Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the competition among major, regional as well as littoral states. The Caspian Sea is the largest enclosed body of salty water in the world without having a natural connection to the open sea or any ocean. Moreover, it possesses immense hydrocarbon reserves in the subsoil. The geopolitical location of the Caspian Region is also essential for the Silk Road connecting Europe and Central Asia. So, due to its geopolitical position, availability of vast reserves of energy is an object of acute rivalry from both regional and non-regional powers. Competitions among major powers and conflictual claims of littoral states over its resources have influences on state strategies, programs, foreign policy concepts related to the region.

Full textAbstract:
We characterized the local benthic Chironomidae by analyzing the numerical density, biomass, diversity index of Shannon-Wiener and dominance of larvae in the main channel of the Ivinhema River, in a secondary channel, in five lakes connected to the main channel and in five lakes without connection. Of the 68 taxa identified, Aedokritus sp., Tanytarsus sp., Chironomus strenzkei Fittkau, 1968 and Procladius sp.1 were found in all sampling sites and were considered morphospecies with greater of greatest ecological plasticity. Chironomus strenzkei Fittkau, 1968, contributed with the greatest biomass in the central region of lakes without connection, whereas Aedokritus sp. dominated in the littoral of lakes. The greater values of diversity indices in the littoral region of channels were due to the greater water flow and to the higher food availability in these areas. The dominance indices, by contrast, were greater on the central region of these environments. The littoral region has exclusive characteristics, representing habitats that could play important controlling in the numerical density and index diversity on the ecosystem, whereas that the biomass of benthic invertebrates in the central region in some biotopes would have different spatial probably according organisms drift.

Full textAbstract:
The specific and spatial structure of benthic algal community on the littoral zone in the east area of Murman coast of the Barents Sea (69°11'78''N, 36°04'38''E) has been studied in the conditions of anthropogenic influence absence. As a material for studying indicators of fucoid community and populations of dominating species in connection with habitats own long-term seasonal observations and data of scientific expeditions of 1994-2017 have served. The species composition of littoral phytocenosis consists of 39 species including 18 brown, 9 red and 12 green seaweeds, with prevalence on number of annual and seasonal species, on a biomass - perennials. Ecological factors influence essentially on seaweed distribution in different sites of the littoral zone. The major abiotic factors are presence of firm substratum, surf and storms, ice motion. Seaweed littoral community had multi-level structure, in which the basic layer was occupied by brown seaweeds with numerous litophytes and epiphytes under beds and on thallus of dominant species. The community algal biomass in the littoral zone was from 2.8 ± 0.6 up to 17.7 ± 2.9 kg/m² and depended on the species structure, substratum for benthic seaweeds, surf and tides. The biomass and density of fucoid seaweeds varied over a wide range in different biotopes under a natural rigid press of seasonal changes of environmental factors (temperature, surfs, storms) during tides and under natural damages of littoral community in the arctic region. As a whole littoral fucoid phytocenosis of the bay could be considered as an example of adaptation of seaweeds populations to the conditions of the northern seas. The received results could be useful for estimating ecological status of coastal ecosystem, at stock assessment of commercial seaweeds and for algal aquaculture development in the Barents Sea.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores aspects of the contemporary South African poet Douglas Livingstone’s “A littoral zone” (1991) from a narratological point of view, leaning largely on Peter Hühn’s narratological concept of the event and Rachel Blau DuPlessis’ “hypothesis of poetry as segmentivity” as formulated by Brian McHale (2009:18). A discussion of two juxtaposed poems from the said volume explores how the poems’ respective anecdotes and events are segmented, then arranged and sequenced into specific narratives to highlight the speaker’s conviction of the necessity of a biological and spiritual connection with the natural environment. In the larger context of the volume there are numerous other narrative lines (in the form of poems about specific experiences the poet had) that are juxtaposed in a similar fashion. Collectively these juxtaposed narrative lines then constitute on the level of the volume as a whole the autobiographical narrative of the poet’s development as self-ironic individual. The various anecdotes also contribute to the formation and development of the theme of symbiosis, a theme that has a direct bearing on how the poet sees the gap between humankind’s current and supposed connection with nature. The main event of the volume is to be found in the reader’s mind: the realisation that bridging this gap is absolutely necessary and that it starts with the individual.

