The principal goal of this study was to determine the potential benefits of using Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) to manage marine resources and ocean space, emphasizing state
ocean interests. We also wanted to know how these benefits might foster more integration in
ocean management, as well as more equity, efficiency,...
Indigenous knowledge (creation of human well-being with a modicum of Earth resources) in India was augmented in the twentieth century with new technologies. The new technologies have raised Indian well-being, but these

Certaines populations marines, de par leur capacité à réaliser des déplacements de grande envergure, marquent leur distribution spatiale d'une forte variabilité; Celle ci s'inscrit souvent dans un cycle saisonnier avec une reproductibilité interannuelle. Ces déplacements sont liés soit à une migration saisonnière entre plusieurs aires, soit à une concentration saisonnière...
Les graves atteintes aux équilibres des écosystèmes côtiers et littoraux sont devenues une préoccupation partagée par les chercheurs et les développeurs. La détérioration du bien-être des populations gui en sont soit la cause, soit la conséquence, impose la révision du discours économique prédominant dans les programmes de développement. L'impératif de...
