Multifunctional integration of breakwaters: Taking ecological protection and restoration as an example

E3S Web of Conferences, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 606, P. 05006 - 05006

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

This paper focuses on breakwater design and development in coastal ecosystem protection contexts. It investigates traditional breakwaters’ negative impacts the marine ecosystem, like disrupting sediment transport reducing water exchange, causing accumulation pollution. Current research deficiencies are identified, including a lack of long-term ecological impact studies, insufficient sustainable materials, incomplete assessments local communities economy. The review breakwater-ecosystem integration three aspects. For it discusses culverts permeable breakwaters, considering their effectiveness factors location size. Eco-friendly materials concrete its benefits for organisms environment presented, along with other recycled materials’ economic advantages. importance providing biological habitats to increase biodiversity is also investigated. Case studies illustrate these concepts. However, current have limitations. Future should focus functions, compensation restoration strategies, assessments. International cooperation be enhanced more effective development.

Multi-technique subsoil characterisation in the coastal environment of Lekki Peninsula, Lagos, southwest Nigeria

NRIAG Journal of Astronomy and Geophysics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(1), P. 51 - 70

Published: Jan. 11, 2025

Integrated site investigations using VES techniques, SPT, borehole drilling, soil moisture content and specific gravity have been conducted at LFTZ, Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria. results correlated with data revealed a lithological sequence maximum five geoelectric layers. Inferred lithologies include low/moderate resistivity (45.6–206.3 Ωm) topsoil of sand/silty sand followed by succession silty sand/sand layers to depth about 45 m. Low (resistivity <300 is the prevalent in second and/or third strata >300 last layer across traverses. SPT correlate well showing subsurface very loose/loose grading sand, loose/medium dense medium dense/dense sand. Soil density Increases downward boreholes N-values (2–24). Grain size distribution curves depict uniformly graded/narrowly graded aggregates Cu Cc ranges 1.33–8.00 0.610–2.00, respectively. Moderate values (16.72–27.82) suggest that water table close surface toward nearby Atlantic Ocean. Specific (2.60–2.78) lie within range for most soils indicate salinity minimal study location.

Runaway Climate Across the Wider Caribbean and Eastern Tropical Pacific in the Anthropocene: Threats to Coral Reef Conservation, Restoration, and Social–Ecological Resilience

Atmosphere, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(5), P. 575 - 575

Published: May 11, 2025

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasingly affecting tropical seas, causing mass coral bleaching and mortality in the wider Caribbean (WC) eastern Pacific (ETP). This leads to significant loss, reduced biodiversity, impaired ecological functions. Climate models forecast a troubling future for Latin American reefs, but downscaled projections WC ETP remain limited. Understanding regional temperature thresholds that threaten reef futures restoration efforts is critical. Our goals included analyzing historical trends July–August–September–October (JASO) anomalies exploring at subregional country levels. From 1940 2023, JASO air ocean showed increases. Projections indicate even under optimistic scenario 4.5, temperatures may exceed +1.5 °C threshold beyond pre-industrial levels by 2040s +1.0 annual maximums 2030s, resulting severe mortality. Business-as-usual 8.5 suggests conditions will become intolerable conservation with decadal warming largely surpassing rates, unbearable corals. The immediate development of local adaptive plans, along climate change adaptation mitigation strategies, essential provide time scenarios materialize.

Reef restoration has gained attention as it strategic actions and powerful means in sustaining maintaining coastal ecosystem services. This scientometric study systematically analyzes the current trends research hotspot coral across last five decades (1971–2022). The metadata (12,667 articles with 652,860 cited references) were obtained from Clarivate Web of Science platform through Core Collection database, associated CiteSpace R‐software for further analysis. results indicated that trend is increasing paper/year, United States, Australia, China major contributors to related research. Furthermore, James Cook University, Australia had largest number articles, Consortium Research Libraries Kingdom was most influential institution on restoration. highly keywords are “Great Barrier Reef,” “climate change,” “coral reef,” while “coral,” “model,” “Atlantic.” A total 23 clusters field “phase shift,” “bacterial communities,” restoration,” “symbiotic dinoflagellate,” “stony tissue loss disease,” “bleaching event,” “ocean acidification,” “oyster “quantitative reconstruction” among top cluster size labeled.

Method for Calculating the Coral Health Index (Case Study: Mapur Island, Bintan, Indonesia)

BIO Web of Conferences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 134, P. 06022 - 06022

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

This study evaluates the health and condition of coral reefs in Mapur Island - Bintan Conservation Area, located Riau Islands Province, Indonesia. The research was conducted at 5 site locations using Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) method, with a focus on hard cover Coral Health Index (CHI). lifeform data were analyzed Point Count Excel extensions (CPCe) software. results revealed significant variability cover, ranging from 14.47% to 59.27%, an average 39.36%, placing “Moderate” category. However, despite high some sites, varied, certain exhibiting disease prevalence. Among sites surveyed for CHI, four classified as “healthy,” while one categorized “diseased.” Statistical analyses, including Welch’s t-test Bayesian inference, indicated no difference between CHI suggesting that does not necessarily imply healthier reef. Diseases such Pink- Blotch Syndrome, Black Band Disease, White Syndrome prevalent across several highlighting influence environmental stressors health. underscores importance regular monitoring need conservation efforts mitigate impact diseases climate change.

Published: Oct. 30, 2024

Mangroves are vital intertidal ecosystems that support biodiversity and protect coastal communities, but face increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities sustain local livelihoods. It is crucial to integrate the social dimension into conservation efforts by encouraging community participation in mangrove restoration. Chame Bay, located on central Pacific coast of Panama, a protected area with significant cover, despite its management plan, degradation continues due intensive timber extraction for charcoal production insufficient natural regeneration. This study investigates knowledge perceptions functions A proportional stratified sampling Bay population was used, 300 interviews conducted among key stakeholders, including residents resource users. Variables such as age, education, profession were analyzed relation perceptions, participation, willingness participate restoration efforts. Results indicate 24.67% population’s primary economic activity wood, 15% producers already involved 60% willing participate. These findings highlight potential community-driven emphasize need environmental education encourage participation. provides essential information designing strategies areas Central America.
