▼ The fate of nitrate (NO3-) in marine sediments depends
on a balance of microbially mediated processes that remove or
recycle available nitrogen (N), i.e. denitrification and anammox
(anaerobic ammonium oxidation) versus DNRA (dissimilatory NO3-
reduction to ammonium). If these processes respond differently to
ecosystem shifts such as climate warming and changes in substrate
availability, environmental change could alter the balance of N
availability. Relationships between these processes and
environmental factors were assessed for New England estuarine and
continental shelf sediments at multiple temporal and spatial
scales. Potential rates of denitrification and anammox were
measured for five sites over two years. Denitrification varied
among sites and seasons, and variation was related to organic
matter and temperature. In contrast, anammox varied among sites but
not seasons, and variation was related to organic matter and pore
water NO3-. To explore direct effects of warming, temperature
dependence was reviewed for biogeochemical processes, with a focus
on N cycling. In a separate study, temperature dependence was
measured for denitrification and anammox at an estuarine and a
continental shelf site, and thermal optima and activation energies
were found to be comparable between processes, and consistent
between sites and among seasons. To further examine effects of
warming and carbon, a 12-week microcosm experiment with continental
shelf sediments was conducted at ambient winter (4°C) and warmer
summer (17°C) temperatures, with and without regular carbon
additions comparable to in situ C deposition rates. Both treatments
increased sediment remineralization as inferred by diffusive O2
fluxes, and decreased NO3- influx. Potential rate measurements
showed that warming increased both denitrification and DNRA,
whereas carbon addition further increased DNRA, which likely
competed with denitrification and caused the shift from NO3- influx
to efflux. Thus DNRA may be an important, previously overlooked
process in shelf sediments, and environmental change could shift
the role of sediments from N removal to N recycling through an
unexpected link of DNRA and nitrification.

▼ Hazards threaten
coastal communities and ecosystems over a wide range of spatiotemporal scales. One of the most pressing concerns for
coastal property owners, decision makers, and researchers is the uncertain role that a changing climate will have on the intensity and frequency of these hazards. The significant uncertainties associated with both projected rates of global sea level rise (SLR) and the potential for continued trends of increasing wave heights and changes to storm tracks has made the task of incorporating the impacts of climate change into
coastal vulnerability assessments challenging.
Within this context of this uncertainty, we present a methodology to directly incorporate the impacts of climate change and variability into
coastal vulnerability assessments via an integrated multi-scale, multi-hazard approach. Our quasi-probabilistic technique integrates two
coastal hazards (dune overtopping and
coastal erosion) over a time scales ranging from individual storm events to multidecadal trends influenced by a variety of climate change scenarios. Since both SLR and changes in storminess have the potential to exacerbate the extent of vulnerable stretches along a coast, these two climate controlled factors are integrated into projections of local total water levels (wave runup plus tides) to assess the relative strengths of their influence on flood and erosion hazards. Despite underlying uncertainties associated with future climate conditions,
coastal decision makers need to begin planning for a changing climate now. Therefore, we use a suite of recently published semi-empirical global SLR predictions to develop scenarios of future conditions. The potential for continued changes in storminess is accounted for by developing a range of wave climate scenarios based on decadal observations from regional wave buoys. While this approach has been developed for dune backed coastlines in general, discussed here is application of the technique to a 14 kilometer stretch of the dynamic Northern Oregon coast along which significant
coastal erosion and flood hazards are currently perceived. By using simple models to predict the possibility of
coastal dune overtopping and the extent of
coastal erosion from storm events we can quantitatively assess the relative influence of climate change trends based on projections at various future planning horizons.
Incorporation of these future hazard probabilities into the development of
coastal hazard maps can provide science-based support to allow prioritization of resource allocation to best prepare
coastal communities, fragile ecosystems, and jeopardized infrastructure which are likely to experience accelerated vulnerability due to a changing climate.

▼ Coastal environments are complex systems being sought-after for a myriad of environmental, socioeconomic
and cultural activities, supporting an estimated 44% of the world’s population. The demand
for
coastal space and resources has created extreme pressure in
coastal areas, leading to reduced
coastal functionality and amplified risk of natural hazards. These stresses and changes require
proactive management, in particular through policies and legislation that ensure protection and longterm
sustainability, thus the emergence of Integrated
Coastal Management (ICM) as a ‘holistic’
approach. South Africa, being a country of high marine and
coastal biodiversity, recognised the need
for better
coastal management in the 1970s; however, it was only in 2009 that an Integrated
Coastal
Management Act (ICM Act) was promulgated. The Act attempts to tackle the interlinked problems
of
coastal development and conservation; however to date implementation has been frustratingly
slow, with capacity constraints and knowledge gaps being the primary limitations. If ICM is to be
effective,
coastal managers require a broad range of scientific and social information, modelled data
and environmental indicators, meaning that the scope and complexity of
coastal management is
strongly dependent upon capacity. However, in South Africa, these functions do not rest with such
experts, but are assigned to various government departments at the local municipality level. Thus
ICM initiatives, that integrate natural and social sciences and empower managers with best available
knowledge, are required.
This research focused on the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Province, one of four
coastal provinces in South
Africa grappling with ICM implementation. Consequently, the KZN provincial government
committed financial resources to improving knowledge transfer, information sharing and capacity
building. KZN-specific barriers to ICM implementation were identified through a series of interviews
and surveys, from which requirements for an information support tool were determined. The tool,
devised from a
coastal management perspective, enables continued knowledge acquisition and
retention, thereby acting as an ‘institutional knowledge bank’. Development followed a participatory
approach that ensured the needs of target users were met, however while such tools can improve
understanding and lead to improved decision-making, their effectiveness depends on continued use
by managers. Additionally, this research shows the value-add of such a tool in conjunction with
traditional capacity building sessions and how these complementary approaches assisted ICM
implementation. Lessons learned from KZN can be up-scaled to inform Government on the value of
the information support tool by incorporating national data and information sharing for ICM capacity
building.

