Over the past few thousand years, human development and population expansion in southern China have led to local extirpation and population contraction of many terrestrial animals. At what extent this early human-induced environmental change has also affected coastal marine species remains poorly known. We investigated the demographic history of the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensi...

Abstract Morphological changes of Talakar’s coastline covering three administrative subdistrict has been modelled numerically in terms sedimentation build up. Shoreline is one the dynamic processes as parts natural for to reach their subsequent equilibrium resulting bathimetrical alteration coastal bed. Sedimentation modeling simulation conducted coastlines North Galesong, and South Galesong su...

Mangroves dwell at the land-ocean interface and are thus encroached upon by competing land use at the coastal zone. They are also subject to impacts from catchments developments. As a result, mangroves worldwide are having their extension changed (Spalding et al, 1997). Worldwide it is well accepted that mangrove extension is decreasing mostly due to conversion to other uses, in particular aqua...

Mangrove forests, important tropical coastal habitats, are in decline worldwide primarily due to removal by humans. Changes to mangrove systems can alter ecosystem properties through direct effects on abiotic factors such as temperature, light and nutrient supply or through changes in biotic factors such as primary productivity or species composition. Despite the importance of mangroves as tran...

respectively), it has not been subjected to the Agency's required peer and policy review and therefore does not necessarily reflect the views of the Agency and no official endorsement should be inferred. Executive Summary The Estuarine and Great Lakes (EaGLe) program was established to develop a suite of new, integrative indicators of ecological condition for the coastal zones of the contiguous...

Consisting of semi-circular body, coastal region in the Banten Bay holds a significant role for both marine ecosystem and human activities. The change its coastline due to erosion/sedimentation process may affect economic purposes. This study aims figure out evidence changes using remote sensing numerical model. recording satellite data from Landsat 5 TM, 7 ETM+ 8 OLI during 1990 - 2019, are em...
