Texto completoSpatial Conservation Planning is a scientific-driven procedure to identify cost effective networks of areas capable of representing biodiversity through time. This conceptually simple task accommodates sufficient complexity to justify the existence of an active research line with more than 20 years already. But costefficiency and representation of biodiversity is only part of the whole challenge of Spatial Conservation Planning.The recognition that Nature operates dynamically has stimulated researchers to embrace the additional challenges of developing methods to make conventional (static) conservation approaches more dynamic and therefore increase the chances that biodiversity are preserved in the longer term. In this thesis, I present a set of tools to assist spatial conservation decision-making and address issues such as uncertainty and spatial dynamics of species ranges. These two topics are particularly relevant in the context of ongoing climate changes. I start by investigating two connectivity paradigms for the identification of conservation areas. In the first, a distance-based approach is applied for the identification of areas representing a set of species. In the second, I present a conceptual framework based on the analysis of environmental similarity between protected areas. The framework seeks to identify effective spatial linkages between protected areas while ensuring that these linkages are as efficient as possible. Then, I introduce a methodology to refine the matching of species distributions and protected area data in gap analysis. Forth, I present a comprehensive assessment for the expected impacts of climate change among European conservation areas. Finally, I address a framework for cost-efficient identification of the best areas that, in each time period, assist species’ range adjustments induced by severe climate changes. There exists a wealth of theoretical insight and algorithmic power available to ecologists. This thesis took advantage of it and (I hope) it offers useful guidance for genuine biodiversity protection.

Texto completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Peace Parks Foundation (PPF) was established in 1997 to facilitate Transfrontier Conservation (TFCA) initiatives in the SADC region and thereby support economic development, conservation of biodiversity, as well as the promotion of regional peace and stability. To this effect, their regional planners require a thorough knowledge of the condition of areas in which the estimated actions will be carried out. To date, the PPF have used base datasets, such as land cover and population densities, in their GIS projects to support their decision making processes. However, they have realised the importance of developing rigorous methods for the extraction and generalization of biodiversity information for informed conservation decisions. The main aim of this study was, therefore, to develop a spatial framework for the generalisation and integration of data to become meaningful information that may be readily interpreted. The resultant framework represents a methodology for, firstly, identifying and, secondly, prioritizing core natural areas or units (CNU). CNUs were modelled to represent large blocks (minimum 100 km') of contiguous natural vegetation that are far from major roads and densely populated places. They were, then, ranked into three classes of importance (low, medium and high) according to an ecological value derived for each. This made the framework comprehensive in its considerations of regional biodiversity and robust enough to be used for planning at the SADC scale. By organising data and quantitative approaches logically in a robust, but rigorous, way, spatial frameworks provide the structure for combining specialized knowledge as well as scientific analysis and pragmatic politics in an effective planning process. This could guide plans which are proactive instead of reactive, visionary as well as pragmatic and well founded in research and understanding.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Peace Parks Foundation (PPF) was gestig in 1997 om oorgrens bewarings-initiatiewe in die SADC streek te fasiliteer en daardeur steun te verleen aan ekonomiese ontwikkeling, die bewaring van biodiversiteit asook die bevordering van vrede en stabiliteit in die streek. Om dit te behaal benodig die betrokke streeksbeplanners 'n grondige kennis van die toestand van die areas waarin die beoogdede aksies uitgevoer sal word. Tot op hede het die PPF basis datastelle, van byvoorbeeld landgebruik en populasie-digtheid, ingespan m hul GIS projekte om besluitnemingsprossese te ondersteun. Daar is egter besef dat dit van hoogste belang is om deeglike metodes te onwikkel vir die onttrekking van biodiversiteits-informasie sodat ingeligte besluitneming moontlik gemaak kan word. Gevolglik was die hoof oogmerk van hierdie studie om 'n ruimtelike verwysingsraamwerk te ontwikkel wat data kan veralgemeen en integreer tot betekenisvolle inligting wat geredelik interpreteerbaar is. Die daaruit-vloeiende raamwerk stel 'n metodologie voor wat Kern Natuurlike Areas (KNA) eerstens kan identifiseer en tweedens kan prioritiseer. Hierdie KNA is gemodelleer om groot blokke (minstens 100km2 ) van aaneenlopende natuurlike plantegroei, ver van hoofpaaie en dig bevolkte gebiede, voor te stel. Hulle is hieropvolgend gesorteer in drie range van belangrikheid (laag, medium en hoog) na gelang van 'n ekologiese waarde wat vir elk afgelei is. Hierdeur is die raamwerk, in terme van voldoende oorwegings teenoor streeks-biodiversiteit, omvattend gemaak en terselfdertyd robuus vir beplanning op die SADC skaal. Deur data en kwalitatiewe benaderings logies en in 'n deeglike en robuuste wyse te organiseer, bied ruimtelike verwysingsraamwerke die struktuur om gespesialiseerde kennis met wetenskaplike analise en pragmatiese politiek te kombineer in 'n effektiewe beplanningsproses. Hierdeur kan planne geformuleer word wat proaktief is instede van reaktief, visionêr sowel as pragmaties, en terselfdertyd goed gefundeer bly op navorsing en begrip.

