At the same time, our findings suggest that climate change research further strengthens arguments to pursue sustainability and deal with coastal development and catchment land-use.
(Recreational fishing representative, April 2011) In terms of environmental governance, participants identified coastal development and catchment land-use practices as the primary threats to reef resilience and both ecological and social adaptive capacity.
The type and number of variables associated with bacteria depended on the degree of catchment development and the inherent complexity of bacteria sources.
Correlations between all variables were low, with the highest between shoreline development and development in the catchment (r = 0.68).
Developments in areas of landscape and catchment modeling, extraterrestrial geomorphology, and biogeomorphology illustrate the integrative and scale-transgressive character of geomorphology.
Many of these lagoons are undergoing development and urbanisation of their catchments, leading to concern about their ecological health.
"This makes it impossible to capture a school's contribution to pupils' wider education or to their social and personal development and fails to reflect the character, ethos and catchment area of a school".
The latest advice from the Great Barrier Reef marine park authority is that the reef remains under pressure from climate change, declining water quality from catchment runoff, coastal development and some fishing impacts.
For example, values for shoreline armoring and port facilities were summarized at the estuary unit, while values for agriculture, development and dams, were aggregated at the catchment unit.
This paper provides a case study to demonstrate the interaction between land use, soil erosion, floodplain development, and land use changes in a 0-order catchment in the Babikovce catchment, Myjava Hill Land, situated in western Slovakia.
Elevated levels of primary production brought about by the input of excess plant nutrients, principally phosphates and nitrates, into inland waters following agricultural and urban development of catchments (known as eutrophication), can also be harmful.
