Systems of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships: Across time, place, language and culture
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract In the face of large‐scale marine environmental challenges, solutions that meaningfully capture the complexity of socio‐cultural and economic factors contributing to such issues—and their solutions—are urgently needed. This scoping review explores examples of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships to inform the conceptual underpinning and ...

Floating Breakwater Performance
Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976 The Pacific Northwestern United States contains large areas of protected waters with abundant recreational boating opportunities. The area also supports many commercial fishermen who use small boats in their fishing operations . As a result, there is a large demand for sheltered moorage for all these vessels.

3-d Physical Modelling On Floating - Type Breakwater [PDF]
, 2018 BP Tangguh has port facilities in Bintuni Bay, West Papua, with a water depth of about 6 to 9 m. To secure the port activities and facilities, a floating-type breakwater was proposed.

REPRODUCING OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES: The Rock Mining for Indonesia's New Capital City
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Indonesia's new capital city is designed to become a green and sustainable city. In this article, we examine the (un)sustainability of the process through which the city is coming into being. Using the sociospatial theory of planetary urbanization, we trace the dialectical relationship between the new city and sites beyond it to show how ...

Numerical Modeling of the Effect of Porosity on Mooring Tensions in a Porous Double-slope Floating Breakwater [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesA floating breakwater is a structure used to solve existing problems due to activities around the coast. Floating breakwaters are becoming a more attractive alternative because of their mobility, costeffectiveness in deep coastal waters, and reduced ...

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

FLOATING TYRE BREAKWATERS - A CASE HISTORY
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1982 The problem of achieving a system of coastal protection which is cheap, effective and reliable has stimulated the minds of researchers and innovators for many years. Although floating breakwaters have been written about since the 1840s, interest in them has increased rapidly in recent years.

Optimal control of the heave motion of marine cable subsea-unit systems [PDF]
, 1995 One of the key problems associated with subsea operations involving tethered subsea units is the motions of support vessels on the ocean surface which can be transmitted to the subsea unit through the cable and increase the tension.

Curating the Unexpected: Stéphane Thidet's “Weeping Stones” Transformed During COVID‐19
Curator: The Museum Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A monumental work by French artist Stéphane Thidet became the nexus for an unexpected interaction between an art installation and wildlife. “Weeping Stones,” which presents a desert‐like world, devoid of greenery, was featured in an exhibition we co‐curated at the Genia Schreiber University Gallery, Tel Aviv, Israel, in January 2020.