Texto completoIn “Översiktsplan Älvkarleby Kommun 2009” is it clear that the municipality of Älvkarleby want to develop the democratic forms and facilitate citizens’ political participation. Earlier research shows that the need for citizen participation increases in public planning and believe that planners can draw multiple benefits of citizen participation in planning processes. One way to increase citizen participation is the integration of digital 3D visualization in the planning process, a tool that the municipality of Älvkarleby not using for local plans today. The purpose of this study is to examine the future of digital 3D visualization in small Swedish municipality. The study will identify attitudes to digital 3D visualization of politicians, planners and citizens. Finally, the study will also examine how small municipalities can use digital 3D visualization in the future planning to enhance the existing civic participation. The goal of this study is to demonstrate to Älvkarleby, and other municipalities where the digital 3D visualization is not used, how to by simple means and cost-effective use digital 3D visualization in future planning processes. To identify the perception of 3D digital visualization, a selection of municipal officials and politicians, semi-structural interviews have been carried out. To quantitatively examine the citizens' attitudes, digital questionnaires have been sent out via the social network Facebook. During the study eight interviews and 99 surveys have been answered. Politicians, planners and citizens in the municipality agree that digital 3D visualization can help to streamline and improve the planning processes for local plans. The study has also resulted in identifying the obstacles that digital 3D visualization may lead to in the planning process. Digital 3D visualization as a part of the planning process for the local planning could lead to increased citizen participation in the municipality of Älvkarleby, as the interest in the planning process increases and the desire to participate are positively affected by digital 3D visualization. In addition to civic participation, the digital 3D visualization can also be used to simplify the workflows for both municipal officials and politicians. Keywords: Digital 3D Visualization, Planning Process, Zoning Plan, Älvkarleby kommun, Public Participation.

Texto completoThe constantly increasing amount and availability of urban data derived from varying sources leads to an assortment of challenges that include, among others, the consolidation, visualization, and maximal exploitation prospects of the aforementioned data. A preeminent problem affecting urban planning is the appropriate choice of location to host a particular activity (either commercial or common welfare service) or the correct use of an existing building or empty space. In this thesis we propose an approach to address the preceding challenges availed with machine learning techniques with the random forests classifier as its dominant method in a system that combines, blends and merges various types of data from different sources, encode them using a novel semantic model that can capture and utilize both low-level geometric information and higher level semantic information and subsequently feeds them to the random forests classifier. The data are also forwarded to alternative classifiers and the results are appraised to confirm the prevalence of the proposed method. The data retrieved stem from a multitude of sources, e.g. open data providers and public organizations dealing with urban planning. Upon their retrieval and inspection at various levels (e.g. import, conversion, geospatial) they are appropriately converted to comply with the rules of the semantic model and the technical specifications of the corresponding subsystems. Geometrical and geographical calculations are performed and semantic information is extracted. Finally, the information from individual earlier stages along with the results from the machine learning techniques and the multicriteria methods are integrated into the system and visualized in a front-end web based environment able to execute and visualize spatial queries, allow the management of three-dimensional georeferenced objects, their retrieval, transformation and visualization, as a decision support system

Texto completoIn metropolitan areas where the exploitation pressure increases, also the importance to point out nature areas grows, both for the sake of outdoor life and for biodiversity conservation. Since nature conservancy and spatial planning constitute two different parts of the municipalities land use control, a case study has been carried out in two municipalities in the Stockholm region, Huddinge and Järfälla. Both these municipalities have protected about one third of their land and today there are plans to repeal parts of the reserves to enable exploitation. This thesis shows – from the theoretical concept of sustainable development – officials, politicians and non-governmental organizations perspectives on questions concerning land use together with the work with nature reserves and repeals. The study focuses on how different basic attitudes and paradigms emphasizes different aspects of sustainable development and how this in turn affects the work to repeal nature reserves. Interviews with stakeholders in the municipalities and documents concerning land use and nature reserves demonstrates that there is distinct differences between the planning-paradigm, based on spatial planning, and the environmental-paradigm, based on nature conservation. From the planning-paradigm it is considered that nature reserves had to big impact on the municipality's land use and that valuable nature more frequently should be protected by the Swedish planning and building act. From the environmental-paradigms view the nature conservancy is – and should also in the future be – an important tool in the long-term prevention to stop valuable nature from being exploited. The thesis also stresses the importance to in the work with repeals take all effects that this kind of decision can lead to into account – not just in the repealed area but also for the future work with nature reserves on the whole.
