El manejo de las pesquerías en ríos de Sudamérica
By: Pinedo, Danny (ed.); Soria, Carlos (ed.)
Published by: Mayol Ediciones
Las pesquerías contribuyen de manera significativa a la oferta alimentaria mundial, sobre todo de las comunidades rurales pobres de los países en desarrollo, que dependen del pescado y sus derivados como principal fuente de proteína animal. Sin embargo, numerosos stocks y especies pesqueras se están disminuyendo dramáticamente, en muchos casos debido a la sobrepesca a la que se les somete, con la consiguiente pérdida de la biodiversidad acuática y de la seguridad alimentaria de millares de comunidades pobres. La sobreexplotación de las pesquerías a nivel mundial ha generado gran preocupación. Pero la discusión sobre la actual crisis pesquera se ha centrado casi exclusivamente en los recursos y biodiversidad marinos, mientras que las pesquerías de aguas continentales han recibido sólo una ligera atención. Este volumen se propone contribuir a un mayor conocimiento y difusión de las pesquerías continentales, los problemas que amenazan su sostenibilidad y las posibilidades para su manejo y conservación en los países de la cuenca amazónica.

Environmental Control in Petroleum Engineering
By: Reis, DR. John C.
Published by: Gulf Professional Publishing (Elsevier Science & Technology Books)
The petroleum industry must minimize the environmental impact of its various operations. This extensively researched book assembles a tremendous amount of practical information to help reduce and control the environmental consequences of producing and processing petroleum and natural gas. The best way to treat pollution is not to create it in the first place. This book shows you how to plan and manage production activities to minimize and even eliminate some environmental problems without severely disrupting operations. It focuses on ways to treat drilling and production wastes to reduce toxicity and/or volume before their ultimate disposal. You'll also find methods for safely transporting toxic materials from the upstream petroleum industry away from their release sites. For those sites already contaminated with petroleum wastes, this book reviews the remedial technologies available. Other topics include United States federal environmental regulations, sensitive habitats, major U.S. chemical waste exchanges, and offshore releases of oil. Environmental Control in Petroleum Engineering is essential for industry personnel with little or no training in environmental issues as well as petroleum engineering students.
