These findings draw on insights from geomorphology, ecology, and coastal engineering to assess coastal barrier vulnerability in light of global change.
Nevertheless, they do identify a broad compass of recent concerns of ecologists and of notable contributors to ecology.
Overall, simple and viable measures are suggested based on multi-spectral data to sustain this sensitive coastal ecology.
This review demonstrates that offshore renewable energy developments will have direct and, potentially, indirect consequences for coastal ecology, with these effects occurring at different scales.

Does teaching in coastal schools provide teachers the opportunities of teaching environmental education?3 answersTeaching in coastal schools provides teachers with opportunities to teach environmental education. Access to science-based environmental education is critical for improving adaptive capacity and resilience in rural coastal communities. There are environmental education programs in coastal regions of the United States that educate school children about coastal issues. Field courses at coastal locations can be used to teach marine ecosystems as an example, creating rich experiences that deliver curriculum content and improve ocean literacy. However, marine education is often marginalized in school education, and marine specialists need to embed school education in their action plans. Teaching environmental education in schools away from the coast is also possible, as demonstrated by activities carried out in a mountain region far from the nearest coast.
What is coastal mediterranean?5 answersThe coastal Mediterranean refers to the coastal areas along the Mediterranean Sea. These areas include coastal lagoons, beach barrier-lagoon systems, and hotel environments that are influenced by the Mediterranean Sea. Coastal lagoons are shallow water bodies separated from the sea by a barrier and are characterized by different water characteristics compared to the nearby seawater. They are susceptible to changes in salinity, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient content due to increased evaporation and the influence of surrounding land. Beach barrier-lagoon systems are formed by sedimentation processes and are influenced by fluvial sediment supply and human activity. The coastal hotel environments are highly commodified spaces inhabited by tourists, and they play a significant role in mass tourism in the Mediterranean. These coastal areas are also affected by extreme hydrometeorological events such as coastal storms, which have severe impacts on the coasts and coastal communities.
