  2. 11. Effects of contrasting types of marine protected areas on seagrass- and coral communities : are community-based reserves an important complement to government-managed protected areas?

    Author : Angelica Chirico; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : Coastal ecosystems, including seagrass beds and coral reefs, are among the most ecological and economical important ecosystems on Earth. At the same time as these ecosystems support livelihoods of coastal communities they are being highly degraded worldwide. READ MORE

  5. 13. Role of sediment organic matter quality and benthic organisms for the fate of organic contaminants in marine systems

    Author : Maria E. Granberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sediment; ecotoxicology; macrofauna; bacteria; PAH; PCB;

    Abstract : Marine sediments constitute important contaminant sources within our environment. Organic matter input to marine sediments changes seasonally in terms of both quantity and quality, and has been profoundly altered in many coastal areas due to eutrophication. READ MORE

  6. 14. Patterns of small-scale coastal fisheries and local fisheries management in Tanzania : adaptation to a changing climate

    Author : Mathew Ogalo Silas; Martin Gullström; Hans W. Linderholm; Mattias Sköld; Patrick Polte; Christina Hicks; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Small-scale fisheries; tropical coastal seascape; nearshore-offshore linkages; coastal ecosystems; fish catch landings; communities; adaptation; climate change; fishing overfishing; Marine Ecotoxicology; marin ekotoxikologi;

    Abstract : Coastal habitats like mangroves, seagrass meadows, coral reefs, and adjacent offshore waters constitute an important part of the tropical coastal seascape. They provide conducive environmental conditions for fish and other marine animals, which serve as food and income for coastal communities around the world. READ MORE

  7. 15. Bioaccumulation and biological effects of organic contaminants in Icelandic coastal waters

    Author : Halldóra Skarphéđinsdóttir; Åke Granmo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Miljögifter; Marine Ecotoxicology; marin ekotoxikologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis, studies on organic contamination from both diffuse and point sources in Icelandic waters are presented. The aim was to investigate bioaccumulation and biological effects of the contaminants or biomarkers, and their applicability in environmental marine coastal monitoring, especially in areas with moderate or low levels of contamination such as Iceland.
