The evolution of Kariat Arekmane Coast (province of Nador-Morocco) diachronic study and evaluation of proposed solutions...
Published in E3S Web of Conferences
The coastline of the Nador region, in particular at Kariat Arekmane, is undergoing rapid changes influenced by natural and human factors, including submersion and erosion. An analysis of the coastline in this area has been performed in order to better understand these changes. The study began with a granulometric analysis, followed by a diachronic ...
Sustainable tourism development and coastal management in the Marchica lagoon (Eastern Moroccan Mediterranean coast)
Published in E3S Web of Conferences
The Marchica Lagoon stands as a one-of-a-kind ecosystem, hosting remarkable biodiversity and holding substantial tourism potential. It is the site of several major development projects aimed at exploiting its potential while ensuring its preservation and environmental sustainability. This paper examines the challenges of sustainable tourism in the ...
Assessment of the Chesapeake Bay watershed socio-ecological system through the Circles of Coastal Sustainability framewo...
Published in Frontiers in Water
The concern with preserving natural resources for the future has been capturing global attention due to the state of decline of productive ecosystems. Chesapeake Bay, a large estuary located on the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States of America is such a productive ecosystem supporting thousands of animal and plants species, and the surrounding...
Enabling coastal blue carbon in Aotearoa New Zealand: opportunities and challenges
Published in Frontiers in Marine Science
Blue carbon is the carbon sequestered by coastal and marine habitats such as mangroves, saltmarsh, and seagrasses. The carbon sequestration service provided by these habitats could help to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as providing other important ecosystem services. Restoration of coastal habitats for ...
Breaching of the Sillon de Talbert gravel spit (North Brittany, France) and coastal flooding risk assessment
Coastal barriers are a natural defence against the marine submersion of low-lying back-barrier areas. In March 2018, a breach opened up in the proximal section of the Sillon de Talbert spit barrier (North Brittany, France), causing great concern among local residents and elected representatives. A study to assess the risk of submersion of the low-l...
Research on integrated coastal zone management from past to the future: a bibliometric analysis
Published in Frontiers in Marine Science
Integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) has been regarded as an effective tool for achieving sustainable development of coastal ecosystems and reducing potential human health risks, but questions remain regarding its research status and future directions. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using screened 6151 publications collected ...
LittoWag : a serious game to explore adaptation scenarios in front of coastal risks
Through the world, developed coastlines are increasingly vulnerable to sea level rise, marine submersion and erosion. According to the 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, coastal areas will be subject to a rise in sea level of between 0.15 and 0.29 metres by 2050. In addition to sea rise, more frequent and severe storms are expec...
Long-term shoreline changes at large spatial scales at the Baltic Sea: remote-sensing based assessment and potential dri...
Published in Frontiers in Marine Science
In this study, we demonstrate how freely available satellite images can be used to understand large-scale coastline developments along the coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (MWP). By validating the resulting dataset with an independent Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) dataset, we achieved a high level of accuracy for the calculation of rate...
L’aménagement des littoraux touristiques français et la perte de biodiversité : l’heure des grands choix
La France connaît une forte littoralisation depuis la fin du xixe siècle, qui s’accompagne d’ouvrages en mer et par l’artificialisation de son littoral. Les plages des stations touristiques ont été particulièrement affectées par ce processus. Promenades, ports de plaisance, enrochements de protections ont dénaturé les lieux et entraîné une forte ba...
