Research, knowledge and dialogue.

This study and publication were carried out under the project “Marine Biodiversity Conservation Center “Boka Aquarium” (MonteAqua)”, implemented by the Institute of Marine Biology of the University of Montenegro (IMB) in cooperation with the Center for Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation of Inland Waters, Institute of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac. Study is developed as IMB’s project co-funding.

Conclusions and recommendations

• Eel is highly endangered fish species due to several factors (overfishing of glass eel, yellows and silvers; swimming bladder parasite which originate from Anguilla japonica, habitat loss, riverine connectivity loss) and still is not clear whether some of them are curtail or it is synergetic effect of all of theme or the detected dramatic decrease of eel abundance is related to some climate changes in Atlantic ocean (The North Atlantic Oscillation – NOA) which caused cyclic changes in main Gulf current which is essential for dispersal of eel larvae

• In close future, together with Albanian partners, we have to develop constant monitoring program for monitoring of glass eel immigration and sliver eel emigration from Lake Skadar and to estimate the eel biomass in this Lake in order to understand what is happening with eels in this system

• As soon as possible, together with Albanian partners and based on previously mentioned results of monitoring and findings, we have to produce the Eel Management Plan for Lake Skadar

• In order to regulate downstream migration of silver eels and to satisfied demands of “eel directive” we have to work on regulation and controlling of harvesting of fish trap on Bojana river in Albania during downstream eel migration

• In order to reduce fishing pressure on eel live stock in Lake Skadar we suggest to estimate development of eel farming and using of glass eels and elevers from Bojana delta as fish farm stocking material

• Eel has to be proposed as flagship species for the Lake Skadar Aquarium

• Taking in mind the importance of Lake Skadar as huge eel habitat, eel vulnerability, global threats, biological importance, marketing potential and eel unique and mysterious life cycle as well as unique body shape, we strongly suggest to proclaim eel, together with pelican, for a flagship species of whole Lake Skadar.

Summary

Adriatic fish diversity remains incompletely documented, particularly in the southern basin below 500 m, with some historical records unreliable and new species recorded annually. The reviewed assessments identify numerous threatened species, including 15 Critically Endangered and 15 Endangered species, while European sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) is classified as regionally extinct in the Adriatic.

Fishing, by-catch, habitat degradation, pollution, invasive species and climate change are major pressures. Conservation measures include fishing restrictions, seasonal and spatial closures, and marine protected areas.

The text also highlights flagship species as tools for public awareness and conservation fundraising. John Dory (Zeus faber) was selected as Aquarium Boka’s flagship species through stakeholder consultation, reflecting its distinctive appearance, local importance and high commercial value.

The study reports 449 fish species and subspecies in the Adriatic, while noting unreliable historical records and substantial gaps in knowledge, particularly below 500 m in the southern basin. The reviewed assessments identify 15 Critically Endangered and 15 Endangered species, with European sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) classified as regionally extinct in the Adriatic.

Overfishing and by-catch are major threats, compounded by habitat degradation, pollution, invasive species and climate change. Conservation priorities include further research, fishing restrictions and ecosystem protection through marine protected areas.

Stakeholder consultation selected John Dory (Zeus faber) as Aquarium Boka’s flagship species, recognising its distinctive appearance and local economic importance as assets for raising public awareness and supporting marine biodiversity conservation.

This study and publication were carried out under the project “Marine Biodiversity Conservation Center “Boka Aquarium” (MonteAqua)”, implemented by the Institute of Marine Biology of the University of Montenegro (IMB) in cooperation with the Center for Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation of Inland Waters, Institute of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, and financially supported by The Royal Norwegian Embassy in Belgrade.

Conclusions and recommendation

Very extensive sources of pollution, types and characteristics of pollutants, the range of impacts to marine environment and humans, causes the whole range of measures and recommendations with the aim of reducing additional environmental pressures.

