Ocean Monitoring

Determining the distributions and variations of chemical elements in oceans has significant meanings for understanding the biogeochemical cycles, evaluating seawater pollution, and forecasting the occurrence of marine disasters. The primary chemical parameters of ocean monitoring include nutrients, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and heavy metals. At present, ocean monitoring mainly relies on laboratory analysis, which is hindered in applications due to its large size, high power consumption, and low representative and time-sensitive detection results. By integrating photonics and microfluidics into one chip, optofluidics brings new opportunities to develop portable microsystems for ocean monitoring. Optofluidic platforms have advantages in respect of size, cost, timeliness, and parallel processing of samples compared with traditional instruments. This review describes the applications of optofluidic platforms on autonomous and in situ ocean environmental monitoring, with an emphasis on their principles, sensing properties, advantages, and disadvantages. Predictably, autonomous and in situ systems based on optofluidic platforms will have important applications in ocean environmental monitoring.

Marine Disasters

The risk of marine disasters based on flooding is one of the most significant natural disasters in coastal zones. It can be said that flooding in coastal zones has typical sea–land characteristics. Yet, relatively little research has been done in this area. Thus, by using the characteristics of marine disaster risk based on flooding in Qingdao and combining marine science and land science methods, this paper constructs a targeted indicator system for the flooding risk from marine disasters from the perspectives of the disaster natural chain and flooding process. According to the results, the Integrated Risk Index of marine disasters based on flooding in Qingdao is 0.3694, which represents a medium risk level for natural disasters in China’s major coastal areas. The first- and third-level indicators with large contribution rates are almost all natural indicators. This indicates that the natural disaster process and disaster chain greatly affect the flooding disaster risk in Qingdao. However, although natural factors play large roles in the risk of disaster, preventive methods implemented by humans can still have a positive effect on disaster reduction. Therefore, human society should still proceed with understanding disasters from natural processes, change their passive response to active adaptation, and actively strengthen preventive measures to alleviate the adverse impacts of increasingly serious natural disasters.

ABSTRACT Development of an effective oil spill control system in Japan was spurred by two marine disasters in 1974 which brought about an organizational and physical reinforcement of the nation's capability to respond to oil spills. This paper describes today's legal structure for oil spill control, the organizational concepts used at various levels to provide joint efforts by government agencies and industry, the role of the Marine Disaster Prevention Center which serves as the nucleus of the necessary control operations, and research and development highlights of ongoing Japanese efforts to prevent, control, and clean up oil spills.

Geographically, the Sulawesi Island is located on 5.36LU-7.48S and 117.02-125.74E. It is one of the safest islands due to its location that is not directly related to two oceans, namely the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Sulawesi is divided into six provinces and has several small islands. This makes it one of the islands with the longest coastline in Indonesia. However, this is what causes Sulawesi Island to be susceptible to marine disasters, such as high waves and tsunamis triggered by submarine earthquakes whose distribution can be seen in figure 3. In this study, we tried to examine how the society established cooperative relationships with various social elements that existed, a few days after the disaster occurred. In addition, data collection was conducted through interviews, focus group discussions (FGD) along with scientific findings or research that had previously been conducted so that the results of the research became more accurate and systematic. This article was the initial findings so that it only presented data from sources in a homogeneous manner.

Oil Exposure

AbstractOil spills threaten the structure and function of ecological communities. In the northern Gulf of Mexico, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill was among the largest marine disasters in history. While many predicted catastrophic consequences for nearshore fishes, field studies indicate surprising resilience in populations and communities. One potential mechanism for this resilience is the recognition and behavioral avoidance at small spatial scales of the toxic chemical constituents found in oil. Previous research indicates many marsh fishes have the capacity to avoid oil contaminated areas. Here, we test whether prior oil exposure of a common marsh fish, the Gulf killifish Fundulus grandis, alters this avoidance response. Using choice tests between unoiled and a range of oiled sediments, we found that, even at low levels of previous exposure, killifish lose recognition of oiled sediments. Preference for unoiled sediments was lost across the entire range of oil concentrations tested here after oil exposure, and some evidence for preference of oiled sediments was even demonstrated. These results provide evidence for lack of response to toxic environments in exposed individuals, suggesting sublethal impairment of sensory mechanisms on an individual level despite organism survival. Future research should highlight additional sublethal consequences that affect ecosystem and food web functioning.
