What have we been up to

FEC and CERTO will be working together to support sustainable development in river deltas

We are pleased to announce that Future Earth Coasts will be collaborating with the CERTO project (Copernicus Evolution: Research for harmonised Transitional water Observation, https://certo-project.org/ ), which aims to undertake research and development necessary to produce harmonised water quality data from each service and extend Copernicus to the large number of stakeholders operating in transitional waters.

The FEC affiliated project Mega-Delta Programme (https://delta.ecnu.edu.cn/) aims to support sustainable development in 25 globally representative deltas through study of the current status and threats facing these areas. CERTO will contribute water quality data to the Mega-Delta Programme by covering the Danube, the Ganges, Indus and Nile. This collaboration will lead to better understanding the status of these deltas and contribute to the Mega Delta programme objectives for these regions:

  • Understand the current status of global river deltas.
  • Explore the mechanisms of delta evolution under the influence of global climate change and human activities.
  • Predict future trends of water-sediment and socio-economic evolution, as well as early warning for hazards.
  • Provide solutions for common problems, such as sea level rise, coastal erosion, flood disasters, saltwater intrusion, soil and water pollution, and ecosystem degradation.

FEC Fellows Session: Just Transition

The FEC Fellows Session “Pathways to Coastal Sustainability: Just Transitions” took place online on 24 April. This webinar focused on the FEC theme ‘Pathways to Sustainability’ that aims to identify plausible Pathways to coastal sustainability to avoid unwanted futures. The workshop gathered a panel of respectful, highly-anticipated FEC academy members to share their perspectives on the topic 'Just Transitions'. It was moderated by FEC fellow Dr. Lesile Mabon and FEC academician Dr. Liana McManus. Prof. Tim Smith (Co-Chair of FEC), Prof. Denis Aheto and Prof. Luiz Drude de Lacerda joined the webinar as guest speakers.


FEC have been working with strategic partners to enable stakeholders to identify and choose credible, relevant and legitimate coastal sustainability pathways for their region. The work include understanding barriers and enablers for transitioning to coastal sustainability, and identifying practical processes to identify and institutionalize transitions to alternative futures. The underlying aim is to understand how society, and its institutions, can be empowered to make decisions that resolve conflicting interests and turn coastal sustainability knowledge into practical action.


Just transitions – the idea that our responses to climate change and sustainability challenges must not leave behind the people and places who rely on resource economies – are especially significant for coastal regions globally. In the workshop, participants looked at how different coastal regions globally are trying to create fair and decent work, and a sustainable economy, for people and places who have previously relied on high-emitting industries and also for people and places whose livelihoods depend on natural resources.


In the wrap-up notes, Dr Lesile Mabon emphasized that just transition means developing realistic and feasible pathways to a more sustainable and low-carbon economy and society for carbon-intensive regions and recognizing reliance on industry for jobs and revenue. Coastal societies have significant potential as sites for climate change mitigation through renewable energy, carbon sequestration, etc. Yet coastal societies also rely heavily on natural resources for jobs and the local economy. The vital of 'Just Transitions' is that developments happen in the interest of the communities nearest to them and bring jobs and innovation to coastal societies.

Response of Shallow Gas-Charged Holocene Deposits in the Yangtze Delta to Meter-Scale Erosion Induced by Diminished Sediment Supply: Increasing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Yufeng ChenBing DengGuiling ZhangWeiguo ZhangShu Gao


Abstract

River deltas have long been considered important carbon sinks. However, the presence of shallow gas and the processes of delta erosion caused by diminished sediment supplies could reduce the strength of the carbon sink. In this study, based on historical bathymetric data and a data set obtained from a seismic survey, we investigate the response of gas-charged deposits in the Yangtze subaqueous delta to seabed erosion. A conservative estimate of the total methane reserves of 0.55–4.35 × 10^11 mol was obtained in the delineated gassy area of ∼3,800 km^2. The seismic and bathymetric data reveal a prominent erosional belt at water depths ranging from 5 to 20 m and extending from the southwestern to northeastern nearshore areas of the Yangtze subaqueous delta. Erosion is severe in the south and slight in the north due to differences in the hydrodynamic conditions, sediment erodibility, and sensitivity to sediment reduction. Seabed erosion reduces the thickness of the cap bed and the overburden pressure at the gas front, making it easier for gas to seep through the sediment column and bypass the anaerobic oxidation of methane. The good agreement between the elevated methane concentrations and the erosional belts and the spatial coincidence between the shallower gas front and pockmarks indicate that seabed erosion accelerates gas seepage activities. In the context of global deltaic degradation, the increasing greenhouse gas emissions from deltaic deposits are worthy of further attention.

