متن کاملConservation, Protection and Rehabilitation of Coastal Communities and Ecosystems
Human society and coastal ecosystems are very closely interlinked and interdependent. A vast majority of the population live in coastal areas, and depend on marine and coastal resources for food, employment and income. Focused assessments made by United Nations University (UNU) indicate that this human dependence on the life-sustaining coastal resources is under threat from a range of destabili...
متن کاملLow-Canopy Seagrass Beds Still Provide Important Coastal Protection Services
One of the most frequently quoted ecosystem services of seagrass meadows is their value for coastal protection. Many studies emphasize the role of above-ground shoots in attenuating waves, enhancing sedimentation and preventing erosion. This raises the question if short-leaved, low density (grazed) seagrass meadows with most of their biomass in belowground tissues can also stabilize sediments. ...
متن کاملThe value of coastal wetlands for hurricane protection.
Coastal wetlands reduce the damaging effects of hurricanes on coastal communities. A regression model using 34 major US hurricanes since 1980 with the natural log of damage per unit gross domestic product in the hurricane swath as the dependent variable and the natural logs of wind speed and wetland area in the swath as the independent variables was highly significant and explained 60% of the v...
متن کاملSea-level rise induced amplification of coastal protection design heights
Coastal protection design heights typically consider the superimposed effects of tides, surges, waves, and relative sea-level rise (SLR), neglecting non-linear feedbacks between these forcing factors. Here, we use hydrodynamic modelling and multivariate statistics to show that shallow coastal areas are extremely sensitive to changing non-linear interactions between individual components caused ...
