Future Earth Coasts Join Forces in Finding Collaborative Solutions for Coastal Sustainability at SRI Asia Spotlight Event | |
|
The SRI2023 Asia Spotlight event was held virtually as part of the Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress 2023 (SRI2023) from 10-12 July 2023. It provided a platform for sustainability experts to address regional challenges and opportunities. FEC co-executive directors Prof. Anja Scheffers and Dr. Xiaoyu Fang, along with former FEC executive director Dr. Sebastian Ferse, shared their expertise in different sessions, discussing environmental challenges and proposing collaborative approaches for sustainable development.
One session focused on developing a "Meta Network (Network of Networks)" framework for collaboration among programs on oceans, seas, and coasts. SIMSEA proposed this approach to enhance research and training efforts by promoting closer interaction and strategic planning. Dr. Xiaoyu Fang presented ongoing efforts at FEC for coastal sustainability and highlighted the need for collaboration and strategic coordination. FEC agreed to co-lead the development of the Meta-network framework in collaboration with SIMSEA.

FEC Recruited New Affiliated Project – Impact, Mechanism, Monitoring of Land Subsidence in Coastal Cities | |
|
Land subsidence, as a global geohazard, not only reduces the flood control capacity in urban areas, but also brings security risk and damage to buildings, roads, bridges, rail transits, flood control walls, underground lines, etc. The impact of land subsidence is especially obvious in coastal cities and proximity to shorelines, such as Shanghai and Jakarta, etc., for their low elevation. It’s important and urgent to carry out measures for the prevention and control of land subsidence.
In this project, we propose a scientific cooperative program between institutions and researchers to develop better understanding of land subsidence at international level, especially the less developed countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. IM2LSC plans to research the impacts of human activities and sea-level rise, hydro-mechanism and monitoring methods of land subsidence in coastal cities.
The project results will be transferred to sites in other developing countries, and recommendations will be released to play an effective role in the planning, construction, management and security assurance for different coastal cities.

Bonn Climate Conference Reflections by Future Earth Delegates | |
A BUMPY ROAD FOR NEGOTIATIONS
The goal of the Bonn Climate Change Conference, held from 5-15 June in Germany, was to prepare decisions for adoption at COP28 in Dubai in December. Building on the mandates that emerged from COP27 in Egypt last year, the conference convened the 58th session of the UNFCCC subsidiary bodies. Points of discussion included the global stocktake, the global goal on adaptation, the just transition to sustainable societies, the mitigation work program, loss and damage, and others.
| |
|
“The technical phase of the global stocktake concluded at the Bonn Conference and the political phase of the stocktake is starting. It is anticipated that this ongoing discussion will yield even more robust outcomes during COP 28, where key decisions will be made,” said Xiaoyu Fang, Co-Executive Director of Future Earth Coasts, and virtual Future Earth delegate to the Bonn Climate Change Conference. “The conference also shed light on the critical need to enhance the loss and damage mechanism. It became evident that providing financial and technical assistance to countries grappling with the severe impacts of climate change is of utmost importance.”

Q: What is the career achievement of which you are most proud of? Then how has it contributed to your field of coastal sciences?
A: Many scientific careers are built of small, incremental steps so I didn’t have this one breakthrough moment or anything. But one particular thing that I’m particularly proud of because it’s sort of marked a step change in my career was when I established my first working group and that was based on a third-party funding that I was able to apply for. And that was successful in that application. And it brought together researchers, PhD students, other students from different disciplines. So, it was an interdisciplinary working group. And that is something that I am proud of.
And I think it’s increasingly important in not only coastal science, but particularly in coastal science because it’s an area where so many different things converge. Coasts are zones of conversion between land and sea, but also between humans and nature.

