Beach width, dune height, and vegetation coverage are key parameters to assess beach resistance resilience storms. However, coastal development often causes ecosystem degradation due poor management. We propose a Coastal Resilience Index from Remote Sensors (CRIfRS) for urbanized coasts based on aerial photogrammetry. The study area, located along 7.8 km stretch of coast barrier island, is char...

to study the population structure of decapods in the intertidal zone of bushehr rocky shores, some random sample collection from four rocky and rubble shores of bushehr were done using a 50×50 quadrates sampling unit, in four successive seasons from autumn 2009 to summer 2010. totally 8 speciesbelonging to 5 family of decapods were identified and counted. in the whole course of sample collectio...

This paper discusses maritime traffic management in the boarding process of pilots when approaching a port. For efficiency reason ships are brought as close together and as close to shore as possible. For safety reason ships should remain well separated from each other and at a safe distance from shore. By realising a clear traffic structure the shore-based pilot maintains situation awareness a...

By reducing current velocity, tidal marsh vegetation can diminish storm surges and storm waves. Conversely, currents often exert high mechanical stresses onto the plants and hence affect vegetation structure and plant characteristics. In our study, we aim at analysing this interaction from both angles. On the one hand, we quantify the reduction of current velocity by Bolboschoenus maritimus, an...

Ocean wave parameters are influenced by shallowing water depth and varying bottom topography. Modelling in-situ studies have found that as waves propagate over a reef, interaction in the form of friction with shallower reef can alter height, spectra, wavelength, direction. Quantifying transformation submerged structures will inform aid design future coastal protection. The natural at Palm Beach...

Combinations of proline and glutamine significantly increased the functional properties of soft wheatthat were unseen when added individually. To hard wheat, proline contributed more positively than glutamine onmost dough and bread properties, which is different from the observations with soft wheat. Addition of glutamine tohard wheat increased the amount of gluten and glutenin afte...

Tropical transpacific fishes occur on both sides of the world’s largest deep-water barrier to the migration of marine shore organisms, the 4,000to 7,000-km-wide Eastern Pacific Barrier (EPB). They include 64 epipelagic oceanic species and 126 species of shore fishes known from both the tropical eastern Pacific (TEP) and the central and West Pacific. The broad distributions of 19 of 39 circumglo...
