  1. 1. Analyzing the impact of marine protected areas on coastal zones : A case-study of Addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area, South Africa

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Author : Laura Elana Babette Obbink; [2023]
    Keywords : Marine Protected Areas; Sustainability; Coastal Zones; Biodiversity; Local Environmental Awareness; South Africa;

    Abstract : The ocean is, with its extraordinary ability to regulate the climate and absorb carbon dioxide, a vital ecosystem for all life on the planet. Moreover, the ocean is highly important for coastal communities as a source of income and nutrition, and as a consequence of increasing dependence it is becoming more significant to mitigate the effects of these anthropogenic activities on the ocean and its resources.

  3. 2. Kenyas mangroveskogar : en analys av estetiska, miljömässiga och sociala värdens förekomst inom mangroveskogarna i Mida Creek

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Sofie von Kauffmann; [2022]
    Keywords : Mangroveskogar; ekosystemtjänster; värden; Mida Creek; Kenya;

    Abstract : Mangroveskogar bildar ett ekosystem som växer i tidvattenzonen längst med kustområden, bland annat Mida Creek i Kenya, och har bidragit med ekosystemtjänster för lokalbefolkningen sedan 800 före vår tid. Globalt har en minskning av mangroveskogar skett i yta, vilket påverkar många människor dagligen, därför är förvaltningen och planeringen för dem väsentlig för framtiden. READ MORE

  4. 3. Save the bay: a case study of fisheries co-management in Gökova Bay, Turkey

  6. 5. Spatial and temporal variations in stable isotope signatures (δ13C and δ15N) of the gammarids and the common carp in the southern coast of the Caspian Sea

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Nazila Hajizadeh Koupayeh; [2020]
    Keywords : carbon stable isotope; Caspian sea; Cyprinus carpio; food webs; Gammarus aequicauda; nitrogen stable isotope; Pontogammarus maeoticus;

    Abstract : Despite the growing body of research on the use of stable isotope analysis in food web studies, spatial and temporal variations in stable isotope ratios of coastal communities are still poorly understood. The aim of my study is to explore how carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes of selected benthic communities vary spatially and temporally across the south of Caspian Sea. READ MORE
