Coastal zones occupy a prominent position in the sustainable management perspective of Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima (TTA) region because they accommodate a majority of the region’s population and contribute to the economic wellbeing of local communities. High demographic and economic pressures associated to climatic and environmental factors increase...

Le soluzioni basate sulla natura, nature-based solutions, (NBS), come le infrastrutture verdi e blu, il ripristino ambientale o la gestione integrata delle zone costiere, sono concetti associati alla gestione del rischio e alla mitigazione del cambiamento climatico che hanno acquisito maggiore visibilità e sono stati promossi nel quadro del recente...

In order to mitigate the potentially dramatic effects of natural hazards, risk management measures are critical. However, the lack of interdisciplinary indicators and adaptable governance frameworks highlights society's vulnerability in the particular context of global environmental and climate change. This interdisciplinary research aimed at ident...

Islands are often considered excellent socio-ecological laboratories for testing the rapidity of global change since they experience the climate effects of sea-level rise faster than other areas. The Azores are a Portuguese volcanic archipelago located on the junction of the three tectonic plates: the Eurasian, the African and the North American pl...

Risk management is used in societies to mitigate the potentially dramatic effects of natural hazards. Local authorities and managers use different indicators in elaborating rescue and urbanism plans, which are not always efficient in reducing impact in the time of the crisis. This highlights society’s vulnerability in the particular context of glob...

In a comment on our manuscript recently published in this journal [1], Salhi (2020) raises concerns about the manuscript and the study on which it was based, concluding that ‘the article provides a distorted picture of the reality in the study area’. The points raised by the comment are mainly dealing with the literature review and methodological i...

Wetlands are severely endangered ecosystems worldwide. They provide important services, like water supply, recreation opportunities, flood and climate regulation. Still, they are also considered as disruptive areas, a source of mosquitoes and diseases, which is why they are frequently destroyed by changes in land use. Their degradation is likely to...

North Morocco (region Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima) is characterized by high demographic and economic pressures, which intensify the vulnerability of the coastal areas. Morocco lies both along the Atlantic and the Mediterranean coast, having a rich relief of mountain chains (Atlas and Rif). This diverse context induces the challenge of adapting to en...

Risk management indicators are used to mitigate the potentially dramatic effects of natural hazards. Local au- thorities and managers use them in elaborating rescue and urbanism plans, which do not always work, high- lighting society’s vulnerability in the particular context of global environmental and climate changes. Within this context, the Unit...

This paper examines oceanographic properties along the northern portion of the Palagruža Sill, middle Adriatic Sea, from 1998 to 2011. Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) and orthophosphate concentrations were collected at four stations on a seasonal basis and monthly basis, spanning from coastal waters to t...
