ClearSocial Inequalities of Climate Change With a Regional and Global Approach
This paper examines the social inequalities created by climate change, arguing that its effects disproportionately harm lower-income and marginalized communities. The analysis connects climate change, environmental pollution, and systemic inequity as linked challenges requiring coordinated global responses.
Linking coastal environmental and health observations for human wellbeing
This paper proposes a framework for linking coastal environmental monitoring data with human health observations to create integrated coastal health indicators, identifying locations where climate change and pollution may create hotspots of health concern. The approach aims to improve understanding of how coastal environmental quality affects human wellbeing.
A Literature Review of Climate-Related Coastal Risks in the Mediterranean, a Climate Change Hotspot
This literature review assesses climate-related coastal risks in the Mediterranean, finding that rising sea levels, intensifying storms, and increased flooding threaten coastal communities, biodiversity, and cultural heritage across the region.
The Transformation of Coastal Governance Pattern from Human Ecology to Political Ecology—A Case Study of Jimei Peninsula, Xiamen, China
This study examined how coastal governance on China's Jimei Peninsula shifted from human ecology to political ecology, finding that a 2002 coastal exclusion policy eroded maritime culture, disrupted local livelihoods, and caused ecological degradation.
Multi-Criteria Relationship Analysis of Knowledge, Perception, and Attitude of Stakeholders for Engagement towards Maritime Pollution at Sea, Beach, and Coastal Environments
Researchers used multi-criteria analysis to assess the knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of stakeholders toward marine pollution governance, finding persistent gaps between awareness and action, and identifying barriers to mobilizing the level of engagement needed for effective protection of vulnerable coastal ecosystems.
Transdisciplinary, Co-Designed and Adaptive Management for the Sustainable Development of Rongcheng, a Coastal City in China in the Context of Human Activities and Climate Change
A transdisciplinary adaptive management framework was developed for sustainable coastal city development in Rongcheng, China, integrating ecological, social, and climate change considerations into a co-designed governance approach. The study demonstrates how systems thinking can guide coastal city management to balance economic growth with environmental resilience.
Costal Poverty and Vulnerability Dynamics
This review synthesizes evidence on poverty and vulnerability dynamics in coastal communities, highlighting how dependence on natural resources increases susceptibility to environmental changes and marine pollution including microplastics. The authors identify how climate change and pollution compound livelihood insecurity in remote coastal areas.
Assessing Coastal Erosion and Climate Change Adaptation Measures: A Novel Participatory Approach
This paper is not about microplastics; it presents a participatory framework for assessing and planning coastal erosion mitigation and climate change adaptation measures, applied to a Portuguese municipality.
Ilmu Kesehatan Masyarakat Pesisir
This book presents a comprehensive academic treatment of coastal community public health, addressing the complexity of environmental health issues facing coastal populations including exposure to marine pollutants and the intersection of ecosystem degradation with human wellbeing.
Re-imagining the driver–pressure–state–impact–response framework from an equity and inclusive development perspective
This paper critiques the widely used DPSIR environmental policy framework for overlooking social justice and equity, arguing that environmental burdens fall disproportionately on vulnerable communities. The critique is relevant to microplastic pollution, which often affects lower-income and coastal communities most severely.
Coastal Vulnerability Assessment: A Case Study of the Nigerian Coastline
Researchers assessed the vulnerability of the Nigerian coastline to sea-level rise and associated hazards including erosion, flooding, and saltwater intrusion using analytical methods. The study quantified and classified coastal vulnerability across the Nigerian shoreline to support evidence-based coastal management.
Assessments of physical, social, and economic vulnerability in Tarakan due to climate change
Researchers assessed the physical, social, and economic vulnerability of coastal communities in Tarakan City, Indonesia to climate change using Likert and Guttman scales and Spearman rank correlation, finding high physical vulnerability (80%) and medium socioeconomic vulnerability (52%) among residents in disaster-prone coastal zones.
Earth Observations for Monitoring Marine Coastal Hazards and Their Drivers
Researchers reviewed the use of Earth observation technologies for monitoring coastal hazards including pollution, sea-level changes, and extreme weather events. The study highlights how satellite-based monitoring and forecasting systems are increasingly important for managing risks to densely populated coastal zones, including emerging threats from marine pollution such as microplastics.
Bibliometric Analysis of Urban Coastal Development: Strategies for Climate-Resilient Timber Housing
Researchers performed a bibliometric analysis of urban coastal development literature, with a focus on climate-resilient timber housing strategies for coastal zones facing sea level rise and extreme weather events. The study maps publication trends, normative frameworks, and economic factors shaping sustainable low-carbon construction approaches in Chilean coastal urban areas.
Economic and Ecological Impacts of Climate Change on Coastal Fisheries: A Global Analysis of Vulnerability and Adaptive Management Strategies
Researchers conducted a global analysis of how climate change compounds existing threats to coastal fisheries, including pollution from microplastics and other anthropogenic stressors. The study evaluated vulnerability across regions and assessed adaptive management strategies. The findings suggest that integrated approaches addressing both climate and pollution pressures are needed to sustain coastal fisheries.
Coastal vulnerability modelling and social vulnerability assessment under anthropogenic impacts
This study modeled coastal vulnerability and social vulnerability on the south coast of the Bohai Sea in China, integrating land-based human activities, tidal dynamics, and social exposure data. In 2020, 25.2% of the coastal zone showed high combined vulnerability, with aquaculture ponds and port infrastructure identified as key drivers of disaster risk.
Integrating the Climate Change Migration Paradox into the Maritime Jurisdiction of Small Island Developing Countries (SIDs)†
This review examines the legal and jurisdictional challenges that climate change poses for Small Island Developing States under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, analyzing how rising sea levels and climate-driven territorial loss threaten the preservation of maritime rights and jurisdiction for island nations.
Sandy beach social–ecological systems at risk: regime shifts, collapses, and governance challenges
Researchers examined how sandy beach ecosystems worldwide are being threatened by expanding coastal development, climate change, and pollution including plastic waste. They found that these combined pressures can push beach systems past tipping points, leading to rapid ecological collapses that are difficult to reverse. The study highlights the need for integrated governance approaches that consider beaches as interconnected social and ecological systems rather than just recreational spaces.
Towards an urban marine ecology: characterizing the drivers, patterns and processes of marine ecosystems in coastal cities
Researchers reviewed the emerging field of urban marine ecology, examining how coastal cities transform nearby marine environments through resource exploitation, pollution, and construction of artificial structures. They found that urban marine ecosystems are characterized by spatially heterogeneous pollution patterns and biotic homogenization over time. The study calls for an integrated framework to better understand and manage the unique ecological dynamics of marine environments adjacent to major cities.
Integrated and Sustainable Management of Post-industrial Coasts
Post-industrial coastlines face legacy contamination in soils and sediments combined with rising sea levels and climate change. This review proposes integrated risk management frameworks that use low-cost, sustainable approaches to manage coastal pollution.
