Coastal environmental monitoring has become an important technique for scientific research and integrated management of coastal zone, which could produce a large number of long-term, fixed-point, continuous, large-scale, multi-factor monitoring data from space, air, sea surface, underwater, to seabed and etc. In this paper, the framework of the coastal environmental monitoring data integration ...

Bangladesh has a coastline of 710 km along the Bay of Bengal, which will be extremely exposed to climatic hazards over the coming decades. At present, the improvement of people’s livelihoods of this zone largely depends on the climate adaptation approaches adopted mainly through water management and agricultural practice. Although the cross-sectoral dimension of the Integrated Coastal Zone Mana...

several heavy metal resistant bacterial strains were isolated from sediment and water samples collected from the persian gulf and enclosed industrial areas. all the isolated bacteria were identified by 16s rrna gene sequencing. isolated bacteria were tested for the presence of plasmids using the modified alkaline lysate method. the method was effective for identification and characterization of...

The intensity and magnitude of change that characterize coastal areas now demand the implementation of collective processes and tools to enhance coastal zone knowledge and management. Our hypothesis is that Coastal Spatial Data Infrastructures (CSDI) can contribute to Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) through a combination of technologies, policies and institutional arrangements to impr...

Stresses impacting the coastal zone in the Asia-Pacific region are briefly reviewed under the headings of sustainable coastal activities, coastal ecosystem management, community/resource interactions, coastal resource economics and sustainability, coastal area planning, and integrated coastal policies. Recent contributions on mitigation of these stresses are introduced, with emphasis on the Coa...

The risk of climate-change induced sea-level rise damage to human and economic development in coastal areas of The Gambia is mounting. The combined effect of sea-level rise and changes in upstream river discharge, erosion of coastal embankmentsand changes to natural sediment dynamics, pose a serious threat to the natural resources base and livelihood opportunities of coastal communities(UNDP, 2...

Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its related effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and exhibit higher rates of population growth and urbanisation. As this trend is expected to continue into the future, we investigate how coastal populations will be affected by such impacts at global and regional scales...
