Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

SEA SAND MINING ZONATION THROUGH THE INTEGRATION OF OCEAN DYNAMIC AND GIS IN RIAU ISLAND WATERS
International Journal of Remote Sensing and Earth Sciences (IJReSES), 2010 Sea-sand mining has both advantages particularly in its destructive capabilities. The damages caused by sea-sand mining are mostly due to the unorganized mining zones. In order to minimize the negative effects of mining activities, the well-organized mining zones that have evaluated all related aspects are required.
