Abstract We explore how solastalgia, a concept that describes distress and inability to derive solace from one’s environment caused by disruptive environmental change, is currently being experienced community in southeast Ireland as they struggle cope with place disruption through loss of beach coastal erosion. analyse relationships between empirical measurements attachment well their associati...

the usage and production of polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) was banned in argentina in2002, approximately twenty to thirty years later than in other countries. a total of 29 sediment samples (upto 14 m deep) were analyzed for a mix of seven individual pcbs in a time series for over more than one year in twelve selected locations, including harbors, recreational docks and several industrialized...

The present-day study of coastal morphodynamics involves a dynamic field of research in which combinations of coastal monitoring, process-oriented laboratory and field work, modelling studies and Data-Model Integration techniques enhance our capabilities to understand and predict coastal systems and their evolution. Innovations in coastal research and coastal instrumentation strongly interact a...

There are major differences in the bioproduction potential of different coastal areas. The aim of this work is to review and discuss simple, operational criteria related to the bioproduction potential of coastal areas and to present and motivate an Index of Biological Value (IBV) for coastal management. This index is based on two key variables, which can be determined easily from bathymetric ma...

DDT remains an important type of persistent organic pollutant (POP) in the environment of China. One of the current applications of DDT in China has been through antifouling paint for fishing ships as an active component. It has been estimated that approximately 5000 t of DDT was released into the Chinese coastal environment during the last two decades. Therefore, sediments in coastal fishing h...

Background: Hypersaline solar salterns are extreme environments in many tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. In India, there are several coastal solar salterns along with the coastal line of the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea and inland solar salterns around Sambhar saltlake, from which sodium chloride is obtained for human consumption and industrial needs. Studies on character...

Outbreaks causing mass mortalities have been observed in the golden grey mullet (Liza auratus) population in southern coastal area of the Caspian Sea since 2002. The clinical signs include neurological abnormalities, such as erratic swimming behavior, spiral swimming, belly-up at rest and over inflation of the swim bladder. Three hundred and twelve samples of moribund fish with sizes that range...
