Kelp Gulls (Larus dominicanus) killed and injured by discarded monofilament lines at a marine recreational fishery in northern Patagonia

Among marine debris, monofilament fishing lines often result in negative impacts on marine organisms. We characterized marine debris and incidence of lost and discarded monofilament lines along beaches used by recreational fishers, and report the impact of lines on Kelp Gulls (Larus dominicanus) at the Bahía San Blas protected area, site of one of the main shore-based recreational fisheries of the southwestern Atlantic. Over 55% of the marine debris recorded originated from recreational fishing activities. Balls of tangled monofilament lines were found at a rate of 40.5 items per km. A total of 27 adult Kelp Gulls were found entangled with monofilament. All individuals were tangled to vegetation within colony boundaries. Four of the gulls had a monofilament line protruding from the bill, showing that they may be also killed when trying to obtain bait. Our results indicate that lost or discarded monofilament lines in the Bahía San Blas recreational fishing area result in undesired impacts on coastal wildlife.  相似文献

Carrying assorted cargo and covered with paints of varying toxicity, lost intermodal containers may take centuries to degrade on the deep seafloor. In June 2004, scientists from Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) discovered a recently lost container during a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) dive on a sediment-covered seabed at 1281 m depth in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (MBNMS). The site was revisited by ROV in March 2011. Analyses of sediment samples and high-definition video indicate that faunal assemblages on the container’s exterior and the seabed within 10 m of the container differed significantly from those up to 500 m. The container surface provides hard substratum for colonization by taxa typically found in rocky habitats. However, some key taxa that dominate rocky areas were absent or rare on the container, perhaps related to its potential toxicity or limited time for colonization and growth. Ecological effects appear to be restricted to the container surface and the benthos within ∼10 m.  相似文献

We present a two‐dimensional model of the development of scree slopes using the discrete‐element method. We concentrate on the dynamics of the accumulating debris at the cliff foot rather than on the failure modes of the cliff‐face or shape of the underlying rock surface. The evolution of this unconsolidated material is intermittent and systematically changing over time, with an early high disturbance regime, dominated by a characteristic event size (where 65% of particles in the debris are in motion to some extent), replaced at later times by many shallow slides interspersed with infrequent large events that involve motion through almost the full scree depth. These large slides lead to a stratigraphy in which the layers of material are stretched almost horizontal near the base of the slope. The scree surface thus shows a gradient in age with most recent rock‐fall close to the cliff and the oldest rock‐fall debris outcropping at the foot. The final surface slope tends to show little curvature, and the final mean slope is well correlated with the angle of internal friction of the particles, although the change is very small over a wide range of friction angles [final slope (in degrees relative to horizontal) ~ 0.043 × internal friction angle + 17.49, with a correlation coefficient of 0.89, p‐value 0.0001]. Some weak size‐segregation of the debris is found, but this seems to have little to do with individual particles bounding down the slope. The shape of the rock core agrees largely with the analytic forms given by Fisher–Lehmann and Bakker–Le Heux expressions, but the original simple Fisher quadratic can give the best fit. Overall the evolution shows a remarkable insensitivity to the model parameters, suggesting that the controls on dry scree‐slope evolution are primarily geometric in character.

2013年西藏嘉黎县“7.5”冰湖溃决洪水成因及潜在危害   总被引：11，自引：3，他引：8

冰湖溃决洪水（泥石流）是西藏自治区主要自然灾害之一. 2013年7月5日,西藏自治区嘉黎县忠玉乡发生“7.5”冰湖溃决洪水灾害事件,导致人员失踪,房屋被毁,桥梁、道路等基础设施遭到严重破坏,直接经济损失高达2.7亿元. 基于不同时间段地形图和遥感影像资料,利用地理信息技术,发现导致“7.5”洪灾的溃决冰湖为然则日阿错. 该冰湖溃决的直接诱因可能是雪崩和冰崩的共同作用,溃决前的强降水过程及气温的快速上升是其间接原因,而冰湖长期稳定的扩张导致水量聚集是其溃决并造成巨大灾害的基础. 然则日阿错溃决后形成2个冰湖,面积分别为0.25 km²和0.01 km²,再次发生溃决的概率极小. 这次溃决洪水和泥石流灾害事件阻塞了尼都藏布的罗琼沟及衣布沟,并形成2处面积分别为0.33 km²和0.13 km²堰塞湖,且存在溃决风险,在今后一段时间内应加强监测工作与排险工程实施.  相似文献   

