Sustainable dive tourism: Social and environmental
impacts — the case of Roatan, Honduras
In
this article the only disadvantage is that you have to pay to get all the
information but according with abstract, this article is bout: The strong
reliance on healthy and attractive coral reefs, the tourism sector on Roatan is
particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This article examines
past and current development paths and management efforts on Roatan and
proposes avenues in order to achieve sustainable development of the tourism
sector while safeguarding ecosystem quality. This has a coastal zone management,
a whole ecosystem approach and the recognition of the importance of social
aspects for the success of management tools such as marine protected areas can
greatly contribute to that goal.

Consistency
and inconsistency in multispecies population network dynamics of coral reef
Ecosystems
This
article is about an experiment by marine ecology progress series. This consist Different
marine species and their larvae have characteristics that can expand or
contract their potential dispersal, which can add complexity to the management
of species assemblages. The methodology used to investigate the network
dynamics of larval dis-persal in the Caribbean; they used a multi-scale
bio-physical model, the Connectivity Modeling System. According to Resource
managers, therefore, are often concerned with the sources of larvae coming into
their managed areas, and productive larval sources are generally considered
good candidates for protection in Honduras coral reef.

Local agro-ecological knowledge and its relationship
to farmers’ pest management decision making in rural Honduras
This article talks about a research doe in rural communities in
Honduras. Experience has shown that to
ensure IPM adoption, the complexities of local agro-production systems and
context-specific folk knowledge need to be appreciated. The research explored
the linkages between farmer knowledge, pest management decision making, and
ecological attributes of subsistence maize agriculture. They report a case
study from four rural communities in the highlands of southeast Honduras.
Communities were typified by their agro-environments, IPM training history, and
levels of infestation by a key maize pest, the fall armyworm (Spodoptera
frugiperda Smith). Farmers who were knowledgeable about biological
control were also familiar with a larger variety of pest management
alternatives than uninformed farmers. Management options covered a wide range
of curative techniques, including conservation biological control. Farmers who
relied on insecticides to manage pest outbreaks knew less about biological
control and pesticide alternatives.
