Despite increasing attention globally, there has been only limited data collected on the extent of abandoned, lost and otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) globally. This pilot study was conducted using a fisherfolk survey to quantify the scale of the problem and identify contributory factors in Sri Lanka. Funded through the Ocean Country Partn...

Estuarine and coastal waters are acknowledged centres for anthropogenic impacts. Superimposed on the complex natural interactions between land, rivers and sea are the myriad consequences of human activity – a spectrum ranging from locally polluting effluents to some of the severest consequences of global climate change. For practitioners, academics...

Sacrificial anodes are attached to the hulls of boats and marine structures to prevent corrosion. Their use inevitably leads to release of zinc as well as impurities in the zinc alloy such as cadmium to the saline environment. Risk assessments and source apportionment exercises require accurate assessments of the potential loads of chemicals into t...

Complex hazards associated with climate change are increasing the vulnerability of urban coastal areas around the globe. This was particularly evident in the UK during the winter of 2013–14 when many coastal areas and infrastructure suffered from unprecedented storms, flooding and erosion. Given the value and importance of urban environments, there...

This protocol outlines the procedure and guidelines relating to the energy audit methodology discussed in D1.1.1. It outlines a comprehensive system of energy auditing and associated GHG emissions, detailing approaches to calculating the carbon footprint of the three key ‘scopes’. The key in utilizing the tool, is to enable it to direct data gather...

World Heritage status for selected sites in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction is under active consideration, and the Costa Rica Thermal Dome in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean is a feasible candidate site. A scientific expedition to the area in April 2017 added to biological baseline data but also confirmed presence of microplastics in the wate...

Sacrificial anodes are intrinsic to the protection of boats and marine structures by preventing the corrosion of metals higher up the galvanic scale through their preferential breakdown. The dissolution of anodes directly inputs component metals into local receiving waters, with variable rates of dissolution evident in coastal and estuarine environ...

his study investigates the physio-chemical parameters affecting the dissolution rate of zinc sacrificial anodes on pleasure craft and the impacts on the aquatic environment. The Hamble estuary is densely populated with around 3000 vessels. Anecdotal evidence suggests zinc anodes decay faster within this estuary compared to other UK estuaries. Estua...

Coastal tourism is an activity that cuts across many sectors, levels and interests; hence, its' sustainability demands a comprehensive strategic planning. However, in Pakistan this vital need is not yet recognized. Therefore, this study has attempted to formulate a strategic planning framework for coastal tourism development of the country through...

The number and diversity of events and festivals has grown tremendously over recent years reflecting a societal wish of individuals to partake in a wide range of socio-cultural and sporting activities; with marine and coastal events being no exception. This has lead to a growing recognition of associated environmental impacts, and as such explains...

This paper presents a systems-based appraisal methodology that has been designed specifically to consider the effectiveness of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) initiatives. Since ICZM is defined in terms of achieving sustainable development, any such initiative must therefore be capable of meeting the multiple and often conflicting objecti...

Fajã do Calhau is a supratidal talus-platform located on the South-East coast of São Miguel Island (Azores). Locally called "fajãs", these flat platforms with hummocky surfaces result from landslides and are relatively common coastal features in the archipelago, occurring on the toe of the cliffed coasts of most Azorean islands. Fajã do Calhau is a...

Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is a process defined in terms of achieving sustainable development. Despite sustainability being accepted by the majority of organizations currently operating on the coast, the integrated approach is seen as the more constructive and beneficial alternative to achieve this state. If 'success' for ICZM means...

Erasmus represents the higher education section of Socrates II; the European Commission programme supporting European cooperation in education and training. Through this programme, COZIP has been established and funded as an Intensive Programme (IP), the aim of which is to enhance knowledge transfer with regard the European dimensions of Integrated...

'Sustainability' figures routinely but prominently as a guiding principle for all those working in coastal management. In order to be able to progress coastal sustainability, it is necessary to understand more fully the normative structure of the concept by breaking down the key constructs inherent in the definition of sustainability. To this end a...