I storstadsregioner där exploateringstrycket blir allt större, ökar också vikten av att peka ut naturområden, både för det rörliga friluftslivet samt för bevarande av den biologiska mångfalden. Utifrån det att naturskydd samt fysisk planering utgör varsin del av kommuners styrning av markanvändningen har en fallstudie genomförts i två kommuner i Stockholmsregionen, Huddinge och Järfälla. Båda dessa kommuner har skyddat ungefär en tredjedel av kommunens mark och idag finns planer på att upphäva delar av reservaten för att där möjliggöra exploatering. Uppsatsen visar – utifrån det teoretiska begreppet hållbar utveckling – hur tjänstemän, politiker och intresseorganisationer ser på markanvändningsfrågor samt arbetet med naturreservat och upphävande. Studien fokuserar på hur olika grundinställningar och paradigm lyfter fram olika aspekter av hållbar utveckling samt hur detta i sin tur påverkar arbetet med att upphäva naturreservat. Intervjuer med kommunala aktörer samt dokument rörande markanvändning och naturreservat visar att det finns tydliga skillnader mellan planparadigmet, med grund i den fysiska planeringen, och miljöparadigmet, med grund i naturvården. Utifrån planparadigmet anser man att naturreservaten har fått för stor inverkan på kommunens markanvändning och att värdefull natur oftare borde skyddas med hjälp av plan- och bygglagens verktyg. Från miljöparadigmets vinkel är naturskyddet – och bör även i fortsättningen vara – ett viktigt verktyg för att långsiktigt förhindra att värdefull natur exploateras. Uppsatsen framhåller också vikten av att man vid upphävande av naturreservat tar hänsyn till alla effekter som ett sådant beslut kan leda till – inte bara i det upphävda området utan även för det fortsatta arbetet med naturreservat i stort.

Human-induced climate change are acknowledged as one of the major treats to biodiversity over the 21 st century. However, species/populations are not equally affected by climate change. Therefore, identify where and which species are more vulnerable to climate change is paramount for guide conservation efforts. Hence, I sought to i) evaluate mamall exposure to climate change and assess the effectiveness of Amazon network of Protected Areas (PAs) in buffer the impacts of climate change on “critically-exposed” species; ii) develop a spatial conservation scheme for mammals in the Brazilian Amazon that efficiently identifies highlyexposed areas within species current and future distributions in which conservation efforts should be targeted in order to mitigate the impacts of climate change on the biodiversity found in the Brazilian Amazon. In general, the results indicated that mammals might face high exposure to climate change and Protected Areas will probably not be efficient enough to avert impacts of climate change on “critically-exposed” species. In this vein, we hope that our spatial conservation plan may help planners and stakeholders to guide conservation efforts aiming at mitigate impacts and avert biodiversity loss due to climate change.
As mudanças climáticas de causa antrópica são consideradas uma das principais ameaças a biodiversidade no século XXI. Contudo, nem todas espécies/populações serão igualmente afeadas pelas mudanças no clima. Portanto, identificar onde e quais espécies são mais vulneráveis às mudanças climáticas é fundamental para guiar ações de conservação. Assim, procurei i) avaliar a exposição de mamíferos da Amazônia às mudanças climáticas e se as Unidades de Conservação desse bioma são eficientes em mitigar os efeitos das mudanças climáticas sobre as espécies “criticamente expostas”; ii) desenvolver um esquema de priorização para conservação de mamíferos que eficientemente identifica áreas prioritárias dentro das áreas de distribuição atual e futura das espécies nas quais esforços de conservação devem ser direcionados de modo a mitigar os efeitos da mudanças climáticas sobre a biodiversidade. De modo geral, os resultados indicam que grande parte dos mamíferos poderão ser altamente expostos às mudanças climáticas e que as atuais Unidades de Conservação provavelmente não serão eficientes para evitar os impactos das mudanças climáticas nas espécies “criticamente expostas”. Sendo assim, esperamos que nosso plano espacial para conservação possa ajudar planejadores e tomadores de decisão a guiar esforços de conservação de modo a mitigar impactos e evitar a perda da biodiversidade na Amazônia.

