Water Quality in Coastal Waters
The aim of this work is to introduce the potential of satellite-based remote sensing data to agencies responsible for monitoring and managing water quality in the coastal zone of Western Australia. There exists a knowledge and/or expertise gap between satellite data providers and potential end users. This project aims to close the gap by developing a fundamental management tool that will be geo...
متن کاملWater Quality Modeling in Persian Gulf Considering Thermal Pollution Sources of Industrial Plants
Numerical modeling is carried out to investigate the spreading pattern of industrial wastewater released from coastal refineries and power plant into thePersian Gulf. The pollutant sources due to the wastewater outfall of the coastal industrial plants are completely considered in the model. The effects of sources are inspected on the adjacent marine environment. The numerical model is developed...
متن کاملEffects of Sewage Discharge on Trophic State and Water Quality in a Coastal Ecosystem of the Gulf of California
This paper provides evidence of the effects of urban wastewater discharges on the trophic state and environmental quality of a coastal water body in a semiarid subtropical region in the Gulf of California. The concentrations of dissolved inorganic nutrients and organic matter from urban wastewater primary treatment were estimated. La Salada Cove was the receiving water body and parameters measu...

متن کاملDifferential Impacts of Land-Based Sources of Pollution on the Microbiota of Southeast Florida Coral Reefs
Coral reefs are dynamic ecosystems known for decades to be endangered due, in large part, to anthropogenic impacts from land-based sources of pollution (LBSP). In this study, we utilized an Illumina-based next-generation sequencing approach to characterize prokaryotic and fungal communities from samples collected off the southeast coast of Florida. Water samples from coastal inlet discharges, o...
