“…Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, divided into two geopolitical subregions by the United Nationsmonitored buffer zone, the Green Line (Sabri and Sakallı 2021). This study focuses on the coastal waters of Northern Cyprus (Figure 1), where small-scale coastal fisheries operate using wooden boats of <12m length with inboard diesel engines (Ulman et al, 2015), using bottom-set gillnets and trammel nets, benthic longlines, with a small number of pelagic longlines (Snape et al, 2013).…”

IntroductionLoss of biodiversity in marine ecosystems is a globally acknowledged problem. To address this and avoid extinctions, improved conservation is required to protect and restore our oceans. Elasmobranch species are considered the second most threatened vertebrate lineage, with overfishing considered the most important driver of declines. The Mediterranean Sea is a hotspot for elasmobranchs, with the eastern basin considered a data-poor area. MethodsThis study sought to address that deficiency, using bycatch data to assess the diversity and distribution of elasmobranch species caught as a result of commercial fishing in Northern Cyprus from 2018 to 2022. ResultsThirty-six elasmobranch species were recorded, including 24 new records for Northern Cyprus, representing 41% of all species recorded in the Mediterranean. Of these 36 species, 61% are listed on the IUCN Red List as globally threatened (Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable). Of the species recorded, 71% of sharks (n=17), and 53% of batoids (skates and rays; n=19) are listed as threatened. We present data on the distribution of captures and size classes and infer life stage from these data. DiscussionOur study demonstrates the importance of the coastal waters of Cyprus for multiple life stages of a broad range of elasmobranch species. As most elasmobranchs caught are retained for bait, subsistence or trade, our study has highlighted the need to update the regulations for this small-scale fishery, and led to a recent amendment to prohibit trade in all species listed under the Barcelona Convention.

“…С точки зрения географии региона в последние годы за рубежом часто рассматриваются государственные образования де-факто в Европе (Косово, Турецкая Республика Северного Кипра) (Sabri, Sakalli, 2021), Африке (Сомалиленд, Западная Сахара) Ingiriis, 2021). Как правило, отдельно и весьма активно анализируется постсоветское пространство (Приднестровье, Абхазия, Южная Осетия, Нагорный Карабах, ЛНР, ДНР) , но зачастую эти же государства рассматриваются и в контексте стран европейского региона (Молдовы, Украины) (Miarka, 2020) или Южного Кавказа (Грузии, Армении) .…”

Touches upon the foreign economic interactions of the partially recognized states - the Republic of South Ossetia. The development of states that have arisen, as a rule, as a result of armed conflicts, and are designated in world practice through variousterms (unrecognized states, secessions, de facto states, etc.), has a constant scientific interest. In recent years, research has been updated in the search for factors and mechanisms of self-development of such states, which does not imply absolute economic and social isolation, therefore, one of the mechanisms is external relations and trade interactions. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the features, trends, barriers and risks of export-import relations of the republic with the regions of the Russian Federation. The study was conducted using methods of empirical analysis of statistical data, as well as normative and cartographic analysis and presentation of results. The main sources of analytical information were the site data ru-stat.com. The period of the analysis is January 2013 - January 2022. The analysis revealed the current features and trends of trade relations between Russia and South Ossetia, including the transition of the customs authorities of South Ossetia to the standards of the Eurasian Economic Union; an increase in import volumes and tax revenues from it. There are three types of barriers to increasing imports to Russia - transport and logistics, institutional, and structural. The emergence of certain risks of the foreign trade relations with Russia is not excluded, in particular, the occurrence of pandemics like COVID-19, exchange rate fluctuations of the Russian currency, sanctions pressure. In general, the republic has long-term trade relations with Russian regions, primarily in terms of imports. Nevertheless, the Government of the Republic faces the strategic task of strengthening and increasing trade interactions.
