This study investigates cost-effective solutions of decreasing the nutrient load to a coastal area, using a drainage basin approach. The study is applied to the Stockholm Archipelago, a coastal area of the Baltic Sea suffering from eutrophication caused by the load of nutrients entering the area. Nitrogen is the nutrient of concern in this study since it is the limiting nutrient of the Archipelago. The main sources of nitrogen are wastewater plants, agriculture, and atmospheric depositions. The final impact of a deposition depends on the buffering capabilities it is subject to on its trajectory from the source to the recipient. This is the reason for using a recipient oriented approach, in which the focus is to reduce the final impact of a deposition. The model integrates data over hydrology, land cover, land use, and economy in order to find the optimal allocation of measures. Results indicate that in order to achieve cost effectiveness, the major part of nitrogen load reduction to the Archipelago should be done at the wastewater plants and by constructing wetlands. The minimum annual cost of reaching a 50% reduction of the load to the Archipelago was estimated to around 191 million Swedish crowns (around $ 19 million).

Os ambientes costeiros são extremamente dinâmicos, neles convergem processos terrestres, oceânicos e atmosféricos, que alteram constantemente suas características. Um dos principais desafios da geologia, oceanografia e engenharia costeiras e compreender como e porque estas mudanças ocorrem. Por outro lado à ocupação das zonas costeiras é complexa, diversificada e gera numerosos conflitos. Apesar das diversas iniciativas para diminuir estes conflitos ainda é necessário percorrer um longo caminho para resolver os problemas. Ainda faltam definições importantes tais como: Que litoral nos queremos? Qual é o litoral ideal e qual é possível de ser construído? Como gerir a zona litorânea? Ainda precisamos entender melhor como funciona o litoral do ponto de vista geológico e oceanográfico; mas, sobretudo, devemos entender as inter-relações com as dinâmicas biológicas, econômicas e sociais, políticas, legais e institucionais. Physical aspects of coastal environments’ dynamics: uses and conflicts Abstract Coastal environments are extremely dynamic. They are the meeting point of land, ocean, and atmospheric processes that are constantly changing their features. One of the main challenges posed to geology, oceanography, and coastal engineering is the understanding of how and why these changes occur. Conversely, the occupation of coastal zones is complex, diversified, and leads to many conflicts. Despite the numerous attempts at reducing these conflicts, we are still a long way from solving these problems. Important definitions are still missing: What kind of coast do we want? What is the ideal coastal area like and what can be built on it? How do we manage coastal areas? We still need to understand better how the coastline works geologically and oceanographically. But above all else, we need to understand its interrelationships with biologic, economic, social, political, legal, and institutional dynamics.

This study investigates the relationship between sediment contamination and hydrodynamic conditions in the Gaeta Gulf (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy), an anthropogenically impacted and sheltered coastal area. The pollution levels, potential toxicity, and ecological risk of trace metals were analysed in 16 sediment sampling sites using Sediment Quality Guidelines (SQGs), the Adverse Effect Index (AEI), and the Mean ERM Quotient (m-ERM-Q). The bottom shear stress of the study area, evaluated using an annual simulation of a 3D numerical model, was used to calculate a new Sediment Mobilisation Index (SMI) that detects the coastal zones where a low probability of sediment resuspension occurs. As, Ni, and Cu concentrations exceeded the Threshold Effects Level (TEL) guideline value and  AEI limit in several sampling sites, indicating their ability to produce adverse effects on biota. Moreover m-ERM-Q showed the highest values of potential ecological risk in most of the sampling sites located in the inner part of the Gulf of Gaeta. In this area, the highest SMI values were also identified, demonstrating that there is a tight relationship between the two indexes (R2 = 0.8214). The application of SMI in sheltered areas will help achieve high performance of monitoring and hazard assessment tools through obtaining predictable responses on hotspot identification.

The Red river delta coastal area (Vietnam) and Yangtze river delta coastal area (China) not only play an important role in developmental process of each country but also show typical characteristics of hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics of estuaries and delta coastal areas. Based on previous studied results of hydro-sediment dynamics in two delta coastal zones that were published, this paper gives a comparison of hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics of the coastal zones of Red river and Yangtze river. The results showed that there are some similar features of these two regions such as riverine hydrology, decreased fluvial sediment flux due to the dam, grain size of suspended sediment, alongshore sediment and morphological change. Besides, these two regions also have some distinct characteristics such as tidal regime and residual field currents.

Abstract The marine coastal area is facing serious challenges due to several artificial pollution sources. An investigative biomonitoring survey was conducted along the coastal area of Laizhou Bay, China, which combined an evaluation of organic pollution and biomarker responses in the clam Ruditapes philippinarum. Meanwhile, the contents of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) and nonylphenol (NP) in surface sediments at the biomonitoring sites were measured. The results indicated that a complex mixture by these toxic organic pollutants was prevalent throughout the entire area. Concentrations (mean ± standard error) of PCBs, TPHs and NP in sediments of the study area were 1.90 ± 0.10 µg kg-1, 39.55 ± 2.42 mg kg-1, 9.23 ± 0.41 µg kg-1 dry weight, respectively. Biomarker responses of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), Glutathione S-transferase (GST), total glutathione (GSHt) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels were assayed in the gills and digestive glands of R. philippinarum collected from eleven sites. Finally, biomarker responses obtained in gills were selected to calculate the integrated biomarker response (IBR) index and to assess the impact of integrated organic contaminants from different stations. The site S2 exhibited an IBR value of 2.65 and was considered as the place with the greatest stress in coastal environment. The western coast (S1-S4) and eastern coast (S9-S11) exhibited higher environmental stress than the sampling sites along the southern coast of Laizhou Bay. PCBs and NP were the main organic pollutants which have caused high level of pollution pressure on R. philippinarum in Laizhou Bay coastal area. The integrated assessment approach of organic contamination which combined chemical analysis and multi-biomarker responses was proved to be practical and useful in coastal environment assessment programs.
