16 Amendments of Ska KELLER related to 2019/2163(INI)
Amendment 22 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas climate change is not the only threat to or stress factor acting on a fishing system, but is a further cause in addition to pollution, loss of habitat, overfishing, competition for space and environmental variability;
Amendment 28 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D
Recital D
D. whereas, in general, taking an ecosystem-based approach to planning and spatial management in aquaculture could improve the industry’s capacity to adapt sustainably, particularly at local level;
Amendment 29 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D a (new)
Recital D a (new)
D a. whereas the 2019 IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere reveals the benefits of ambitious mitigation and effective adaptation for sustainable development and, conversely, the escalating costs and risks of delayed action;
Amendment 31 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D b (new)
Recital D b (new)
D b. whereas the far-reaching services and options provided by ocean and cryosphere-related ecosystems can be supported by protection, restoration, precautionary ecosystem-based management of renewable resource use, and the reduction of pollution and other stressors;
Amendment 32 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D c (new)
Recital D c (new)
D c. whereas the restoration of vegetated coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrass meadows (coastal ‘blue carbon’ ecosystems), can provide climate change mitigation through increased carbon uptake and storage;
Amendment 33 #
D d. whereas such restoration actions also have multiple other benefits, such as providing storm protection, improving water quality, and benefiting biodiversity and fisheries;
Amendment 36 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital E
Recital E
E. whereas poverty and marginalisation, marginalisation, environmental destruction, overexploitation of resources and fishing pressure by foreign fleets are the primary causes of the vulnerability of certain coastal communities and the eradication of poverty and guarantees of food security for the world’s poor are essential for building up their capacity to resist the effects of climate change;
Amendment 40 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital F
Recital F
F. whereas climate change is having a very clear impact on the oceans, too, given that heat is stored to a greater extent in the water, in addition to other factors exacerbating the gravity of the situation, such as pollution, the disappearance of various species, the substitution of some species to the detriment of others, lack of oxygen, overfishing, biodiversity loss, IUU fishing, etc.;
Amendment 79 #
Motion for a resolution
Subheading 1
Subheading 1
Possible policy solutions and atwo keyword:s: 'mitigation' and ‘adaptation’
Amendment 115 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Stresses that fisheries is one of the sectors most affected by the many other uses of, and activities taking place on, the seas, such as maritime transport and tourism, urban and coastal development, the exploitation of raw materials and energy sources, and seafloor mining, as well as being affected by environmental issues such as marine pollution and climate change;
Amendment 127 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Considers it a matter of urgency to carry out anfurther impact assessment and to gather as muchdditional information as possible on the consequences of rising water temperatures for fish stocks, if possible for each individual basin, but more urgently to take the existing vast knowledge into account and act as soon as possible to prevent additional damage to marine ecosystems and fish stocks;
Amendment 136 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. Calls for proactive managementeasures to mitigate the causes for rising seawater temperatures to reduce the occurnce of extreme events, considering it also a matter of urgency to invest in adaptation measures for climate resilience (such as safety at sea, climate-resilient infrastructure, protection of marine and especially coastal ecosystems etc.), risk reduction and climate disaster prevention, while safeguarding the health of the aquatic ecosystem and providing for specific measures in the future EMFF to support affected sectorsreduce the emission of CO2 as the reason for global warming;
Amendment 151 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 – point a
Paragraph 9 – point a
a) a broader use of community-based approaches (regionalisation): many regional initiatives are looking to tackle the current challenges faced by the fisheries sector and ecosystems with measures to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change, while adhering to the efforts agreed to at global level. Cross-border management and research strategies are key, particularly with regard to combating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing;
Amendment 159 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 – point b
Paragraph 9 – point b
b) while the prevention of invasive species arrival and establishment is key, the creation of alternative livelihoods (fishing of other species): new opportunities will open up for small-scale fisheries and the communities which depend on them, as new, potentially marketable species could increase catches and therefore profitability. The arrival of non-indigenous species will also cause problems for those who fish native species;
Amendment 161 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 – point c
Paragraph 9 – point c
Amendment 166 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 9 – point d
Paragraph 9 – point d
d) by improving the resilience and economic stability of small-scale fishermen by providing better access to credit, micro-financing, insurance services and investmentlow-impact fishermen and -women by providing better access training and more selective gear, including through the future EMFF;
