論外國人勞工（移工）團結權之行使與保護──ILO規範基礎、工會組織實務 與團結政策 The Exercise and Protection of the Right to Solidarity of Foreign Workers (Migration) －ILO Convention, Trade Union Organization Practices... by 林良榮 Liang-Jung Lin

“…However, in practice, compared to the long-term non-unionization of white-collar foreign workers (migrant workers), blue-collar foreign workers (approximately guest workers) have long been inadequate or neglected in the protection of related rights, and gradually develop various “collective organizations”, and even in recent years have established related occupations or industrial “union” or-ganization types in specific occupational fields, such as fishermen or care workers’ unions. Observing the labor relations practices of national laborers outside our society, it is clear that the need or expectation for the protective norms (labor conditions criteria) of individual labor relations is higher than the protection of collective labor relations norms; Observation of action orientation, the degree of collective action (the result of the exercise of collective rights) of blue-collar workers (guest workers) is also much higher than that of white-collar foreign workers (migrant workers). …”

Transplantation of benthic species to mitigate impacts of coastal development in Jamaica by Peter M.H Gayle, Peter Wilson-Kelly, Sean Green

“…Maintaining regional competitiveness and economic viability for Port Bustamante -Kingston Harbour, Jamaica,required improved accessibility to "Post Panamax "(too large to pass through the Panama Canal)container vessels.Removal of the northern portion of the shallow coral reef at Rackham ’s Cay,which was partially obstructing the western end of the east ship channel,was proposed.This aesthetically valuable reef was used by local fishermen and comprises part of the declared Palisadoes -Port Royal Protected Area.The proposal to transplant certain of the benthic species was advanced to mitigate loss of viable reef components.Between December 2001 and February 2002,sixty thousand items,consisting of reef building massive and branching corals; gorgonians;urchins (Diadema and Tripneustes spp.)and Thalassia meristems were relocated.During dredging,sedimentation rates from suspended solids in the water column were 0.003 g/cm² /day at the control site and 0.008 g/cm² /day at the dredge site.Coral cover in the relocation area increased from 15%to 20%while bare substrate decreased from 27%to 21%.This paper documents the mitigation required;some factors controlling the ecology of Rackham ’s Cay reef;the methodology of the relocation process;and the level of post-dredging survivorship of relocated corals.Political and economic realities of some proposed developments often over-ride ecological considerations. …”
