ANERKENNUNG DES WATTENMEERES ALS UNESCO-WELTNATURERBE.

WWF: “NIEMAND BRAUCHT ÖL AUS DEM WATT.”

Bei der jährlichen Sitzung des Welterbe-Komitees der
UNESCO im spanischen Sevilla fiel heute die Entscheidung: Das
Wattenmeer an der Nordseeküste wurde als Weltnaturerbe anerkannt.
Damit steht der einmalige Naturraum zukünftig auf einer Stufe mit
den Galapagos-Inseln, dem Grand-Canyon-Nationalpark oder dem
australischen Great Barrier Reef. Mit dieser vom WWF unterstützten
Anerkennung ist auch eine Verantwortung zur dauerhaften Erhaltung
verbunden. “Der WWF erwartet von Politik und Industrie, allen
voran der Ölindustrie, dass sie die Anerkennung als Weltnaturerbe
respektiert und auf jeden Bergbau im Wattenmeer verzichtet”, sagt
Hans-Ulrich Rösner, Leiter des WWF-Wattenmeerprojekts. “Niemand
braucht ausgerechnet Öl aus dem geschützten Watt.” Die Industrie
müsse aufhören, sich immer neue Ausnahmen für missbräuchliche
Nutzungen im Nationalpark zu erstreiten und auf jede Ausweitung der
Ölförderung verzichten.

Eine weitere Gefahr für das Weltnaturerbe Wattenmeer stellt nach
WWF-Angaben der durch den Klimawandel verursachte Anstieg des
Meeresspiegels dar. Dieser könne in der flachen Landschaft der
Nordseeküste besonders schwere Auswirkungen für Mensch und Natur
haben. Wattflächen und Salzwiesen drohen dauerhaft überflutet zu
werden, auch Inseln könnten dann in Gefahr geraten. In begrenztem
Umfang ist nach WWF-Einschätzung eine Anpassung jedoch noch
möglich. So könne etwa durch Ablagerung von Schlick und Sand das
Watt mit dem Meeresspiegel mitwachsen. “Die immer höher werdenden
Investitionen für den Küstenschutz müssen auch so eingesetzt
werden, dass die natürliche Anpassung an den Meeresspiegelanstieg
gefördert wird. Das ist unsere einzige Möglichkeit die einmalige
Küstenlandschaft an der Nordsee auch langfristig zu erhalten”,
sagt Hans-Ulrich Rösner.

Für die Umweltschützer ist es außerdem ein besonderer
Wermutstropfen, dass nur der größte Teil des deutschen sowie das
niederländische Wattenmeer den Titel Weltnaturerbe erhalten haben.
Der WWF hofft, dass Dänemark und das Bundesland Hamburg nun so bald
wie möglich einen entsprechenden Antrag bei der UNESCO stellen und
sich mit ihren Wattgebieten anschließen. Ziel sollte sein, dass der
gesamte Watt-Raum zu einem gemeinsamen Weltnaturerbe wird. Dies
helfe nicht nur bei der Bewahrung des einmaligen Ökosystems,
sondern nütze auch den Anwohnern, schließlich profitiert vor allem
der Tourismus von einer intakten Natur und von der Auszeichnung als
Weltnaturerbe.

The new outlook for the Scuba Center in Terrasini

Scuba Center Terrasini

Two friends of mine visits me and find the old look of the scuba school a bit boring. They asked me if they can fix up the outlook – of course they can..

Voilà the result !!

Thanks to Adele Renault & Niels Meulmann for the fantastic new scuba center.

Where to Go?

I am looking for good diving spots accessible from France. I already had been to Egypt, and I definitely enjoyed underwater there and it was really beautiful and I’d want to go back, however not this time. I’d like to go to somewhere new. I was thinking about the Seychelles, but I am not sure because I am a budget backpacker and I guess there might be nearer places than the Seychelles, so, I wonder where should I go? I also knew that there are some very nice diving spots in Sudan, but I think it’s hard to get Khartoum, so, now basically I have no idea where should I go.
Please help me!

Creature of the Month: Dragonet, Callionymus lyra
==========================================================

One hundred and eighty-six species of the “Little Dragon” fish live from Iceland in the North to the Indo-Pacific oceans in the South. You will find the species we are concentrating on today, Callionymus lyra, from Norway to Senegal in the Eastern Atlantic, North, Irish, Mediterranean, Black, Baltic and Aegean Seas.

Dragonets spend most of their lives on sandy or rocky bottoms. They live from the shallows down to 100 m. They are sometimes confused with gobies but have a much broader triangular, head and a long dorsal ray on their backs. If you see slender fish meeting this description darting away from you on the bottom it is probably a dragonet.