Full textAbstract:
Features of the species and spatial structure of macrobenthic sublittoral communities in a lagoon ecosystem on the Green Cape (the White Sea) were studied. 31 invertebrate species and 3 species of sea grasses and algae (Zostera marina, Cladophora sericea, and Fucus vesiculosus) were found in the sublittoral of the surveyed lagoon. The data on the species composition, diversity and spatial structure of macrobenthos communities indicate the predominance of littoral brackish-water and marine euryhaline macrobenthos species (Hydrobia ulvae, Tubificoides benedii, Chironomus salinarius, and Macoma balthica) in the coastal region of the lagoon, marine euryhaline littoral and sublittoral species (mainly polychaetes Heteromastus filiformis, Polydora ciliata, and Capitella capitata) in the central deeper region, and marine sublittoral less euryhaline species (Pontoporeia femorata, Anonyx nugans, Nereimyra punctata, Terebellides stroemi, Astarte montagui, Micronephthys minuta, and Atylus carinatus) at the exit from the lagoon. The ecosystem of the Green Cape lagoon belongs to lagoons significantly fenced off from the sea with depleted specific fauna (many littoral species) and largely influenced by carbon load and salinity. The reduced connection of the lagoon with the sea due to the continued rise of the White Sea coast (4 mm per year in this area) will contribute to a decrease in the species diversity and the predominance of few small eurytopic invertebrate species resistant to organic load, oxygen deficiency, and desalination.

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 18, no. 18 (September 16, 2021): 9750. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph18189750.
Full textAbstract:
Maresme is a littoral region of Barcelona (Spain) in which the railway and an important road run along the coastline with a high landscape impact. Over time, several facilities connected to these transport infrastructures have appeared, such as industries, malls, marinas or train stations. These activities profit from the easy connection but create a barrier between the inhabitants and the sea. This research follows three aspects identified in a large variety of locations along the Mediterranean coast: longitudinal mobility, transversal accessibility and landscape discontinuities. The first territorial analysis defines a series of urban problematics classified by category. Then, the most representative case studies are developed by means of urban and architectural projects. The comparative analysis of these proposals provides a catalogue of design strategies which can be combined as criteria for solving multiple conflicts detected in the region. The result of this project is a methodology based on a matrix of general guidelines to ease the solving of local conflicts in a homogeneous way for the whole territory. The final aim is to re-establish order and continuity in the Mediterranean littoral skyline, fostering sustainable mobility and recovering public space for inhabitants.

"Ichthyofaunal assemblages in shallow littoral habitats of permanently open estuaries and intermittently closed and open lakes or lagoons in Otago, New Zealand." Marine and Freshwater Research 69, no. 8 (2018): 1222. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/mf17334.
Full textAbstract:
Fish assemblages of New Zealand estuaries are poorly studied, and knowledge of the effects of estuary–ocean connections on the ichthyofaunal composition of estuaries remains limited. Understanding the status of fish composition of estuaries is crucial for planning for sustainable management of aquatic ecosystems. In the present study we sampled fish using a seine net from lower reaches of six permanently open estuaries and six intermittently closed and open lakes or lagoons (ICOLLs) along the Otago coastline during winter 2016 and summer 2017. Marked differences in ichthyofaunal composition were observed in the shallow littoral habitats of permanently open estuaries and ICOLLs. Fish assemblages reflected estuary–ocean connection status of estuaries during both seasons. ICOLLs showed greater fish abundance than permanently open systems. Fish abundance was higher in summer than in winter in both estuary types. Fish species with marine–estuarine opportunist and estuarine–migrant life histories dominated permanently open estuaries. Conversely, species with a diadromous life history but known to form landlocked populations were abundant in ICOLLs. Salinity and temperature were correlated with fish abundance in both estuary types.

