Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs are highly sensitive to shoreline instability and rapid land-use changes in industrializing regions. Nayband Gulf, located adjacent to the Pars Special Ec...

This research aims to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the extent international law and provide opportunities for coastal communities to engage in the development of ocean-related policies and regulations. Governanc...

Coastal environments are integral to metropolitan regions, operating as strategic civic and socio-economic interfaces that underpin tourism, everyday wellbeing, and local economies. Despite their significance, ensuring e...

Abstract Climate change poses significant threats to agricultural production and livelihoods in Bangladesh, particularly in its agrarian regions. This research specifically addresses the vulnerability of the coastal area...

ABSTRACT Background Menstrual health challenges among women in the coastal area of Bangladesh are increasingly impacted by water salinity, posing significant risks to both their physical and mental well‐being. Aims Thi...

A rising human impact alters landscape patterns and determines the agriculture–ecology–economy nexus (AEEN), which further threatens the sustainability of social–ecological system (SES). However, the mechanisms thr...

Here we report the occurrence of a rare winter migrant, Sooty Gull Ichthyaetus hemprichii, from the eastern coast of Tamil Nadu. This is the fourth record of the species along the eastern coast and the third for Tamil Na...

Coastal urban ecosystems are becoming increasingly vulnerable to climate-induced disturbance and damage due to the escalating frequency and intensity of typhoons. This study employed an integrated approach of remote sens...

This paper employs a bottom-up methodology to estimate tourism-related transportation carbon emissions in China's coastal regions from 2006 to 2023, analyzing their spatiotemporal evolution characteristics across multipl...

Coastal zone is transitional area between land and sea. Under the impacts of climate change, coastal zone is threatened by stressors such as sea-level rise, intensified storm surges. It is a common trend in global coasta...

The concept of Smart Coastal Economy (SCE) has emerged as a strategic approach to achieving sustainable coastal development through digital transformation and community empowerment. However, existing research largely exa...

Coastal areas are dynamic environments shaped by the interaction between natural processes and human activities. Rapid urbanization and land use transformations increasingly threaten the ecological integrity and spatial ...

Accurate monitoring of non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) in coastal saltmarsh wetlands is crucial for understanding ecosystem functioning and carbon dynamics. Existing hyperspectral NPV indices are used to monitor NPV ...

Abstract The article presents an interdisciplinary study examining the environmental and economic implications of introducing low-carbon fuels in coastal shipping. The main focus is on the comparison of alternative energ...

Accurate and consistent monitoring of tidal flats is fundamental for understanding coastal dynamics and supporting sustainable coastal management. However, existing methods still face major limitations, such as incomplet...

The increasing attention to land–sea interactions in spatial planning highlights persistent difficulties in integrating terrestrial and maritime governance, particularly in tourism-intensive coastal areas where environ...

Ophionephthys limicola Lütken, 1869 (Amphiuridae) is recorded for the first time from the mainland Caribbean coast of Colombia. Although its presence was already known from the island of San Andrés, C...

Land evaluation is an essential step in determining the potential use of marginal areas where agricultural productivity is limited by poor soil conditions. Coastal lands represent one of challenging environments, however...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Dysmenorrhea is a common gynaecological condition among female adolescents and affects students' well‐being in Ghana. This study assessed dysmenorrhea prevalence, effects, and coping mechan...

With increasing impacts of climate change, vulnerable low-lying developing countries like Bangladesh have coastal zones that experience disproportionate loss and damage (L&D) that exceed the limits of local adaptation. T...

Abstract Active tectonics and coastal deformation predispose continental margins to submarine gravitational instability and canyon head retreat. Here we investigate the drivers of this susceptibility along the Italian co...

Abstract Background Movement to spawn in offshore waters provides numerous benefits to inshore marine fish and crustacean species, but there is often limited empirical data on the behaviour and ecology of this key aspect...

Abstract This study investigates the evolving urban morphology and landscape fragmentation in Kuwait by integrating fractal analysis, spatial statistics, and landscape metrics. Utilizing historical land use and land cove...

The Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted in 2022 triggering a deadly tsunami and causing widespread disaster. Coastal communities in small Pacific Island countries were seriously affected including the Ohonua comm...