The adult male C. lyra is colourfully patterned in orange and blue. The females are smaller and a mottled brown. They have an interesting courtship ritual. The male performs an elaborate display, darting around the female, spreading his brightly coloured fins and pulling faces! If the female is impressed the pair then swim side-by-side, almost vertically up to the surface. There they release the eggs and sperm into the water, spawning at dusk. Dragonet males are thought to mate only once in a lifetime.

More photos of Dragonets are at http://www.scubatravel.co.uk/photouk.html

Babysitting whales give mums time for a snack

Only adult sperm whales are able dive into deep waters to hunt for squid, so who looks after the kids? Babysitting mums, that’s who. The mothers form a babysitting circle, taking it in turns to watch over other calves and go hunting themselves. The babysitters even allowed the other mums’ calves to nurse if they were hungry.

Scientists predict Large Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone

University of Michigan scientists say this year’s Gulf of Mexico “dead zone” could be one of the largest on record, continuing a decades-long trend. The Gulf dead zone forms each spring and summer off the Louisiana and Texas coast when oxygen levels drop too low to support most life in bottom and near-bottom waters. Farmland runoff containing fertilizers and livestock waste-some of it from as far away as the Corn Belt-is the main source of the nitrogen and phosphorus that cause the Gulf of Mexico dead zone.

IN 2008 WELTWEIT ÜBER 1500 WALE ERLEGT.

WWF KRITISIERT STIMMENKAUF DURCH JAPAN

Walfang ist ökonomischer Unsinn

NORWEGEN UND JAPAN SUBVENTIONIEREN WALJAGD MIT STEUERMITTELN.

ENDE DES INTERNATIONALEN WALFANGS GEFORDERT.

Die Regierungen von Norwegen und Japan subventionieren die
umstrittene Jagd auf Wale mit Steuergeldern. Das ergab eine aktuelle
Studie der Umweltschutzorganisation WWF in Zusammenarbeit mit der
Whale & Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS). Demnach ist das Jagen
und Töten von Walen ein unprofitabler und defizitärer
Industriezweig. “In Zeiten der globalen Wirtschaftskrise ist es
weder strategisch klug, noch nachhaltig, wertvolle Steuergelder für
eine Branche zu verschwenden, die aus eigener Kraft nicht
überlebensfähig ist”, sagt WWF-Artenschutzexperte Volker Homes.
Trotz des Moratoriums und dem weitgehenden Verbot von kommerziellem
Walfang erlegen Japan und Norwegen jährlich rund 1500 der großen
Meeressäuger.

Dabei betrug in Norwegen die staatlichen Förderungen fast die
Hälfte des Bruttowerts, den die Fischerei-Handelsorganisation
Rafisklaget durch den Absatz von Walfleisch erwirtschaftet hat.
Ökonomisch ähnlich schlecht steht es um die Walfangflotte der
Japaner: Die Regierung in Tokio hat allein in der Saison 2008/2009
rund 12 Millionen US-Dollar an Steuergeldern in die umstrittene Jagd
gepumpt um eine ausgeglichene Bilanz zu erzielen. Insgesamt beliefen
sich die japanischen Subventionen der vergangenen zwanzig Jahre auf
164 Millionen US-Dollar. Demgegenüber steht eine sinkende
Nachfrage: So fiel der Preis pro Kilogramm Walfleisch in Japan von
30 US-Dollar im Jahr 1994 auf rund 16 US-Dollar im Jahr 2006. Hinzu
kommen negative Auswirkungen wie etwa Handelsboykotte oder Schäden
für den Tourismussektor. “Japan und Norwegen verschwenden
Millionen von Steuergeldern, um aus einer Trotzhaltung Wale zu
jagen. Damit schaden sie zugleich einer zunehmend profitablen
Einnahmequelle, der sanften Nutzung von Walen durch deren
Beobachtung.” sagt Nicolaus Entrup, Geschäftsführer der WDCS
Deutschland. Anlässlich der kommenden Montag beginnenden Tagung der
Internationalen Walfangkommission (IWC) auf Madeira fordern WWF und
WDCS ein Ende der Jagd auf Wale.

Die Studie des unabhängigen Wirtschaftsinstituts “eftec” im
Auftrag des WWF und der WDCS analysierte die direkten und indirekten
Kosten, die mit dem Walfang und der Verarbeitung und Vermarktung von
Walprodukten in Verbindung stehen.

All whaled out and nowhere to go …

Iceland is still planning to go ahead with the fin whale hunt, despite the fact that importers in Japan are not interested in purchasing the whale meat. If stimulating Iceland’s economy was the reason for resuming the hunt, then the lack of buyers for this product should give Iceland’s new Prime Minister all the more reason to cancel it, no? You can ask her to do just that – here.
