Resource partitioning among algal turf‐feeding fishes on a tropical artificial shoreline

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapid coastal development has led to the proliferation of artificial structures along urban shorelines. Numerous studies have shown that patterns of fish diversity associated with these novel habitats are driven by physical habitat complexity; however, trophic‐mediated processes in shaping these patterns remain poorly understood.

The hard and soft of it: The role of substrate in patterns of phase dominance and phenology in Gracilaria vermiculophylla

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the importance of the seasonal timing of events in the life cycle for understanding population dynamics, we lack information on the phenology of most macroalgal species. The red macroalga Gracilaria vermiculophylla has become common in both hard‐ and soft‐bottom habitats following its invasion throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

Parametric Comparison of Rectangular and Circular Pontoons Performance as Floating Breakwater Numerically

Polish Maritime Research, 2018
Rectangular and circular pontoons are one of the most widely cross-sections used as floating breakwaters (FB). Although, there are several articles on comparison of behavior of rectangular and circular floating breakwaters however, the Authors try to ...

FLOATING BREAKWATER RESPONSE TO WAVE ACTION

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1988
The present paper describes a study carried out to investigate floating breakwater behavior in waves. Components of the study include a field survey of floating breakwaters in British Columbia, Canada, the development of a numerical model of breakwater behavior and the experimental testing of a particular breakwater design. The numerical model has been

Contrasting patterns of population structure in two habitat‐forming kelp species in southeastern Australia

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The distribution and connectivity of species around the globe are changing at a rapid pace. Increasing sea temperatures are a driving factor of changes in temperate macroalgal distributions. Southeast Australia is considered a global ocean‐warming hotspot, where macroalgal populations are predicted to decline significantly by 2100.

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

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Inverse T-Type Floating Breakwaters

International Journal of Maritime Technology, 2019
Various types of floating breakwaters in different configuration and shapes are used to reduce wave height in coastal areas. The most important parameter in designing breakwaters are their shapes which determines hydrodynamic reaction to incident waves ...

Wave dissipation effect of a new combined breakwater and its protective performance for coastal box girder bridges

Advances in Bridge Engineering
Breakwaters play an important role in in mitigating wave-induced damage to marine structures. However, conventional submerged breakwaters often exhibit limited wave dissipation capabilities, while floating breakwaters may lack adequate safety performance.

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 ...
