Kuakata beach, known as Daughter of Sea in Bangladesh, has drawn a growing number tourists from all over the world, leading to higher use single plastic products. This study was first attempt describe occurrence, spatial distribution, and ecological risk microplastics (MPs) beach sediments. A total 24 surface sediment samples were collected intertidal zone MPs extracted using density separation...

Coastal erosion is a major concern and threat to the coastal habitats, livelihood socio-economic developments. The aims of present research are investigate beach dynamics, status, protection measures world famous nesting habitat near Rushikulya estuary, south Odisha coast, India.

The practice of placing sediment dredged from navigation channels in the downdrift nearshore is common US. These placements sediment, or nourishments, often correspond to a variety positive morphology and shoreline stability benefits. They are able beneficially use not directly suitable for dry beach placement, which increases volume available nourish full profile keeps system that would otherw...

The suprabenthos or hyperbenthos is the macrofaunal assemblage of small-sized organisms that interact for some time in the benthic boundary layer. Information about the taxonomic composition and role of suprabenthic species, especially in littoral zones, is scarce and scattered. This work attempts to contribute alleviate this problem. We analyze the temporal and spatial variations of suprabenth...

Data are presented indicating the complexity and highly variable response of beaches to cold front passages along the northern Gulf of Mexico, in addition to the impacts of tropical cyclones and winter storms. Within the past decade, an increase in the frequency of tropical storms and hurricanes impacting the northern Gulf has dramatically altered the long-term equilibrium of a large portion of...
