Newsletter September 2006
News
Dear UN Atlas Member
This month we look at the vast array of biological components in marine ecosystems - from microbes to mammals. As we gain a better understanding of how highly integrated these ecosystems are, we can also shape action towards more responsible fisheries. In this vein, an international conference on Implementing the ecosystem approach to fisheries will be held in Bergen (Norway) from 26 to 28 September 2006.
Conserving our marine ecosystems is vital. And during emergencies, such as the recent oil spill on the Lebanese coast, a rapid and coordinated response is often required. Long-term ecological research is still needed to measure the fragility and resilience of recovering ecosystems.
If this newsletter may interest someone you know, please forward it. Contribute to and participate in the growing Atlas community by becoming an active Member of the UN Atlas today.