In addition to respecting of international conventions and implementation of best practices in the field of waste reduction, preventive measures in reducing the risk of oil spills, action at local level is of greatest importance. One of the proposed measures is the persistent training of young people and general population, referring to risks of marine pollution to human health and the environment; media support in promoting the preservation of the sea and the ocean as the basis for a healthy and sustainable future. Also, since in many countries there is no legal framework that recognizes specific types of pollution (such as marine litter pollution), the impact on decision-makers and authorities is crucial to seriously and safely addressing pollution issues.

Since marine pollution doesn’t recognize the territorial boundaries, in addition to the importance of reduction of local factors of marine pollution, international cooperation and contribution to the international framework and data sharing have been recognized as an indispensable measure in resolving marine pollution issues.

Background document for the REC’s World Café 2016 at WWW2016; ISBN 978-963-9638-71-6

The World Café at World Water Week 2016 brings together representatives of central and local governments, regional bodies, NGOs, academia and businesses from the region for lively discussions in a pleasant atmosphere, following up on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Focus opening session themes. Participants at the event divided into three working groups. The present background document comprises three articles prepared by experts to address the topics of the three working groups: Governing water for sustainable growth (Group 1); Water-related climate change mitigation and adaptation measures for sustainable growth (Group 2); and Water security action planning for sustainable growth (Group 3).

This manual is a step-by-step guidebook for practitioners who are developing local water security action plans (LWSAPs) in local communities. The authors have compiled an original methodology comprising seven interrelated activities, some supported by a separate tailored methodology, which cover stakeholder analysis, public opinion assessment, local water security assessment, and problem analysis and prioritisation.

Each of the seven activities comprises two or more steps, making a total of 20 steps in the LWSAP process. All 20 steps, and the deliverables related to each one, are described in detail in the manual.

This technical report was produced in the framework of the project “Sustainable Use of Transboundary Water Resources and Water Security Management in the MENA region (WaterSUM)”, Component 2: Water and Security. The report assesses local water security for improved water management in selected countries in the Middle East and North Africa region. The countries included in the assessment are Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt in North Africa; and Lebanon, Jordan and Syria in the Middle East.

This Proceedings includes the plenary lectures, papers by invited speakers and accepted papers presented orally or on the posters at the International Science Conference “Reporting for Sustainability”. The Conference took place in Bečići (Montenegro) at the Mediteran Hotel Congress Center, May 7-10, 2013.

There is much more to sustainability reporting than just generating reports on collected data requested by relevant legislation. It is becoming an increasingly comprehensive method of demonstration of an organization’s commitment to sustainable development in transparent and traceable way, presented to both internal and external stakeholders. This Conference was organized within the project “Setting up Environmental Management Center in Serbia”, implemented by the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe with the funds provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway. Therefore, the Conference represented an excellent opportunity to discuss newly developed tools for integrated environmental reporting and sustainability reporting in Serbia. However, many other tools and practical approaches implemented in Southeastern Europe were discussed.

The Conference was also a unique regional platform for networking with the environmental management community in Serbia and Southeastern Europe. The Conference offered ample opportunities for interaction and exchange between academicians, government officials and sustainability practitioners. We hope that this Proceedings will be used by professionals across the world and will remain as a valuable reference source in the times to come.

The Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has received a Trust Fund Grant from the state of Japan for preparation of the Export Finance Facilitation Project. The objective of the project is to support establishment of the Yugoslav Export Credit Agency (YECA) as a permanent institution to implement a wide range of facilities aimed at supporting the import of essential goods and services and the export of goods and services produced or manufactured in Yugoslavia.

Facilities supporting imports comprise:

• a political risk insurance facility supporting trade exposure of foreign entities in Yugoslavia, and

• limited comprehensive import credit insurance.

Export support facilities comprise:

• working capital loans and guarantees

• export credit insurance, and

• exporter performance insurance.

This Manual was developed in order to ensure that no working capital loans/guarantees, contract bonds or credit insurance would be available to support environmentally harmful activities. The Manual follows current Yugoslav (Serbian and Montenegr ian) environmental procedures, rules and regulations (for the legal framework, see Chapter 4), as well as the World Bank policy and procedures on environmental assessment, Based on the working directive 4.01.