▼ M.S. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2013.
Cultural ecosystem services (CES) substantially contribute to human wellbeing as nonmaterial benefits of ecosystems. However, they remain poorly understood due to their often nonmarket and intangible nature. Through electronic surveys with coastal resource managers in Hawaii, the management characteristics of coastal and watershed-based CES in contrast to provisional and regulatory services were analyzed. The results indicate that although CES are a high management priority, only 10.0% of respondents could articulate specific policies currently in place. Additionally, most CES were managed for security, and were largely managed by local, county or state non-governmental organizations. Telephone surveys further revealed that half of all CES managed were considered to benefit humans beyond the spatial scale in which management decisions were made. Understanding the management characteristics of CES is expected to provide a framework for the development of CES that can be used to monitor, assess, and develop effective natural resource policies.

▼ This thesis develops the concept of destination management with a particular focus on the management of a local destination. It concentrates on seeking to understand what constitutes the general concept of destination management, exploring management practices, and clarifying the overall management of the local destination. In the absence of previous literature, a conceptual framework is developed from the bodies of literature in tourism, management, inter-organizational relationships, and integrated
coastal management. This framework illustrates aspects,
issues, and dimensions that are relevant to destination management and provides a structure for the analysis of destination management in Pattaya, Thailand. Given the exploratory nature of the study, a multi-phase case study is used. A mix of holistic and embedded cases is used to obtain broad and in-depth data relevant to the concept and practice of destination management. Pattaya, as one of the major
coastal resorts in Thailand, is selected as the case study as tourism has been developed there for several decades and its diverse problems provide a range of management
challenges. Its major tourism attractions - beaches, nightlife, Pattaya Music Festival - are examined as embedded cases. In addition to secondary data, semi-structured interviews and observation are used to collect primary data. The broad concept of
destination management is developed first and then used as a basis to examine the nature and extent of destination management in Pattaya. The conceptual framework provides a structure to analyze the individual embedded cases and to compare commonalities and differences between their management processes and structures
and their implications for the practice of destination management. The research reveals that there is a relationship between the practitioners'
perspectives on a tourism destination and on destination management, and that there is a relationship between their initial perspectives on destination management and their management practices that occur at the destination. Destination management is defined as "the collaboration of relevant agencies responsible for providing multiple
tourism products at the destination in a way to achieve common goals or destination goals." The research also highlights that destination management requires the integration of management agencies, of management purposes, and of management activities at the destination scale. In Pattaya, varying levels of integration occur and relevant agencies are commonly involved with managing aspects of tourism rather than the destination as a whole. The embedded cases reveal that two main forms of management occur in Pattaya: daily operations and project management. Daily management is practised by single agencies to achieve individual organizational goals and is evident in most aspects of beach management and the management of dispersed nightlife activities. Project-based management involves the pursuit of
project goals and is carried out by committees, for example, Walking Street…

▼ The impacts caused by chronic nutrient enrichment on coastal habitats usually
comprise a slow stepwise progression of chemical and biological changes which
can be highly influenced by the physical environment. As a consequence, the
process of change is dependent upon the unique environmental circumstances
in each system and detection of impacts, particularly in the early stages, can be
difficult. In addition, the influence of multiple anthropogenic nutrient sources
interacting at a community or species level further complicates impact
assessments. However, understanding the mechanism by which increasing
changes in nutrient availability might affect the complex nature of the coastal reef
ecology is essential for early detection, subsequent prevention and control of
impacts.
The capacity to predict how natural variability interacts with anthropogenic
stressors is a challenge for both marine scientists and environmental managers.
Natural selective forces in costal habitats (e.g., light levels, wave exposure,
salinity, temperature and species interactions) will influence the degree to which
reef systems respond to sources of nutrients. However, these forces can also
promote the system’s ability to cope with impacts (resistance) or to recover from
a given disturbance (resilience), and will vary spatially and temporally throughout
geographical gradients within the same system. Understanding the system
characteristics and key biological responses may help to determine where
potential impacts may or may not take place.
This study outlines a field experiment, which measurably increased the nutrient
availability in three reef systems to determine changes in macroalgal community
composition, successional stages and classical indicators (i.e., fast-growing
opportunistic species). In addition, this study examined how alternative
indicators, including underlying indicators of impact such as physiological
sensitivity of key macroalgal species), can provide better indication of the status
of impact/ stress. Furthermore, location-specific variations of abiotic factors
were monitored to test if physical drivers, the structuring forces of gradients in
community structure, may improve our understanding of eutrophication.
The results indicate that there was no evidence of major effects of nutrient
enrichment on the overall community structure and that the observed responses
of opportunistic species were not consistent. The abundance of opportunistic
species differed between locations and showed significant effects of small-scale
variability within each community. Physical drivers (variations in wave exposure
and light, as well as differences in salinity and temperature) were correlated with
fundamental differences in the established and the successional community
structure throughout the study region. This suggests that fundamental and
prevailing components of the community (e.g., Caulerpales/Fucales and/or
Encrusting algae/Fucales-dominated reefs) and abiotic fluctuations may
underpin…

