Management of Human Activities. (activitiesrelated to the management of species causing damage to crops and fisheries, power lines, (lead) poisoning, renewable energies, illegal killing/ taking and trade) x x yes

Management of Human Activities. 4.3.2 Parties shall assess the impact of proposed projects which are likely to lead to conflicts between populations listed in Table 1 that are in the areas referred to in paragraph 3.2 and human interests, and shall make the results of the assessment publicly available.

Management of Human Activities. 4.3.10 Parties shall establish appropriate measures, ideally to eliminate or otherwise to mitigate the threat from non-native terrestrial predators to breeding migratory waterbirds on islands and islets. Measures should refer to contingency planning to prevent invasion, emergency responses to remove introduced predators, and restoration programmes for islands where predator populations are already established. In light of the variety of activities which may be affected by alien species introductions, such species are often addressed in a variety of very different legislative provisions throughout the national legal framework. Even for the same type of activity (agriculture, for example), separate provisions may exist (for instance, provisions regarding the introduction of “genetically modified organisms”, as opposed to introductions of other species that are not already present in the particular habitat). In some cases, different decision-making and risk assessment processes have been set out for each different kind of activity or for each category of introduced species. Information box 15: Further guidance on legislative provisions for addressing non-native species includes:  AEWA Conservation Guidelines on the avoidance of introductions of non-native waterbird species (xxxx://xxx.xxxx-xxxx.xxx/en/publication/aewa-conservation-guidelines-no-10- guidelines-avoidance-introductions-non-native).  Shine, X., Xxxxxxxx, N. & Xxxxxxxx, L., A Guide to Designing Legal and Institutional Frameworks on Alien Invasive Species, IUCN Environmental Policy and Law Paper No. 40 (available at xxxxx://xxxxxxx.xxxx.xxx/library/efiles/documents/EPLP-040-En.pdf).

Management of Human Activities. Over the past triennium the AEWA Secretariat was a partner in a project on the development of Sustainable Hunting in the Middle East and North Africa implemented by BirdLife International. This project focussed particularly on the necessity to phase out the use of lead shot for hunting in wetlands. The AEWA Secretariat moreover undertook a survey among governmental focal points and hunting organisations of AEWA Range States, which have phased out the use of lead shot in wetlands already, in order to receive detailed information on experiences made by individual countries during this process. The outcomes of the survey have been published in an informative brochure on “Phasing out the use of lead shot for hunting in wetlands: Experiences made and lessons learned by AEWA Range States”, which is meant to provide guidance to Parties which still have to phase out the use of lead shot.

Management of Human Activities. Identification of the “Itaipava fishery” as an important cause of mortality for seabirds, including endangered species such as Yellow-nosed albatross Thallassarche chlororhynchos and Spectacled petrel Procellaria conspicillata. A broad study of fishing methods, fleet, fishing grounds, and seabird species interactions was carried out on ports and by onboard observers. A scientific manuscript is currently being produced and a manuscript is available. - Review of all bycatch data on longline fishery in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean with emphasis on Spectacled petrel have been produced and included in the RSPB Final Report for the project “Assessing the Conservation Status of Spectacled Petrel”. - Analysis of seabird bycatch and abundance during pelagic longline hauling, from a database 2000-2005. Results presented at the XXIV CCAMLR Meeting, Hobart, October, 24th to November, 4th, 2005. - Submission for publication of a volume with the results of studies carried out under the EZZ Live Resources Program of Brazilian Government about seabirds distribution and abundance in south Brazil, interaction of seabirds with pelagic and bottom longline fisheries and foraging behaviour of four main species of Procelariiformes in Brazil (Black-browed and Yellow-nosed Albatrosses and White- chinned and Spectacled Petrel) - A MSc Xxxxxx at Fundação Universidade Federal do Rio Grande – FURG is in development for the study of interaction between seabirds, sea turtles and killer whales with the longline fisheries addressed to the determine the influence of abiotical factors on those interaction - Establishment of partnership between seabirds conservation projects and the National Observers Program of Special Secretariat of Aquiculture and Fishing of the Presidency of the Republic (SEAP/PR) in order to promote capacity for the observers to collect data on seabirds interactions with longline fleets based on Brazilian northeastern and southern fishing harbors. - The Brazilian Government has included mitigation measures as a criterion for conferring permits for leased fishing vessels in Brazilian waters. - Development of criteria for the adoption of underwater setting devices in the building projects for new vessels under the Program for Renewing of the Brazilian Fishing Fleet. - Environmental licensing of seismic activities related to petroleum prospection, including research activities regarding sea birds, as well as cetaceans and turtles.