Full textAbstract:
The transport of sediment by flowing water commands great interest in connection with the control of floods, land reclamation, and the construction of harbours and coast protection works. A distinction can be drawn between littoral drift in rivers and in the sea.
The sediment transportation in rivers has been investigated by several authors, e.g. Shields, Meyer Peter, Kalinske, and Einstein, see (16) pp„ 769-83*+. Einstein's latest theories have given reliable results in practice (9).
As pointed out by Einstein (7), there cannot be much difference, physically, between transportation of sediment in rivers and longshore drift at sea shores, apart from the littoral zone with its extremely complex conditions.
In the attempt to understand the complex problem of sea shores the practice so far has been to split them up into several reaches and investigate them separately. This work has given a number of results of practical interest in connection with littoral drift and coastal protection technology, see (2), (3), (5)» (6), (11), (13), and (16).
According to Einstein, Johnson and Chien (8) there exist two types of sediment load, one that bears a certain relationship with the discharge (bed-material load), and the other which does not (wash load). The result of flume study indicates that the transport rate of wash load, just as that of the bed-material load, can be calculated according to the Einstein bed-load function (9), if the instantaneous bed composition is known. On the other hand, the bedmaterial load is equally available'in the entire bed, but only the surface bed layer contains any significant amount of wash-load material. Any change of flow or of sediment supply may immediately change the composition of the wash-load material in the bed. The bed composition as determined from the instantaneous condition of the channel has no lasting significance so far as the wash load is concerned, and this makes the prediction of the wash-load rate from.the bed-load function impossible.
The following deals with a mode of bed-load transportation which, as far as can be seen, takes place in large "waves" or humps.
Introductorily are mentioned investigations made in the United States on migrating sand bars and sand waves in rivers, and investigations in Holland on migrating sand bars on the bottom of the sea.
The major part of the paper deal with migrating sand humps along the North Sea coast of the peninsula of Jutland, Denmark, see Fig. 3.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper explores the economic dynamics of the Gulf of Kachh littoral in the eighteenth century. First, the region's production and trade potential is foregrounded by examining the scale and scope of its major products—cotton and textiles—and by tracking the inland and overseas commercial networks. The politico-economic crisis in Gujarat and the ensuing relocation of merchants and manufacturers combined with the rise of the Omani commercial empire served as the context for the mid-century expansion in the commerce of the Gulf of Kachh. Second, the development of the Dutch commercial interaction with this region will be analyzed from the perspective of the Dutch East India Company's trade at Surat in connection with the growing English influence in the Arabian Sea. Cette contribution explore deux principaux aspects de la vitalité économique du littoral du Golfe de Cutch au dix-huitième siècle. Premièrement, le potentiel de production et de commerce de la région est souligné en examinant l'importance et l'éventail des produits principaux échangés, notamment des cotons et des tissus, et en suivant les réseaux d'échanges terrestres et maritimes La crise socio-économique qui frappe le Gujarat au début de ce siècle et le déplacement des marchands et manufacturiers qui en découle, mais également la montée de la puissance commerciale omanaise, permettent en effet l'essor commercial du Golfe de Cutch au milieu du siècle. Deuxièmement, le développement de l'interaction commerciale entre cette région et la Compagnie néerlandaise des Indes orientales est relevé. La présence de cette compagnie au Golfe est mise en perspective avec ses activités à Surat et l'influence anglaise grandissante en mer d'Arabie.

Includes supplementary material.Sea TENTACLE is a proposed afloat platform whose primary mission is to utilize the state-of-the-art technology of unmanned vehicles to monitor and neutralize all subsurface enemy threats in the littorals. This mission can be specified further as anti-submarine warfare, mine warfare and maritime surveillance. The design philosophy of Sea TENTACLE embodies the ideal of providing a multi-mission capable sea frame extending network-centric warfare into the littorals. The design goals of the TSSE team were first to develop a platform to deploy, recover, and maintain unmanned vehicle (e.g. UUVs, USVs, UAVs) and second to enableto ship to act as an afloat network operations center for distributed assets. Allowing all units to work together seamlessly to conduct focused missions in the littorals makes the Sea TENTACLE a creitical component within the network-centric environment. The versatility of its cargo hold and modular design allows Sea TENTACLE to be outfitted dynamically to complete a veriety of secondary missions including humanitarian aid, salvage and spacial operations support. Sea TENTACLE's combat management and operations system will employ the Enterprise architecture design enabling C4ISR capabilities that will meet emerging network centric warfare needs.

