The most consensus regarding scientific issues was in support of imposing harsher use-regulations, clarifying the effects of fishing activities, and better understanding cultural patterns of reef use. For the management survey, there was less agreement overall, with the greatest disagreement regarding ...
First, the vessel's illegal grounding has caused serious damage to the coral reef ecosystem, substantially inhibiting the growth and recovery of coral in the surrounding area. Second, the heavy metal precipitation caused by the military vessel's corrosion, along with the discharge of garbage and s...
We are coming to realize, however, that food security often has more to do with poverty,democracy, andequitabledistribution than it does with the amount of food available. Water deficits and contamination of existing water supplies threaten to be criticalenvironmental issues in the future for ...
With the alarming rate of increase in population, the loss of natural resources has become one of the major concerns. Issues like deforestation, animal extinction, shortage of water, lack of space and food are only some of the concerns brought on by the lack of resources. There are many rea...
Physical alterations of the Earth’s waters, combined with massive industrial, agricultural, and residential pollution, have taken a heavy toll on aquatic life. By 2015 almost one-fifth of the world’s coral reefs had been destroyed, more than a third were under threat, and less than half we...

There is a great need for technical solutions that will address these energy and environmental issues in the automotive industry as well as elsewhere. Fuel cell technology, as a highly efficient energy converter, coupled with hydrogen as an energy carrier produced from renewable energy sources is on...
Records of past environmental changes can be found in a range of natural archives, such as ice sheets, coral reefs, sedimentary sequences and fossils, all of which can make vital contributions to studies of contemporary global environmental issues, such as climate and sea-level change, ...
