Sundarbans, the largest mangrove of Bangladesh, is victim to a vast amount of hazardous events. Frequencies of cyclones flood and drive the mangroves woody over-story to the ground leaving shrubs and wetland. Some other significant threats are deforestation leading to human settlements for fuel, ...
Biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, globalization, and societal transformations are challenging rural, and especially coastal communities in Guinea-Bissau where mangrove-dependent livelihoods are exposed to increased vulnerability. The Diola, traditional farmer-fishermen of the northern island-villages, have...
Humans are exposed to M-NPLs of various sizes and types through inhalation of contaminated air, ingestion of contaminated water and food, and other routes. It is estimated that Americans ingest tens of thousands to millions of M-NPLs particles yearly, depending on socioeconomic status, age, and...
3.1 Cumulative risk to habitats The full linkage framework (Figure 2) consisted of 1954 impact chains. Seagrass had the highest number of impact chains (434), followed by sediment (430), coral (391), pelagic (371) and mangrove (328). When impact chains were weighted according to risk crite...
The government should go after companies that pollute and poison the rivers, as well as the ones that destroy our rainforests and mangrove reserves. Name the companies involved in destroying our environment and which powerful and wealthy people own them. ...
In many tropical areas, natural and protective mangrove swamps have been replaced with shrimp and fish farms, further exposing coastlines to erosion145. Consequences of this wetland loss include the oxidation of extensive reserves of organic matter into CO2, reduced water retention and storage, more...

Researchers from the University of Western Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science showed that turtle hatchlings which enter the water close to a jetty are seven times more likely to be eaten. "Jetties attract large numbers of predatory fish, such as mangrove jack," lead author...
Along with the livelihood loss, restriction in access to natural resources (e.g. restriction to the mangrove forest for fish- ing, wood collection, honey harvesting, leaf collection) and economic disparity to get social safety net programme have led to food inse- curity. Therefore, as older ...
This debris poses physical hazards to marine life and contributes to habitat destruction, particularly in coral reefs and mangrove ecosystems. Marine debris and solid waste pose many challenges to ocean engineering especially when it comes to keeping the infrastructure under good condition, running ...