▼ The
coastal focus and beach culture of Australia’s population in general, and the people of New South Wales in particular, mean that
coastal systems are both highly prized and subjected to great pressures. The vast majority of the wastewater generated by the 7.3 million people of New South Wales is discharged directly to the ocean. The dispersion and fate of waterborne pollutants and their potential to impact
coastal ecosystems are fundamentally determined by the dynamics of the
coastal boundary layer (CBL). This turbulent interface between the coastline and the deep oceans is defined and classified for the first time in this thesis.
Coastal morphologies and changes in the orientation of the coastline promote turbulence and strong gradients with extreme variability and heterogeneity over a broad range of scales. Conceptual models are presented to characterise New South Wales
coastal boundary layer processes.
The broad aims of this thesis are to investigate the
coastal boundary layer processes that affect dispersal and advection of pollutants, and to develop conceptual models and tools to facilitate
coastal management.
Remote sensed ocean colour and sea surface temperature observations define meso-scale CBL phenomena, and this study demonstrates their application to support management decisions in relation to marine algal (phytoplankton) blooms. However, considerable scope exists to improve regional algorithms to deliver better ocean colour products for the optically complex (Case 2) waters of the inner
coastal boundary layer.
Past failures to consider the CBL (morphological) settings of pollutant discharges to
coastal waters have led to inefficient pollutant discharge systems and potential environmental impacts. Two case studies, investigate the principal forcing mechanisms and demonstrate the importance of morphology in controlling the dispersion and retention times of pollutants.
The first case study is focused on Sydney
coastal waters where pollutant loadings are greater in magnitude and different in character than elsewhere in New South Wales. Here population pressures generate large wastewater loadings but the distances to offshore discharge locations are large compared to the scale of
coastal roughness (headlands and bays) and the water is deep, thus reducing the risk of local retention of pollutants and increasing the potential for rapid dilution. By considering simulations of near field effluent plume behaviour in relation to long term ambient nutrient patterns specific periods of the year and depth intervals have been identified when outfalls would have an increased opportunity to influence bloom development, especially the upper half of the water column during late summer. However, algal blooms appear to be principally driven by seasonal oceanic nutrient enrichment. The research presented in this thesis, together with companion research previously published by the author and routine ongoing monitoring, indicate the viability of disposal of the Sydney’s excess sewage effluent (after source…

▼ Due to the major flooding disasters particularly in the Southwest region, the Delta works were needed in order to protect the people and the land. During the Delta works a lot of water infrastructures were built in the area as technical solutions, such as the Haringvlietdam. The Delta Works brought safety and made the area more accessible. However, nowadays we realized some negative effects as well, since ecosystems were damaged and lost. Additionally, the climate is changing and in the future the sea level will rise. Due to storms and heavy rainfall rivers will have higher peak discharges. These changes will have considerable consequences for the Southwest Region and therefore innovative long term solutions need to be designed so that the area stays protected. In this specific framework, it could be argued that the protection of coastal landscapes from flooding disasters is traditionally approached by engineering perspective that often resulted in negative impacts on local ecology and ecosystems. As well as massive mono-functional infrastructures that act only as intermediate space without culture and program value. Taking this in to account, it could be indicated that there is a strong need to incorporate landscape architecture and ecological services in coastal protection. For this reason, the design assignment of this graduation project is the partial opening and slow transformation of the Haringvlietdam to an operative landscape infrastructure along with the creation of a group of islands for protection. It is important to slowly transform this area in such a way that people will be part of the development and can profit from it. The design should be considered as an open ended slow process towards an adaptive coastal self-sufficient region. This slow process, would give people the time to realize what would change and understand the future possibilities of this area and could develop a self-sufficient region which is producing energy from alternative resources (water, wind, sun), producing aqua agriculture that is consumed domestically or is exported to other countries, attracting tourism to the extended coastline (islands) and providing a unique experience both for the residence of the region and for the visitors.

▼ The present investigation has been carried out to
study some clinical aspects and protein profile of malaria infected
individuals in some coastal pockets of Tamil Nadu, India. The
survey of malarial cases in the coastal areas of Thanjavur,
Nagapattinam and Cudallore districts indicated 42 male and 30
female positive cases out of 120 samples collected from September
2007 to November 2009. The maximum number (29) malarial cases were
observed in Cudallore than Thanjavur (24) and Nagapattinam (19)
districts. The samples contain only two species of parasites namely
Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax in different stages in the
smears of malarial positive cases. Among 72 malarial cases, 46 P.
falciparum and 26 P. vivax were identified. The erythrocyte
sedimentation rate was significantly decreased in malarial infected
individual as compared with normal. The total leucocyte count was
significantly higher in malaria infected individuals than normal.
Similarly protein, aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino
transferase and alkaline phosphatase were found to be higher in the
malarial infected individuals than normal. Several protein bands
were observed on 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th, 14th and 21st day samples, but
the 14th day sample was especially under taken in present study,
because they formed more numbers of unique bands. Therefore, the
slab gel was used for further target studies of protein profile.
The 51 kDa protein was eluted from the gel for sequencing and
structural analysis by various computational approaches using
SOPMA, Ramachandran Plot, BLAST and Rasmol Model. The 51 kDa
protein was detected as membrane receptor associated protein of the
parasite. Thus, the present study provides the baseline information
to the future researchers involved in the development of vaccines
and paves the way for the control of malarial parasites using
vaccine.

