Port Okha coast, which is known for its luxuriant growth of a diverse assemblage of seaweeds on Saurashtra coast, is found to have abundant quantities of seaweeds being drifted and washed ashore every year. Studies conducted for quantifying the stranded seaweeds from May 2004 to April 2005 showed an average biomass value of 3.10 kg fresh wt/m²/month with maximum being 6.60 kg fresh wt/m² in April. The stranded weeds constituted a total of 62 species during the entire study period. Of this, Rhodophyta ranked high with 26 species followed by Chlorophyta with 22 species and Phaeophyta with 14 species. The stranded seaweeds that were washed ashore provide valuable floristic information about the intertidal and near shore sub-tidal algae of the respective regions. Although natural senescence of seaweeds is one of the major factors, strong currents primarily forced by tides, also contribute to the uprooting and subsequent drifting of seaweeds on to the beach. This ultimately causes changes in floristic features of the existing algal beds.  相似文献

左书华  韩志远  黄玉新  韩洁  解鸣晓 《海洋学报(英文版)》2016,35(4):9-18

沉积物分布对河口海岸地区的地貌演变和岸线变化非常重要。本文收集了2008年9月厦门湾海域的230个表层沉积物样品的数据,研究其表层沉积物空间分布和运输特征。厦门湾海域表沉积物的粒度分布特征非常明显。同时在应用GSTA模型对沉积物进行输运趋势分析的基础上探讨该区域泥沙运移趋势。结果表明,该海域有八种沉积物类型,粘土质粉砂占有比例最高,为65.22%;而且在不同的分区,由于不同的沉积物源和水动力条件,粒度参数特征也有所不同。径流、潮汐和波浪是海床表层沉积物、滩涂变化的主要控制动力,泥沙运动趋势与水动力条件密切相关。  相似文献

大东港位于辽宁省丹东市东南４０公里处,是我国沿海最北端的一个海港,１９８２年以来观测积累了大量的水文泥沙资料,以往的水文测验和计算颇为繁杂。本文通过分析对比提出以潮位升降变率为动力参数计算断面输沙强度的计算公式,以净输沙强度推算海湾冲淤状况,简化了原体观测和计算的工作量,并通过淤积速率较好的预测海湾的自然寿命。  相似文献   

Shaping Sydney Harbour: Sedimentation,dredging and reclamation 1788-1990s     

Lynette C. McLoughlin 《The Australian geographer》2000,31(2):183-208

Described by Governor Phillip as 'the finest harbour in the world', Sydney Harbour was affected by accelerated sedimentation very soon after settlement in 1788. Dredging began in 1842 to deal with the problems caused by sedimentation and to enhance foreshore amenity. By the end of the nineteenth century, dredging was also excavating the bottom of the Harbour and its bays to accommodate larger ships with deeper draughts, and dredged sediment was increasingly used to reclaim mudflats or marshes deemed unhealthy or unsightly, thereby creating additional useful waterfront land. There was virtually continuous dredging in some part or other of the Harbour and its tributaries for almost 140 years. With increasing costs and mounting environmental concerns, dredging is now intermittent, and carried out largely to facilitate navigation for specific projects, despite continued sedimentation. While there was an early lack of understanding of the Australian environment and the impact of clearing on soils, the causes of increased sedimentation had been documented by the 1860s. However, measures to seriously address causes were not introduced until late in the twentieth century. This paper briefly outlines the development of the Sydney estuary to 1788, considers the impact of settlement in accelerating sedimentation, traces the development of dredging and reclamation, and discusses their significance for a number of areas of current research and environmental management, as well as to social and economic history. Within the limitations of the data available, annual sediment dredged, annual expenditure, cost per tonne, and areas reclaimed by dredging and filling are included.  相似文献   

Evidence on target factors used for port state control inspections     

Pierre Cariou  Maximo Q. Mejia  Francois-Charles Wolff   《Marine Policy》2009,33(5):847-859

Target factors aim at setting criteria to select foreign vessels that should be inspected by port state control authorities. Although a relative consensus exists on the main factors to consider in selecting vessels, the weight to be given to these factors is still unclear. Using data on 26 515 PSC inspections that took place within the Indian Ocean MoU region from 2002 to 2006, we investigate the determinants of the number of deficiencies and of the probability of detention. Our results show that the main contributors to detention are the age of the vessel at inspection (40%), the recognised organization (31%) and the place where the inspection occurs (17%). Also, differences in detention rates amongst various inspecting authorities are essentially explained by differences in the characteristics of vessels calling in a specific country rather than by differences in the way inspections are done.  相似文献