Full textAbstract:
Chenopod taxa are globally prominent in deserts and on coastlines which suggests an evolutionary link, known as a littoral connection, and that remains unexplained. Australia is a global centre of chenopod diversity, where serial invasions of eleven immigrant clades over the last 16 million years, produced ca. 300 species within the continent. Six of these clades adaptively radiated in the Late Miocene-Pliocene within the continental interior. Assuming a littoral connection as a working premise, Australian landscape history can inform the course of chenopod evolution. Almost all species are endemic and each clade must exhibit the three elements of the connection. Coasts and deserts share related taxa, marshy, sandy or saline habitats and adaptive traits for habitat occupation. Phytogeographic analysis defines three groups of Australian chenopods. A Subcontinental Arid-Mediterranean Group has 97% of all species with Centres of Diversity in the west (Yilgarn) and east (Eyre-Murray). Sharing 129 species, the centres are strongly linked through the Great Victoria Desert, suggesting a common migration route. The chenopod poor Northern Tropical and Eastern Highlands groups suggest the barriers to range expansions. Diversification largely occurred inland, with 246 species being remote from coastlines. Only the Scleroblitum Clade lacks coastal taxa, but it has an estuarine ancestor. Under the habitat element of a littoral connection, migration landscapes should be marshy, sandy or saline. Chenopod taxa mainly inhabit Riverine Desert (141 species) and Desert Lake (113 species) within continental drainage systems. Most coastal species are of diverse coastal habitats, with a capacity for inland range expansion through marshy ecosystems. Riverine Desert developed as chenopod clades arrived, connecting coastlines to both Centres of Diversity. Youth and discontinuity of Desert Lake precludes initial continental migration but promoted Pleistocene speciation. Sand Desert has relatively few species; a Pleistocene age postdates inland range expansion and its formation contributed to species population disjunction in rich clades. Molecular phylogeny of Australian Atriplex Clade 1 reveals west to east migrations in two lineages after immigrant landfall on the west coast. One lineage migrated through inland Australia, initially diversifying in Stony Desert. The other lineage is limited to the southern coast and Western Australian catchments. Poor phylogenetic resolution in Atriplex Clade 2 precluded further interpretation, but initial diversification post-dates that of Atriplex Clade 1. Coastal species possibly have basal phylogenetic positions in both clades. These findings suggest evolutionary stages of Australian chenopods involve: coastal landfall, initial inland migration through declining palaeodrainage systems and diversification in drying landscapes, along two possible biogeographic patterns. Either an initial, widespread inland migration fragmented into the Yilgarn and Eyre-Murray Centres, or separate, incipient Centres subsequently enlarged and exchanged species. Species extinction may be associated with dune field formation and loss of ancestral coastal taxa. Riverine Desert provided the species pool for significant speciation in Desert Lake and Stony Desert land types. Each immigrant clade observes the taxon, habitat and trait elements of a littoral connection, which remains the most likely evolutionary scenario for these iconic Australian arid taxa.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Biological Sciences, 2020

Full textAbstract:
The making of the modern world was a result of the fall of empires and the emergence of nation-states. This is particularly true across the frontiers of the Ottoman Empire, a region connecting the Balkans to the Black Sea littoral, and the Middle East to the Caucasus. In approaching this poly-ethnic, multi-religious and trans-imperial hub of turmoil, the existing historiographies have either trivialized or idealized the role of rebels, revolutionaries and racketeers. Although revisionist scholarship has critically analysed political violence, imperialism and nation-state building, there is still a need to develop a comparative understanding of political actors that shaped the moments of political transition in these frontiers of empires. We accordingly propose a new genre of comparative and connected histories of rebels, revolutionaries and racketeers during what we call an “Age of Rogues.”

AbstractThe chapter examines the status of international canals and straits connecting Two Parts of the High Seas under the Law of the Sea. Strait is a natural phenomenon, while a canal is artificial. At the same time, having a similar role and designation—a passage between seas—one could assume that their legal status, as far as freedom of navigation is concerned, would be the same. Straits have been extensively and comprehensively dealt with over the years by littoral nations, and today there is a complete and innovative chapter on this subject in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. However, the Convention is silent on canals. In the first part of the chapter, the terms “strait” and “canal” will be defined with an emphasis on the Suez Canal with regard to the right to freedom of navigation. The second part will describe the development of the right to freedom of navigation in the Suez Canal and the straits. One can see that while with straits there has been, over the years, a process of development with regard to navigation rights in the Law of the Sea, this is not the case with regard to canals subject to specific conventions, and specifically, the Suez Canal. The third part of the chapter will be devoted to a discussion leading to some conclusions on the differences between the two passages, which will assess whether these differences have future significance in the particular context of the Suez Canal.

