Shoreline Change along Sheltered Coastlines: Insights from the Neuse River Estuary, NC, USA
Coastlines are constantly changing due to both natural and anthropogenic forces, and climate change and associated sea level rise will continue to reshape coasts in the future. Erosion is not only apparent along oceanfront areas; shoreline dynamics in sheltered water bodies have also gained greater attention. Additional estuarine shoreline studies are needed to better understand and protect coa...
متن کاملSolving problems resulting from solutions: evolution of a dual nutrient management strategy for the eutrophying Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina.
In estuaries, phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) inputs generally control freshwater and saltwater primary production, respectively. Improved wastewater P removal and a P-detergent ban in the late 1980s decreased P loading to the nutrient over-enriched Neuse River Estuary, NC, without a contemporaneous reduction in N loading. This led to a decrease in upstream freshwater phytoplankton production a...
متن کاملMethylmercury cycling in estuarine sediment pore waters (Penobscot River estuary, Maine, USA)
Particulate mercury (Hg) sequestered in coastal marine sediments may be efficiently methylated to highly toxic methylmercury (MeHg), thereby placing exposed organisms at risk of MeHg bioaccumulation. The Penobscot River estuary in Maine, U.S.A., has been subject to Hg contamination from multiple industries including a recently closed chlor-alkali production facility. Pore-water depth profiles o...
متن کاملFish kills, bottom-water hypoxia, and the toxic Pfiesteria complex in the Neuse River and Estuary
A recent paper by Paerl et al. 'Ecosystem responses to internal and watershed organic matter loading: consequences for hypoxia in the eutrophying Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina, USA' (1998; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 166:17-25) makes the statement that increased nitrogen loading to the Neuse River Estuary has led to algal blooms which produced organic matter loads capable of causing extensive hypox...
متن کاملStudy of trace metals during estuarine mixing of Jarahi River water with the Musa Estuary water
Flocculation of metals is one of the most important estuarine processes that occur due to the mixing of seawater and river water and colloidal metals undergo this process come in the form of flocculants. Due to the important role of flocculation process in producing suitable food sources for aquatic organisms and reducing the amount of input pollution into aquatic environments, the present stud...
