Abstract Climate change-induced sea level rise has exacerbated coastal change putting millions of people at risk from hazards, such as flooding and erosion. Nature-based solutions have been recognised an opportunity to simultaneously address the hazard risks achieve biodiversity goals. While are included in climate adaptation strategies, “hard” engineered still often preferred by those implementing schemes. We sought explore diverse perspectives on UK flood management among interested and/or...
Aquaculture plays a significant role in food security and provides livelihoods employment for millions of people among coastal communities worldwide. However, the growing aquaculture sector has also created debates around its long-term ecological sustainability, economic viability, potential social inequalities governance issues. We investigated perceived challenges opportunities to achieving sustainable mud crab tropical regions by using case study farms Andhra Pradesh, India. Informed...
Abstract Little is known about the functions of crustacean gut microbiome, but environmental parameters and habitat are to affect composition intestinal which may in turn physiological status host. The mud crab Scylla serrata an economically important species, wild‐caught, farmed across Indo‐Pacific region. In this study, we compared microbiome (in terms microbial species richness abundance) S. collected from wild sites, farms, east west coast India, also tested effects environment on...
Most coastal areas around the world are currently at risk of flooding, which is increasing due to sea level rise and other impacts a changing climate. The design appropriate flood protection policies schemes thus becoming more imperative. Partly in response net zero gain agendas, practitioners across sectors have started champion ‘greener’ nature-based solutions place traditional hard defences. However, social acceptance limited, examples worldwide too scarce fully test...
Coastal hazards pose a significant risk to people, property, and infrastructure worldwide. They will be increasing over the next century mainly driven by sea level rise. Managing coast in sustainable way requires understanding impacts under changing climate of actions done decisions taken now. This often relies on exploring response coastal systems natural and/or anthropogenic drivers using modelling tools. The experimental design such work is essential providing robust scientific evidence...
Estuaries are complex and dynamic systems where physical biological processes overlap with social economic activities. Increasing coastal hazards human pressure threaten the fragile equilibrium of these ecosystems. The combination fluvial increases probability flooding in estuaries. Expanding urban development low-lying areas their exposure (i.e. population, number value assets), which impacts vulnerability communities businesses. Traditionally, hard-engineered structures grey defences) have...
Research characterising the effects of future climate change on marine environment remains heavily focussed that temperate regions and organisms. Furthermore, little is known these early life stages many species. Tropical are already experiencing an increase in sea surface temperature decrease salinity, conditions favoured by pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio spp. The crabs to be particularly vulnerable both direct physiological exposure harmful microorganisms, yet there limited data...
