SECONDARY PRODUCTION OF SCOLELEPIS GOODBODYI (POLYCHAETA: SPIONIDAE) IN A TROPICAL SANDY BEACH IN THE SOUTHWESTERN ATLANTIC, BRAZIL [PDF]
The secondary production is the result of the functional response of populations subject to various environmental factors. Marine habitats vary in terms of quantity and quality of food supply, and the use of secondary production values, as well as ...

Assessing the impact of beach nourishment on the intertidal food web through the development of a mechanistic-envelope model [PDF]
1. Beach nourishment, the placement of sand onto a sediment-starved stretch of coast, is widely applied as a soft coastal protection measure because of its reduced ecological impact relative to hard coastal protection.

The effects of a red tide, Karenia brevis episode on the benthic macroinvertebrate communities of South Padre Island, Texas [PDF]
South Padre Island, Texas has experienced increasing frequency of harmful algal blooms (Karenia brevis) since the 1900’s, many of which resulted in massive fishes kills. In addition, shorebirds and other terrestrial wildlife deaths have been linked to K.

Assessment of the ecological characteristics of the Belgian beaches prior to the implementation of the Belgian Master Plan for Coastal Safety [PDF]
Sandy shores or beaches line 70 % of the world’s oceans, including the entire Belgian coastline (67 km). They have a multitude of ecosystem functions, constitute an important habitat for a variety of fauna and flora and hold important economic, social ...

Biotic interactions within sandy beach ecosystems, with implications for an ecologically-sound beach nourishment [PDF]
Sandy beaches are the largest coastal ecosystem on earth, covering 70% of all continental margins. As more people interact directly with beaches than with any other type of shoreline worldwide, beaches are of huge social and cultural importance.