▼ Two primary social roles, those of work and family
role are taken away from individuals who have reached an advanced
age. Many elderly people and their older children may still be in
close contact. In the absence of physical proximity to their
children, problem of loneliness arises if not social isolation. The
elderly may not be isolated, but they may not have the warm,
friendly contacts so desperately needed at this stage in life.
newlinePerhaps one of the most serious emotional problems
concerning the aging is the loss of a feeling of security. Many are
in a precarious economic position, but they also have other fears.
Not the least of these is where they will be living and who will be
caring for them. Study after study has shown that the elderly want
to remain where they are rather than to move to another location.
The reason behind this often-stated preference is the fact that
they know about their present arrangements, and they tend to feel
secure in them, even when they are somewhat uncomfortable.
newlineIn the agricultural sector and the rural and urban informal
sectors, there is no set age at which people retire and stop
working. Both men and women continue to work as long as they are
physically able, although the type of work they do may change and
they may work with diminished capacity (Dandekar, 1996), which is
true of both men and women. newlineThere are both positive and
negative connotations of getting old. On the positive side,
especially in the traditional Indian context, old age is associated
with Wisdom, Respect, and the potential for spiritual growth. It
relieves them from family responsibilities and gives them freedom
of action. On the negative side, it is associated with physical and
mental decline, stereotyped as self pitying, unhappy, complaining
and unproductive. They often suffer from depression caused by
loneliness and alienation.

▼ There is an inherent relationship between New Zealanders and the coast and has become part of our culture and identity. The
coastal threshold is a place of emersion in time, surface and weathering process of materials and the marks and traces of time, this thesis explores architectural expression on Wellingtons coastline.
This project proposes the design of a series of six interventions along Wellington’s south coast. This research explores how architecture can respond to the temporality and extreme contextual conditions of the diverse landscapes. By developing an inherent architectural language of shelter that identifies and embodies the contextual and programmatic narrative, this thesis proposes for the occupation of site through a protective and experiential architecture.

▼ Deeply rooted with cultural and historic ties, the coastline is inherently linked to the New Zealand way of life. The coast belongs to ‘the people’ and has been legislated so that land adjacent to the sea falls within public ownership. Most New Zealanders take for granted their ability to access the coast and firmly believe
coastal access should be unrestricted. As a result, there is signifcant public opposition to a built-up waterfront.
The quality of the
coastal environment relies on more than natural qualities. In an urban and suburban setting, the built environment determines which activities and functions can occur and the levels of social engagement that can be experienced. Consequently, the root concern for the future of the waterfront may be a fear of ill-designed developments, escalated by fears of spoiling the water’s edge.
The New Zealand
Coastal Policy Statement (NZCPS) recognises there is a need for social, economic and cultural development in the
coastal marine area. Acting as stimulus for activity, architecture enhances the way the waterfront is utilised. It fosters economic venture and defnes the character of the region. The waterfront faces growing pressure from real estate exploitation.
Having to suitably balance the social, economic and cultural needs that come with the location. Impactful decisions concerning the preservation or destruction of historic remnants and the natural condition of the environment must be made. The balance of public and private use of
coastal land should also be considered. Arousing local and international contention, these ideologies are at the heart of waterfront debate.
‘Collective Coast’ explores Wellington’s
coastal condition and the intersecting desires of public, private, cultural, economic and environmental interests through a mixed residential design proposal. The proposal tests the application of this wide breadth of research, and stretches across many disciplines and design scales. The proposed project is set in Shelly Bay, along Wellington’s Miramar Peninsular. The site allows for a breadth of possibilities gathered from a wide range of literature to be explored. Given the importance of the waterfront as both a destination for the public and a highly sought after residential zone, the project presents major challenges in planning, urban design, infrastructure and community formation. The desired outcome is to create a
coastal community that both engages and facilitates the wider public’s engagement with the shared environment.

▼ The Bay of Plenty beaches on the east coast of the North Island, New Zealand are of significant physical, ecological and economic importance. Over the previous century, anthropogenic development and the introduction of non-indigenous
coastal plant species has lead to a degradation of many of the Bay of Plenty regions’
coastal dune environments. Restoring these sections of coastline to their natural state strengthens the barrier they provide between
coastal developments and the
coastal ocean, whilst also promoting the growth of native plant species and improving habitat for local macro-invertebrate species. The influence of vegetation on aquifer levels and aeolian sediment transport in the dune and foredune was investigated at Matakana Island in the Western Bay of Plenty. Monitoring of the water table between March and November 2010 was undertaken at two adjacent sample sites, with different dominant overlying vegetation, Ammophila arenaria and Spinifex sericeus. During this time, aeolian sediment transport rates were also monitored through the deployment of sediment traps and two small climate stations. Results showed that aquifer levels beneath the dune face were highly variable. Fluctuations occurred at a range of time scales, stemming from variations in tide, rainfall and profile shape. Short-term fluctuation was primarily linked to tidal forcing. Tidal fluctuations were observed in the aquifer, and differed from tidal fluctuations directly offshore in their shape and amplitude, with some lag between tide and aquifer fluctuations also evident. Aquifer fluctuation shape and lag, and differences between sample sites were linked to the beach drainage capability through aquifer porosity and permeability; hydraulic conductivity; and transmissivity. Long-term change in beach profile shape further influenced aquifer levels, with an accreting beach resulting in an elevating average aquifer level and an eroding beach resulting in a diminishing aquifer level. Aeolian sediment deposition varied greatly across the cross-shore profile. Transport rates were limited by a small beach width when high tides combined with storm surge and wave run-ups limiting the source area. Rainfall further reduced transport potential when coinciding with high wind speed events. Sediment deposition was evenly distributed in the Spinifex dominated dune system, whilst deposition in the Ammophila dune primarily occurred at the seaward limit of vegetation growth. This pattern of deposition is linked to the characteristics of each species, primarily their average height and growth density. Sediment deposition differences between sites explain variances in sediment compaction which alters dune porosity and permeability at each site. Greater porosity and permeability in the Spinifex dominated dune saw the aquifer draining more readily. Lower beach aquifer levels aid accretion and greaten the source for onshore aeolian sediment transport. Spinifex dominated dunes are therefore suggested to provide healthier beach states on Bay of Plenty beaches.

