Ports are essential nodes in the global supply chain, facilitating the movement of goods and passengers across the world. However, ports are also major energy consumers and sources of environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, noise and waste. Therefore, improving port energy efficiency and management is crucial for achieving sustainability goals and […]
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 aims to investigate the causes, effects, and control strategies […]
Distance education, also known as online learning or e-learning, is a form of education that uses information and communication technologies to deliver courses or programs to learners who are separated from the instructor by time and/or space. Distance education has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which […]
Maritime disputes are conflicts that arise between states or other actors over the ownership, control, or use of maritime areas or resources. Maritime disputes can involve issues such as sovereignty, jurisdiction, delimitation, navigation, fishing, environmental protection, security, and energy exploration. Maritime disputes are often complex and multifaceted, involving historical, legal, political, economic, and strategic factors.Can […]
Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) are two complementary approaches that aim to promote the sustainable use and conservation of coastal and marine resources. ICZM focuses on the land-sea interface, where multiple human activities and environmental pressures interact, while MSP addresses the allocation of space and resources in the marine environment. […]
Maritime liens are legal claims on a vessel or its cargo that arise from various maritime transactions or events, such as unpaid wages, supplies, repairs, salvage, collision, or personal injury. They are a form of security interest that attaches to the vessel or its cargo regardless of the owner’s identity or location. Maritime liens are […]
