The Lutjanidae family includes multiple species highly important to the global fishing industry. In Brazil, approximately 40% of the fishing landings come from a species of this family, the dog snapper, Lutjanus jocu, among the most abundant in the n...

In the context of the prevailing environmental crisis, one innovative approach with the potential to promote inclusive conservation is payment for environmental services (PES). While numerous studies have documented the efficacy of PES in terrestrial...

This study presents numerical simulations of the Aysén tsunami, which occurred on 21 April 2007. The tsunami was triggered by hundreds of landslides caused by a magnitude 6.2 earthquake. With an estimated wave height of 50 m at the northern ti...

With the increasing global population and migration toward coastal regions, and the rising demand for coastal urbanization, including the development of living spaces, ports, and tourism infrastructure, the need for coastal defense structures (CDSs)...

Coastal habitats are crucial in mitigating the impact of coastal hazards on society. However, the shortage of information about the role of these habitats in reducing floods in Rivers State, Nigeria, is limited. This study aims to assess the contribu...

Tropical cyclones can severely disturb shallow, continental shelf ecosystems, affecting habitat structure, diversity, and ecosystem services. This study examines the impacts of Hurricane Ian on the Southwest Florida Shelf by assessing water quality,...

This study enhances coastal vulnerability assessment by introducing a Modified Fuzzy DEMATEL technique that incorporates socio-ecological and power dynamic considerations. The novelty of the study lies in integrating causal analysis with a participat...

The patterns of meiofaunal distribution in a submarine canyon and adjacent open-slope habitats at Campos Basin, southwest Atlantic, were investigated. A total of eight stations was sampled, four inside the Canyon Almirante Câmara and four on th...

Marine litter (ML), encompassing human-made objects in marine ecosystems, poses significant threats to the coasts of some Adriatic islands, despite their remoteness and sparse populations. These islands, reliant on tourism, are particularly vulnerabl...

This article presents a rock armour stability formula for coastal revetments under depth-limited breaking waves that defines requisite armour mass as a function of incident wave energy. Parameters include wave height, wave period, toe depth, revetmen...