▼ This thesis advances knowledge of the diverse spatialities of gentrification by examining processes of change in coastal towns, drawing upon the case-study location of St Leonards-on-Sea, in the South East of England. Based on rich, empirical findings from semi-structured interviews, content analyses of local media sources, 2001 census data, and a household survey of 173 respondents, it is shown that processes of gentrification are unfolding in St Leonards. The findings suggest that it is beneficial to distinguish between coastal gentrification, and urban/rural gentrification. To emphasise this point, it is argued that there is merit in utilising the term coastification , in order to conceptualise the socio-cultural and economic transformations tied to in-migrants seeking the coastal idyll . The thesis disrupts some dominant theorisations of contemporary gentrification, identifying the presence of pioneer gentrifiers in a coastal town setting. It is contended that simply transferring the representations of urban gentrification to other socio-spatial locations along the urban-rural hierarchy is not a straightforward process. Therefore, gentrification-based regeneration policies should not be transferred in taken-for-granted ways from one location to another.

▼ Coastal flooding and sea level rise pose major threats to
coastal areas around Florida, the US, and around the world. Currently developed areas are at risk, as well as areas likely to be developed in the future. This research focuses on St. Johns County, Florida in the northeastern part of the state. The goal is to estimate the physical and economic vulnerability currently developed areas in St. Johns County face from
coastal flooding events. Along with current development, areas projected to be developed by 2070, according the Florida 2070 study, are also included in the analysis. Various sea level rise scenarios are included with the
coastal flooding analysis to determine how variations in sea level will impact these areas in the event of a 100-year hurricane event. The Hazus-MH software is used to model the
coastal flooding scenarios and generates flood depth grids as well as impacts to buildings. Economic impacts to buildings are also estimated using a parcel-level analysis approach. The outcomes of the analysis show that between 40,000 and 58,000 acres of land may be inundated in the event of a 100-year storm, depending on the amount of sea level rise included in the scenario. Currently developed areas are at risk of between 850 million and 1.1 billion in damage to buildings (2018 dollars). Currently developed areas and additional areas projected to be developed by 2070 face the risk of between 4.2 and 16.6 billion of damage to buildings (2070 dollars). Using this information, communities in St. Johns County can better understand their vulnerabilities and work to minimize risks in the future. Limiting development in risky areas and instituting smart building regulations to mitigate vulnerability will help communities minimize economic impacts in the event of
coastal flooding events in the future. ( en )

▼ Through an overview of California???s
coastal management program and
an examination of oral history traditions and methods, this project makes the case
that utilizing stories and story telling to further the goals of public engagement can
be an important component in the ongoing efforts to protect the coast and preserve
public access.
Long-time former
Coastal Commission Executive Director Peter Douglas
coined the phrase, ???The coast is never saved, it???s always being saved.??? As the
principal author of the 1976
Coastal Act, he participated in myriad
coastal development
battles in the decades that followed.
This project tells the stories of three of those battles through edited oral
interviews with Douglas and other historic figures, supported by archival research. I specifically focus on the
Coastal Commission???s role in creating the public recreational
trail along the shore of Monterey Bay, preserving the historic cottages at
Crystal Cove State Park, and forcing an all-white men???s social club in Santa Monica
to end discriminatory membership practices.
The stories take two forms: narrative prose and audio broadcast pieces. My
premise is that both public and private actors can benefit from a better understanding of
how a generation of dedicated planning practitioners and ordinary citizens stepped forward
to protect the California coast. The intent is to use these case studies to provide
tomorrow???s activists,
coastal managers, planners and policy makers with models for future
coastal protection efforts.

▼ Severe weather events such as hurricanes, ice storms, surge, and flooding have been occurring across the U.S and around the world, threatening places where economic and industrial activities are heavily concentrated. These extreme events are now increasing observed and monitored with a loosely coupled network of geospatial sensors. Analysis of these datasets offers tremendous opportunities in improving the resilience and adaptability of
coastal communities in the face of future natural disasters. Despite the high values in these data sets, the vast size and complex processing requirements of these new data sets make it challenging to effectively use them in
coastal community management applications, in particular emergencies. Yet, unprocessed data are intangible and non-consumable, which is often resulting in ‘data-rich-but-information-poor” situation. The overarching goal of this research is to research, develop, and evaluate a data processing framework that is capable of efficiently processing the emerging large geospatial data sets and extract crucial information to enhance disaster management during large-scale extreme events. This research systematically studied the fundamental aspects of big spatial disaster data including the anatomy of big spatial disaster data, data processing patterns, data quality issues, uncertainty propagation along the analytics pipeline, and adaptive processing in time-sensitive environments. More specifically, this dissertation addresses the following research questions. 1. What is the basic anatomy of big spatial disaster data? 2. What are the core operation categories and processing patterns with big spatial disaster data? 3. How does the uncertainty associated with spatial disaster data sets propagate through a given processing pipeline? 4. How to adequately represent users’ dynamic and complex information needs and processing requirement during
coastal resilience investigations in a unified framework? 5. How to dynamically adapt 3D disaster data analytics given user information needs and processing requirements and algorithm and dataset descriptions? In Chapter 2, I characterized the basic anatomy of big spatial disaster data to highlight the challenges and opportunities in using these emerging data sets in
coastal community management applications during extreme events. I also characterized data processing patterns associated with the emerging big spatial disaster data sets and abstracted these patterns into core operation categories. These work laid the foundation for realizing cloud-based computing of these data sets for disaster response applications. In Chapter 3, I used a case study based approach to demonstrate approaches for quantifying uncertainty propagation in processing geospatial data sets. More specifically, I proposed a method to identify the optimal strategy for approximation parameter selection in interpolating Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data into Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). The method is developed to address the need to model accuracy loss…

