (the Netherlands, UK, Poland).
