Mapping shoreline movement patterns is essential for understanding their evolution and potential responses to climate and human-induced changes.</div><div>Shoreline positions for several islands in the Kalayaan Islands, West Philippine Sea—including Pag-asa, Parola, Kota, Likas, and Lawak—were traced from satellite images obtained via Google Earth, covering the period from 2005 to 2023. These are complemented by field-derived shoreline positions acquired during 2022. Statistics were calculated using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS). Patterns and rates of shoreline change vary among the reef islands. Net accretion has taken place in Parola Island while the rest of the islands have net erosion. Erosion rates are generally high on the eastern sections of the islands, while the southwest sections experience the highest accretion rates. Islands positioned more east of their atolls show greater erosion. The overall shoreline patterns are attributed to the reduced southwest (SW) monsoon and relatively constant northeast (NE) monsoon intensities during the period covered by this study. Consequently, the southwest sediment drift driven by the NE winds dominated over the northeastward sediment drift driven by the SW winds.</div><div>Shorelines also respond to sudden natural and anthropogenic stressors. Episodes of high wave energy conditions, Typhoon Hagupit in 2014 and frequent typhoons in 2017, caused substantial losses in island area. Vegetation Index Green (VI_green) was also computed to assess the extent of vegetation coverage. Losses in vegetation cover also correlate with losses in the island area. A disturbance that likely tempered erosion, temporarily, is the elevation of sediment input to the coast caused by extensive dredging on the reef flat between 2013 and 2014. Dredging exposed and released sediment to the reef. However, this activity reduced the living coral cover and effectively increased the water depth on the reef flat. Consequently, this will decrease the reef's ability to sustain sediment supply to the island in the long term. These various natural and anthropogenic impacts are vital in managing limited sediment resources in light of rising sea levels on small reef island systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50497,"journal":{"name":"Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science","volume":"321 ","pages":"Article 109343"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143936876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A major marine extinction event 372 Ma would probably have eliminated many of these taxa from those estuaries. Tropical marine fish families from the Tethys Sea region would then have used the epicontinental seaways between Africa, Madagascar, India and Australia to colonise the estuaries on these drifting land masses. Speciation by some of these tropical taxa would then have occurred such that the southern temperate waters became occupied by a less species rich cool-water ichthyofauna. A Bray-Curtis similarity matrix was created using the presence/absence of fish families and species from selected ecoregions around the Indian Ocean rim. These analyses showed that fish families present in estuaries on the eastern and western side of the Indian Ocean were over 74 % similar but that the species present were only 40 % similar. In terms of past and present geodispersal of fish taxa, the northern route through tropical coastal waters was always viable but long distance movements through the large central or southern parts of the Indian Ocean basin was not.

This study aimed to assess the carbon flux of abandoned tropical salt pans, using a case study in Budai, southwestern Taiwan by measuring community metabolism and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The results of community metabolism showed that the pelagic community of the salt pans is autotrophic, which is closely related to water chlorophyll <em>a</em> concentration. However, the benthic community is heterotrophic, which is influenced by water temperature and dissolved inorganic phosphorus concentration. The combined metabolism of pelagic and benthic communities in the salt pans exhibited an average carbon absorption of 111.5 g C m⁻² yr⁻¹. The results of GHG emissions measured with floating chambers indicated that the CO₂ flux into the salt pans averaged 139.3 g CO₂ m⁻² yr⁻¹, but a small amount of averaging 354.8 mg CH₄ m⁻² yr⁻¹ and 136.0 mg N₂O m⁻² yr⁻¹ was emitted from the salt pans. Consequently, the net GHG balance indicated that the salt pans serve as systems for removing GHG at an average rate of 92.6 g CO₂e m⁻² yr⁻¹.

However, nutrient export can be mitigated by the coastal filter function, potentially resulting in permanent removal of nutrients through denitrification. Besides removal, nutrients can also be retained in the coastal zone through assimilation, remineralisation or nitrification, with repeated recycling prolonging their availability to organisms. While removal processes have been extensively studied, their effect on the riverine dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) loads reaching the coast may be small. There are only a few accurate estimates that include all processes of the coastal filter. In this study, nutrient concentrations and net autotrophic uptake rates in the water column, together with benthic NO₃⁻ reduction rates and solute fluxes across the sediment-water interface, were measured. We compared a lagoon with the open coast within the outflow area of the Oder River, one of the largest inflows to the southern Baltic Sea, over a seasonal cycle. Particle drift experiments using hydrodynamic model simulations of the Oder estuary yielded water residence times (WRT) along the outflow. In the lagoon, DIN concentrations, primary production and DIN uptake rates were higher than at the coastal station. The data suggested efficient DIN retention, as the majority of riverine DIN was assimilated (85 %), with a preference for NH₄⁺ over NO₃⁻ uptake. High retention in the lagoon was supported by long WRT of up to 180 days. In the open coast, productivity was lower due to continuous dilution of riverine nutrients by transport processes. The sediment served as a periodic source of nutrients for water column processes. Our data suggest that intense recycling in the water column and strong benthic-pelagic coupling promote a tightly coupled nitrification-denitrification, resulting in vital N removal rates in the sediment. Nevertheless, strong predominance of N retention processes, and specifically assimilation over N removal processes, illustrates that the former is an important component of the coastal filter function, as it provides substrates for nutrient removal (organic matter and NO₃⁻). These results extend the assessment of the effectiveness of the coastal filter and should be taken into account in further studies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50497,"journal":{"name":"Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science","volume":"322 ","pages":"Article 109325"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144107837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we use a high-resolution coastal ocean model (CROCO) validated by tidal altimetry and new tide gauge data. We present and analyze the cotidal charts of the main constituents. The amplification occurs first in coastal waters due to resonance over the broad shelf and strengthens in the estuaries, especially in the Geba Channel where a tidal range of 7 m can be reached. This is due, in part, to the funneling of tidal energy, which travels from the south through the Bijagos Archipelago. There is also a resonance of a quarter wavelength (mode 0) for semi-diurnal tides. In smaller estuaries (e.g., Buba), there is no funneling, so the tides can only be amplified by resonance with reflected waves. A strong tidal asymmetry is also demonstrated due to the generation of overtides that are resonant with mode 1 at Geba and mode 0 at Buba. The asymmetry and Stokes drift associated with the progressive waves in the Geba Channel (leading to tidal setup) make it a complex local system with ebb dominance at the mouth, perhaps contributing to the continuous accretion in the Bijagos archipelago.

To address this gap, we established 40 sampling points along the coast of Guangdong in the autumn of 2020 to enhance our understanding of how geo-environmental disturbances have affected the spatial pattern of fish communities. The fish communities along the coast of Guangdong were broadly categorized into three distinct regions (A, B, and C), which were primarily affected by geo-environmental factors including longitude, latitude, depth, and environmental disturbances such as bottom trawling. Notably, biodiversity indicators such as Shannon, Delta+, and FDiv varied significantly in different regions. They were negatively correlated with both longitude and latitude, but positively correlated with water depth and environmental disturbances (W). Furthermore, FDiv served as a critical link between the spatial heterogeneity of fish communities and the geo-environmental disturbances. The spatial average variation degree (SAVD) was positively correlated with biodiversity, but exhibited an opposite pattern with fish community stability.

Measured data show greater levels of interaction than modelled data and although there is little interaction between skew surge and tidal high water, there are sizeable tide-surge interactions between the non-tidal residual and the astronomical tide, the largest being for tidal phase. Around the UK, extreme non-tidal residuals generally occur favourably between 1 and 5 h before tidal high water and at tidal levels that are at, or below, the average tidal level.