▼ This study considered aspects of the vegetation of the coastal zone of southern Mozambique, an area with a rich biodiversity. The vegetation and flora were assessed in their current state including the associated anthropogenic pressures. The environmental conditions that determined the distribution of the vegetation were evaluated. A hierarchical classification, description and ecological interpretation of the vegetation and flora of the coastal zone in southern Mozambique are presented. Analysis was based on 242 sample quadrats that were distributed in a stratified manner throughout the study area. The vegetation could be grouped into six distinct types of vegetation: Dune Forest, Coastal Forest, Coastal Grassland, Coastal Miombo, Coastal Savanna and Coastal Woodland. Species diversity was high for the all the vegetation types, particularly in the woody elements. A total of 673 species in 410 genera was recorded. They represented 104 families with Fabaceae and Rubiaceae being the most common. Of these, 6.6% were endemic or near-endemic to the coastal zone of southern Mozambique with Coastal Forest being the habitat with the greatest endemism. All soils from different vegetation types had poor agricultural potential. Soil properties were the strongest defining environmental feature separating the vegetation types: e.g. pH was high in Dune Forest compared to the others. Results from Maxent modelling suggest that the distribution of endemic species is influenced by a combination of climatic and non-climatic variables. Soil type, temperature annual range and precipitation of the driest month were the most important predictor variables. Overlaying the potential distributions of the seven selected species indicated two areas of abundance of endemic species – these should be given attention for conservation. Endemic species are not well protected in southern Mozambique – their sampled and potential habitats are largely outside protected areas. Hence, additional reserves should be created to improve their protection. Most endemic and near-endemics species were found in the south, from Ponta de Ouro (Matutuine, south of Maputo Province) to Manhica district (north of the Maputo Province) forming part of the Maputaland Centre of Endemism. A second concentration of endemism was found in the Inhambane Province, specifically the Inhassoro and Vilanculos districts. This is proposed to be an Important Plants Area (IPA). Because most endemics and near-endemics are found in the Coastal Forest, their main threat is harvesting for charcoal production, although none of the endemic species are specifically targeted for charcoal production. In Inhambane they are also threatened by the tourism industry, agriculture and settlements. The impact of the habitat destruction on endemic species is expected to cause severe declines in the near future. The tourism industry and harvesting of trees for charcoal production and over-frequent fires are the main drivers of vegetation loss in this region. Shifting agriculture, harvesting for firewood and…

▼ Changes in
coastal environment are the balancing process of nature. However, most of the constructions on the coast affect the environment, cause erosion and further impair peopleâs right of access to the water due to lacking in understanding the
coastal changes. In the past decade, the author of this dissertation has worked on
coastal protection and restoration for Kaohsiung, including Cijin
coastal restoration and Sizihwan landscape improvement etc., and provided new thoughts for the domestic planners dealing with
coastal environment.
Affected by recent
coastal development and environmental changes in Kaohsiung, Cijin coast has suffered serious erosion. Besides, drowning accidence often occurs caused by rip currents. In order to preserve this beautiful beach with a time-honored history, Kaohsiung City Government commenced the âCijin Coastline Protection Projectâ in 2009, the first domestic
coastal restoration project employing offshore submerged breakwaters. The project was successfully completed in July 2013. In this study, numerical tools (GENESIS, MIKE 21) and hydraulic model tests were adopted to investigate littoral drift issue, formulate beach stabilization policy, and evaluate the effects of beach nourishment. The results showed that predominant direction is northward during the prevailing wave season. At Cihou Mountain, wave deflects offshore, and deposits sediment into the navigation channel at the end of southern breakwater for the Kaohsiung First Harbor. Therefore, the best beach stabilization scheme for Cijin coast is to apply offshore submerged breakwaters (or with offshore breakwaters) cooperating with beach nourishment. In this way, the erosion at Cijin can be mitigated, as well as the speed of rip currents, and the safety of all beach users can be insured. As to the evaluation of beach nourishment, the results indicated that it was necessary to integrate the project with beach nourishment, otherwise the native beach sediment in the gap between the submerged break waters would be transported in their lee, thus causing adverse effect to the beach.
Upon the completion of the Cijin Coast Protection Project, the overall
coastal environment, including submerged breakwaters, offshore breakwaters, the bathing beach, the
coastal landscape trail, and the sea-lookout platform all together expand the recreational space from the land to the seaside by connecting with the existing
coastal park. It has also enhanced the opportunities for the tourism industry and accelerated the development of service industry in Cijin area. The work described in this report not only initiates a domestic pioneer project of
coastal protection, but also serves as an indicator of significance.

