Marine Plastics: Innovative Solutions to Tackling Waste

Marine Plastics: Innovative Solutions to Tackling Waste by Siv Marina Flø Grimstad, Lisbeth Mølgaard Ottosen, Neil A. James
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 283 Pages | ISBN : 3031310578 | 37.8 MB

This book reflects aims of the Blue Circular Economy (BCE) project, which focused on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) aiming to create value using circular economy concepts related to products and services within fishing gear recycling in the Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA) area. Cluster establishment and operation were carried out in collaboration with academia, industry and government agencies following a triple-helix approach.

Coral Reefs of Eastern Asia under Anthropogenic Impacts

Coral Reefs of Eastern Asia under Anthropogenic Impacts by Ichiro Takeuchi, Hideyuki Yamashiro
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 183 Pages | ISBN : 3031275594 | 16 MB

Coral reefs, which are one of the most productive and biodiverse ecosystems on Earth, serve various important roles, such as providing shelter and spawning grounds to a wide range of marine animals. However, the global decline of hard corals in tropical and subtropical regions is a growing concern. A recent review of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicated that only 10%–30% of coral reefs would survive with an increase of 1.5 °C in global warming temperature. Of coral reefs around the world, the coral reefs in eastern Asia face one of the most industrially developed and high population areas in the world. Thus, coral reefs of eastern Asia have been affected by various anthropogenic factors, such as eutrophication, coastal development, anthropogenic pollutants, ocean acidification, disease, and overfishing. Therefore, urgent research is required to determine the levels at which different factors will affect coral health. Besides, we propose a perspective on coral reef (especially those in eastern Asia) conservation under climate change and various anthropogenic activities.

Tropical Marine Environments of Brazil: Spatio-Temporal Heterogeneities and Responses to Climate Changes

Tropical Marine Environments of Brazil: Spatio-Temporal Heterogeneities and Responses to Climate Changes by José Maria Landim Dominguez, Ruy Kenji Papa de Kikuchi, Moacyr Cunha de Araújo Filho, Ralf Schwamborn, Helenice Vital
English | PDF | 2023 | 278 Pages | ISBN : 3031213289 | 13.4 MB

This book provides an overview of the tropical marine environments of Brazil and a multi-disciplinary assessment of the impact of ongoing climate change in these environments. These changes will affect physical, biological and biogeochemical characteristics of coastal zones and oceans, modifying their ecological structure, their functions and the various services provided to humans and have the potential of causing severe socioeconomic impacts in local (coastal zone), regional (continental shelf and shallow seas) and global (ocean) scales. The Tropical Brazil presents a unique opportunity to evaluate how spatial and temporal heterogeneity influences the response and resilience of marine environments to climate changes. This region comprises the main reef constructions of the Western South Atlantic Ocean, the majority of the Brazilian deltas, one of the longest mangrove areas of the world, a very narrow and shallow continental shelf, extreme variations in sediment and nutrient flows, as well as undeniable importance in transferring heat and mass between hemispheres.
