Tourism as a Catalyst for Blue Carbon Restoration and Conservation: Pathways, Gaps, and Opportunities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tourism is a major driver of coastal economies worldwide, yet it is also a growing source of pressure on blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Nowadays, tourism‐led conservation/restoration is increasingly promoted under the banner of regenerative tourism, but how these projects are motivated ...

Regional Sustainable Economic Development in the Caribbean? A Discursive Inquiry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Caribbean region is governed by several regional bodies. Among the more important organizations for small island states, where coral reefs and ocean conservation are paramount, is the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Currently, the region is going through critical environmental changes that bring important vulnerabilities.

The natural recolonisation process of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile after the introduction of the Italo-algerian methane pipeline in the SW Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

, 2004
This work investigates the recolonisation process and patterns of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica after a man-induced impact. The installation of a methane pipeline connecting Italy and Tunisia destroyed a large seagrass bed in the South Mediterranean ...

Sustainable Consumption or Ecological Outsourcing? Quantile Evidence on Marine Environmental Quality in BRICS Economies

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine environmental sustainability is increasingly challenged by rising ecological pressure, trade integration, and environmentally intensive growth dynamics, particularly in emerging economies. This study investigates the nonlinear determinants of marine environmental quality by examining the effects of ecological footprint, greenhouse gas ...

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Recovery of donor meadows of posidonia sinuosa and posidonia australis contributes to sustainable seagrass transplantation [PDF]

, 2012
Donor meadow recovery is important in deciding whether removal of material from natural seagrass meadows is a sustainable activity. Thus an investigation into meadow regrowth was undertaken as part of a large-scale seagrass rehabilitation effort in ...
