EO5 INTEGRATED MONITORING OF THEADRIATIC SEA AND COAST AND RELATED ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Albanian Journal of Natural and Technical Sciences, 2021
Eutrophication of Adriatic Sea is a process driven by enrichment of water by nutrients, especially nitrogen and/or phosphorus compounds, leading to: increased growth, primary production and biomass of algae; changes in the balance of nutrients causing ...

Oil Spill and Socioeconomic Vulnerability in Marine Protected Areas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The extensive oil spill (> 2,900 km) that occurred in the southwestern Atlantic (2019/2020) increased the vulnerability of the Brazilian coast, affecting marine and coastal protected areas (MPAs).

Assessing trade-offs in large marine protected areas. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Large marine protected areas (LMPAs) are increasingly being established and have a high profile in marine conservation. LMPAs are expected to achieve multiple objectives, and because of their size are postulated to avoid trade-offs that are common in ...

Evidence of economic benefits from marine protected areas

Scientia Marina
Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been used for biodiversity conservation for decades. However, critics argue that evidence of their economic benefits is weak, particularly with regard to fisheries.

Opportunities for cost-sharing in conservation: variation in volunteering effort across protected areas [PDF]

, 2013
Efforts to expand protected area networks are limited by the costs of managing protected sites. Volunteers who donate labor to help manage protected areas can help defray these costs.

Underprotected Marine Protected Areas in a Global Biodiversity Hotspot

, 2020
Summary Ocean health is critical for human well-being but is threatened by multiple stressors. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity agreed to protect 10% of their waters by 2020. The scientific evidence supporting the use of marine protected

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Stakeholder perspectives on large-scale marine protected areas.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Large-scale marine protected areas (LSMPAs), MPAs greater than 100,000km2, have proliferated in the past decade. However, the value of LSMPAs as conservation tools is debated, in both global scientific and policy venues as well as in particular sites. To
