Book excerpt: Coastal Marshes was first published in 1988. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The coastal regions of the United States form a highly diversified environment. In addition to sandy beaches and rocky shorelines, there are lagoons, rivers, estuaries, and marshes. The last are a dominant features of many coastal areas and serve as a transition between sea and uplands. Coastal marshes have been a zone for human development, attractive to industrial and residential building because they provide water frontage. But the public is becoming aware of the great value of these wetlands to fisheries and wildlife and to the local economy that depends on them. This book describes coastal marshes in terms of form, function, ecology, wildlife value, and management. Robert H. Chabreck's emphasis is on the marshes of the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico (there are 5,500 square miles of marshland in Louisiana alone), but he also deals with marshes on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Plant and animal communities are each given a chapter, and the book concludes with considerations of future uses and needs. The author provides references, a glossary, and a list of scientific names, along with numerous illustrations, including a section of color photographs. For thirty years, Robert H. Chabreck has been engaged in research and management of coastal marshes and has often served as a consultant in wetland ecology. He is a professor of wildlife at Louisiana State University.

This book was released on 2007-05-04 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like ocean beaches, sheltered coastal areas experience land loss from erosion and sea level rise. In response, property owners often install hard structures such as bulkheads as a way to prevent further erosion, but these structures cause changes in the coastal environment that alter landscapes, reduce public access and recreational opportunities, diminish natural habitats, and harm species that depend on these habitats for shelter and food. Mitigating Shore Erosion Along Sheltered Coasts recommends coastal planning efforts and permitting policies to encourage landowners to use erosion control alternatives that help retain the natural features of coastal shorelines.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Corps of Engineers studied shoreline erosion at Liza Jackson Park, a publically-owned park within the City of Fort Walton Beach. It was determined that the shoreline is receding at the long-term rate of about 1 foot per year. A plan was evolved which addresses the problems and met with the approval of the resource agencies and the public. The recommended plan provides for a beach about 450 feet long which, with periodic nourishment, would offset erosion and provide for water-oriented recreation benefits. Expansion of an existing salt marsh which presently occupies another 450 feet of shoreline would also control erosion while enhancing wildlife habitat. Erosion of the march would be prevented by a low rock stabilizing structure. Diversion and piping of an existing drainage ditch would help to nourish the marsh, to improve water quality, and to create safer, more esthetically pleasing, and more useful conditions in the park. The total first cost of the Selected Plan is estimated to be $236,000 and average annual equivalent benefits were estimeted to be $358,920 for a benefit/cost ratio of 18 to 1. Keywords: Beach erosion; Shore protection; Wetlands restoration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World of the Salt Marsh is a wide-ranging exploration of the southeastern coast--its natural history, its people and their way of life, and the historic and ongoing threats to its ecological survival. Focusing on areas from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, to Cape Canaveral, Florida, Charles Seabrook examines the ecological importance of the salt marsh, calling it "a biological factory without equal." Twice-daily tides carry in a supply of nutrients that nourish vast meadows of spartina ( Spartina alterniflora )--a crucial habitat for creatures ranging from tiny marine invertebrates to wading birds. The meadows provide vital nurseries for 80 percent of the seafood species, including oysters, crabs, shrimp, and a variety of finfish, and they are invaluable for storm protection, erosion prevention, and pollution filtration. Seabrook is also concerned with the plight of the people who make their living from the coast's bounty and who carry on its unique culture. Among them are Charlie Phillips, a fishmonger whose livelihood is threatened by development in McIntosh County, Georgia, and Vera Manigault of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, a basket maker of Gullah-Geechee descent, who says that the sweetgrass needed to make her culturally significant wares is becoming scarcer. For all of the biodiversity and cultural history of the salt marshes, many still view them as vast wastelands to be drained, diked, or "improved" for development into highways and subdivisions. If people can better understand and appreciate these ecosystems, Seabrook contends, they are more likely to join the growing chorus of scientists, conservationists, fishermen, and coastal visitors and residents calling for protection of these truly amazing places.

Book excerpt: Coastal wetlands are under a great deal of pressure from the dual forces of rising sea level and the intervention of human populations both along the estuary and in the river catchment. Direct impacts include the destruction or degradation of wetlands from land reclamation and infrastructures. Indirect impacts derive from the discharge of pollutants, changes in river flows and sediment supplies, land clearing, and dam operations. As sea level rises, coastal wetlands in most areas of the world migrate landward to occupy former uplands. The competition of these lands from human development is intensifying, making the landward migration impossible in many cases. This book provides an understanding of the functioning of coastal ecosystems and the ecological services that they provide, and suggestions for their management. In this book a CD is included containing color figures of wetlands and estuaries in different parts of the world. - Includes a CD containing color figures of wetlands and estuaries in different parts of the world.

Download or read book Improving Coastal Management Through Integrating Social-Ecological Assessments written by Amanda Grace Guthrie and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Societies and ecosystems are interlinked entities as there are feedbacks and dependencies between the systems and these can be viewed as an integrated, social-ecological system. Social and ecological research is often conducted independently which contributes to management recommendations that are premised on a false dichotomy. Compounding these challenges, climate change is accelerating and continues to exacerbate socio-ecological stressors. Coastal wetlands, such as salt marshes, are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise and coastal development. Shoreline erosion is often managed through installing engineered shoreline armoring (i.e., bulkhead) that reduces many of the natural adaptive mechanisms present in coastal ecosystems. In contrast, natural and nature-based features (e.g., living shorelines) can protect coastal properties from storm damage and reduce erosion while potentially adapting to new conditions. The goal of this dissertation is to integrate social and ecological assessments of shoreline systems to improve coastal management, with different chapters addressing different elements of the shoreline social-ecological system (Figure 1). Chapter 2 includes a comprehensive comparison of nekton habitat use at living shorelines and natural marshes over a range of living shoreline age and environmental settings. It shows that living shorelines provide similarly suitable nekton habitat as natural marshes. Chapter 3 examines property owner perceptions of shoreline modifications and how they relate to their decision making. This chapter reveals that property owners often perceive riprap to be more effective than living shorelines at erosion control, withstanding storms, and adapting to sea level rise. Although the ecological benefits of living shorelines are often recognized, these benefits are not often factored into property owner shoreline decision making. Chapter 4 evaluates how social interactions affect property owner decision making and simulates how these social groups can affect tidal marsh sustainability. This work shows that NGOs, state employees, and friends are often influential for living shoreline property owners which indicates a greater need for NGOs and state employees to engage in local communities. Yet, even under accelerated rates of living shoreline implementation by individual property owners, the modification rates may be to be too slow to meaningfully offset anticipated marsh loss from shoreline development and sea level rise. Chapter 5 uses a social-ecological network analysis to evaluate how ecosystem services are considered in shoreline policy and during decision making. Ecosystem services are used as a bridge between the social and ecological components. Results show that marsh structures that contribute to the desired ecosystem services are not explicitly considered in polices or during decision making. There is a need to reevaluate the underlying assumptions of coastal policies. This dissertation affirms that living shorelines provide necessary ecosystem services, such as nekton habitat, but these benefits are not realized by property owners. The piecemeal and property owner-driven approach of shoreline modification for stabilization is currently ineffective in protecting salt marsh habitat. This indicates there is a need for a more comprehensive shoreline management approach that accounts for regional spatial scales and incorporates the underlying functions of a marsh that create many socially desired benefits.
