Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of its components are the major objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). To achieve these objectives, many marine protected areas (MPAs) were identified and developed. The success of these protected areas depends upon several factors of local concern. The failure of coastal and marine biodiversity protection was mainly caused by the environmental changes influenced by anthropogenic activities, overexploitation of resources, habitat loss because of developmental activities, and natural change in climate. This chapter highlights the status of these activities in the island environment and provides potential strategies for its protection by mainstreaming biodiversity with people’s participation.