The concept of land bridge marshes in the Mississippi River Delta and implications for coastal restoration

John W. Day, Robert R. Twilley a, Angelina Freeman, Brady Couvillion, Tracy Quirk, Navid Jafari, Giulio Mariotti, Rachael Hunter, Charles Norman, G. Paul Kemp, John R. White, Ehab Meselhe

Abstract

Louisiana has high coastal wetland loss rates due to natural processes such as subsidence and anthropogenic activities such as construction of river levees and dams, pervasive alteration of surface hydrology by local industries such as oil and gas, and navigation. With the exception of the Atchafalaya River discharge area, most of Louisiana's marsh coastline is retreating and coastal marshes are degrading. In the inactive degrading delta regions, there exists a previously uncharacterized landform referred to colloquially as coastal ‘land bridge’ marshes. Land bridge marshes are saline or brackish marshes fronting large estuarine bays or lakes with sufficient fetch and wave energy to supply high levels of resuspended sediments to the marsh surface. They are generally linear features that are oriented parallel to the coast and the shoreline front retreats landward due to erosion from wave energy. These marshes persist over time vertically due to input of resuspended sediments but are experiencing rapid edge erosion due to wave attack. Comparison of data from Louisiana's Coastal Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) sites show that land bridge marshes have a greater frequency of higher soil surface elevation and higher soil bulk density than non-land bridge marshes. Because land bridges are vertically stable relative to other coastal wetlands, identification of measures to sustain these landscape features is important. Simulations using MarshMorpho2D, a process-based reduced-complexity morphology model, suggest that protection barriers installed on the seaward side of land bridge marshes will attenuate wave energy and, thus, edge erosion. Shoreline protection that can reduce wave energy but still allow sediment input to marshes include living shorelines, rock barriers, and/or breakwaters. Periodic thin layer nourishment of the marsh surface may be necessary to help sustain vertical growth. Further, marsh creation projects directly landward of land bridge marshes may benefit from their protection from waves and as a source of sediment. Consideration of land bridge marshes as distinct marsh types in the State Master Plan and integrated modeling could help to identify measures to sustain these landscape features.

Key lessons from new perspectives on Australian coastal management

Nick Harvey, Timothy F. Smith

Abstract

Approaches to Australian coastal management are constantly changing yet continue to fall short in terms of social-ecological resilience. We provide a commentary on contemporary Australian coastal management issues and responses, informed by a selection of papers that were invited for a Special Issue of this journal following the Australian Coastal Society's 2021 national coastal conference. The selected papers were categorised into three groupings: 1) coastal governance; 2) coastal threats and adaptation; and 3) coastal processes. They were then analysed in the context of both the unique Australian federated approach to coastal management and the international literature on coastal management. A number of findings and themes emerge. First, the paper confirms previous findings on a lack of federal leadership in Australian coastal management and lack of action on recommendations from numerous national coastal inquiries. The paper concludes that: there has been a significant reduction of coastal expertise in the federal public service; there is a lack of a well-defined broad-based federal funding mechanism for coastal management; there is a need to incorporate a sediment compartment approach in both Australian coastal planning and climate adaptation strategies; a number of coastal management instruments at the State level appear not fit for purpose; and coastal adaptation faces conflicts in balancing property rights with public coastal amenity.

Socio-ecological challenges and food security in the ‘salad bowl’ of Fiji, Sigatoka Valley

Kerrie PickeringTristan PearceLui ManuelBrendan Doran & Timothy F. Smith 

Abstract

This article examines food security in the Sigatoka Valley, one of the most productive food regions in Fiji, in the context of recent socio-ecological challenges through a case study of Narewa village. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews (n = 25), a fixed question food insecurity experience survey (n = 25), and a free listing exercise about preferred and consumed foods (n = 24). Results revealed that while most households had access to sufficient food, the increased frequency and intensity of droughts, tropical cyclones, and flooding caused almost half to worry about meeting their future food needs. To date, a culture of sharing within the village has helped most households access food but this will likely be inadequate to meet future needs as climate change is projected to impact food production. Given that the foundation of food production in Narewa, like other villages in the valley, relies on the long-term viability of agricultural systems, better focus needs to be placed on the natural resources that form the backbone of these systems such as water availability, soil health, and slope stability and their resilience to anthropogenic and natural stressors. Efforts that focus on protecting and enhancing local ecosystems in light of expected future climate change, combined with greater attention on food storage and the use of resilient crops, and enhancing social cohesion and sharing networks are needed to avoid breaching tipping points in the food system.
