Coastal erosion is often attributed to significant meteorological driven events, climate change, human interference etc. However some erosion events form part of a cycle of behaviour for a particular coastal system that is not specifically associated with any of the above. From an assessment point of ...
Estuarine environments are characterized by very complex and varied morphodynamics and are one of the most critical coastal zones for the exchange of sediment and pollutants. The fertilization role of the continental shelf of the Gulf of Cadiz (SW Iberian Peninsula) in which the estuary of the Guadalquivir ...
This paper presents the results and conclusions obtained from a physical model study of the previous floating breakwater located in Aguete (Galicia, Spain). The aim of this study is to determine the mooring lines and module connector forces in real conditions in order to optimize the design of this ...
As part of an ongoing effort to create a publicly accessible GIS database that characterizes the global OTEC resource, more than two years of daily HYCOM (Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model) temperature data were processed. This global dataset was used to estimate annual and seasonal averages of the temperature ...
In the aim of promoting the responsible and sustainable management of the European fishing activity, the European Commission took a number of actions oriented to the implementation of “no-discard” and “zero-waste” policies to be followed by the European fishing fleets in the near future. In particular, ...
The Implementing Agreement on Ocean Energy Systems (OES-IA) is one of ten International Energy Agency (IEA) Implementing Agreements within the renewable energy domain. The OES-IA is an important platform for a wide range of international collaborative R&D activities in ocean energy. The OES-IA has the ...
The Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN) will provide rapid access to great depths at short distance from the shore, accelerating research and the generation of water column and deep-ocean knowledge. The mission of the multidisciplinary observatory is two-fold: the first is to contribute ...
Prior to major earthquakes many changes in the environment have been documented. Though often subtle and fleeting, these changes are noticeable at the land surface, in water, in the air, and in the ionosphere. Key to understanding these diverse pre-earthquake phenomena has been the discovery that, when ...
The objective is to identify the spatial and temporal variability of the hydrochemical quality of the water column in a subtropical coastal system, Daya Bay, China. Water samples were collected in four seasons at 12 monitoring sites. The Southeast Asian monsoons, northeasterly from October to the next ...
Soil productivity effects nutritive quality of food plants, growth of humans and animals, and reproductive health of domestic animals. Game-range surveys sometimes poorly explained variations in wildlife populations, but classification of survey data by major soil types improved effectiveness. Our study ...
This paper deals with the problem of software sensor (state estimation) to study the continuous age structured model of a harvested fish population, in order to get an estimation of the biomass of fishes by age class. In our case the fishing effort is considered as a control term, the age classes as ...
In marine harvesting, fish waste due to the discards of non-targeted species represent a risk for the sustainability of fisheries, a loss of potentially valuable living resources and a threat for the ecological equilibrium. The project FAROS aims to develop and implement an efficient, integral management ...
Marine researchers aiming to acquire composition and size-frequency information on fish assesmblages have successfully used Baited Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS) as a non-extractive alternative to more traditional sampling methods using nets or traps. In a monitoring study of gulper shark populations ...
In this paper, Radial Basis Function Neural Network is presented for fishery forecasting which uses Southwest Atlantic Illex argentines as its testing ground. The model begins with obtaining the network parameters to train the model using training data set and eventually achieving the forecasting results ...
Mobile Bay is a significant resource for human uses with important implications on commercial fisheries, coastal development, industry and tourism. Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) provides habitat in the littoral zone important to Gulf fisheries. Alabama coastal systems have been increasing in population ...
The adoption and execution of the necessary measures to face up the environmental exigencies that the ports and their structures require have been the key issues for the monitoring of Las Palmas port, protected by the main guides, directions and techniques recommended in the International treaties related ...
Information seeking is the process or activity of attempting to obtain information in both human and technological contexts. So far, there is no existing information seeking model that faithfully describes automated information seeking processes, especially automated root cause analysis and diagnosis ...
Control measures against Vessel-sourced pollution should focus on strengthening management of navigation in the Strait. Firstly, according to the UNCLOS, the Strait isn't a strait used for international navigation and should not apply to transit passage. Penghu waterway may be delimited inland waters, ...
Zooplankton spatial distributions and additional environmental features of Tianwan Offshore Area were studied in August 2009 at 14 stations. The abundance, distribution, and diversity of zooplankton were analyzed. copepods, larval stages, and hydromedusae dominated the zooplankton community. At total ...
A prototype compact archival tag that can sample depth, temperature as well as light intensity levels at preset intervals of time, featuring low power consumption and a streamlined shape, with a provision for easy attachment has been developed. The compact design of the tag certainly exhibit better ...
