information on the social and demographic setting of the mark-recapture
experiment. Specifically, our goal was to analyze the existing body of data
concerning three aspects of the fishery: (1) the demographic structure of the
population residing in the tri-parish area; (2) the characteristics of
"shrimping communities" and persons engaged in the fishery; (3) the social
organization of the fishery - the norms and values that govern the patterns of
interaction within the fishery. In addition, we were to identify areas in
which additional data and research are needed to more fully understand the
fishery.

of Mexico, 1982." Food and Fiber Center, Cooperative Extension

This study assessed the value added through processing and consequently
the economic contribution of shrimp harvested and processed in the Gulf of
Mexico.
Pernetta, John C. and Danny L. Elder (19??). "Climate, Seal Level Rise
and the Coastal Zone: Management and Planning for Global Changes."
Paper prepared for the General Assembly of the International Union
for the conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.
The current use and importance of coastal zones to human populations is
outlined against a background of the present environmental problems that
include habitat loss and degradation, resource depletion and increasing
densities of population in coastal areas. The potential impacts of climatic
change and sea level rise on coastal environments, resources and their use are
discussed and the implications of the inadequacy of our present predictive
capabilities for future planning are outlined. The current unsustainable
patterns of coastal development and mismanagement of the use of coastal areas
will accentuate the potential impacts of climate change and sea level rise.
An urgent international need is for the development of a coordinated system
for vulnerability assessment of coastal areas in order that priority areas for
action can be identified in relation to their physical, biological, and human
vulnerability to predicted changes.
Perra, Paul (1992). By-catch Reduction Devices as a Conservation
Measure." Fisheries, 17(1):28-29.
A draft policy statement by the Executive Committee of the American
Fisheries Society that states (1)Encourage state and federal agencies to
promote the development, use, and implementation of bycatch reduction devices
to conserve fish and wildlife; (2) Support the continuation and expansion of
conservation engineering programs to reduce bycatch of undersize or nontarget
species; (3) Request states and other entities conducting research on turtle
and other excluder devices to develop and support programs to extensively
field test all BRD designs that allow for juvenile finfish escapement; (4)
encourage programs, though its membership, publications, and by other means,
that demonstrate the usefulness of bycatch reduction devices to the commercial
fishing industry; and (5) Support efforts to hold national and international
conferences on conservation engineering to improve technology transfer between
researchers and other groups developing bycatch reduction and other fish
separator devices.
