| Summary: | Marine park is a designated area of the sea where
national regulatory authorities place limits on certain
human activities. Marine parks usually allow
multiple uses. Certain zones are protected for
preserving specific habitats for marine biodiversity
to achieve ecological sustainability while in
others activities such as recreational fishing, ecotourism,
snorkeling, and diving are allowed.
Large marine parks have open zones for fishing
and no-take zones where extractive activities such
as fishing, sand mining, and drilling are prohibited.
Generally, marine parks are considered
suitable places for gaining scientific understanding
and promoting environmental awareness
while safeguarding the benefits of indigenous
coastal communities.
Sea ranching is a type of marine farming in
which juveniles are released into the ocean where
they grow without containment structures. The
juveniles are generally produced in the hatcheries.
In some cases, wild-caught juveniles from one
area are also released into another area for stock
enhancement or creating a fishery resource. They
grow unprotected and without any assistance such
as feed from outside. The marine environment
provides the juveniles all the resources to grow
to be subsequently harvested. Sea ranching is
unlike mariculture where stocked species are
held in captivity, in cages, sea pens, or other
types of enclosures, and provided feed and other
requirements from external sources.
Nature-based solutions are human actions
aimed at sustainably managing the natural or
modified ecosystems. Such solutions include
measures to protect and restore the ecosystems
and are inspired by nature. In the context of
oceans, the nature-based solutions are systematic
and informed interventions that are resource-efficient
and help in building resilience. This concept
is based on the understanding that healthy ocean
provides more ecosystem services that benefit the
humanity. |
