    'GoFish' Decision Support System: An evaluation aid for managing environmental impacts in marine commercial fisheries
    (Lincoln University, 2001-12) Kerr, Geoffrey; Hughey, Kenneth; Cullen, R
    New Zealand has the world's fourth largest Exclusive Economic Zone and a very large commercial fishery. Arguably, this fishery is one of the best managed in the world Nevertheless, many problems remain to be solved, especially environmental problems. Many of these problems can be categorised as externalities from commercial fishing. We (Hughey et al. 2000) have identified a wide range of policy instruments that can be applied to the internalisation of these externalities. In Cullen et al. (2000) we reported on criteria to measure the effectiveness of these instruments and established a framework for this evaluation. We have now developed a MS Access application which operationalises this framework and the main findings from the previous two reports. This report provides guidelines for implementing the application, including listing the range of potential uses for policy making. Assumptions and limitations involved in operationalising this pilot system are also identified.

    Characterization and regeneration of low-cost adsorbents for heavy metal removal: Insights from contaminant transport in Sri Lankan agricultural soils
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Gunawardhana, T; Erwin, E; Deepagoda, Chamindu
    Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) is a major public health concern in the NorthCentral Province (NCP) of Sri Lanka, where groundwater heavy metal contamination is suspectedas a key contributing factor. This study investigates the mobilization and transport of in-situ heavymetals in agricultural soils from Medawachchiya and Horowpathana and examines the movementof artificially introduced Cadmium and Lead through soil column experiments. Four locally avail-able, low-cost bio-adsorbents namely, Mahogany sawdust (MG-A), Jackfruit peels (JF-A), Rice husk (RH-A), and Coconut husk (CH-A) were evaluated for Cd²⁺ removal from synthetic groundwater.Among them, MG-A demonstrated the highest adsorption efficiency (73.12% for 80 mg/L and 92.2% for 10 mg/L), outperforming JF-A (60.07%), RH-A (36.73%), and CH-A (16.54%). Adsorbentcharacterization using FTIR, FE-SEM, and BET analyses revealed that surface functionality and por-osity played key roles in adsorption performance. Regeneration studies showed that acid (HCl) treatment restored the adsorption capacity of MG-A by 91.49%, indicating strong reusabilitypotential. The novelty of this research lies in integrating soil transport experiments with bio-waste-derived adsorbent development, providing a comprehensive understanding of heavy metal mobil-ity and remediation. These findings demonstrate a sustainable, community-adaptable approach formitigating Cd²⁺ contamination in groundwater, offering practical and scalable solutions to reduce CKDu risks in vulnerable regions
