land-based pollution

I conclude that, in order to prepare, the Commission be asked to put forward an action plan to reduce land-based pollution.

• appropriate engagement in the management of land-based pollution and coastal development.

They are faced with the chronic stressors of land-based pollution, overfishing and human use.

However, the situation with the bryozoa is not at all clear, whereas observations have shown them to be quite sensitive to land-based pollution.

Land-based pollution, such as sewage, beach erosion, coastal development and overfishing also are to blame.

Fishing is controlled easily whereas land-based pollution is not.

But land-based pollution now causes irreparable damage to thousands of species for whom marine reserves do not provide protection.

They can include other activities such as shipping operations, oil and gas drillings, land-based pollution, and tourism.

Measures are also taken in the whole catchment area of the Baltic Sea to reduce land-based pollution.

Intensive fishing, shipping, land-based pollution and development all have an impact on coastlines and ocean waters.

The sea is in a much more sorry state because it suffers from land-based pollution (mainly from erosion), which has no reciprocal on land.

Moreover, land-based pollution of the seas constitutes a significant proportion of overall maritime pollution.

Barbados-open pit mining operations: A project to reduce the release of land-based pollution into estuaries and the sea, which threatens marine biodiversity.

Negative impacts on the reef originate from developments such as recreational and commercial fishing, growth in the tourism industry, coastal development and land-based pollution.

For example, CEPA will include provisions to protect the marine environment from sources of land-based pollution (habitat protection).

I assume that the Nitrogen Task Force are also working with the treaty bodies that aim to prevent land-based pollution of the seas.

The Team also considered factors such as seismic activities, climate change, oil and gas exploration, ocean dumping, cables and pipelines, marine and land-based pollution.

We don't understand these pressures anywhere near well enough, but we know that siltation, run-off from land-based pollution and destructive fishing methods all have an effect.

D. rufigiensis is decreasing in population due to the threats of illegal fishing, siltation choking its spawning substrate, and land-based pollution.

Therefore, protection of coastal areas from land-based pollution and from reduction of freshwater input into rivers and streams is critical to economic growth.

Land-based pollution forms, including surface run-off that can contain a surplus of nutrients, sediments, pathogens, persistent toxins and oil, can cause changes in the ecosystem.

On the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, declining fish stocks and concerns regarding forestry practices and land-based pollution are also significant.

The Madang Lagoon faces many environmental threats by land-based pollution from a recently opened tuna cannery whose outfall is very close to the lagoon's reefs.

In 1980 the Land-Based Sources Protocol, dealing with land-based pollution of the Mediterranean, was approved and signed.

Nonetheless to ensure the sustainability of the GBR the Authority will need to radically improve its institutional flexibility in relation to land-based pollution problems.
