Implementing integrated coastal zone management through the use of coastal action plans: lessons from Victoria

, 2004
There are currently no performance indicators in place for assessing the successful implementation of Victoria,\u27s strategic plans (Coastal Action Plans, CAPs) in achieving Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) at a regional level.

Realising Aboriginal Community Controlled Approaches to Child Reunification

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reunification rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in out‐of‐home care (OOHC) in Australia are critically low, even though reunification is the preferred permanency outcome for children following removal, and despite a range of mechanisms and strategies ostensibly to support effective reunification. To better understand the

An Inverse Method to Obtain Porosity, Fibre Diameter and Density of Fibrous Sound Absorbing Materials

Archives of Acoustics, 2013
Characterization of sound absorbing materials is essential to predict its acoustic behaviour. The most commonly used models to do so consider the flow resistiv- ity, porosity, and average fibre diameter as parameters to determine the acoustic ...

A Bayesian Approach to Carrying Capacity Estimate: The Case of Greek Coastal Cage Aquaculture

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The estimation of the carrying capacity (CC) is a fundamental process in integrated environmental management, policy making, and decision making. Aquaculture carrying capacity has been studied since the 1960s to allow estimation of the production limits ...

A GIS-based method for revealing the transversal continuum of natural landscapes in the coastal zone

MethodsX, 2018
The method presented in this article is helpful for analyzing the landscape properties and unfolding the transversal continuity of natural landscapes in the coastal zone. The novel conceptual approach to analyze the landscape structure in the transversal

Coastal zone management

Land Use Policy, 1991
Bangladesh, St Lucia, the Philippines and dozens of other countries are affected by serious storms and flooding. The damage from these and other hazards could be reduced through effective programmes that control the type, density and location of coastal settlements.

Evaluation of Two Alternative Procedures for Measuring Airflow Resistance of Sound Absorbing Materials

Archives of Acoustics, 2013
It is well known that sound absorption and sound transmission properties of open porous materials are highly dependent on their airflow resistance values.

Stakeholder involvement for management of the coastal zone

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 2016
Abstract The European Union (EU) has taken the lead to promote the management of coastal systems. Management strategies are implemented by the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), as well as the recent Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) Directive.
