Spatial and Time Balancing Act: Coastal Geomorphology in View of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) [PDF]
, 2012 Muchos procesos costeros dependen de la geomorfología de la zona costera. Aunque algunas áreas son naturalmente propensas a un alto riesgo, las acciones antropogénicas alteran aún más su geomorfología, aumentando rápidamente el riesgo de desastres en las áreas costeras al perturbar el equilibrio espacial y temporal de los procesos naturales.

Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Coastal Defenses Against Flooding
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Coastal flooding is growing substantially as storms increase and sea levels rise rapidly due to climate change. It is therefore important to find safe and sustainable ways to protect coastal communities against this growing risk. However, the effectiveness of traditional coastal defenses (hard seawalls) (HS) is being questioned due to concerns

Blue Spots: A Novel Framework to Leverage Non‐Extractive Economies for Ocean Conservation
Conservation Letters, Volume 18, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT The concept of biodiversity hotspots has long guided spatial conservation planning. Although many marine‐protected areas (MPAs) overlap with ecological hotspots, they often face resistance when they overlook existing livelihoods. Non‐extractive economies in many coastal regions, such as dive tourism, already thrive but lack formal protection ...

The blue economy: Identifying geographic concepts and sensitivities
Geography Compass, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2019., 2019 Abstract There is currently no generally accepted definition for the “blue economy,” despite the term becoming common parlance over the past decade. The concept and practice have spawned a rich, and diverse, body of scholarly activity. Yet despite this emerging body of literature, there is ambiguity around what the blue economy is, what it encapsulates,