Port selection factors by shipping lines: Different perspectives between trunk liners and feeder service providers   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Young-Tae Chang  Sang-Yoon Lee  Jose L. Tongzon   《Marine Policy》2008,32(6):877-885

The objective is to identify the factors affecting shipping companies’ port choice based on a survey to a sample of shipping companies. Six factors were considered relatively important: local cargo volume; terminal handling charge; berth availability; port location; transshipment volume and feeder network. Exploratory factor and confirmatory factor analyses identified five port choice categories, i.e. advancement/convenience of port; physical/operational ability of port; operational condition of shipping lines; marketability; and port charge. A comparison between the main trunk and feeder service providers indicated that the former face more intense competition than the latter. Moreover, the main haul shipping lines are more sensitive to port cost factors.  相似文献

20世纪90年代以来,在地缘经济合作机制的影响下,作为中南半岛唯一的内陆国家,老挝边境地区正在经历以建设用地扩张为主的土地利用与覆被变化（LUCC）。本文以中老磨憨-磨丁口岸为例,基于2016年2月-2018年11月10期Sentinel-2 A/B 10 m分辨率遥感影像,利用面向对象与分类后目视修改相结合方法提取2016-2018年磨憨-磨丁口岸15 km缓冲带的建设用地分布信息,并分析了建设用地的时空变化及国别差异。研究结果表明：① 中老磨憨-磨丁口岸地区经历了阶段性快速发展,由2016年年初的1098.8 hm ²激增到2018年年底的2238.8 hm ²,增加了1140.0 hm ²,其中50.8%的新增建设用地集中在海拔800~1000 m,80.9%在坡度20°以下;② 中国磨憨口岸侧建设用地占研究区建设用地的比重从63.3%递减至54.8%,但仍占规模优势,由695.4 hm ²猛增到1226.7 hm ²,平均增幅6.7%;③ 老挝磨丁口岸侧建设用地增加近1.5倍,从403.4 hm ²剧增到1012.1 hm ²,平均增幅11.1%,占比由36.7%递增到45.2%。可见,日益发展的地缘经济合作是推动中老两国边境地区（特别是口岸）土地利用变化的主要诱因。  相似文献   

Assessment and prediction of shoreline change using multi-temporal satellite images and statistics: Case study of Damietta coast,Egypt     

《Applied Ocean Research》2019

The shoreline trajectory of Damietta city, locates at the Northern coast of Egypt, is dramatically subjected to kinematic changes. These variations mainly occur based on the incessant duel hydrodynamic impacts of both wave action and coastal currents. Several types of coastal measures have been applied substantially along the coastal stretch of Damietta to protect shoreline such as detached breakwaters, Jetties, groins, and seawalls. This study is essentially focused on the assessment of shoreline kinematics response due to the existence of these structures during the period from 1990 to 2015. In addition, the future changes of the shoreline at 2020, 2025 and 2035 are predicted using satellite images, Geo-spatial tools and Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) by the meaning of End Point Rate (EPR) and Linear Regression Rate (LRR) methods. Four Landsat images at different periods; TM1990, TM 1999, ETM 2003 and ETM 2015 are used to detect shoreline changes. Three semi-automatic extraction techniques are initially tempted for Landsat ETM 2003 imagery namely; Iso cluster technique, threshold method, and onscreen digitizing method to select the optimal one. Iso cluster technique is used as the optimal technique which achieves the least errors with the corresponding field data in 2003 by value of 0.34. Furthermore, the extraction shoreline change for Damietta coast is extensively measured for three zones: zone (1) the western sector encompassing Damietta port with two jetties; zone (2) the central sector including detached breakwaters; zone (3) the eastern portion of Damietta estuary passing through a seawall. Verification analysis shows that the EPR is the optimum method for shoreline detection with a value of RMSE by 0.27. The results show that, for zone (1), the western shoreline of Damietta port is progressed by a rate of +10.0 m/year. On the other hand, the shoreline on the down drift side at zone (2) has retreated by a rate of -5.0 m/year. While the shoreline behind the detached breakwaters in the central sector has advanced by +12.0 m/year from 1999 to 2003, then decreased gradually until become stable in 2015. For zone (3), alongshore currents have derived the disassembled sandy soil from west to east leaving a highly eroded area by average rate of -78m/year. The results of this study give indication to shoreline trend of near future which should be under consideration in planning of Damietta coastal zone.  相似文献
