This study investigates the effects of residual films on soil salt transport and crop growth. An experimental study was conducted wherein the soil was collected from cotton fields under long-term film mulching and drip irrigation in arid oasis areas to determine the distribution and accumulation of residual plastic films in the soil layers of an agricultural ecosystem. The results from the study indicated that the density of residual mulching film in cotton fields under continuous mulching for five years exceeded the limit value of the determination standard (75 kg/ha). With the increase in film mulching years, the residual film accumulated at a rate of 15.0 kg/ha annually, and it tended to migrate to the deep soil each year. The growth index, biomass, and yield also show a decreasing trend with the increase in the number of mulching years. The analysis of this study indicates the significance of increasing the recycling efficiency of the residual films and ensuring sustainable agricultural development in an oasis.
The Scheme of Control and Enforcement Scheme (Scheme) of the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) applies to all fishing vessels used or intended for use in fishing activities conducted on fisheries resources in the Regulatory Area. The scheme is divided into seven chapters: General Provisions (I), Control Measures (II), Monitoring of Fisheries (III), Vessel[…]
For the purpose of ensuring that fishing activities are in compliance with South Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA) Conservation and Management Measures (CMMs), this CMM provides regulations that make it easier to monitor, control, and monitor fishing activities. It is the responsibility of the Contracting Parties, cooperating non-contracting party (CNCPs), and participating fishing entities (PFEs) to[…]
In the context of sustainable fishing activities, this Regulation establishes specific rules regarding the eligibility of costs associated with operations that aim to protect and restore marine biodiversity and ecosystems. Additionally, this Regulation addresses the eligibility of costs for operations that aim to mitigate climate change and improve the energy efficiency of fishing vessels. Furthermore,[…]
The Third Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) Strategic Plan (2022-2030) sets out a clear roadmap for achieving the CRFM’s vision of effective management, conservation and sustainable use of our fisheries and aquaculture resources, to maximise social and economic benefits in the CRFM Member States. The plan was approved by the Eleventh Special Meeting of the[…]
This measure is based on the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Fishery Resources in the South East Atlantic Ocean, adopted by the Annual Meeting of the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organization (SEAFO) in 2015, establishes the System of Observation, Inspection, Compliance and Enforcement, which shall apply to all fishing vessels and fishing research[…]
