„Integrating Multiple Demands on Coastal Zones with Emphasis on
Aquatic Ecosystems and Fisheries“
Presented by Silvia Opitz (Project Manager)
Partnerprojects: CENSOR, ecost, PASARELAS
From May 2005 to April 2008
INCO 3739
Objective
To contribute to the restoration of
healthy fish stocks and ecosystems by 2015,
one of the goals set by the
World Summit for Sustainable Developmentin Johannesburg in 2002.
INCO 3739
Results

2 Shifting Baselines Database of historical fisheries data
Database of historical fisheries data relating to selected key aquatic resources in specific Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs).
David Starkey, University Hull, UK
3 Biodiversity Mapping
Electronic maps with predicted species distribution
•Standardized electronic maps with predicted distribution for all coastal zone species relevant to INCOFISH. .•Maps with predicted distribution before and after a certain point in time.•Maps with predicted seasonal distribution.•Dynamic maps where species distribution is predicted from the occurrence of the respective niche in space and time as predicted by physical models of the oceans.

4 Ecosystems Modelling
Database and standardized ecosystem models
Database relevant for modelling of all ecosystems represented in INCOFISHStandardized Ecosystem models for all ecosystems represented in INCOFISH.Spatial ecosystem models for all selected LMEs.

7 Sustainability Indicators
•Simple indicators•Internet wizard•Fish Ruler
•Review of existing indicators and selection of suitable, simple indicators.•Availability of biological parameters needed for applying indicators.•Internet-based software (Wizard) assisting in the application of indicators.

8 Valuation of Coastal Ecosystem Products and Services
•Database on coastal stakeholders•Economic indicators•Policy options
•Database of social and economic information on coastal stakeholders.•Identification of economic indicators to be linked to fisheries indicators from WP 7. •Policy options for sustainable fisheries and coastal management, with a special focus on stakeholder involvement.

9 Impact of Ecotourism
Criteria and indicators for ecotourism
•Criteria to determine carrying capacity and limits of acceptable change (LACs) for ecotourism in- and outside the Eastern Tropical Pacific.•Indicators to monitor impact of ecotourism on MPAs.•Testing of concepts and indicators with special focus on stakeholder involvement.
Stuart Banks, Charles Darwin Foundation, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
10 Legal Instruments
Comparative country profiles on fisheries legislation with database
Country profiles on fisheries legislation for a series of non-European countries (Brazil, Indonesia, Kenya, Namibia, Nicaragua) and comparison with EU legislation. All in form of a database.

The Fish-Ruler – A Success Story for Germany
The currently available fish ruler indicates the length at which 90-100 % of individuals of a given species are reproductively mature. It shows also length of
individuals without head and length of entire filets. The fish ruler- called “Fisch-O-Meter” - is being produced and distributed by the German consumer protection association in cooperation with the Lighthouse
Foundation.
