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

2. Transformation of iron constituents during early diagenesis : in situ studies of a Baltic Sea sediment-water interface
Abstract : The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mechanisms and kinetics of the transformation of iron constituents at the sediment-water interface and their interaction with other element cycles during early diagenesis, with emphasis on their relations with oxygen, phosphorus and sulphur. The investigation was carried out in situ at 10 m water depth on a nearshore Baltic Sea soft bottom sediment. READ MORE

3. Numerical Model of Beach Topography Evolution due to Waves and Currents: Special Emphasis on Coastal Structures
Abstract : The beach topography change in the nearshore zone may be induced by natural phenomena such as wind, wave, storm, tsunami, and sea level rise. However, it can also be caused by man-made structures and activities, for example, groins, detached breakwaters, seawalls, dredging, and beach nourishment. READ MORE
