The existence of marine debris can be a threat to marine ecosystems. Several studies have shown that marine debris can cause death of marine organisms and a degradation of ecosystems. The West Bali National Park (TNBB) is a conservation area in Bali that is also susceptible to be affected by marine debris pollution, due to its high population and anthropogenic activity in the area. Bali generates about 4.281 tons of waste per day, where 11% of it ends up in the ocean. Therefore, research about marine debris in TNBB is important. The purpose of this research is to find out the characteristics and distribution of stranded marine debris in the TNBB coastal area. This research was conducted in February 2020 at 23 stations by the shoreline. Marine debris data collection was carried out by adapting the method developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) Global Plastic Pollution Project. Marine debris exists along the coastline with the concentration range between 0.05 – 28.47 items/m2 with the average of 4.29 items/m2. As much as 92.3% of waste were plastic, dominated by three major debris classes, including soft plastic (44.8%), foam (30.8%), and hard plastic (12.4%). Marine debris in the area has various sizes and shapes. As much as 57.9% of debris at TNBB were whole items and the rest of it were fragment items. Marine debris size at TNBB tend to have a big relative size, i.e. between 8-16 cm (32%). Generally, marine debris at TNBB were mostly daily consumer items. Therefore, public awareness play an important role to decrease the amount of marine debris on the TNBB coastal area.

A post-tsunami survey was conducted along the Myanmar coast two months after the 2004 Great Sumatra earthquake ( Mw=9.0) that occurred off the west coast of Sumatra and generated a devastating tsunami around the Indian Ocean. Visual observations, measurements, and a survey of local people's experiences with the tsunami indicated some reasons why less damage and fewer casualties occurred in Myanmar than in other countries around the Indian Ocean. The tide level at the measured sites was calibrated with reference to a real-time tsunami datum, and the tsunami tide level range was 2–3 m for 22 localities in Myanmar. The tsunami arrived three to four hours after the earthquake.

Precipitation Events

The island of Corsica in the western Mediterranean is characterized by a pronounced topography in which local breeze systems develop in the diurnal cycle. In interaction with the large-scale synoptic situation, various precipitation events occur, which are classified in this study with regard to their duration and intensity. For this purpose, the island was grouped into five precipitation regimes using a cluster analysis, namely the western coastal area, the central mountainous region, the southern coastal area, the northeast coastal area, and the eastern coastal area. Based on principal component analysis using mean sea level pressure (mslp) obtained from ERA5 reanalysis (the fifth generation of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, ECMWF), six spatial patterns were identified which explain 98% of the large-scale synoptic situation, while the diurnal breeze systems within the regimes characterize local drivers. It is shown that on radiation days with weak large-scale pressure gradients, pronounced local circulations in mountainous regions are coupled with sea breezes, leading to a higher number of short and intense precipitation events. Meridional circulation patterns lead to more intensive precipitation events on the eastern part of the island (30% intensive events with meridional patterns on the east side compared to 11% on the west side). On the west side of Corsica, however, coastal precipitation events are seldom and less intense than further inland, which can be attributed to the influence of the topography in frontal passages.

Education Concept

Litter becomes one serious threat for the coastal area in Indonesia. Those litters are derived from various anthropogenic activities and various land uses. Indonesia is declared as the biggest second country after China in contributing marine debris in 2015. But marine debris in Indonesia, not all derived from the domestic product. In the coastal area of Aceh province, there are marine debris which derived from foreign countries. One right way to overcome the pollution in the coastal area is by incorporating Marine education into the educational curriculum. In anticipating the effect of destruction in the marine environment, Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fishery has launched a coastal education model namely Indonesian Coastal Education. The aim of this study is (1) to identify the types of pollution in the coastal area, (2) to arrange the steps of observation, and (3) to arrange the action plan of Indonesian Coastal Education (ICE) in overcoming pollution in the coastal area. This study uses literature study by searching the reference of theories which are relevant to the case or problem of litter/waste pollution in the coastal area. By applying 4A learning method in ICE, students can directly understand the problem occurs in their area, particularly related to litter pollution in the beach. The concept of the study is, students of ICE are expected to be able to arrange an action plan based on the result of observation and analysis.

Erosion And Accretion

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Kien Giang is one of the coastal provinces in the Mekong Delta which is facing the problem of coastal erosion to affect people’s life in the coastal area. This project aims to monitor shoreline and to assess landslide and accretion situation in the period from 1975 to 2015 in the coastal area of Kien Giang province. The study applied Normalized Difference Water Index (MNWI) method and water level extraction using LANDSAT imagery from 1975 to 2015 for highlight the shoreline. Thus, analysis was identified erosion and accretion areas based on shoreline changes and land use influenced by landslides and deposition. The results show to create shoreline changes from 1997 to 2015 in the coastal area of Kien Giang province. A landslide occurred in the west from Nguyen Viet Khai commune to Thuan Hoa commune and Nam Yen commune to Vinh Hoa Hiep commune, Rach Gia city, Kien Giang province. An accretion situation was determined in the areas from Thuan Hoa commune, An Minh district to Nam Thai commune, An Bien district, Kien Giang province, Rach Gia sea encroachment at Rach Gia town and Ha Tien encroachment area at Ha Tien town, Kien Giang province. In general, the coastal area of Kien Giang province has a predominant tendency of accretion, however, the occurrence of erosion and accretion are happened interlacing in the coastal area at Kien Giang province.</p>
