Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Clear liquid optical chamber baited remote underwater video systems (CLOC‐BRUV) are an effective option for assessing fish assemblages in turbid water, but current designs are limited by their large size and high operational costs. We developed a lightweight CLOC‐BRUV unit and evaluated its performance through proof‐of‐concept trials and field

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Policy robustness, that is, the capacity of policies to sustain performance across diverse and uncertain futures, is increasingly considered a core objective of public policymaking. Although adaptive policymaking is widely promoted as an approach to achieving policy robustness, it suffers from a central paradox highlighted by theories of the ...

Coastal Wetland Restoration Bibliography.
, 1997 Abstract : This bibliography was compiled to provide biologists, engineers, and planners at Corps Districts and other agencies/ institutions with a guide to the diverse body of literature on coastal wetland restoration. The availability of this information should aid in the development of technically sound restoration plans and guide efforts to ...

DETERIORATION AND RESTORATION OF COASTAL WETLANDS
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1970 Coastal Louisiana wetlands are a product of Mississippi River delta building that has occurred over a period of 5,000 years The building process was a gradual one, for riverine and marine processes were very nearly balanced In modern times man's use of the area (flood control, navigation improvement, exploitation of petroleum and other minerals, road ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Despite their controversial nature, biodiversity offsets are often used as a regulatory tool to counterbalance the impacts of land clearing on biodiversity. Offsets usually aim to achieve no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity through protection and/or restoration of habitat.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Nacho Nyäk Tagé (Stewart River) watershed in central Yukon (Canada) is characterized by discontinuous permafrost that is locally highly sensitive to thaw. This study aims to map the spatial distribution of permafrost terrain disturbances (PTDs) in the watershed and model thaw susceptibility to support community‐led land‐use planning by the
