Since late 2014, the Mexican Caribbean coast has periodically received massive, atypical influxes of pelagic Sargassum spp. (sargasso). Negative impacts associated with these include mortality nearshore benthic flora and fauna, beach erosion, pollution, decreasing tourism high management costs. To understand dynamics sargasso influx, we used Landsat 8 imagery (from 2016 to mid-2020) record coverage in sea off coastline, a maximum reported September 2018. Satellite image analysis also showed...
The present work shows the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles through a green method, using sargassum extracts, which provide reducing and stabilizing compounds. conditions medium in reaction was carried out evaluated, that is, magnetic stirring, ultrasound assisted, resting condition. UV-Vis, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction results confirmed with nanometric crystal size. scanning electron microscopy analysis showed morphology size particles depends on condition used. It obtained between 20...

Present future challenges of coastal erosion in Latin America.The zones America have many landforms environments, including sedimentary cliffs, deeply incised estuaries, headlands, barrier coasts low lying, muddy plains. These forms will respond differently to the expected changes climate associated sea level rise, which may...
A broadly accepted paradigm is that vegetation reduces coastal dune erosion. However, we show during an extreme storm event, surprisingly accelerates In 104-m-long beach-dune profile experiments conducted within a flume, discovered while initially creates physical barrier to wave energy, it also (i) decreases run-up, which discontinuities in erosion and accretion patterns across the slope, (ii) increases water penetration into sediment bed, induces its fluidization destabilization, (iii)...
Tropical beaches provide coastal flood protection, income from tourism, and habitat for flagship species. They urgently need protection erosion, which is being exacerbated by changing climate development. Traditional engineering solutions are expensive, unstable temporary solutions, often disrupt natural sediment transport. Instead, foreshore stabilization nourishment may a sustainable resilient long-term solution. Field flume ecosystem process measurements, along with data the literature,...
This paper aims to highlight the prevailing experiences of Latin America and clarify what ‘green infrastructure’ entails in addition describing seven case studies from a range coastal ecosystems (wetlands, dunes, beaches coral reefs) at scales varying local regional. The are categorised according their degree naturalness (nature-based, engineered ecosystems, soft engineering, ecologically enhanced hard infrastructure de-engineering). Generally, implementation green projects increase...
The coastal zone is in a critical state worldwide, due to the loss and fragmentation of its ecosystems. Much this caused by long-term anthropic local, regional, or global actions, which drive squeeze processes. Most criteria evaluate effects are focused on merely identifying effect zone. Here, we propose framework manage (identify, analyze, quantify, tackle) squeeze. This DESCR examines relations between Drivers, Exchanges, States environment subsequently chronic, negative Consequences...
Abstract Infrastructure is necessary to protect and provide the goods services required by humans. As coastal green infrastructure (CGI) aims respect work with natural processes, it a feasible response mitigate or avoid consequences of squeeze. The concept CGI receiving increased attention late due challenges facing us, such as climate change, population growth overexploitation resources on coast. Terms which may be applied encourage construction infrastructure, minimize responsibility for...
Abstract This paper presents a multivariate classification of the global wave climate into types driven by atmospheric circulation patterns. The primary source net long‐term variability is evaluated based on historical simulations. Results show that monsoon, extratropical, subtropical, and polar Pacific North Atlantic Oceans are dominated natural variability, whereas extratropical subtropical in Indian Ocean, tropical exhibit warming signal. In sector Southern strong may mask signal yet to...
Holopelagic Sargassum species have bloomed recurrently in the northern tropical Atlantic since 2011, causing socioeconomic and environmental problems. Little is known about their basic biology responses to abiotic environment. The aim of this study was determine how temperature affects growth rates genotypes S. fluitans III, natans I, VIII that predominate these blooms. were evaluated specially designed ex situ systems between 22 31 °C, which corresponds with natural range seaweeds Atlantic....
Coastal development and climate change are dramatically increasing the risks of flooding, erosion, extreme weather events. Coral reefs other coastal ecosystems act as natural defenses against hazards, but their degradation increases risk to people property. Environmental degradation, however, has rarely been quantified a driver risk. In Quintana Roo, Mexico, region on Mexican Caribbean coast with an annual tourism economy 10 billion USD, coral constitute barrier flooding from hurricanes....
The harnessing of renewable sources marine energy has become a promising solution for number problems, namely satisfying the increasing demand electricity, reduction greenhouse gas emissions, and provision to regions unconnected national grid. Tropical countries have an interesting dichotomy: Despite their varied potential energy, environmental social conditions impose severe constraints on development industry. Moreover, exploitation these opportunities is limited by economies’ reliance...
Abstract Wave direction and wave power are the main climate‐related drivers of large‐scale coastal morphological hazards on open sandy coastlines. El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is climate driver affecting global climates interannual timescales. Hence, a quantification variability with ENSO would aid characterization risk as first‐pass assessment tool. However, no such data available scale at present. To address this, this work (1) quantifies impacts mean power, (2) classifies coast...
