  1. Legal Fragmentation Analyzer

  2. Outline • Background and Objective of technique • Method • How technique works • Screen shots of program

  3. Objective of Ecosystem-Based Management Manage for connections in ecosystem • Need to know: • Where does management account for the ecosystem? • Where do we need to restructure/add new law? These will differ by ecological system, socio-cultural and economic context, and geography!

  4. Method of Gap Analysis Given the relationships between components defined in an ecosystem model: • Which relationships are explicitly acknowledged in law? • Which are not explicitly addressed in law? (=gaps) • Gap = Linkage that exist in the ecosystem that is absent in management • NOTE: Laws (statutes and regulations) are used to represent management

  5. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Ecosystem 1:Food Web of the Gulf of Farallones Two Ecosystem Models Ecosystem 2: Species with Biophysical Conditions and Human Stressors (www.farallones.org/documents/education/FoodWeb.pdf) How technique works

  6. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Ecosystem 1:Food Web of the Gulf of Farallones (www.farallones.org/documents/education/FoodWeb.pdf) How technique works

  7. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Food Web of the Gulf of Farallones Convert to matrix format Ecosystem linkage (represented by an arrow in the pictorial diagram) www.farallones.org/documents/education/FoodWeb.pdf How technique works

  8. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Food Web of the Gulf of Farallones Federal law and regulation State law and regulation These are the sections of law that potentially acknowledge, account for, or even mitigate for the ecosystem links Ecosystem linkage These are the ecosystem relationships that are absent in law Gap (ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad ) How technique works

  9. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Food Web of the Gulf of Farallones • Interpretation • Overall low degree of fit between entire ecosystem and laws • Some of the food web interactions are potentially accounted for in law • Interactions involving lower trophic levels are not explicit in law or regulation Federal law and regulation Ecosystem linkage Gap (ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad ) How technique works

  10. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Ecosystem 2:Species with Biophysical Conditions and Human Stressors (Suggested amendments fromwww.farallones.org/documents/education/FoodWeb.pdf) How technique works

  11. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Species with Biophysical Conditions and Human Stressors Convert to matrix format Direct ecosystem linkage Amended from www.farallones.org/documents/education/FoodWeb.pdf Indirect ecosystem linkage How technique works

  12. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Species with Biophysical Conditions and Human Stressors Federal law and regulation State law and regulation Direct ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Indirect ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Direct ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) Indirect ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) How technique works

  13. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Species with Biophysical Conditions and Human Stressors Federal law and regulation These are all sections of law that potentially acknowledge, account for, or even mitigate for the ecosystem links. Reveal areas that could be strengthened to deal with these interactions Direct ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Indirect ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Direct ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) Indirect ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) How technique works

  14. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Species with Biophysical Conditions and Human Stressors Federal law and regulation Direct ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Indirect ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Direct ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) Indirect ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) How technique works

  15. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Species with Biophysical Conditions and Human Stressors Federal law and regulation Direct ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Indirect ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Direct ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) Indirect ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) How technique works

  16. Demonstration of analyses for Gulf of Farallones Species with Biophysical Conditions and Human Stressors Federal law and regulation • Interpretation • Lower degree of fit between entire ecosystem and laws • A few stressors to species interactions may be accounted for in law • Species interactions, and stressors-species interactions are not explicit in law or regulation Direct ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Indirect ecosystem linkage with one more section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad Indirect ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) Indirect ecosystem linkage with no section of law containing co-occurrence of dyad (=gap) How technique works