恒定渗流作用下泥石流起动过程冲刷试验分析   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

渗流是泥石流水动力条件主要来源之一,不同渗流流量具有不同的渗流力和冲刷力,从而可引起不同规模泥石流。通过开展室内水槽试验,利用测压管量测渗流过程中的孔隙水压力,并结合高清摄像技术从微观角度记录堆积土体内部细颗粒的运移、骨架颗粒的坍塌现象,以此分析研究土体渗透破坏、起动形成泥石流过程中的渗流和冲刷作用。在此基础上设定水槽坡度为7°,调节恒定渗流流量分别为120、170、265、320 ml/s,分析不同恒定渗流流量对固体堆积物失稳、泥石流起动过程中流态变化的影响。分析结果表明,在恒定渗流流量作用下,堆积土体内部细颗粒迁移、骨架颗粒坍塌造成土体颗粒重排列、孔隙水压力上升进而导致土体抗力降低是泥石流土体颗粒失稳、起动、冲刷的重要原因;随着渗流流量增加,流速迅速上升,土体内孔隙水压力逐步增大,骨架颗粒的失稳、移动主要受渗流及水流冲刷两方面共同作用,堆积土体颗粒的移动分别表现出缓慢小幅滑动后稳定、过渡型滑动和快速流滑现象。  相似文献   

泥石流源区砾石土分形特征及其与渗透系数关系试验研究     

贺拿  陈宁生  朱云华  杨建元  杨成林 《岩土力学》2014,35(9):2543-2548

以取自泥石流易发区的182个砾石土土样为基础,进行室内颗分试验,通过分形理论计算各土样的分维值,经计算发现,泥石流源区砾石土以一重分形为主,一重分形的土样占样本总数的88.46%,一重分形土样的分维值介于2.250～2.798之间;以此数据为基础配置土样,通过自制、可控的常水头试验装置进行渗透试验。试验结果表明,渗透系数k与分维值D之间有极显著的相关性,且在干密度为1.8 g/cm3时相关性最好。通过多元回归分析发现,不同密度条件下,k与D之间均有较好的幂函数关系;相同的分维值条件下土样的渗透系数随密度的增大呈减小的趋势,分维值在2.450～2.600之间时,样本的干密度 与渗透系数k之间的幂函数关系较为明显。试验结果可以为泥石流启动的临界雨量研究提供理论基础,提高已有预报模型的普适性及精度。  相似文献   

泥石流巨石冲击下的钢构格栅坝动力响应分析

泥石流中的巨石冲击是造成拦挡结构破坏的最直接因素,因此设置钢构格栅坝拦截大石块,对减小泥石流冲击破坏有十分重要的作用。本文就钢构格栅坝结构模型,利用国际通用计算动力荷载的非线性有限元软件ANSYS/LSDYNA进行数值模拟。用钢球模拟巨石,分别在格栅坝中间榀顶层梁柱节点和中间榀顶层柱中部施加冲击荷载,分析在冲击荷载作用下结构的动力响应。结果表明：作用在结构上的冲击力大小与被冲击构件刚度大小密切相关,被冲击构件刚度越大,结构受到的冲击力越大,反之,冲击力越小;钢构格栅坝在冲击作用下,冲击作用部位、结构支座部位及梁柱节点部位响应较大,设计时应予以加强;且钢构格栅坝不同位置遭受冲击作用时结构响应完全不同,与冲击力作用在梁柱节点时相比较,冲击力作用在构件中部时结构整体响应明显较小。该结果为泥石流拦挡工程中钢构格栅坝的设计提供了参考。  相似文献

统计分析中巴公路沿线红其拉甫河(Khunjerab River)、洪扎河(Huza River)、吉尔吉特河(Gilgit River)、印度河(India River)共计45个河床沉积物样本,对比分析了样本的平均值、中值、分选系数、偏态和峰度等粒度参数,初步探讨了公路沿线河床沉积物粒度分布与区域内泥石流沉积物的关系,结果表明河流沉积物主要来源于泥石流补给,因而具有了类似于泥石流沉积物的分布特征。  相似文献   

安宁河断裂带勒帕沟泥石流发育特征及防治建议     

张瑞端  郭长宝  张永双  付晓晓 《地质力学学报》2014,20(2):132-139

2011年6月17日,勒帕沟发生近50年来最大的一次泥石流,经计算泥石流断面平均流速为2.03 m/s,峰值流量为200.11 m3/s,为大型泥石流,对帕勒村村民生命财产造成了巨大危害。勒帕沟上游岸坡前缘不稳定斜坡体及勒帕沟沟道内松散堆积的卵砾石为勒帕沟泥石流的主要物源。上游支沟中碎屑物块度较小,易被水流冲走,不会形成堰塞湖和溃决型泥石流。勒帕沟流域现今仍有再次暴发泥石流的可能,建议于流域中上游进行人工植树造林,在下游清理河道,进行监测预警,以实现泥石流综合防治。   相似文献