▼ The risks of
coastal hazard increased significantly due to the climate change and economic development. Thus, tasks of the
coastal protection become more and more important, especially for the small islands such as Orchid Island. The special natural environment of Orchid Island makes the wind and waves strong. Based on this fact, this study wants to find out the reasons of why land uses of Orchid Islandâs
coastal areas remain, and even more and more frequent. Thus, the main objects of this study for Orchid Island include: (1) to understand the residents' awareness of
coastal disasters; (2) to identify the types of land uses in
coastal areas; and (3) to propose management recommendations for the
coastal disaster prevention.
This study explores the research trend of
coastal protection strategies and hazard perceptions through the methodology of âDocument Analysis,â and finds that
coastal protection strategies are no longer concentrating on engineering approaches. To this end, this study takes a non-engineering approach by investigating the hazard perception of the residents in Orchid Island. Based on literature review, there are many studies pointing out that the land use is closely relevant to the
coastal protection both from the perspectives of the
coastal protection or hazard perception. However, conflicts of land uses between traditional culture of indigenous people and tourism exist in Orchid Island due to the legal gaps in the domestic laws and regulations.
The results of field observations and in-depth interviews show that management for some areas with special geographical locations and
coastal land uses for the island is need in the future. In addition, according to the findings of the study on hazard perceptions, residents indeed are aware of the importance of typhoons and waves but not taking them seriously due to the low frequency of
coastal disasters. Furthermore, residents believe that the occurrence of disasters is caused by improper land uses. For the protection strategy, residents consider that areas suffered from serious disasters should be given priority when planning the protection strategies.
In conclusion, this study finds that some areas of Orchid Island do have risks of
coastal disasters, but the land use of
coastal areas is instead more frequent. Therefore, the occurrence of the disaster of Orchid Island is different from that in the past studies. A possible explanation is that, under the consideration of economic development, people âactivelyâ and âintentionallyâ move into the areas affected by natural disasters for the purpose of tourism. Finally,
coastal protection planning in the island will inevitably involve traditional areas of the Tao People. Considering the protection of traditional wisdom and cultural heritage, it is thus necessary to deal with those issues carefully in the future zone-planning.

▼ The vulnerability of a
coast is related to its geomorphic condition, slope
status, past shoreline change, rate of relative sea-level
rise (SLR), tidal range and exposure to waves. A Coastal
Vulnerability Index (CVI) was developed by Gornitz and
Kanciruk in 1989 which has been adopted and modified by
subsequent researchers and organizations. The coast of
Bangladesh is considered to be one of the most vulnerable
in the world, but a thorough assessment of its
vulnerability has not been undertaken previously. This
study has developed a vulnerability index for the entire
coast of the country based on these six physical
variables. A total of 957 cells of the coast (excluding
river mouths) have been divided into five vulnerability
classes for all of the variables except SLR. The SLR
variable has been divided into four vulnerability
classes. The geomorphology variable
has been mapped from satellite imagery to classify the
coast into categories such as mud flat, sandy beach,
mangrove or cliff. Elevation obtained from SRTM, ASTER
and GTOPO datasets has shown contradictory results,
indicating overestimated elevation in dense forested
areas, especially in the Sundarbans coastal zone.
Therefore, slope has been used in preference. The
shoreline of the coast has been detected using a band
ratio approach to discriminate the water line on Landsat
images over a 20- year period from 1989 to 2009. Rates of
shoreline change have been calculated using the End Point
Rate (EPR) method in the Digital Shoreline Analysis
System (DSAS) extension in ArcGIS®. The coast has been
observed to be very dynamic with recorded erosion of 285
m/yr and accretion of 633 m/yr. Sea-level rise has been
calculated using tide-gauge data indicating high
variability along the coast. However, relative sea-level
change along the Bangladesh coast is still unclear.
Similarly, tidal range obtained from secondary sources
has been found to be variable throughout the coast, with
the highest tidal range around the Feni River estuary,
including Sandwip Island. Although most of the studies
have considered wave heights as a variable in the CVI
calculation, this study has considered surge height
because of the frequent cyclones hitting the
coast. Coastal vulnerability indices
for the Bangladesh coast have been calculated using four
formulae: i) product mean ii) average sum of squares,
iii) square means of product mean, and iv) sum of product
methods. Additionally, the fourth formula has been
modified to explore a more reliable vulnerability measure
for the coast. Different formulae have…

▼ Rock coasts comprise 80% of the world’s shorelines and about 50% of the Victorian coast. Their morphology and evolution over time is the result of marine and subaerial erosional processes that carve features such as sea cliffs, shore platforms, and sea stacks out of the landscape. Rock coasts, therefore, evolve over multiple sea level cycles and create dynamic landscapes on an interglacial timescale. Sea level has risen and fallen over geologic time, with coastal features being formed during sea level high stands. While most coastal landforms found along the modern coast were formed over the past 6,000 years, older coastal features have also been preserved over multiple eustatic cycles, both above and beneath modern sea level. As coastal landforms are formed at or very near sea level, preserved paleo-shoreline features can be used as proxies to reconstruct past sea levels on a regional scale, which had not previously been done for the coast of Victoria, Australia.
In this study, an integrated aerial LiDAR and bathymetric multibeam dataset from +20 to -80 m water depth was used to precisely map and quantify the morphology of the rock coast features along the coast of Victoria from Port Fairy in the west to Wilsons Promontory in the east and to analyze the relation between the features’ elevations and the sea levels at which they first formed. This was completed for both the modern coastline as well as paleo-shoreline landforms found 50-60 m below modern sea level, where the offshore geology reflected the onshore geologic units, allowing for an analogous study. These preserved features are believed to have formed during the MIS 3 high stand, during which time sea level most closely matched their average present depths. The culminating results provide not only the first study of the precise morphology of these submerged features in Victoria but also have wider applications for modelling sea level and rocky coast evolution in other temperate, wave dominated environments.

