- Coping with pressure
- Stakeholders- individuals, groups or organisatations that have an interest in the development or outcomes in a particular project- they may be involved financially or emoctionally.
- Changes in function or size of parks+resorts can cause conflicts
- Regeneration of old industrial areas into high class residential developments
- Gentrification
- Loss of industries e,g. fishing
- Inappropriate tourist/leisure development in environmental sensitive areas
- Pollution from increased failure of infastructure
- Loss of traditional ways of life and facilities
- Traffic congestion- new hotels developed
- Coastal zoning- accommodate different users
- Conflict matrix: give a few examples, talk about who is least/most compatible USE CASE STUDIES
- Coral reefs: in shallow tropical marine waters. They protect low-lying coasts, rich in fish stocks, tourism appeal + biodiversity. Sensitive to change in water temp and quality, acidification, over fishing etc.
- Mangroves: trees+shrubs that grow in saline coastal areas in sub/tropics. Nurseries for fish + crustaceans. Mangrove roots trap silt to create new land. Protection from storm surges in low lying coastal areas. Being cleared for timber, then tourist sites
- Salt marshes: low boggy coasts. Have been reclaimed for farmland. Provide habitats for plants and birds. The meandering creeks lower tide energy. Risk from: reclamation- due to idea of wasted space, pollution- from water, agricultural pollution- eutrification, pressure from developments e.g. marinas
- Land reclamation: process which land can be substantially improved or made available for some use e.g. treatment of derelict land
- FIELDWORK AND RESEARCH. Beach pollution comes from 2 sources- left by beach visitors or deposited by high tides or dropped by passing boats.
- Fieldwork project: comparing beaches, collect litter on a quantified stretch, compare findings e.g. plastic species, glass pieces etc.
- Could devise beach quality survey, which record size, natural beauty, safety, degree of sand, service provision etc on a beach
- Could devise beach quality survey, which record size, natural beauty, safety, degree of sand, service provision etc on a beach
- Impacts of aquaculture: open net cage fish farms can discharge a lot of wastewater containing nutrients, chemicals + pharmaceuticals.
- Fieldwork project: comparing beaches, collect litter on a quantified stretch, compare findings e.g. plastic species, glass pieces etc.
- FIELDWORK AND RESEARCH. DESTRUCTION OF HIGH-VALUE COASTAL AREAS
- CRITERIA: PRESENCE OF ENDEMIC SPECIES (PLANTS AND ANIMALS ONLY FOUND IN THIS AREA). BIODIVERSITY OF AREA. AESTHETIC VALUE. AMENITY VALUE. VULNERABILITY TO HUMAN IMPACTS
- TECHNIQUE: COMPARE 2 COASTAL AREAS ON THE CRITERIA RATING EACH FROM 0-5. IDENTIFY THEY WAYS THE AREA IS IMPACTED BY HUMANS. EVALUATE DEGREE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.
- INTERVIEW STAKEHOLDERS.
