The natural conservation of coastal lagoons is important not only for their ecological importance, but also because the valuable ecosystem services they provide human welfare and wellbeing. Coastal are shallow semi-enclosed systems that support habitats such as wetlands, mangroves, salt-marshes seagrass meadows, well a rich biodiversity. complex social-ecological with livelihoods, wellbeing to humans. This study assessed, quantified valued 32 lagoons. main findings are: (i) definitions still...
Abstract The arid coasts of North Africa, extending over 4633 km from the Gulf Tunis to Nile Delta, are undergoing pronounced shoreline retreats and coastal floodings that reported as a consequence ongoing sea level rise resulting global warming. Of particular interest abnormal dynamics for deltaic sandy beaches, which severely impacted by abrupt decadal variabilities in both climatic anthropogenic drivers their increased vulnerability disturbances hazards. Unfortunately, evolution,...
Heavy metal concentrations of mercury, cadmium, lead, zinc, cooper, nickel, manganese, and chromium in Mytilus galloprovincialis were investigated to provide information on pollution Safi coastal area, since these metals have the highest toxic potential. The concentration Hg Pb was determined by AFS ICP-MS methods, respectively, whilst remaining (Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Zn, Ni) quantified AAS. High chromium, mercury levels registered tissue samples collected from two stations near Jorf Lihoudi city,...
This study provides an integrated approach using geographical information system (GIS) based on a multi-criteria (MCDA) to assess coastal vulnerability, resulting from human activity, population density, erosion, and climate change-induced sea level rise. A vulnerability index (CVI) for erosion floods was calculated mapped (∼24 km in length; ∼400 m width, 11.47 km2 surface) the lagoon barrier of Nador located Mediterranean coast Morocco. Results suggest that 54% (∼13 km) shoreline is...
Abstract Storms can cause significant damage, severe social disturbance and loss of human life, but predicting them is challenging due to their infrequent occurrence. To overcome this problem, a novel deep learning machine approach based on long short-term memory (LSTM) Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) was applied predict storm characteristics occurrence in Western France. A combination data from buoys database between 1996 2020 processed for model training testing. The models were...
Infertility has emerged as a significant public health concern, with assisted reproductive technology (ART) is last-resort treatment option. However, ART's efficacy limited by financial cost and physical discomfort. The aim of this study to build Machine learning (ML) decision-support models predict the optimal range embryo numbers transfer, using data from infertile couples identified through literature reviews. Binary classification were developed classify cases into two groups: those...
This paper reviews the reconstruction of European Atlantic storm events with contribution a new stormy in its central part. Three marsh environments on island Yeu were chosen to identify disturbing from Mid- Late Holocene vibracore sampling, radiocarbon dating and sedimentary analysis. Nine probable intervals high energy deposition these low-transport-activity are estimated: 600–500, near 1590, 2100–1950, 2850–2350, 3500–3270, 5400–5370, 6650–6510, 7000 between 7670 7470 calibrated years...
Over the last 30 years, oil spills have contributed significantly to coastal and marine pollution, causing disturbance of environment. This recurrent hazard has increasingly been taken into account through prevention plans in Coastal Zones Integrated Management. Numerous studies attempted analyse effects particular identify those areas that are most vulnerable. Although several considered both environmental socioeconomic issues, them focused only on vulnerability. The aim our research is...
Coastal lagoons are very sensitive to anthropogenic impacts and sedimentary records may provide valuable temporal reconstructions of the environmental changes in lagoon, coastal zone, catchment area. The Alvarado Lagoon (Veracruz, southwestern gulf Mexico) belongs an extensive complex wetlands recognized as a Ramsar site. However, its basin has one highest deforestation rates Mexico due transformation lowlands for agriculture grazing, thus causing siltation surrounding aquatic bodies. To...
This paper presents an integrated method to assess the vulnerability of coastal risks by applying Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and spatial analysis techniques with a geographic information system (GIS). The coast Mohammedia, located in Morocco, was chosen as study site implement validate proposed framework GIS-FAHP-based methodology. Coastal risk mapping reflects multi-parametric causative factors such sea level rise, significan twave height, tidal range, shoreline evolution,...