Prof. Dr. Alice Newton:
"Scientists now know a great deal about eutrophication, its causes and its consequences. They have studied loads, pressures, deposition, algal blooms, hypoxia using a battery of scientific techniques from microscopy to satellites. They have written hundreds of papers in scientific journals, attended conferences, developed prediction models, monitored and assessed hundreds of watersheds all over the world, and still the issue of eutrophication is not solved.
| | |
|
As scientists, we were told that we are poor communicators, that we do not explain clearly what the problem is, that our articles are too compicated and full of jargon. So, we learned about science communication to reach out to environmental managers, decision-makers and policy makers. How difficult is it to communicate "too much fertiliser, or effluent" or N or P or sewage or organic waste, depending on the system? I think we have done that effectively and globally now, just as we have communicated about Green House Gases.
In France, this summer there is controversy about a new film (July 2023) entitled "Les algues vertes" or Green tide. This is about the consequences of eutrophication in Brittany where people and animals have died of H2S poisoning from decomposing algae. The problem has been studied, explained, communicated, but still it is not solved, because it involves difficult decisions. Eutrophication is no longer a scientific problem, it is a social one. We can solve the problem of eutrophication, but not in our research vessels, our laboratories and in our conferences and scientific articles. The Boesch 2019 explains why."

Barriers and Bridges in Abating Coastal Eutrophication | | |
|
Donald F. Boesch
University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Cambridge, MD, United States
Abstract:
Over the past 30 years concerted campaigns have been undertaken to reverse nutrient-driven eutrophication in coastal waters in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. Typically, eutrophication abatement has proven a more recalcitrant challenge than anticipated, with ecosystem improvements only recently beginning to emerge or falling short of goals. Reduction in nutrient loads has come mainly from advanced treatment of wastewaters and has lagged targets set for diffuse agricultural sources. Synthesis of the major campaigns—varying in terms of physical settings, ecosystem characteristics, nutrient sources, socio-economic drivers, and governance—identified barriers inhibiting eutrophication abatement and potential bridges to overcome them. Actionable science can be advanced by: application of the well-established and emerging knowledge and experience around the globe, client-responsive strategic research, and timely and conclusive adjudication of scientific controversies. More accountable governance requires: enduring engagement of high-level officials of the responsible governments; effective communication of the causes, risks and benefits to the public and stakeholders; quantitative and accountable allocation of responsibility for nutrient load reductions; and binding requirements, as opposed to simply voluntary actions. Effective reduction in nutrient loads requires: reduction strategies for both nitrogen and phosphorus; inclusion of actions that reduce atmospheric emissions of nitrogen in addition to direct inputs to waterways; efficacious regulations; public subsidies based on performance; limitations on biofuel production that increases nutrient loads; and enhancing the sinks and losses for legacy nutrients retained in soils and groundwater.

Novara One Planet
While in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, Veronica and Nigel connected with local communities and governing authorities to learn about the challenges and opportunities they face in tackling climate change. Bruce shared some lessons learned in working with communities to reduce risk and adapt to a changing climate. Here is a blog excerpt from one set of conversations with folk in Stornaway.

What struck me about our initial conversations with people at Stornoway, (Outer Hebrides, Scotland) was the goodwill between people tackling the climate crisis. Several people are collaborating to make their community, and that of the whole Outer Hebrides, climate safe. And Brian Whittington from Climate Hebrides has a central role in bringing together the groups, agencies and governance people who’re doing their bit on climate change. He’s the ultimate connector of people and negotiator of next steps.

Marine Debris Foundation Open Call for Grants - US &
International
| | |
|
The Marine Debris Foundation (MDF) is pleased to launch the first round of its Marine Debris Grants! The MDF seeks to address the problem of marine debris through diverse partnerships, initiatives, and creative solutions. It prioritizes grantmaking to eliminate marine debris and plastic pollution, and to augment the efforts and impact of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program. As such, any proposed project should fit into one or more of the following marine debris/plastic pollution focal areas:
- Reduction
- Prevention
- Removal
- Assessment
The MDF's Grantmaking Initiative is focused on strengthening, enhancing, and improving domestic and international efforts that address the adverse impacts of marine debris on the economy, environment, and/or maritime safety.
The Marine Debris Foundation awards grants in the United States of America and internationally. The MDF understands that many localities and communities are disproportionately impacted by the plastic crisis and, thus, projects in these areas will be given priority. In general, we will award funding to project submissions that deliver the biggest impact in and across the focal areas. Internationally, the MDF will emphasize funding in the Global South.
How to Apply:
If your organization is interested in applying, please review the Marine Debris Foundation Grantmaking Overview before applying. For this open call, grants will be given for up to $30,000 per award.
The grant application is open between July 3, 2023 and August 31, 2023 11:59pm Pacific Time. Applicants will be notified if they will move forward to the next phase of the process no later than September 30, 2023.
