Mangroves stand out as one of the most diverse and biologically significant natural systems in world. Playing critical roles maintaining health productivity coastal ecosystems, mangroves provide a range services functions, including habitat for local fauna flora, food other goods, carbon sequestration, protection from disasters such storm surges erosion. It is also evident that face several threats, which have already led to gradual depletion mangrove areas worldwide. Based on analysis current related historical literature data, this review summarises functions threats challenges associated with management practices. Our findings suggest development, expanded aquaculture, deforestation, climate change, implications eutrophication, diseases, pollution are major factors posing sustainability. We highlight various challenges, land use conflict, lack stringent regulatory actions, inadequate policy government frameworks, community awareness, underlie ineffective management. The implementation inclusive coordinated approaches involving stakeholders different backgrounds interests, governmental non-governmental organisations, academia essential restoration sustainable by adapting mitigation strategies.

A systematic review of mangrove restoration studies in Southeast Asia: Challenges and opportunities for the United Nation’s Decade on Ecosystem Restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 9

Опубликована: Сен. 29, 2022

Mangroves provide valuable ecological and socio-economic services. The importance of mangroves is particularly evident in Southeast (SE) Asia where the most extensive diverse forests are found. To recover degraded mangroves, several SE Asian countries have implemented restoration programs. However, to date, there has been no systematic quantitative synthesis on mangrove studies region. Here, we a bibliometric-based analysis understanding trends future directions needed meet biodiversity targets Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, analyzed 335 articles (249 with attributes; 86 social attributes) published until February 2022 from Scopus Web Science databases. Mangrove attributes started around early 1990s mostly Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines. Majority stronger collaboration western rather than within Reasons vary per country, but were intended rehabilitate damaged mangroves. Direct planting was common method used while hydrological rehabilitation less practiced. Research dominated by biodiversity-related focused flora fauna, other ecosystem services (e.g., coastal protection, fisheries production, etc.). Studies only accounted <30% publications, topics related economics. Although apparent, some thematic foci needed. We propose priority research help achieve 2030.

Environmental impact of submerged and emerged breakwaters

Heliyon, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 8(12), С. e12626 - e12626

Опубликована: Дек. 1, 2022

Coastlines are constantly threatened by erosion. Effective coastal defense structures with the least environmental impacts increasingly required. Submerged and emerged breakwaters have been implemented globally, while positively or negatively creating on environment. One of most significant concerns in applying is how to minimize their undesirable consequences Thus, a thorough understanding submerged affect surrounding environment must be achieved. This article critically reviews summarizes beach morphology, hydrodynamics, ecology, tourism, recreation, as well other notable impacts. review that may help practitioners manage erosion more sustainably.

Is the coastal future green, grey or hybrid? Diverse perspectives on coastal flood risk management and adaptation in the UK

Cambridge Prisms Coastal Futures, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 2

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Abstract Climate change-induced sea level rise has exacerbated coastal change putting millions of people at risk from hazards, such as flooding and erosion. Nature-based solutions have been recognised an opportunity to simultaneously address the hazard risks achieve biodiversity goals. While are included in climate adaptation strategies, “hard” engineered still often preferred by those implementing schemes. We sought explore diverse perspectives on UK flood management among interested and/or affected groups utilising Q-methodology. identified five perspectives: (1) The Pro-Green Practitioners; (2) Future-Planning Relocators; (3) Case-by-Case Thinkers; (4) Cautious Practitioners (5) Change Concerned. All strongly valued co-benefits nature-based their role reduction. None prioritised hard-engineered primary protection strategy UK, though they protecting essential infrastructure. main disagreements between were need for relocation whether could cause social inequalities. Q-methodology does not identify how prevalent are, thus further research is needed assess acceptance solutions.

Creating ecosystem buffers in intertidal zones, such as seagrass meadows, has gained increasing attention a nature-based solution for mitigating storm-driven coastal erosion. This study presents what-if scenarios using an integrated model framework to determine the effectiveness and strategies planting reduce The comprises two levels of simulation packages. first level is regional-scale coupled hydrodynamic that simulates processes specific storm provides boundary forces morphodynamic XBeach apply at next level, which nearshore morphological evolution. applied open coast Norderney German Bight North Sea. We demonstrate optimising location size meadows crucial increase efficiency onshore sediment erosion mitigation. For depth range, depending on storm's intensity, most significant reduction may not be achieved by starting meadow permits largest size. To maintain protection effect, density stem height should considered together, ensuring least 80 % compared unprotected coast. valuable insights design implementation transplantation solution, highlighting importance considering location, size, density, when protection.

Environmental impacts of shore revetment

Heliyon, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 9(9), С. e19646 - e19646

Опубликована: Сен. 1, 2023

Coastal structures, especially revetments, have been widely implemented to protect properties and infrastructures from erosive waves during storms. While being incompatible with nature-based solutions, revetments still constructed due their effectiveness in solving coastal erosion. One of the most crucial concerns that should be considered as part a revetment implementation is how diminish manage its possible impacts on environment. Thus, thorough understanding affect surrounding environment must achieved. This article critically reviews summarizes economic considerations, environmental beach morphology, hydrodynamics, ecology, aesthetics, accessibility, recreation, other notable aspects. practitioners researchers, who are involved may increase awareness before implementing them. The can an excellent option eroding shoreline, if consequences well-understood properly managed.
