the distribution of yellowfin seabream populations in estuaries and inland rivers in coastal area of the persian gulf and strait of hormuz is presented. based on morphological and mersitic characteristics and also color pattern, these populations are assigned to the recently described sparid fish, acanthopagrus arabicus iwatsuki, 2013 which is distinguished by pelvic and anal fins vivid or stro...

The ability to cope with the complexity surrounding the coastal zone requires an integrated approach for sustainable socio-economic development and environmental management. The concept of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) was advanced in response to this. In line with the success story of spatial data infrastructure (SDI), initiatives are currently emerging to develop SDI for marine an...

1. introduction seas and oceans comprise over 70 percent of the planet earth always taken into attention in the history. however, the most important official and legal actions to regularize a number of claims made by coastal countries regarding the demand of the territorial and marine control and exclusive ownership date the 20th century. the first conference on marine international law was hel...

While executing tasks such as sea surveilling, maritime searching and rescue, sea pollution monitoring utilizing remote sensed images, the coastal line feature should be determined at first. Thresholding methods is a type of simple but valid methods for image segmentation, likewise, they can be used to detect coastal line feature in remote sensed images. However, while conventional thresholding...

This exercise shows students how to relate remotely sensible properties of coastal waters to variations in river discharge using on‐line data resources. Students can then test hypotheses about the effects of climate changes (drought and wet periods), anthropogenic impacts (urbanized, agricultural, or undeveloped watersheds), or seasonality on river discharges and their consequences, if any, on ...

The world's coastal zones are experiencing rapid development and an increase in storms and flooding. These hazards put coastal communities at heightened risk, which may increase with habitat loss. Here we analyse globally the role and cost effectiveness of coral reefs in risk reduction. Meta-analyses reveal that coral reefs provide substantial protection against natural hazards by reducing wave...

MOORE, L.J.; RUGGIERO, P., AND LIST, J.H., 2006. Comparing mean high water and high water line shorelines: Should proxy-datum offsets be incorporated into shoreline change analysis? Journal of Coastal Research, 22(4), 894– 905. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. More than one type of shoreline indicator can be used in shoreline change analyses, and quantifying the effects of this practi...
