Monachus monachus, Mediterranean Monk Seal

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

The Mediterranean Monk Seal has rebounded from critically endangered status, but unpredictable threats exist, including disease, toxic algal blooms, cave collapses, pollution, and climate change. Greece supports a growing range of habitat for the monk seal, but the government must prioritize conservation efforts to protect them. Fisheries contribute to the pollution that threatens this species.

Aquaculture in tourist destinations: the need to consider economic aspects in environmental impact studies

Current Issues in Tourism

This article critically analyzes the implementation of marine farms in the Costa Blanca (Alicante), one of the most consolidated Sun and Beach tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. The case study shows that the environmental impact studies and other documentation accompanying these projects do not include tourism aspects, which represents a deficiency that jeopardizes the economic and social sustainability of the projects.

At sea as on land? Activists oppose industrial farming in U.S. waters

Mongabay

Agribusiness giants and other corporate interests are pushing to expand industrial finfish aquaculture into U.S. federal waters, arguing that it will help feed a growing global demand for seafood and have less environmental impact. They want Congress to pass legislation establishing a federal aquaculture system. Though Congress has not yet acted, a 2020 Executive Order is favorable to the effort. Environmental advocates are fighting against proposed congressional bills, and calling for a reversal of the executive order and a stop to the proposed projects in U.S. federal waters.