O litoral da Região dos Lagos, no estado do Rio de Janeiro, atravessa atualmente um processo de modificação acelerado da paisagem, tornando necessário a elaboração de estratégias preventivas de conservação para os próximos anos. Uma medida de conservação adotada foi a criação pelo decreto estadual nº 42.929 de 18 de abril de 2011 do Parque Estadual da Costa do Sol (PECSoL), que abrange os municípios: Armação de Búzios, Cabo Frio, Araruama, São Pedro d’Aldeia, Arraial do Cabo e Saquarema. O objetivo do trabalho foi analisar a variação da paisagem entre 2006 e 2016 da área correspondente ao Núcleo II Atalaia Dama Branca do PECSoL com a utilização de métricas da paisagem. A partir da confecção dos mapas de uso e ocupação do solo calculamos as métricas para os níveis de paisagem e classe. Também foram realizadas a análise dos fragmentos de restinga arbustiva quanto ao seu tamanho, forma e grau de isolamento. Os resultados obtidos revelaram importantes alterações na dinâmica da paisagem ao longo desse período.
The coast of the Lakes Region, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, is currently undergoing a process of accelerated landscape modification, making it necessary to develop preventive conservation strategies for the coming years. A conservation measure adopted was the creation of the Parque Estadual da Costa do Sol (PECSol) - which translates to Costa do Sol Estate Park - by state decree nº 42.929 of April 18, 2011. The park covers the following municipalities: Armação de Búzios, Cabo Frio, Araruama, São Pedro d'Aldeia, Arraial do Cabo and Saquarema. The objective of this work was to analyze and diagnose the variation of the landscape between 2006 and 2016 of the area corresponding to the nucleus II named Atalaia Dama Branca with the use of landscape metrics. From the preparation of land use maps we calculate the metrics for landscape and class levels. The fragments of shrub were also analyzed for their size, shape and degree of isolation. The results obtained revealed important changes in the dynamics of the landscape during this period.

Texto completoAs the pressures exerted by human activities on the marine environment intensify, a rational organization of these activities is needed to stem the degradation of the ecosystems on which the supply of goods and services to human societies depends. Recent concepts of the ecosystem approach and their promising application to maritime spatial planning provide answers to this challenge, but the complexity of the tissue formed by marine ecosystems and the human uses interacting with them makes it difficult to operationalize these approaches. This thesis proposes to put marine ecosystem conservation back at the heart of the planning process, by integrating the principles of ecosystem-based management into maritime spatial planning, and by assessing the role of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a preferred tool for ecosystem conservation within the planning process. Assessing the cumulative impact of human activities at a scale relevant to management in Moorea, French Polynesia, has highlighted the strong contribution of land-based activities to cumulative impact at lagoon scale, underlining the need for integrated management of the land-sea continuum. We then demonstrate the added value of this same approach in guiding management decisions in a rational and transparent way, and in particular the contribution of MPAs to effectively reducing human pressures within them. Indeed, MPAs are a preferential zoning tool for the conservation of marine ecosystems, and can thus be integrated into maritime spatial planning, provided that the activities responsible for deleterious pressures on the environment are effectively managed. We used an MPA classification system based on regulated and unregulated activities to assess the actual level of protection afforded by MPAs in France and the Mediterranean Sea. The results show that, although some countries have achieved the target of 10% MPAs by 2020, the vast majority of MPAs do not have sufficient levels of protection to deliver socio-ecological benefits. In order to ensure that MPAs can fulfill their role in ecosystem conservation, the recently set targets for 2030 now set 10% of strict or strong protection. We therefore analyzed which factors explain the presence of the highest levels of protection in the Mediterranean Sea, and the results show that the high levels of protection in the Mediterranean Sea are opportunistic, targeting neither particular biodiversity components nor high levels of human pressure. Taken together, the results highlight the lack of consideration given to conservation objectives, both within the MSP, through a lack of approaches dedicated locally to assessing the cumulative impact of human activities and evaluating different planning scenarios with regard to conservation issues, and within the MPAs, which are nonetheless dedicated to achieving these conservation objectives. the various approaches proposed here make it possible to place biodiversity back at the heart of marine spatial planning

Texto completoThe concept of “ecological networks” emphasises the importance of ecological connectivity between different natural areas. As a result of the historical evolutions of nature conservation practices and new scientific evidence this concept provides a new approach to nature protection. Numerous initiatives of “ecological networks” exist worldwide and also in the Alps. They are evidence of this new conception of nature protection going beyond the conservation of single species aiming the protection of functioning ecosystems. The implementation of this concept is analysed in three alpine regions in Germany, Switzerland and France. In these regions various different initiatives are overlapping one another generating interrogations concerning the coordination and cooperation between the different scales, actors, actions and related aims. In addition to the pure ecological impacts the creation of ecological networks seems to offer a particular potential going beyond the general objectives related to nature protection. These additional casual effects are in the centre of this research: the potential of the tool to mobilise various categories of different actors, the particular possibilities of regional governance, the prospective and existing links with spatial planning. The concept of ecological networks has completely changed nature protection practice inducing modifications of the perception of nature by society and therefore of the relation between society and nature

It is widely studied to find the shortest path of two points on a map. This means that the path will cost a minimum on time and distance. The Lee path connection algorithm, which proposed in 1961, is the most widely used method for finding wire paths on PCB and VLSI design. Recently, Jan proposed an algorithm with O(N) of time and memory space complexities, where N is the number of pixels on a raster map. It improved Lee’s algorithm from searching four connected neighbors to eight connected neighbors. However, the problem of finding shortest path in real world is led to 3D space. We extended Jan’s algorithm from the 2-dimensional to the 3-dimensional raster space and reduce the computation of the cells’ arriving time by applied grass fire scheme. This algorithm, which also has the less auxiliary link lists and remains at O(N) of time and memory space complexities where N is the number of voxels on a 3D raster map, has been coded in C++ language on a personal computer with an Intel Pentium 233 processor running MS windows 98, and some illustrations are presented.

