IMPACT OF TIDAL STREAM ENERGY EXPLOITATION ON ESTUARINE HYDRODYNAMICS [PDF]
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2014 During the last years there has been an increasing interest towards the exploitation of marine energies and, in particular, of tidal stream energy. Although the impact of tidal stream farms is expected to be much lesser than that the conventional barrages, there are numerous environmental variables likely to be altered.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Partners or passengers? Revisiting the association between diatoms and aquatic animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerous studies have revealed the importance of research on the communities capable of colonizing animal surfaces (epibionts) and the animals on which they live (basibionts). Very few studies have considered epizoic diatoms, and there are gaps and biases in our knowledge, including the choice of basibionts, the methods used, and the habitats ...

A three-dimensional hydro-environmental model of Dublin Bay
, 2011 This paper compares a 3-dimensional hydro-ecological model with a 2-dimensional model simulating the distribution and fate of Escherichia Coli (E.Coli) discharges from a sewage treatment plant discharging into Dublin Bay, Ireland. Before being discharged,

Estuarine Hydrodynamics Under Sea Level Rise
, 2022 Estuaries provide a wide range of environmental, cultural, social, and economic services. However, sea level rise (SLR) is increasingly threatening these services in estuaries due to their low-lying topography and proximity to the open ocean. As such, the sustainable management of estuaries requires an evidence-based understanding of how different ...

Ecography, EarlyView.Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Lipid quality is one of the most important indicators of the nutritional value of farmed mussels. In open‐coastal environments, factors such as cultivation depth and seasonal changes affect lipid dynamics, but their combined effects on lipid quality remain unclear.
