Investigating the Impact of Coastal Erosion at Coastal Communities Coastal erosion is the removal of material from the coast by wave action, tidal currents, and/or human activities, resulting in a landward retreat of the coastline (Nehra, 2018). Coastal erosion can have significant impacts on coastal communities, affecting their economy, environment, and social well-being. This paper […]
Environmental Damage Risk Assessment and Emergency Scheme of Ship Oil Spill Ship oil spills are one of the major threats to the marine ecosystem, as they can cause severe and long-lasting damage to the environment and wildlife. According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), oil spills can kill or harm fish, sea birds, marine […]
How can the shipping industry better manage its waste and reduce its environmental impact, and what technologies are currently available to support this effort? The shipping industry is a major contributor to global trade and economic activity, but it also generates significant amounts of waste that can harm the marine environment and human health. According […]
Marine Biotechnology Marine biotechnology is a field of biotechnology that involves the use of marine organisms and their products for various applications in fields such as medicine, agriculture, industry, and environmental remediation. The marine environment is a rich source of biodiversity and contains a vast array of unique and complex organisms that have developed specialized […]
Marine Renewable Energy Marine renewable energy refers to the energy that can be harnessed from the ocean’s waves, tides, currents, and temperature gradients. It has the potential to be a significant source of renewable energy, and can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. There are a number of technologies that are […]
Sustainable Fishing Practices: The Path to Long-Term Viability Fishing is an important source of food and income for millions of people around the world. However, the unsustainable fishing practices employed by many in the industry have led to depleted fish populations, damaged marine ecosystems, and economic losses. In order to ensure the long-term viability of […]
Marine Biodiversity and Conservation Efforts Marine biodiversity is the variety of life forms that exist in the ocean, from the smallest microbes to the largest whales. The ocean is home to a vast array of species and ecosystems, and provides critical resources and services to humans, including food, recreation, and climate regulation. However, human activities […]
How Does Marine Biology Affect the Environment? Marine biology is the scientific study of marine life, including plants, animals, and other organisms living in saltwater environments. This field is essential to the functioning of the Earth’s ecosystems, as the oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface and contain 97% of its water, making them a […]
Sea Dumping: Legal and Ethical Issues Marine pollution is a growing concern worldwide, with sea dumping being one of the leading causes. Sea dumping, also known as ocean dumping, refers to the practice of discharging waste materials into the sea. It has become a major environmental problem, causing severe harm to marine ecosystems and human […]
What are the key environmental concerns associated with offshore drilling, and what measures can be taken to mitigate these risks Offshore drilling is the process of extracting oil and gas from beneath the seabed. This process poses significant environmental risks that can harm marine life, cause oil spills, and contribute to climate change. In this […]
