Resilience and Coastal Ecosystems: Three Typologies, Three Design Approaches
Published in Elizabeth Mossop, Sustainable Coastal Design and Planning, 2018
Steven N. Handel, Gina Ford, Briana Hensold
Through this project, Natco Lake, created by adjacent industrial uses, and the surrounding burgeoning marshland can be nurtured and transformed into an ecological system that helps manage storm surge and water inflow, as well as provide a destination for recreational boating and wildlife viewing (see Figure 12.9). In combination with new marina functions, marsh landscapes will be designed to mitigate contamination, contributing to a cleaner bay and supporting the future economic health of estuarine occupations such as fishing. The objective is to simultaneously reduce localized flooding from heavy storm events, protect communities from storm surge risks, and reconnect residents and visitors to a regional recreation amenity that provides better drainage into watersheds and wetlands.
Effects of major hurricanes in Atlantic Canada from 2003 to 2018

Four hurricanes were studied: Juan, Noel, Earl and Igor. The cause and effect analysis showed that toppled trees and flooding are the major causes that block roads during the emergency response phase. Storm surges can cause severe damage in the coastal areas, especially in ports and marinas. In terms of supply chain response, an assessment map based on blocked roads during past hurricanes is suggested in order to predict different possible paths to flow emergency resources such as water and food.
Stormwater Sources and Contaminants
Published in Roger D. Griffin, Principles of Stormwater Management, 2018
Because marinas are located right at the water's edge, there is a strong potential for marina waters to become contaminated with pollutants generated from various boating and maintenance activities, including toilette discharges. Contaminants may enter stormwater runoff from parking lots or boat maintenance and repair areas, polluting nearby basins and streams (Figure 4.17).
Long-term marine immersion corrosion of welded ABS grade steels

The same combinations of steels and welds were exposed at three different exposure sites. These were chosen so that, apart from annual average dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentrations and average sea water temperatures, all other environmental variables could be considered essentially the same, noting that DIN is relevant for microbiologically influenced corrosion [28]. The sites used were Taylors Beach NSW (minimal DIN levels and temperate waters), Port of Newcastle NSW (slightly elevated DIN and temperate waters) and Darwin Marina NT (minimal DIN levels and tropical waters). The water chemistry for each site is presented in Table 3. It is noted that storm events may cause some short-term changes in sea water chemistry; however, these are likely buffered [32]. Annual averages for temperature and DIN concentrations are used throughout. Figure 2 shows an example exposure condition, in this case, Darwin Marina. Retrievals occurred every 6 months from each site, with a total of 8 coupons per site being retrieved for analysis. One complete set of coupons was arranged in a bucket, one for each retrieval, to facilitate easy and unambiguous recovery (one bucket per recovery at each site), thereby ensuring all combinations were considered. Figure 3 shows an example. Following recovery, the coupons were cleaned to remove most marine growth. After reaching the laboratory, they were cleaned using standard practice [22,29,33]. After drying, the coupons were photographed and examined for corrosion morphology and pitting.
Digitalization in the sea-land supply chain: experiences from Italy in rethinking the port operations within inter-organizational relationships
Published in Production Planning & Control, 2020
Assunta Di Vaio, Luisa Varriale
This paper investigates two port experiences in Italy, the port of Leghorn and the ports of Bari, Brindisi and Manfredonia. These ports were involved by the last Italian port reform, which drastically changed the Italian port system (D. Lgs. n. 169/2016), providing a new frame for the overall port system with the institution of the Port System Authority (PSA) (Autorità di Sistema Portuale, AdSP), whereby 15 AdSPs were created by merging the previous 24 port authorities. The port of Leghorn is the core port of the AdSP Northern Tyrrhenian Sea (Leghorn core port) that also includes the ports of Piombino, Portoferraio, Rio Marina, Cavo and Capraia Isola. The port of Bari, which was included in the ports of Levante together with Brindisi and Manfredonia, is now the core port of the AdSP Southern Adriatic Sea, which also includes the ports of Barletta and Monopoli.
Determining the bilge water waste risk and management in the Gulf of Antalya by the Monte Carlo method
Published in Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 2021

The coastal length of Antalya province, extending from Eşen Stream in the west to Kaledron (Kaldıran) Stream in the east, is 640 km. With such length, it constitutes 40% of the Mediterranean Region coastal line. The region covering the city center of Antalya, housing a population of approximately 2.5 million, is in the status of a tourism center to a certain extent. There is a “fisherman port” and a “harbor” that houses cargo ships, cruise ships, and a marina among the coastal structures within the area. There is a filling facility on the shore transported by oil pipelines. The world-famous Konyaaltı beach is one of the recreational areas for public use in the coastal region.
