Tourism is of growing economical importance to many nations, in particular for developing countries. Although tourism an important economic vehicle the host country, its continued growth has led on-going concerns about environmental sustainability. Coastal and marine can directly affect environment through direct indirect tourist activities. For these reasons sector needs practical actions Several studies have shown how education minimizes impact on proactive for, preserving natural...
Tourism is one of the largest economic sectors in world. It has a positive effect on economy many countries, but it can also lead to negative impacts local ecosystems. Informal environmental education through Citizen Science (CS) projects be effective increasing citizen knowledge and awareness short-term. A change could bring behavioral long-term, making tourism more sustainable. However, long-term effects participating CS are still unknown. This first follow-up study concerning project...
Tourism is one of the most important economic sectors worldwide, with significant overarching impact on environment, including negative effects caused by tourist inappropriate behavior while vacation. By providing informal educational activities, tourism also has an educative role that leads to positive learning outcomes and beneficial environmental effects. Here we present short- long-term a project for education (Glocal Education) carried out in three travel destinations, aimed at...
The quality of data collected by non-professional volunteers in citizen science programs is crucial to render them valid for implementing environmental resources management and protection plans. This study assessed the reliability during project Scuba Tourism Environment (STE), carried out mass tourism facilities Red Sea between 2007 2015. STE involved 16,164 volunteer recreational divers collection on marine biodiversity using a approach. Through specifically designed questionnaire,...
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...
Abstract The present paper addressesthe problem of valuing contingent claims on the term structure in a single good economy under uncertain inflation. In context arbitrage-free valuation, simple diffusion model for pricing inflation -indexed securities is proposed. A martingale characterization nominal and real prices given stochastic generalization Fisher equation provided. An example two-factor which can be used to value inflation-linked securitiesin practical applications, also discussed....
Large artificial coral reef communities, such as those thriving on sunken shipwrecks, tend to mirror of nearby natural reefs and their long-term dynamics may help future resilience environmental change. We examined the community structure world-renown “SS Thistlegorm” wreck in northern Red Sea from 2007 through 2014, analyzing data collected during recreational citizen science monitoring project “Scuba Tourism for Environment”. Volunteer divers 6 different diving parameters which included...
