A system dynamics model demonstrating that halting new marine plastic inputs by 2050 is insufficient on its own to prevent microplastic accumulation, as existing legacy macroplastics continue to fragment into microplastics.

“[The authors] new study in the Plum Island Estuary (MA) incorporates future sea-level rise uncertainty and DEM bias correction to expose non-linear tipping points before resilient marsh platforms shift into rapid drowning. By synthesizing these simulations into a "marsh fate" map, [they] provide coastal managers with a practical tool to identify resilient core habitats, prioritize vulnerable intervention zones, and secure future migration corridors for targeted restoration…”

Oysters continuously filter coastal waters and deposit excess nitrogen into the ocean floor sediment, a natural process known as nitrogen burial. A recent study demonstrates that this ecosystem service has an economic value 42% higher than previously estimated.

Big Island Now: Hawaiʻi County launches an accessible, online coastal zone management atlas. “The atlas includes various data layers and measurement tools that map coastal hazards and ecosystems. For example, one data layer shows areas most susceptible to landslides and indicates when they are more likely to occur.”

Assessment of Shoreline Change in Southeast Ireland Using Geospatial Techniques

https://doi.org/10.3390/su18073280 <-- shared paper

"... KEY INSIGHTS:
• Coastlines are highly dynamic — 57% accretion vs 42% erosion
• Strong contrasts between east-facing (Irish Sea) and south-facing (Atlantic) coasts
• Identification of critical erosion hotspots (e.g., Tramore) and accretion zones in embayments
• Coastal change is driven by a combination of wave climate, sediment availability, geology, and human activity
