1) Agriculture is responsible for 44% of global methane emissions and 81% of nitrous oxide emissions according to estimates.
2) The natural response of land to human-induced environmental change is estimated to be -11.2 ± 2.6 GtCO2e per year, partially offsetting net anthropogenic emissions.
3) Agriculture, forestry, and other land use activities account for 23% of total net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions according to estimates, releasing 12 GtCO2e per year.
The document discusses a workshop focused on demonstrating the role of ecosystems-based management for disaster risk reduction. It provides an overview of 14 case studies examining how ecosystem services and approaches can aid in long-term planning and prevention. The key points are that ecosystems matter for disaster risk reduction by reducing both physical and socio-economic vulnerability. The ecosystem approach to disaster risk reduction follows 5 steps from coordination to integrated policies. Principles for the approach emphasize building on existing ecosystem management strategies and linking with sustainable development.

Editorial – July 2010
Greetings all,
This month’s newsletter is devoted to recent studies in coastal oceanic systems.
To start with, Le Traon is introducing this newsletter telling us about the SNOCO initiative.
Scientific articles about recent studies in coastal oceanic systems are then displayed as follows: First, Ménesguen et al. are telling
us about Ulva mass accumulations on Brittany beaches and remedies found to solve this problem. Then, Ardhuin presents his
work about wave hindcasting and forecasting at Previmer within the European project “Integrated Ocean waves for Geophysical
and other Applications”. Third, Faucher et al. provide a description of a coupled Atmosphere-Ocean-Ice forecast system for the
Gulf of St Lawrence in Canada, which has been installed in experimental mode at the Canadian Meteorological Centre. Finally,
Marchesiello et al. are talking about regional ocean forecasting and downscaling strategy at IRD for coastal and submesoscale
phenomena. They have developed a downscaling strategy based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System and produced a new
demonstrator with data assimilation in the Chile oceanic area.
The next October 2010 newsletter will display papers about the Marginal Seas in the MyOcean project.
We wish you a pleasant summer!

The document discusses the value of the global ocean economy at over $1 trillion annually and 500 million jobs, but that poor management is putting these goods and services at risk and costing societies hundreds of billions of dollars per year. It analyzes proven strategic planning methodologies and policy instruments that could help reverse issues like overfishing, coastal hypoxia, invasive species, and generate hundreds of billions in additional investment if scaled up globally. Modest public investments of around $5 billion could catalyze transforming markets to sustain the ocean's economic contributions indefinitely.
Climate change preparedness and engagement in southwest florida 10 21-19David Silverberg
This document summarizes a presentation on climate change preparedness and community engagement given to the Collier County Democratic Club. It discusses concerns about sea level rise, increased storminess, and heavy precipitation in coastal Southwest Florida. Projections show rising sea levels could lead to inundation, coastal erosion, and more frequent nuisance flooding. Warmer ocean temperatures are also leading to more intense hurricanes that are larger and move more slowly. The presentation outlines efforts in Collier County to understand vulnerability and plan for adaptation through projects with NOAA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Regional collaboration between counties is also discussed as important for climate resilience planning.
RESULTS OF A WORKING GROUP OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION CONSISTING OF REPRESEN...Cláudio Carneiro
This document discusses the challenges of managing estuaries and coastal zones, which are ecologically important habitats but also locations for expanding port activities. It established a working group to provide guidance on applying nature directives like the Habitats and Birds Directives to port development projects. The group aimed to enhance information sharing on managing ports and Natura 2000 network sites, and provide general guidance on applying nature laws in estuaries and coastal areas used for ports. The document outlines the ecological value and economic importance of these areas, as well as the increasing demands for shipping capacity. It notes the potential conflicts between protecting habitats under EU environmental laws while also seeking to expand port infrastructure under transport and economic policies.
The document discusses protecting Natura2000 sites in the North Sea through fisheries measures. It notes that certain areas like the Dogger Bank and Cleaver Bank qualify for protection based on scientific criteria. An ongoing FIMPAS project is gathering data to inform a conflict analysis between conservation objectives and fisheries techniques in order to identify appropriate management options and measures for these protected sites by 2012. The measures will aim to achieve conservation goals while allowing sustainable fisheries.

Coastal and Marine Environment Protection
International Roundtable on Protection and Sustainable Use of Trans-boundary Waters in South East Europe, 15-16 December 2011, Zagreb, Croatia
This document discusses the transition from ecological restoration to an ecosystem services approach for managing urban dunes in Barcelona, Spain. It summarizes that from 1990-2004, natural sand transport processes were disrupted, destabilizing the dunes. The administration then sought to construct and maintain dunes to protect the coast from storms while supporting biodiversity and economic activity. The key difference with ecosystem services is its explicit use as a management tool, using data on physical processes, socio-cultural factors, governance, and adaptive management of sand and ecosystems. Relocating a small amount of sand and using natural dune building proved more effective than conventional expensive methods.
1) The Meuse river basin covers 34,500 km2 across 5 countries and is prone to flooding, with major floods occurring in 1993, 1995, and more recently.
2) The EU Flood Risk Management Directive requires cross-border cooperation in flood risk assessment, mapping, and management planning. Projects like FLOOD-WISE aimed to facilitate this.
3) Flood risk management in Limburg, Netherlands focuses on prevention through spatial planning, protection via dike improvements and river widening projects, and preparedness through flood forecasting and evacuation planning.
The document summarizes the key components and requirements for developing a River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) according to the European Union's Water Framework Directive. It outlines 17 sections that must be included in an RBMP, such as characterizing the river basin, identifying pressures and impacts, setting environmental objectives, implementing measures, and monitoring programs. The document provides guidance on the mapping, data, and analysis required for each section to comprehensively manage water resources at the river basin scale.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