Biodiversity has been rapidly lost in recent years due to destruction of habitat. Biodiversity conservation and economic growth often conflict, and conservation resources that can be used are often limited. Therefore, a key issue of biodiversity conservation is how to improve the efficiency of limited resources and identify where conservation management are needed. A number of systematic conservation planning tools are available to aid in making land use decisions. It is essential that methodological differences and their potential effect on conservation planning outcomes are understood. In this study, we utilize two commonly used decision-support tools, Marxan and Zonation, to identify a conservation planning for maintaining biodiversity of 16 birds at the Meifeng Highlands Experiment Farm of National Taiwan University in Nantou. We calculated the Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) for each bird by logistic regression, and selected the species which are representative in regression analysis as target species. Marxan and Zonation analyses were carried out using different Boundary Length parameters and conservation targets. Moreover, we apply representativeness, comprehensiveness, connectivity, cost- efficiency and irreplaceability as principles of quantifying conservation benefits for all analyses. Our results indicated that Boundary Length Penalty (BLP) of Zonation analyses are suggested to set from to and Boundary Length Modifier (BLM) of Marxan analyses are suggested to set to ; Marxan with high BLM value generally produced large reserve leading to ineffective results . Zonation results implied that low BLP value contribute to better perform. As a whole, both Marxan and Zonation generated representative and representative reserve appropriately and Zonation performed better in all principles. Based on our results, we suggested utilizing the results of Zonation for Meifeng conservation planning due to high biodiversity, optimal spatial configuration and high efficacy. The results revealed that northern and eastern natural forest and the edge areas of orchard are the areas with the largest conservation benefit; there are priority areas as reserve when resources limited. In addition, the western area has the least benefit and lowest irreplaceability in high conservation target and high boundary length parameter analyses. This study showed a case study of systematic conservation planning and different spatial characteristics; moreover, we proposed a quantifiable concept and provided the efficiently scheme for conservation planning. This result will be useful for future conservation planner to determine the appropriate decision-support tools.

In the year of 2001, Typhoon Toraji struck Taiwan. CEPD initiated National Conservation Plan for Safety which was personal-safety-oriented, preventing and controlling disasters by technical engineering. Typhoon Mindulle struck Taiwan in 2004, CEPD initiated National Land Recovery Plan which was focus on recovering national land to original state. In 2009, Typhoon Morakot caused serious damages. Adaptation became the main thinking, adapting to unknown climate factors and making the maximum efficiency. Therefore, CEPD initiated The Conservation-Oriented Guideline of Reconstruction, National-Land Conservation Plan, Strategic Plan for National Spatial Development and Adaptation Strategy to Climate Change in Taiwan after Typhoon Morakot. As a highest-level institution in spatial planning system, CEPD initiated conservation policies and the policies should command regional and local spatial plan. This study firstly analyzed highest-level policies and generalized conservation keywords. Secondly, we used conservation keywords to examine lower-level spatial plans and found that urban plans of Neipu and Kaoshu had less associativity with the conservation. In the last, we analyzed and summarized the current situation and the difficulties of implementation in each level of spatial plan. We found that CEPD, Construction and planning agency ministry of interior(CPAMI), local planning departments had different conservation ideas. This study suggests that a policy implementation system should be built up, the system includes legislation, the feedback system of policy, stakeholders participation.

