Abstract The concept of “blue growth,” which aims to promote the growth ocean economies while holistically managing marine socioecological systems, is emerging within national and international policy. often promoted as being novel; however, we show that historical analogies exist can provide insights for contemporary planning implementation blue growth. Using a case‐study approach based on expert knowledge, identified 20 fisheries or aquaculture examples from 13 countries, spanning last...
Abstract Historical data are widely used in river ecology to define reference conditions or investigate the evolution of aquatic systems. Most studies rely on printed documents from 19th century, thus missing pre‐industrial states and human impacts. This article discusses historical sources that can be reconstruct development riverine fish communities Late Middle Ages until mid‐20th century. Based Austrian Danube northern Russian rivers, we propose a classification scheme archival describe...
The paper describes and analyzes original data, extracted from historical documents scientific surveys, related to Russian fisheries in the southeastern part of Gulf Finland its inflowing rivers during 15- early 20th centuries. data allow tracing key trends development abundance major commercial species. In particular, results showed that, over time, main fishing areas moved middle downstream towards onto coastal sea. Changes patterns were closely interrelated with changes exploited fish....
Abstract We analysed catch records of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), cod (Gadus morhua), and halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) from the 17th 18th centuries several locations Barents White Seas areas. Historical records, found in Russian archives, allow analysis long-term series catches, sometimes average weight fish. In total, we obtained data on catches for 51 years (for period 1615 to 1772) 33 1710 1793). These are comparable with respect fishing effort...
Abstract A major challenge of contemporary marine science is disentangling consequences climate change from other impacts, and studying non-target species using historical resources to see long-term trends can meet this need. However, such data be fragmented, here, we demonstrate the potential leveraging across sources for insight. We assembled a variety as scientific personal observations, anecdotal information, archival fisheries create an abundance time series on threespine stickleback...
Two research trips took us to the Kola Peninsula in northern European Russia, where we visited Terskii Coast of White Sea. There, observed development nature tourism this previously undervalued Subarctic destination. A network local roads and trails has shaped tourist process. They not only serve as a key part its mobility infrastructure, but also core element heritage that links otherwise scattered isolated sites. These sites vary from prehistoric petroglyphs ancient cemeteries salmon...
We consider the foundations of widely recognized reputation Pomors as experts in dealing with severe and unpredictable marine environment White Barents Seas. Our research focuses on history Russian exploitation Spitsbergen. Though these kinds activities occupied only 1% maritime shipping North, this Arctic archipelago is contextualized within North lives its people. Thus, it provides an informative model for general understanding methods structures used to control environment. The paper...
The paper aims to discuss the multifaceted links between marine environment of Gulf Finland and representations large complex cultural heritage related city St. Petersburg. is based on a spatial imaginary Greater Petersburg as technological unity adjacent waterscapes in times Russian Empire. This concept instrumental see historical parts that has by now disintegrated been separated state borders.
This paper focuses on official Soviet attitudes towards 'ecological crisis' and the rhetoric developed to address it. It analyses in particular discussions Union that followed publication of Club Rome report Limits Growth (1972). contributes better understanding debate around resource scarcity a framework so-called as it was conceptualized late 1960s mid-1970s. is based analysis writings by geophysicist Evgenii Fedorov (1910–81) who among few members thus had direct access contemporary...
Scientists from both sides of the Iron Curtain met in Geneva 1958 and 1959 to create technical basis for monitoring a future nuclear test ban treaty. Despite their scientific veneer, these meetings were politically motivated scientists tried forward U.S. or Soviet objectives through discussions. Seismographic data was cornerstone proposed regime, but when discussions became political, so too did instruments that produced data. Thus, seismographs diplomatic objects used support challenge...
Abstract Fish and other water edible animals are the most numerous wild creatures that still perceived as natural resource. Their individuality in perception by humans is mostly not recognised. In this paper I would like to discuss how fish were displayed at World Fairs specialised Fisheries Exhibitions quite between 1880 beginning of First War. Among them Great International Exhibition London 1883 was significant abundant provided much material remains well studied historians. Many fishing...
