Marine pollution by various debris is rising in the context of increasing urbanization, industrialization and worldwide trade. Here, we review marine macro-litter with focus on sources, abundance, distribution, and impact on aquatic wildlife, human health, and the economy. We observe that about 75...
Combating poverty is at the heart of the continent's efforts to attain sustain- able economic growth. To this end, the Bank seeks to stimulate and mobilize inter- nal and external resources to promote in- vestments as well as provide its regional member countries with technical and finan- ...
A global database of tropical surges has not yet been developed because of several data collection challenges. One of the problems relates to scale, as scientists rely on permanent tide gauges for water level observations, but these gauges are usually distributed too far apart to capture the peak...

Map of the regions included in this global literature review. SURGEDAT includes data from both storm surge and storm tide observations. Storm surge is the difference between an observed water level and the predicted level based on astronomical tides. Such observations are provided by tide gauges be...
The investigation of multiple sources in household water management is considered overly complicated and time consuming using paper and pen interviewing (PAPI). We assess the advantages of computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) in Pacific Island Countries (PICs). We adapted an existing PAPI sur...
The world has a long record of shoreline and related erosion problems due to the impacts of climate change/variability in sea level rise. This has made coastal systems and large inland water environments vulnerable, thereby activating research concern globally. This study is a bibliometric analysis ...