Texto completoAs áreas marinhas protegidas (AMPs) desempenham um papel chave na preservação da biodiversidade e dos habitats, e na gestão sustentável dos recursos naturais. Um desenho representativo, conectado, resiliente e adequado das redes de AMPs requere uma boa compreensão da distribuição das espécies e da sua preferência de habitats. No entanto, um conhecimento detalhado está geralmente concentrado em apenas alguns locais de amostragem e espécies. A presente tese está direcionada para os peixes marinhos em habitats costeiros até os 40 m. A abordagem que foi desenvolvida foca-se no desenho de redes de AMPs planeadas para otimizar benefícios ecológicos. Para esta finalidade, previsões preditivas de um conjunto de variáveis dos peixes foram mapeadas para identificar áreas prioritárias para a conservação de múltiplos espécies e objetivos. A dissertação está organizada em sete capítulos. O capítulo 1 dá uma introdução geral ao estado do conhecimento da ciência das AMPs, modelos de distribuição de espécies (MDEs) e ao ecossistema marinho da área de estudo, que integra duas ilhas vizinhas do arquipélago dos Açores (Nordeste Atlântico). Uma visão geral da rede existente de AMPs e das pescas regionais está descrita. O capítulo conclui com a motivação e objetivos desta dissertação. O capítulo 2 apresenta o método de amostragem para aquisição dos dados de ictiofauna, a seleção das espécies-alvos, e os dados ambientais que foram usados na dissertação. Os principais métodos de MDEs utilizados para a produção de mapas preditivos são explicados em detalhe. Este capítulo é a base metodológica para os seguintes três capítulos. Abundância ou presença-ausência de peixes de recife com diferentes ecologias tróficas são modelados e mapeados no capítulo 3. Os resultados mostram que o ambiente determinou o padrão espacial das espécies estudadas. Por exemplo, a abundância foi sempresuperior na interface entre os principais tipos de habitat: rocha e sediment. As áreas com a presença potencial de espécies individuais foram espalhadas na área de estudo mas mais pequenos para múltiplas espécies de um determinado nível trófico. Estes hotspots de multi-espécies são uma potencial contribuição para o 'efeito de reserva' minimizando a área necessária para a conservação. O capítulo 4 apresenta modelos espaciais para a biomassa desovante e a fecundidade potencial (o número de oócitos das fêmeas matures) de peixes de recife selecionados. As duas medidas mostraram uma distribuição espacial heterogénea por espécie e influenciada pela batimetria, forças oceanográficas e distância à fronteira do habitat. Mapas de fecundidade potencial refinaram os padrões espaciais da biomassa desovante para espécies com um sex-ratio altamente enviesado para os machos. Hotspots reprodutivos de várias espécies são potenciais "habitats fonte" aumentando a produção e exportação de larvas para áreas adjacentes. Como tal, vêm potencialmente apoiar o "efeito de recrutamento" das AMPs. Consequentemente, a sua total proteção deve ser promovida. Diferentes índices de biodiversidade e de vulnerabilidade intrínseca para a pesca são analisados no capítulo 5. A proteção de locais de alta biodiversidade é frequentemente exigida em conservação marinha. No entanto, os resultados mostraram que somente os padrões de biodiversidade podem não representar bem as áreas de maior interesse e necessidade para a conservação. A integração da vulnerabilidade intrínseca para a pesca no planeamento espacial resultou numa identificação mais precisa de sítios prioritários. A combinação de ambos os parâmetros é proposta como uma nova abordagem para apoiar o planeamento espacial marítimo que serve a gestão pesqueira e os objetivos de conservação. O capítulo 6 é uma análise abrangente que combina os mapas preditivos que foram produzidos nos três capítulos anteriores com outras características do habitat e sócio-econômicos. Cenários alternativos da rede de reserva foram produzidos com o software 'Marxan', considerando diferentes alvos de conservação e objetivos. Os resultados demonstraram que a estatística da rede (ex. tamanho, 'rácio da-borda-à-área', e percentagem da linha de costa protegida) e o posicionamento da reserva foram influenciados, principalmente, pelos diferentes níveis de proteção. As diferenças foram menos pronunciadas entre soluções que se focaram na pesca ou na conservação da biodiversidade. As soluções criadas pelo Marxan correspondem parcialmente à atual rede de AMPs. Estas mostram alternativas para a localização e tamanho das áreas protegidas, que podem ser usadas em processos de gestão adaptativa. O capítulo 7 combina a discussão geral dos resultados da dissertação, impactos e possíveis trabalhos futuros. Os resultados evidenciam que as AMPs não podem beneficiar igualmente todas as espécies, portanto, é fundamental incluir informação da ecologia espacial de multi-espécies no seu desenho. Análises de representatividade mostraram que todos os hotspots de multi-espécies são quantitativamente bem integrados na rede existente de AMPs. Porém dada a elevada importância biológica/ecológica e a pequena extensão destes hotspots, os futuros processos de gestão devem promover a proteção de toda a área de hotspots para assegurar o seu funcionamento ecológico. Devido à sua clareza a aplicação de mapas preditivos deve ser uma ferramenta prioritária para a gestão do espaço marítimo, especialmente em situações de escassez de dados, desde que rigorosos critérios de validação sejam aplicados. O enquadramento apresentado é simples, direto e eficiente na identificação de habitats com potencialmente alta abundância, fecundidade, diversidade e vulnerabilidade para a pesca. Propõe-se a integração desta abordagem promissora como um primeiro passo de um múltiplo processo para a identificação de sítios prioritários para a conservação que servem vários objetivos.