This chapter is not merely a summary or recapitulation of the vast archaeological data that has been utilized to reconstruct the settlement dynamics of coastal Bengal. Rather, it raises various relevant issues that are connected with the mentioned reconstruction and, above all, discusses the unresolved questions pertaining to various aspects of coastal life including culture, religion, and the trading and maritime network. While reconstructing the mechanism of contact between the hinterland and the littoral an attempt has been made by the author to explore the possibility of at least three ‘contact zones’ that were crucial in formulating not only a cultural whole but also the monitoring agencies behind this reciprocation. The involvement of religious ideologies particularly Buddhism also received special attention towards the involvement of the major and minor centres connecting the development of the Ganga valley, the Chittagong and Myanmar coast and that of the rest of Southeast Asia and obviously the participation of Buddhist establishments in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. The Epilogue concludes by tracing a long chrono-cultural sequence of coastal Bengal from the BRW-associated early village farming cultural phases to the 12th–13th centuries CE. The imagery of a greater cultural orbit has been adhered to in this concluding chapter.

Full textAbstract:
The identification of a cultural grouping termed ‘Swahili’ has long rested on the ability to discern a commonality of material and social environment across an enormous region, aspects of which have been discussed in previous chapters. Clearly, the coast and offshore islands of eastern Africa have been interconnected to a significant degree throughout the precolonial period, in a similar way to that noted in colonial histories. One of the key data sources for that ongoing interaction is the record of historical linguistics, which has traced a spread of Swahili languages from a north-eastern homeland southwards along the coast and to the Comoro archipelago. This has not only offered a crucial challenge to models of external origins, but also serves as a guide to the ongoing interactions that have made dialects of Swahili mutually intelligible more than 1,000 years since their original divergence. This mobility and entanglement are also invoked as causation for the ‘community of material culture that remained relatively constant over 3,000 kilometres of archipelagic civilization’ (Prestholdt 1998: 8). Certainly for the historical period, sources suggest that cultural cohesiveness was maintained through regular coasting travel along the littoral (Sheriff 2010). This seems likely also to have been the case in the deeper past, which resulted in similarities along the coastline over the longer term. Horton and Middleton (2000: 5) discuss this in enduring terms: ‘[the Swahili] have comprised a single social and cultural entity, Swahili society, with its own unique civilization of which they are deeply proud and possessive.’ These patterns of commonality have to some extent been the subject of this entire volume, but this chapter specifically explores the route by which communities of material culture were produced and maintained. Clearly this is more than simply a case of proximity or contact. Through attention to the shifting geography of coastal connections over time, it also becomes clear that the situation encountered by the Portuguese and later Europeans on the coast, while indicative, was not necessarily representative of the coast through time.

Определены концентрации ртути в талломах массовых видов водорослей-биоиндикаторов родов Ulva lactuca, Ulvaria splendens, Sargassum miyabei, Sargassum pallidum, из прибрежных вод вокруг г. Владивостока Японского моря за летний период 2020 г. Содержание Hg варьируется от 5,8 до 41,4 нг/г сухой массы. Наибольшая концентрация наблюдается в ульве, отобранной из района бывшего полигона ТБО «Горностай», где ранее отмечались повышенные концентрации Cu, Pb, Fe, Zn. Отмечена тенденция уменьшения концентраций ртути в водорослях с июня по июль, как для ульвы, так и для саргассума. Водоросли вокруг Владивостока содержат очень низкие концентрации ртути и не превышают ПДК промысловых водорослей – 500 нг/г сухой массы. Полученные концентрации соответствуют величине Q1 – 25 процентилю общемировой выборки для зеленых и в основном Q1 для бурых, что говорит об отсутствии загрязнения ртутью литоральной зоны вокруг г. Владивосток в исследуемый период. The concentrations of mercury in mass species of algae - bioindicators of the genera Ulva lactuca, Ulvaria splendens, Sargassum miyabei, Sargassum pallidum, from coastal waters around Vladivostok, the Sea of Japan in summer of 2020 were determined. The Hg concentrations varies from 5.8 to 41.4 ng / g dry weight. The highest concentration is observed in the Ulva, taken from the area of the former landfill "Gornostay", where previously there were increased concentrations of Cu, Pb, Fe, Zn in algae. A tendency of a decrease in mercury concentrations in algae from June to July was noted for both Ulva and Sargassum in connection of atmosphera precipitations decreasing. Algae around Vladivostok contained very low concentrations of mercury and did not exceed the MPC for commercial algae - 500 ng / g dry weight. The obtained concentrations correspond to the value of Q1 - the 25th percentile of the global sample for green algae and mainly Q1 for brown ones, which indicates the absence of mercury contamination of the littoral zone around Vladivostok during the study period.
