Text 1
In
all the discussion over the removal of lead from petrol there doesn’t seem to
have been any mention of difference between driving in the city and the
country.
While
I realise my leaded petrol car is polluting the air wherever I drive, I feel
that when you travel through the country, where you only see another car every
five to ten minutes, the problem is not as severe as when traffic is
concentrated on city roads.
Those
who want to penalise older, leaded petrol vehicles and their owners don’t seem
to appreciate that, in the country, there is no public transport to fall back
upon and one’s own vehicle is the only way to get about.
I
feel that country people, who often have to travel huge distances to the
nearest town and who already spend a great deal of money on petrol, should be
treated differently to the people who live in the city.

The
Impact of Tsunami
The
Asian 2004 tsunami was probably the worst natural disaster in human memory
because of the numbers of people affected. Many studies have been written about
its impact on human life, communities and livelihoods. In this context, the
fisheries sector has featured prominently as one of the areas most affected by
the disaster. This study focuses on the issue whether or not fishery resources
were affected by the tsunami, particularly in Indonesia and Sri Lanka, the two
most impacted countries. The answer to this question is fundamental to promote
necessary efforts to recover fishery livelihoods in the regions.
Data
from the Aceh Province Fisheries Statistics Yearbooks (1995–2005 shows there
was a general decrease then an increase in the overall number of boats from
1994 to 2004, but part of this was attributable to switching from many small
boats to a smaller number of larger boats with inboard engines. Using only data
on total number of boats, not the details of their capacity, the catch per boat
increases from 4.4 tonnes/boat/year in 1994 to 8.4 tonnes/boat/year in 1998.
Between 2002 and 2004 catch per boat decreased while the number of boats
increased and production fluctuated. The number of vessels and the catch per
vessel are almost mirror images and the best catches over the past decade
tended to occur when the total number of boats was below 15 000.
Minimal
provincial fisheries data are available for the period since the tsunami, but
at Lampulo, Banda Aceh, it was possible to obtain some monthly data on catch,
catch per boat, trips and number of boats between February 2004 and May 2006.
These data show that catch per boat and total catch actually increased in 2005 and
2006 compared with 2004. This is considered to be related to the reduced number
of boats and fishing trips after the disaster.
The
quantity and productivity of marine fish resources in Sri Lanka is driven by
the presence of a narrow continental shelf and the lack of significant areas of
upwelling. Between 1977 and 1980, acoustic surveys of coastal waters were
undertaken4 to estimate a potential yield of about 250_000 tonnes/ year. The
yearly data give a good picture of how the fisheries were behaving over longer
time frames before the tsunami. The monthly catch data show significant
seasonal patterns that tend to repeat over the years and different responses to
the tsunami which can be highlighted as follows:
Monthly
total catches in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka, quickly rebounded after February/March
2005 so that catches were back in the normal range for that time of year. At
Ampara catches rebounded but not back to the monthly equivalent levels of 2004.
For
small pelagic species one district showed an increase in catches after the
tsunami, two districts had lower catches a year after the tsunami, while four
districts showed no difference in catches and a continuation of long-term
trends within a few months of the tsunami.
The
available evidence shows that overall, impacts of the tsunami on fisheries are
more related to ongoing and new tsunami-related “human” factors, rather than
the physical or biological effects of the disaster on resources and ecosystems.
That is, existing overexploitation trends had already brought many of the
fisheries under severe stress before the tsunami. (Adapted from http://www.fao.org/3/a-ai000e.pdf