ABSTRACT: Marine protected areas (MPAs) can play a key role in preserving biodiversity and habitats and in managing the sustainable use of natural resources, including fish stocks. Designing representative, connected, resilient, and adequate MPA networks requires a good understanding of the species’ distribution and habitat preferences. Yet, detailed knowledge is often reduced to a few sampled locations and species. This thesis focuses on marine reef fishes in coastal habitats down to the 40 m isobath. A framework is developed to design MPA networks that optimise ecological benefits. For this purpose, predictive distributions of a set of fish variables are spatialised to identify potential sites of priority for conservation that can serve multiple species and objectives. The thesis is organised in seven chapters. Chapter 1 gives an overall introduction to the state of the art on the science of MPAs, species distribution models (SDMs) and the marine ecosystem of the study area, two neighbouring islands of the Azores archipelago (Northeast Atlantic). It includes an overview of the existing MPA network and regional fisheries. The motivation and objectives of the thesis are outlined. Chapter 2 presents the sampling method to acquire fish data, the selection of individual study species, and the environmental data that are used in the thesis. The main methods and background knowledge for the statistical models used to describe the species-environment relationships and to produce predictive maps are explained in detail, setting the basis for the following three chapters. The occurrence and abundance of reef fishes with different trophic ecologies are modelled and spatialised in chapter 3. Results showed that the environment shapes the spatial distribution patterns of the reef fishes. For instance, the abundance was typically highest at the interface between rock and sediment, highlighting the importance of this main ecotone for subtidal fish assemblages. Individual species were predicted to occur in large parts of the study area but these areas were much smaller if multiple species from the same trophic guild were considered. These multi-species abundance hotspots can be a major potential contribution to the 'reserve effect' of MPAs while minimising the area needed for protection. Chapter 4 presents spatially explicit models for the spawning biomass and the potential fecundity (number of oocytes of mature females) of selected reef fishes. The spatial distribution of both measures was heterogeneous, species-specific and influenced by bathymetry, oceanographic forces and the distance to the habitat edge. Maps of the potential fecundity further refined the spatial patterns of the spawning biomass for species with sex-ratios highly skewed towards males. Multi-species reproductive hotspots were identified and are potential 'source habitats' of increased larvae production and export to adjacent areas. As such, they potentially support the 'recruitment effect' of MPAs and their complete protection should be promoted. Chapter 5 evaluates different indices of biodiversity and vulnerability to fishing of fish assemblages. The protection of high-biodiversity sites is often demanded in marine conservation. Yet, results showed that biodiversity patterns alone may not represent well the areas of higher need for conservation. Integrating the intrinsic vulnerability to fishing in spatial planning resulted in a more precise identification of priority sites. The combination of both parameters is proposed as a novel approach to support marine spatial planning that serves fisheries management and conservation objectives. Chapter 6 is one comprehensive analysis that combines the predictive maps produced in the previous three chapters with additional habitat and socio-economic characteristics. Alternative scenarios for a reserve network are produced with the systematic conservation software 'Marxan' considering different conservation targets and objectives. Results demonstrated that the network statistics (e.g. size, edge-to-area ratio, and percentage of protected coastline) and reserve localisation were mainly influenced by the targeted level of protection. In contrast, differences were less pronounced between solutions that focused either on fisheries aspects or the protection of biodiversity within a given conservation target. The solutions provided by Marxan overlapped only partially with the existing MPA network. They provide potential alternatives for the location and size of protected areas that can be used in adaptive management processes. Chapter 7 combines a general discussion of the thesis results, impacts and possible future work. Results highlight that MPAs may not equally benefit all species, thus it is critical to include information of multi-species spatial ecology in their design. Analyses of representativeness showed that all multi-species hotspots are quantitatively well integrated in the existing MPA network. However, given the high biological/ecological significance and the rather small extent of these hotspots, future adaptive management processes should, possibly, promote the protection of the entire area of the hotspots to ensure their ecological functionality. Because of its clarity the application of predictive species distribution maps should be a principle tool for marine spatial management, especially in data scarce situations, provided that rigorous validation criteria are applied. The presented framework is simple, straightforward and efficient in identifying habitats with potentially high fish abundance, fecundity, biodiversity or vulnerability to fishing. It is proposed to integrate this promising approach as a first step of a manifold process for the identification of priority sites for conservation that serve multiple purposes.

