Oil, fisheries and coastal communities: A review of impacts on the environment, livelihoods, space and governance

Community Awareness of Health Problems Associated with Gas Flaring and Programme to Mitigate

“…In the context of BCW and based on knowledge is power concept, this implies lack of capacity among the communities' low-mid social class to appropriately dialogue with the government for change. This adds empirical data to supports a statement from a recent report of a review that there is "lack of grassroots orientation to the negotiation and implementation of" corporate social responsibility programs [20].…”

A self-cleaning hydrophobic MOF-based composite for highly efficient and recyclable separation of oil from water and emulsions

“…The highest vulnerability towards mammals of the seashore, fish nurseries and birds is due to the oil carried by the waves. 4 The poisonous and persistent part of oil injected into an organism is transferred to humans by the uptake of seafood. 5 The exposure of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons of crude oil to the eggs of fishes causes teratogenic effects and premature hatching of eggs.…”

Avoiding the misuse of other effective area-based conservation measures in the wake of the blue economy

“…For example, a managed area can become an OECM to recognize the benefits accruing to single populations or species, as is often the case with fisheries management measures. However, this recognition could ignore the multiple negative impacts of an oil production field on biodiversity and fisheries within the perimeter of the managed area 9 . With the exception of Canadian OECMs, which would lose recognition as OECMs if oil or gas extraction were to take place within their boundaries, and potentially some Filipino OECMs also registered as MPAs, countries do not seem to account for multi-sectoral activities within OECMs that may threaten biodiversity (Table 1).…”
