That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Sea‐Level Rise Adaptation and Collaboration in Polycentric Governance: A Comparison of Three Regions

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adaptation to sea‐level rise confronts coastal communities worldwide with a new set of collective action problems that require collaboration. When does collaboration result in concrete action for adaptation? To address this question, we combine the Ecology of Games and Collaborative Governance frameworks using a comparative analysis of three ...

Opportunities for targeted, small‐scale law reform in marine and coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Across the globe, law reform is being considered as a mechanism to support, guide, and encourage the upscaling of ecological restoration. While high‐profile examples like the European Nature Restoration Law show the value of large‐scale law reform, this scale of law reform will not be feasible or politically tractable everywhere.

Valobran Kaše: tijek i način izgradnje, primijenjene antičke tehnike gradnje u renesansi

Anali Zavoda za Povijesne Znanosti Hrvatske Akademije Znanosti i Umjetnosti u Dubrovniku, 2017
Kaše breakwater, doubtless, is a remarkable monument of Renaissance civil engineering, masterly designed and executed by Paskoje Miličević. This boldly conceived project witnessed many problems from the very beginning of its construction. Serious damages

Tidal reinstatement of coastal wetlands: a global review

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration is a global priority due to its critical role in enhancing climate resilience and biodiversity. Tidal reinstatement, through the removal or modification of tidal barriers, is a promising method to restore these ecosystems.

Experimental and Numerical Study on the Hydrodynamic Efficiency of Permeable Caissons Barriers

Journal of Eta Maritime Science
Breakwaters are constructed to protect beaches and ports from high storms and waves. By bringing calm to the port, breakwaters also increase ship safety and operation. This paper presents a study of the breakwater partially submerged in water, consisting

Application of a Spectral Wave Model to Assess Breakwater Configurations at a Small Craft Harbour on Lake Ontario

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016
A surface wave model using three nested grids is applied to the eastern end of Lake Ontario to investigate wave propagation from an open lake environment to a small craft harbour protected by a breakwater.

Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.

Reef Type Breakwaters

Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984
Reef type breakwaters refers to a low-crested rubble mound breakwater without the traditional multilayer cross section. This type of breakwater is little more than a homogenous pile of stones with individual stone weights sufficient to resist wave attack.