Texto completoA crescente consciencialização das repercussões da perda de biodiversidade e da disrupção dos sistemas naturais na vida humana tem modificado a percepção dos problemas ambientais e fomentado a mobilização de recursos para os resolver. Em ordenamento do território, esta preocupação traduz-se na procura de uma ocupação sustentável do espaço, tentando gerir forças e interesses muitas vezes opostos e dificilmente conciliáveis. As áreas protegidas são os alicerces de qualquer estratégia para a conservação ao nível territorial, mas a sua implementação e manutenção é fortemente influenciada por limitações contextuais de origem socioeconómica. Priorizar intervenções e investimentos em conservação de forma a torná-la mais eficaz e eficiente torna-se, assim, essencial. A planificação para a conservação ambiental e o método de selecção de reservas por esta empregado têm sido alvo de desenvolvimentos nas últimas décadas, passando de uma abordagem pouco científica a um processo sistemático. Esta mudança de paradigma só foi possível devido ao desenvolvimento paralelo de tecnologias de informação geográfica que vieram possibilitar uma melhor e mais rápida aquisição de dados espaciais e seu tratamento. A modelação tornou-se uma ferramenta científica indispensável no processo de planeamento, permitindo a recolha de informação sobre fenómenos naturais e de dados indispensáveis para a utilização de software de ajuda à decisão. Esta dissertação pretende estudar os métodos empregues na identificação e selecção de áreas a proteger, focando-se no problema da máxima representatividade e na análise de estratégias comuns de priorização na tradução espacial dessa selecção. A área de estudo escolhida para esta análise foi a zona alpina do Cantão de Vaud, na Suíça, uma área conhecida pela sua biodiversidade e riqueza cultural. Depois de uma análise detalhada às características de biodiversidade, socioeconómicas e político-legais locais, decidimos concentrar o nosso estudo na preservação da vegetação. Recorrendo ao programa de apoio à decisão em planeamento de conservação Zonation v4, analisámos as diferenças espaciais resultantes de diferentes opções de conservação e dados de entrada, tais como a preferência pela salvaguarda da raridade ou da riqueza biológica, a atribuição de diferentes pesos às espécies com base em critérios vários ou a inclusão de informação socioeconómica. Tentámos ainda apurar a lógica subjacente à criação das reservas existentes e identificar possibilidades de expansão que beneficiariam a conservação. Concluímos que a tendência para proteger a raridade ou a riqueza tem tradução espacial relevante, sendo, no entanto, as limitações socioeconómicas o maior factor de constrangimento para a salvaguarda de biodiversidade. Independentemente da estratégia usada, certas áreas são consistentemente seleccionadas, mostrando-se boas candidatas para expansão futura. Os resultados revelam ainda que as reservas actuais têm boa cobertura e um aumento de 2% da área seria suficiente para atingir uma representação quase total das espécies consideradas. É possível encontrar soluções interessantes sem comprometer de forma marcante a salvaguarda da biodiversidade. Em planeamento de conservação, não existem soluções perfeitas e universais, tratando-se antes de um constante exercício de concessões. Programas de ajuda à decisão em planeamento de conservação, como o Zonation v4, demonstram grande potencial, permitindo uma melhor compreensão das alternativas e a sua rápida visualização espacial.

Buscar texto completoEffective conservation strategies for sea turtles require knowledge of animal movements and protection of biologically important habitats and life history stages. For breeding adult sea turtles, understanding both their inshore and pelagic spatial patterns is imperative to the successful protection of the species and the accurate identification of their vulnerabilities. This study provides insight into the inter-nesting, post-nesting, and foraging movements of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) that nest on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, by using satellite telemetry to track green turtles (n=12) during two nesting seasons (2017-18, 2018-19), and as they migrated to foraging grounds after the nesting season. These tracks were fit with a switching state space model to characterize movements, and then analyzed in relation to environmental and anthropogenic factors. Dive depth data was also used to determine utilization patterns within the water column. The 12 tagged turtles migrated for an average of 1064 km to two distinct foraging grounds, with 10 migrating west for an average of 1115 km to the coastal waters of Ghana, and 2 migrating south for an average of 1563 km to the coastal waters of Angola. Migrating turtles used both direct, pelagic migration strategies, and biphasal, coastal strategies, which included intermittent foraging throughout migrations. Dive depths varied depending on behavior, with an average of 19.3 m during inter-nesting, 12.6 m during migration and 8.5 m during foraging. Knowledge of inter-nesting habitat use, migration patterns, and foraging ground locations will be critical for the development of marine conservation management plans in the Gulf of Guinea and aide in sea turtle conservation efforts throughout the area. Additionally, spatial and dive depth data can inform zonal fishing regulators and provide information needed for modifications to fishing practices and gear that is most likely to reduce sea turtle bycatch. These data will provide a more complete understanding of marine areas critical to sea turtle conservation and aide in sustainable economic development in the Gulf of Guinea.