▼ Egmont Key, located at the mouth of Tampa Bay, is part of a dynamic system with many interrelated natural and anthropogenic factors influencing its morphodynamics. This study started in August 2012. During the 3-year period until August 2015, 28 beach profile transects were established and surveyed 10 times. Seventeen historical aerial images from 1942 to 2013 were geo-rectified and analyzed. Three hundred and fourteen sediment samples were procured from the navigation channel dredge area and the beach nourishment area and analyzed for grain size. A numerical wave model was established to simulate the nearshore wave field. The overall goals of this study are to understand the complex morphodynamics of Egmont Key and to evaluate the shore-protection efforts.
The overall area of the Egmont Key has reduced 52% from 2.1 km2 in 1942 to 1.o km2 in 2002. The area loss was mostly caused by beach erosion along the Gulf-facing beach. The island-area reduction from 1942 to 2002 was largely linear. Two periods of accelerated area loss from 1978-1984 and 1999-2002 can be related to dredging of the Egmont Channel and the disposal of dredged materials along the channel. Concerning the relatively high mud content in the borrow area for the 2014 nourishment, a large amount of the fine sediment was lost at a temporal scale of hours to days during the dredging and beach nourishment construction processes. Some of the mud was deposited outside the surf zone at water depths of 2 m or greater. This mud became eroded naturally by energetic conditions at a temporal scale of months. Beach erosion and accretion along the Gulf-facing beach can be related qualitatively to tidal flow patterns. Numerical wave modeling shows that the transverse bars offshore Egmont Key have a moderate influence on the wave field, leading to slightly different wave heights along the shoreline. However, there is no clear relationship between the nearshore wave conditions and the erosion/accretion patterns. The severe shoreline erosion has exposed various fort structures at the shoreline and in the nearshore zone. These structures function as detached breakwaters or groins and have localized influence on the beach state.

▼ Infrastructure, residences, and businesses on Tybee Island are vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). Tybee Island is a national leader in climate adaptation planning, and although their 2016 Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan sought public input
for adaptation options, the next step is to specifically assess residents’ risk perceptions or adaptation preferences. This is important for planning because it 1) facilitates the development of politically palatable policy and 2) identifies
opportunities for targeted outreach. This thesis describes results from a pilot study using Rogers’ Protection Motivation Theory as a theoretical framework to assess Tybee residents’ perceptions of SLR risks and receptivity to SLR adaptation strategies.
Results showed that residents perceived a very high risk from SLR but felt unable to implement adaptation strategies, suggesting a need for Tybee’s government to inform residents about SLR adaptations and boost people’s confidence in their effectiveness,
and the community’s ability to undertake them.

▼ The Coastal Marshland Protection Act (CMPA) and the Coastal Nonpoint Source (NPS) Program are two of Georgia’s primary instruments for controlling human influence on the coastal marshlands. Understanding the history of these measures and
their contemporary management challenges provides context for current efforts to improve coastal protection. Contemporary circumstances raise concerns about the ability of the CMPA to protect the marshlands from impacts of upland development. The Coastal
NPS Program has the potential to address these development impacts but faces challenges of its own. University-based programs and environmental NGOs can strengthen coastal conservation efforts in Georgia by leveraging the existing resources and
institutional infrastructure of these programs. This can be aided by focusing direct actions and assistance at the county level, promoting the collection and more consistent use of scientific information in coastal permitting decisions, and strengthening
institutional and organizational networks.

▼ This study examines issues and obstacles associated with the management of
coastal natural resources and
coastal adaptation in two rural communities in the Philippines. It builds on recent literature on climate change adaptation and a long history of implementation of ICM in the Philippines. The former strategy has emerged recently and expanded rapidly throughout the country, however, lacking actual implementation of appropriate measures locally; whereas the latter one has been practiced in the country for decades and reached a certain level of success, is nonetheless, not perfect. To capture obstacles that prevent or delay these processes a barrier approach has been adopted. It has been hypothesized that the issues affecting management of
coastal resources at community level are likely to be present in or related to process of
coastal adaptation due to the interrelated nature of the two practices. Household survey and interviews were utilized as methods of primary data collection, obtaining a total of 159 survey forms and 27 interviews with community members from two study sites and their respective local government units. The questions and topics discussed concerned climate change issues, threats and management problems experienced by the communities. Through the participantsâ responses, discussions and observations several barriers are hence identified with regard to community based resource management and
coastal adaptation. There is a
iv
general concern of residents about the living natural resources and a high level of awareness about climate change. However, acting in an environment restricted by politicized and institutional constraints prevents some residents from carrying out beneficial tasks and ceases their motivation for maintaining environmentally friendly livelihoods and adopting new effort demanding practices. Three groups of barriers presented in the study highlight (1) governance and institution related barriers, (2) inadequate resources, and (3) attitudinal barriers touching the issue of externalized responses and habitualized behavior.
With climate change adaptation being high on national and international agenda, ICM can provide some lessons for integration of
coastal adaptation strategy into local and community level, and these lessons should be based on realistic practice taking into consideration not only smooth examples but also problematic ones highlighting possible barriers. The study concludes with appraisal of importance and the role of the identified barriers for future practice and some suggestions for further research directions.
